Chapter 172 - 172: Anna's Request

Eyes like a scanner, Evan looked around the garden. Ken and Glen were busy setting up the round table and chairs while Matthew and Selena were setting up the flowers.

It's been two days since he went to the cave and dug the gold from the mine and now that the ring is ready, he can finally propose.

Hands on his h.i.p.s, Evan took a deep sigh.

"Matthew, what happened to the flowers? Why are they withered?" His brows were deeply creased as he stared at the flowers in the vase, "and why did you put them in the vase? Daniella prefers them alive."

Matthew froze, he's standing next to Ken who was fixing the cloth of the table.

"I am not your maid Evan, stop shouting at me!" he yelled in anger, his face has reddened like a tomato while his hands were clenching the vase he was holding.

Evan rubbed the s.p.a.ce between his brows and sighed, "if you want to stop scrubbing the toilet of the company, do this right!" he yelled back. He didn't know why but somehow he felt edgy, a tingly feeling was lurking in his stomach, one would think of it as b.u.t.terflies but he doubted it.

Matthew laughed in disbelief, "hey Evan, you should be breaking up with that mushroom instead of proposing!" he laid the vase onto the table and crossed his arms over, "you are turning into her and I can't even imagine your future kids. I mean small Daniellas' running around the house," he shook his head, "I can imagine this villa exploding, burning or worse, turning into a zoo. I am out of here!" he marched out of the garden with hands in the air.

Evan kept calling Matthew's name but the man didn't stop, instead, he started to run away like he's being chased by a bull.

Ken's face was flat and emotionless. Rubbing his palms together he turned to Evan.

"Hey, I am done."

Evan rose a brow and looked at the table. Glen almost did everything to set up the garden while Ken only did put the cloth on the table.

"Are you tired?" he asked with sarcasm.

Ken shrugged his shoulders, "well I was a bit exhausted but you're my friend so," he breathed out and looked around.

"Ahuh!" Evan nodded once, "good I only asked you to put the cover on, if I asked you to do more, I'm afraid it would kill you."

Ken smiled in response to Evan's sarcasm, he knew very well what he was trying to say but he didn't care. He has a company to handle and a bar to manage.

"Are you sure about marrying this woman?" he walked closer to Evan and stood next to him.

Evan nodded, a wide smile on his lips as the face of Daniella flashed in his mind.

"Up to you, but just so you know there are women out there who're taller than her."

Evan's smile disappeared, "but she's the prettiest."

Ken gave him a half shrug his face screwed in disagreement, "my dog is prettier than her."

"You don't have a dog, Ken," he replied flatly.

Ken looked at him, "I will get a dog and she'll be prettier than your girlfriend."

Evan was stunned, instead of replying, he walked away and decided to help Glen.

The smile on Daniella's lips could not be removed. Sitting opposite of Anna in the café, she felt energetic and alive.

She's been a fan of Anna since she escaped the bas.e.m.e.nt. Her beauty, smile, and charm were somethings she always wanted to have.

The reason why she had her hair bleached was Anna. When she was living at the orphanage, after James stopped her from killing herself, she always imitated Anna.

When she was alone in the room, she would imitate how the woman walks, talks and smiles.

She had never tried to set up a meeting with her, mostly because she didn't want to know the real Anna by reading her mind. Anna will always be the sweet model she's been idolizing since she's a teenager, even her twin brother has a crush on Anna as well when he was alive.

And now sitting opposite her, looking into her eyes, Daniella realized that Anna was just like her.

An ambitious yet pure woman.

Anna's family has a connection in the country, it's the reason why no one has ever lay a hand on her.

Daniella picked up her coffee mug and took a sip of her caramel macchiato, even her coffee type was the same as Anna. It was as if they were friends matched by fate.

"So, Daniella, what do you do?" Anna asked as she stared at the fairy-like woman in front of her.

She has never seen her, but she had heard stories from her sister Maddie that Selena's babysitter was a beauty.

And her sister was right, even herself, which has been named as the most beautiful woman in the country was mesmerized at Daniella's face.

Her round eyes were so hard to let go, and her irises were green like the color of a newborn frog, they were shining innocently.

Daniella lowered the mug and smiled, "I am a doctor but I also have a lawyer license so if ever you need help, don't hesitate to contact me," saying that, Daniella took a tissue from the table and wrote down her number using her lipstick.

"I don't have a business card but you can call my personal number."

Anna blinked, she accepted the tissue and shoved it in her bag, "I will do that."

Like a small excited kid, Daniella nodded her head, "so Anna, do you have a boyfriend?"

Anna was taken aback by Daniella's question. She had gone to some dates but none of it was serious.

Her smile turned awkward, "I-" she started to stutter, so she cleared her throat and took a sip of her coffee, "right now, I don't have one "

Daniella nodded, "if you like a guy, just tell me his name and I will investigate him to make sure that he likes you and will not cheat on you."

"Really?" Anna asked in doubt.

"Yeah, don't worry. I know how to extract information from people," Daniella winked at her, "give me a name and I will check him, I can even make him fall in love with you as long as he doesn't have a stone heart."

Curiosity arose in Anna's mind as she heard that, she leaned forward to the table and rested both hands on her laps.

"there's a man I really like, well he's my first love maybe you can check if he likes me or at least remembers me."

Daniella narrowed her eyes, she tried to stare at Anna's eyes to see who the man was.

Before she could even start to dig for information, Anna has parted her lips and said the name of the man she's crushing on.

"He's my schoolmate before, his name is Ken Chu."

'f*ck' Daniella cursed in her mind as she confirmed that the man in Anna's memory was really the Ken Chu she had in her mind.
