Little Mason lowered his head, bowing and apologizing with a great attitude. Then he looked up at Arthur “Handsome uncle, don’t just stand there apologize to my Mommy.”
Arthur moved his lips, but he had never apologized to anyone before, not even once.
“Torget it”
Anna took a deep breath. It seemed that she had been overthinking things. Arthur wouldn’t take advantage of her like that. She cleared her throat “You all can leave now. I want to go study!”
She needed to read a book to calm herself down
“Alright then, Mommy. I love you!” Little Mason exclaimed before quickly grabbing Jeremy’s hand and running out of the room. It’s not every day one would be freed from such a terrifying monummy!
He better keep his distance!
In the quiet room, Arthur had no intention of leaving
Anna furrowed her brows and licked her dry lips as she looked at him. “Mr. Reynolds, I want…”
“I’m sorry.”
The man uttered three words from his mouth, then added, “I didn’t mean it.“

His cold and sharp face exided indifference, but the unclear emotions in his eyes were quickly captured by Would a man so high and mighty actually apologize?
Anna felt a bit embarrassed.
Did she misjudge him?

“But I have my own thoughts, my own standards, and I don’t need Mr. Reynolds to offer himself because of these trivial matters” She didn’t care.
It was just a misunderstanding, nothing to care about.
Or maybe when he said he was interested, he meant her identity and what happened to her five years ago!
“Alright, I understand.-
Arthur didn’t say anything more and walked out of the room
Anna watched his figure and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Late at night, a loud noise woke Anna from her sleep.

The man took several seconds to respond, his voice clearly restraining something, and his mood didn’t seem good.
“Mr. Reynolds, do you mind if I come in and check on you?”

Arthur weakly grabbed Anna’s hand
