Anya wanted her days to be happy especially now that Damon and her is officially in a relationship. But Andrei just won’t leave her alone. Just like now.
Her phone was continuously ringing, but Anya doesn’t have a plan to pick it up.
After the call, a message came in.
‘Have dinner with me. If you don’t, I will send these pictures out.’
Anya scoffed at his shameless. It was already dismissal, so she contacted Damon. He said he was already on his way here.
When Damon arrived, Anya showed him Andrei message. Damon disdainfully reacted to this. He then picked up his phone and contacted someone.
Damon told this event to Alex. He asked about the update of their actions. They are already half way of wiring Andrei devices, but as safety measurement, they blocked his address in posting something online. A water and IT army were also prepared incase something did appear. They will immediately terminate those sites and data.
When Damon heard this, he was satisfied. After exchanging a few more word with Alex, he hanged up the phone and turned to Anya.
“Don’t worry. I have this covered.” Damon assured her.
Anya was at ease. She was not that afraid of this. She was contented that Damon’s attitude about this was not negative. It was fine as long as the people she cares understands her.
Damon assured her once again and then invited her to dinner. He was thinking Anya would be anxious and depress about this, so he wanted to distract her and lighten up her mood.
He opened the door for Anya when they arrived at the restaurant. It was a fancy and elegant restaurant, but it was not lavish. The people were formal but not blinding. Overall, the place has a warm atmosphere.
This little gesture warmed Anya’s heart. She was not very comfortable dining in a very luxurious restaurant where the rich guests would look down at normal people. Damon probably knew that so he brought her to a elegant but still comfortable place.
Damon led her to a private room. It looks like he already reserved for a place beforehand.
He opened the door for her and a slightly dimmed room welcomed Anya. A classical music was playing in the background and a candle light was situated at the table in the center of the room. A wall to ceiling glass wall separated the place from the outside. And from the glass, the picturesque view of the city lights overlooked the place.
It was breathtaking that Anya stood still on her place. Damon saw this and led her to the table by her waist.
On the table, there was a big bouquet of her favorite flower wrapped beautiful. Damon took it and handed it to Anya.
“For you.” He said simply but there was a slight smile and loving gaze in his eyes. Anya was taken aback by all of this.
“This..” She said speechlessly as she took the bouquet in her arms.
Damon knew what Anya was thinking just by looking at her stunned expression.
“This is our first official date. I wanted it to be special.” He explained curtly. He went around Anya’s seat and dragged it for her.
Anya admired the gentleman more. He didn’t know how nice this gesture is, but Anya appreciated it greatly.
She smiled softly as she sat on the seat. Damon then turned to his own seat and sat. he poured some wine in their glass and motioned it to Anya.
“The food here are clean and delicious. I personally recommend it.” He introduced as he gave a signal to the waiters to bring the food over.
When the food was presented, Anya saw it was all her favorites. Pasta, beef, some salads, and seafoods. Her eyes brightened and looked towards Damon.
Damon chuckled at seeing her face.
“Eat comfortably, it is only us in the room.” He said with gentle eyes as he personally put food on Anya’s plate.
She didn’t she would feel so much emotions and happiness in this date of theirs. Damon was so attentive of her that she didn’t know she was looking for this.
In the past, when she was still with the Davidss, the fancy restaurants she went to was not few. But that was when she knew she wasn’t comfortable with the place. The place were luxurious and elegant, but it was just on the surface. In dining in these kinds of restaurants, you need to keep face. So one could only order elegant food. Steak was a common, but Anya always thought it was bland.
Now she was dining in such a beautiful place and with food that she loves, these little things were enough to create new and happy memories.
The two ate happily and fulfillingly. It was time for desserts and the two of them sat sipping their wine and appreciating the view. They also talked about each other’s day.
When the two were absorbed in talks and laughs, Damon’s phone rang. It was Allen’s nanny.
He looked at the time and saw it was still nine in the evening. He planned to go home not too late so that they could go to their son if it was possible,
What seems to be the matter now? -Damon thought.
He excused to Anya for a while as he answered the phone.
“Yes?” He said to the other line. What responded to him was a panicking voice.
“Master, the little master is sick. We are at the hospital right now.” The nanny responded.
“What?” Damon was startled as he looked at Anya.
Anya saw the troubled expression of Damon and leaned towards him, also worried. “Alright, we’re on our way.” Damon said to the other line as he hanged up.
“Allen was rushed at the hospital. He’s sick.” Damon reported to Anya.
Anya felt her heart sank as she heard this. She immediately stood in panic.
“Calm down. Let’s go to the hospital first.” Damon tried to appease Anya as he took his hand and went outside.
Anya followed with her heart almost in her throat.
The two rushed to the hospital. When they arrived, they saw the nanny and Amanda talking with a doctor.
Amanda saw the woman who was with her son and her expression immediately tightened.
While Damon directly asked the doctor,
“Doctor, how’s the child?” He asked worriedly. He was still holding Anya’s hand and he felt the other’s cold.
The doctor smiled assuredly at the people.
“The child has a fever but he was immediately rushed here so there is no danger. It is because of his teething so there is nothing to worry about. He just needs to recover in the hospital for a couple of days to be observed.” He explained to the people in detail.
The family as well as the nanny then sighed in relieve. Damon thanked the doctor as he left.
When the doctor exited, Amanda then faced the two. “What is she doing here?” She asked sternly.
Damon immediately tightened his hold to Anya.
“She’s here for our son.” Damon said resolutely. He hadn’t properly explained it to his mother yet, but he chose to still let Anya stay here right now. She had the right to do so.
Amanda heard this and she scoffed.
“Now you want her to act as mother now? No. I won’t let that woman near my grandson.” Amanda said in a strict and vile voice.
Anya perfectly knew that look and tone. She had experience it half her life. So she knew Damon’s mother hated her by now.
She tugged at Damon’s hand.
“It’s fine. I’ll just go home first. Let’s keep in touch about Mon’s condition?” She whispered to Damon. She doesn’t want to create a conflict right now. She understands the situation and her presence is not welcomed here. Anyway, it was enough for her to know that her son was safe. It’s all that matters.
Damon heard the soft whispers of Anya and tightened his hold to her hand more.
“No.” He said with conviction. He turned to his mother and revealed the truth without second thoughts.
“Anya is Allen’s mother. She has the right to stay here.” Damon’s firm voice rang in the wide corridor.
