Chapter 97 - 97. Don't Reject Me (2)
"Ah yes, I have a question for you, honey," he added after a few seconds of silence.
Anna who heard that somehow felt a little scared.
"How can you have a son from that man?" Brian asked and it made Anna's body stiffen.
How did Brian know all that? Whereas, she never told this to anyone, not even to Nicho though.
"No need to hide it from me, I even know you used the name Nicho as the father of your son."
Anna was stunned, "I never did that," Anna protested because she never did. Let alone using the name Nicho, she never even asked the man anything.
Seeing Anna's response, Brian's brow furrowed faintly, "Really?"
Anna nodded in agreement.
"Okay if you don't want to tell me. I think we're even. You used to see me with another woman and you with another man," Brian said then chuckled, playing the dessert in front of him as if something interesting came into his mind.
Brian didn't speak again, he then looked at Anna intently then smiled, "I never thought that you who looked so ordinary could attract the attention of so many men," Brian murmured in a voice that sounded very small, making Anna didn't know what that man says. The woman then glanced around again, still quiet and there were only the two of them there.
"I'm reserving this place for you," Brian said suddenly as if he knew what Anna was thinking.
Anna didn't respond, just glanced at Brian, and then went back to eating. She didn't know how to respond. Brian hurt her, was very rude to her and he was the one who gave her this kind of treatment.
However, one thing is certain for Anna, that her love for Brian is dead, gone, nothing remains, there is only a feeling of hurt that continues to eat away at her heart.
Suddenly another question arose in Anna's mind, how could Brian be like this now? Even though in the past the man's finances were not much different from her, was it because of his adoptive father? She became very sure that something big had happened in the past five years to this man.
"Are you done?" Brian asked when he saw the woman sitting there with her head down.
"Oh, erm."
"Okay, then let's go," Brian said then stood up from his position.
Anna gave no reply and just followed the man to his feet, and walked a few steps behind him.
"Don't walk behind me, honey," Brian said, stopping his steps, turning to Anna, and grabbing her arm.
Anna complied.
With her petite and short body, Anna had a hard time matching her position with Brian who was striding wide.
Out of the fancy restaurant, Kevin was waiting.
"How?" Brian asked the man.
"Ready, sir."
"Okay," Brian said and Kevin nodded.
While on the other hand, Anna did not understand the meaning of the two people's conversation at all.
Entering the car, Brian leaned back in his chair, while Anna, the woman was very restless, all kinds of prejudices filled her head.
"Get some rest, honey."
"Because, after arriving later, you will probably be very busy," Brian said again without opening his eyelids at all.
"Where do you want to take me?" asked Anna very curiously.
Brian didn't answer, the man just stayed where he was. Seems very reluctant to speak.
Anna sighed tiredly, and then obeyed the man's words. Trying to relax her body as much as possible, though she was sure that her efforts would be in vain.
Silence reigned in the car again. Until a few tens of minutes later, Anna who was watching the road they were walking through from behind the window suddenly got up from her position.
The previously busy streets are now deserted, no more vehicles passing by, not a single one. Looking to the left and right of the road, there are large white houses that appear to be lined up on the left and right sides of the road. There was no sign of life at all, quiet and desolate, a stark contrast to the bustling atmosphere of a very busy city. Anna did not know, since when the car she was traveling in entered such an area.
The car went even further.
Anna's brow furrowed faintly when her gaze caught the vehicles that lined up neatly on the side of the road, filling the left and right sides of the road, and all of them were cars that Anna knew the price might be in the hundreds of billions or even trillions, and this was the first time she had seen it. Anna's curiosity continued when she found several groups of people complete with black tuxedos gathered to form certain groups.
"B-Brian…where are we?" stammered Anna, feeling a little scared.
Hearing Anna's question, Brian just opened his eyes and glanced around then closed his eyes again.
"We'll be there in a minute, honey," the man said.
"Why are there so many people here?"
"Did something happen?" Anna muttered to herself.
Brian heard all that, it's just that he chose to remain silent.
Entering a large gate that was already wide open, everyone who saw the car that Anna was riding in immediately stopped their activities for a moment and bowed, paying respects.
"What's with all of them?" She asked.
Then, when she turned her gaze to the front, the woman's body instantly froze.
At this time they were entering the courtyard of a magnificent mansion with white nuances, on the left and right sides to be precise on a very wide courtyard stretched a green carpet with chairs and tables neatly arranged and lined up on it.
Not only that, several wedding knick-knacks filled as far as the eye could see, various types of dishes and drinks seemed to fill several tables.
There is a wedding altar filled with a peach-colored chiffon scarf combined with white accompanied by a series of matching roses and also several small lanterns, it looks so sweet and elegant standing in the middle of the courtyard that has been surrounded by. All people were bowing to the car she was riding.
"W-what's going on here? Who's getting married? And why brought me here Brian?" Anna stuttered, her brain working fast.
"Even without me answering, you already know the answer, honey," Brian replied in his trademark deep voice, slowly opening his eyelids.
The black limousine stopped, some people immediately opened the door from the outside while others bowed their heads.
"Welcome, sir."
"Erm."
"Take this woman to Elena, tell her to finish it in thirty minutes," Brian ordered.
"Yes, sir," replied the man.
"This is the clothes that must be worn by Miss," said Kevin, handing a tote bag to the man.
"Okay."
"Miss, please come with me," said the man to Anna.
Anna froze.
"Follow him, honey.. Don't disobey," Brian said again to Anna.
