Anna passed him a serious glare but in return, he laughed at her reaction to his words. “Do you seriously think I will get married to you?” Anna asked.

“Why not? Don’t we know each other for quite some time? Also, we have a dear daughter to raise and I would like to meet her once again.” This time, when Kiara’s name was brought up, Anna’s face lit up with a smile.

“She would be happy to meet you but..” anna paused. She remembered the scandals he has been involved in the past one week.

Not only Olivia but other actresses as well as businesswomen. She knew that this might be the trick of his enemies to tarnish his reputation and also name him as the womanizer.

But she can’t help with this. It hurts her as well because he..is the father of her child and also, does she have feelings for him now also?

She has no idea but for some reason, it tugs her heart a lot whenever she reads that he is once again involved in any scandal and most importantly, he makes no effort to clear them.

Isn’t that sign of reality?

“Kiara and you can meet but at a secret place. I don’t want the paparazzi that is following you as always to recognize my Kiara.” She was stern in her command.

But on the other hand, this made Alex frown. She was acting as a protective mother and he knows very well that she is one. But all of a sudden, she is bringing up paparazzi?

“Anna, you know that I will not let anything happen to our daughter.”

“You are her father and fathers are supposed to protect their daughters. So I hope the same from you but I can’t say the same for the flings that you have had in the past, Mr. Alex Steve.”

Flings? Which flings is she talking about? Alex was totally clueless because until now, he has not been involved with anyone.

Since everything happened in the past, first he laid in the hospital, and then slowly and slowly, he came back to prove his innocence.

‘She is still misjudging me. Oh god, when will she start asking me things straightforwardly?’ He sighed internally at this assumption.

Rubbing his temples, he replied back to her, “Anna, I know that you think about me something else and I don’t even intend to correct you on this but please, before making any assumption, ask me first and let me clarify instead of your overthinking.”

Saying this as his last words, he made his way out to where his car was parked, exiting the church while Anna stood there in a daze.

She looked at his left-back and felt immense emotions. They were in church, and still, they fought. Till when can they live like this?

“Child, fights are normal in a relationship.” Suddenly this voice of the priest was heard when she turned around to see him standing.

‘He might have heard everything that we talked about. That is so embarrassing.’ She knew that she might sound petty but it is what it is.

“Father, I know that fights happen but seeing him with someone else hurts me a lot.” Anna was honest. Standing in the church, there was no point in lying when the priest might have already seen through her actions.

“Love has many factors. It has jealousy, insecurity, fights, and many other things. But it is on the couple who decides to solve it. Child, in the place of God, we find the matches and as the father of the church, I will only say that, do not lose a guy because of misunderstanding.”

Priest’s words made sense to her but she was afraid. Afraid of being hurt once again in this lifetime and putting someone’s life in danger, which is the last thing.

Seeing her downcast face, father once again spoke, “Sometimes ego is the resulting breaking of the relationship. You are in love but you aren’t ready to accept because of the blindness. Do not regret your decisions, my child.” Saying this, the priest left Anna in a daze because she can’t understand her own feelings.

She was mixed in her own emotions because it felt like no one was ready to understand what she actually felt.

If there was hate then there was love as well. But why will she hate him anymore when everything is clear?

‘Am I the one who is building up the boundaries around me so that no one will be able to approach me?’ Anna just released this and found the problem.

In the end, she went to her car and drove back to her home, to find Kiara sitting in the living room with her mother.

Both of them were smiling, and she saw how Kiara giggled. After meeting Alex, she’s just giggling and never stopped laughing. It was like she found her own family.

“Kiara, mommy is back,” Anna spoke to divert her attention towards her, and when Kiara saw Anna coming back, her eyes lit up. Jumping from the couch, she went to her mother and hugged her mother tightly from her leg.

“You are late today. Is everything alright, mommy?” Kiara asked in a soft tone and a bright smile came over Anna’s face as well.

Picking her up in her embrace, she replied back, “I was with Alena. She needed my help in something and now that is one, I’m back home.”

“Oh, I thought that you were with Alex uncle.” hearing this name once again, Anna’s smile froze. Suddenly, she can see the change in her daughter after meeting Alex.

‘What they even talked about that she is asking about Alex, whom she met just for few hours?’ Anna can’t help but think.

“Yes Anna, I thought that you were with him instead of Alena. You know, Kiara asked me tons of questions that she would like to meet Alex once again.” This time, Marrie spoke and Anna looked at Kiara with a serious expression.

“Do you wish to meet him once again?”
