Chapter 64
After the discussion, Anika bid farewell to Scott and left the office.
She took the keys to the company car and drove away.
At this time, not many people came to the prison.
She sat in front of the glass in the cubicle.
After a few minutes, Georgia, who was wearing a prison uniform, was brought over by the prison guards.
She was still dressed like an exquisite lady a few months ago, but now she was haggard and in a miserable state.
Georgia was naturally put in jail because Zac did something in secret, still she deserved it.
She had taken Grayson's safe password and the LW project materials back then.
But even after she was imprisoned, she refused to reveal who was behind it.
"I heard you want to see me?" Anika asked.
She came over since Georgia offered to visit her and asked someone to locate her.
Sheena knew Georgia well, so she calculated her ideas till they weren't too terrible.
Knowing there's a time limit to visiting, Georgia paused and said straightforwardly, "The Burks Family wants to send Callum to his grandmother.If you adopt him, I will tell the police what they want to know”
She had already been imprisoned, but they still wanted to negotiate terms.
Anika smiled and refused, "That's impossible.Zac will not accept Callum, but I can send him to his aunt."
"You want to send him abroad?" Georgia frowned.
Anika gave a little response.
‘Sending Callum abroad meant a thousand miles away.He couldn't visit again’ Georgia thought which made her naturally unwilling.
Therefore, she tried to convince Anika, "Zac hasn't even had a woman around all these years.Don't you know? Callum is young and obedient.You can ...treat him as your own child.’
"What exactly are you trying to say?"
Anika gave her a grimace and stared at her.
This was the second time Georgia had hinted at her like this.
Georgia breathed a sigh of relief, "I heard that Zac had a girl he liked when he was a teenager.However, that was a long time ago, and it may be his own fault why they split up.
She then chuckled, "Grayson doesn't want another child for his precious son.I wonder if he will regret it.I have married him for so many years.But ever since he married me, he only wanted me to be his son's babysitter"
Anika was taken aback when she heard this.
She didn't know if the girl she was talking about was Zac's so-called first love.
After lowering her eyes for a few moments, she frowned and asked, "Callum, whose child is he?"
‘If Zac's father didn't want to have another child, then how did Callum get here?’ She wondered.
"Callum is Grayson’s biological flesh and blood.If you don't believe me, you can do a paternity test” Georgia said.
Anika knew that she must have used some other method to give birth to Callum.Grayson might not have been a good husband for Georgia, but she could also refuse a conditional marriage.
Since she accepted it, she should face her future life.
"If you want everything perfect and have Callum to visit you in prison everyday, then it's impossible.
"Therefore, you should also consider yourself and make plans to make your life be able to move forward"
After Sheena called, Anika checked on Zac's younger brother.
‘Callum is only six years old.I wonder if he has an awkward status in the Burks Family and is very introverted” She thought.
Georgia was guilty, but the child was always innocent.
Since Sheena wanted to adopt Callum, she had no objections.
Zac, on the other hand, was rather opposed to Georgia, and she was pregnant when they got divorced.
Thus, Zac had never seen his younger brother before.
She wanted Anika to adopt Callum, so that he could visit her regularly.
Anika asked for an afternoon off.
She took Callum home from his nanny after seeing Georgia.
Originally, she wanted the nanny to temporarily bring Callum to her previous apartment.
But the nanny hired by the Burks family was a little impatient, as if she was eager to get rid of Callum’s burden.
Thus, she could only bring him home first.
Callum wore a pair of light-colored braces and trousers.
He was somewhat fat, and his pair of black eyes were as round as grapes.
He said very few words.
He sat quietly on the sofa for two hours before he tangled his fingers and whispered the first sentence to Anika.
"Sister, will you still send me away?"
Although he was young, he was aware that the Burks family members disliked him and were not his relatives.
He'd been watching Anika for a long time and she didn't appear to have any bad will against him.
‘Moreover, she was very beautiful, and she was also very gentle when she talked to my nanny’ Callum couldn't help but be impressed by her.
Anika pursed her lower lip in response to his cautious stare, but she couldn't fool him.
She nodded and said, "Yes."
"In the future, you will live with your aunt.She will treat you well.Don't worry." She added.
Anika had lived in the orphanage for a long time, and she really did not have much resistance to the children.
Perhaps because she looked gentle, the younger children always clung to her.
The first time she saw Callum, she knew that he was a simple child.
Meanwhile, Georgia was unsure if it was a good idea to develop his personality.
Callum seemed to be disappointed after hearing Anika's words.
He lowered his long eyelashes and softly replied, "Oh”
Then later on, the sound of the door opening could be heard.Zac's figure appeared at the front door.
Anika sent him a message in advance, saying that she was busy this afternoon and did not ask him to pick her up from work.
When she had an arrangement with someone to go shopping in the past, Zac was unconcerned and only instructed the driver to take the car back to the villa.
He took off his jacket and hung it at the corner of his arm.
He gently untied his tie and loosened his cold demeanor.
He walked leisurely up the stairs, ready to go back to his bedroom and change into his clothes before coming down.
However, he didn't continue moving and noticed that the atmosphere in the living room wasn't right.
He tilted his head and threw a casual stare at Callum’s frightened eyes.
The two stared at each other and the atmosphere froze for a few seconds.
Afterwards, the man frowned slightly and glanced at Anika, who was standing at the side.
"Oh, Anika, this is--"
"You brought me a son?"
