In the next days, a report came at Damon’s table. The contents were about how the Davids’s were willing to cooperate.
Damon looked satisfyingly at the document and handed out his approval and orders. So not long, the Davidss was transferred in a new city.
The industry and high society were shocked by the news. The Davids family was a prominent family, but everyone marveled how they are nothing when faced with the powerful and rich Castellanos. In just a flick of his hand, the president of Castellanos group of companies was able to chase out a prominent family from the capital.
The noble families had pondered what did the Davidss do to offend the Castellanos, but they were not been able to get anything. But they one thing in their mind, that is to watch their steps and never offend the boss of the Castellanos.
After all of this was done, Damon was in an extremely good mood. He had finally got rid of Andrei. Although he had more plans to make him pay, he was more at ease now that he couldn’t reach Anya.
Damon was very satisfied with the situation and wanted to unwind. The past days, he was so busy oppressing the Davidss and arranging works, so he wanted to be at ease today. He decided to call Anya.
After a few rings, it was picked up.
“Damon,” Anya greeted. Damon couldn’t help but take note the change of her greeting to him, and his smile grew more at the sides of his lips.
“How’s your day?” Damon asked gently as he leaned his chair. He loosened his neck tie as he listened to Anya’s soft voice over the phone.
“I’m fine. We just finished the busy week so there are not much work to do,” Anya shared as she had a smile on her lips. Damon had been calling her frequently the past days, and she find this gesture warming. This was the first time someone was so attentive of her, and she can’t help but feel butterflies in her tummies.
Damon heard Anya’s words and his eyes brightened. It was just perfect for his plans. “Want to have lunch together. I can, bring Allen with us.” Cal invited.
Anya was taken a back. The two of them were taking their relationship slow, and they haven’t discussed their situation yet. But Anya did miss her son, and she wanted to eat with them too. So she smiled and gladly agreed.
“I would love too,”
Damon’s smiled deepened when he heard this.
“Alright, we’ll pick you up after a moment,” He said with an ease voice.
Anya acquiesced and the two hanged up the phone. She then started to fix her things and inform her assistant. She then let them go to have their lunch as well.
Not long after the two left, a familiar black luxurious car stopped in front of her studio. Anya smiled as she went outside to close the studio.
Damon went out of the car to open the car door for Anya. Inside, Allen was seated in a child seat and was waving happily at Anya.
“Mommy!” The child called. Anya saw him and her heart immediately felt sweet. She turned to Damon who was assisting her inside and smiled at him.
When they entered, the car drove towards the restaurant where Damon already made prior arrangement.
When they arrived, they saw a clean and elegant restaurant. The surroundings were full of plants, and there are seats outside and inside the building. The atmosphere felt fresh and calm. Anya immediately liked it.
Damon led them to the table he had already reserved, and the three of them sat down. He handed Anya the menu.
“What do you want to add? I already pre ordered are food, if you have something you fancy, just tell.” He said with smile. Anya looked at the menu and saw what he ordered and the other dishes offered by the restaurant. She saw the food Damon ordered were her favorites, and some were food for children. She thought the food was perfect and was even more than enough for the three of them.
“I like everything. I don’t need to order,” Anya said and returned the menu. she felt sweet inside by Damon’s gesture and she was already content.
Damon acquiesced with her words and ordered the food to be served. They soon started eating and Anya would feed Allen from time to time. The child was also very happy with this.
The three were very much like a warm family.
Unbeknownst to them, someone was seething with anger inside as she stared at the familial act of theirs.
Veronica gritted her teeth as she stared Damon and Anya, but she had no choice to swallow it down. She turned towards Amanda who she invited to this restaurant out of alibi.
“Look who’s here,” Veronica started at her and she pointed to Amanda Damon’s table.
Veronica continued to act close to Amanda like a mother and law, and was trying hard to rip Damon and Anya apart. Just like now, she got hold of the family’s plan, so she invited Amanda to eat at the same restaurant.
But she didn’t expect she would be sick looking at the three. They act so familiar to each other it can bring tears to other people’s eyes. Sarcastically.
Amanda turned towards where Veronica was pointing and saw her son and grandson together with Anya, having a meal.
She was surprised. Amanda was still conflicted about her feelings for the family. Although she wanted to give a happy family to Allen, but as a diva and high society woman, she still can’t accept a woman like Anya. Plus, she was a divorcee. Therefore, she can’t help but feel bittersweet about their arrangement and can’t say if she could really support them.
Veronica saw Amanda’s expression that was conflicted instead of contempt. Her previous assumption that Anya might gained Amanda’s sympathy looks like to be true. Veronica was very dissatisfied inside. The hands hidden in her laps clenched.
Back on the family’s table, Anya was wiping Allen’s mouth. The innocent gaze of the child was staring at her face, and Anya can’t help but smile helplessly.
“What is it baby? You seem like you have something to say?” She asked as she pinched his cheeks.
Allen lowered his head with a pout and then looked up at Anya.
“Nanny and grandma said, Allen call you aunt, no mommy,” The child said in his baby talk.
Anya and Damon froze when they heard this.
“You not mommy, nanny says,” Allen said sadly and looked up at Anya.
Damon’s eyes darkened when he heard this. Why doesn’t he know of this?
While Anya could only blink her eyes. She couldn’t find anything to say. She stared at the innocent face of her son, and was ashamed. What could she say to him?
The boy had already gotten so close to Anya. His childlike mind could only understand so little, that’s why when he was told that Anya was not his mommy, he could only express his dissatisfaction.
There wasn’t really a clarification between the mother and son’s relationship, but maybe it was true that the feelings of a mother towards her children was connected. Their flesh and blood were hers, and was nurtured inside by this very same woman.
Allen, who first saw Anya, immediately drawn towards her, and believed he was his mother.
Allen continued to stare at Anya, and later tugged at her dress. His eyes looked pitifully at her, almost begging.
“I like mommy. Can you be my Mommy?”
