Unexpected Love: One Night With Mr CEO

Chapter 91 - 91. A Threat

"I'm sure you're tired of taking care of Dave all day. Sit back down, or better get some sleep. I can do it later," Anna replied.

"But…"

"Well, don't worry about me. These bruises won't kill me, Naila," Anna interrupted, laughing lightly.

Naila chuckled, "Okay. Then you should also rest," Naila replied and Anna nodded immediately.

The two of them then returned to their respective rooms.

Even though Anna's response seemed fine in front of Naila, to be honest, in her heart she couldn't calm down. Somehow Anna felt that the package and bouquet Brian had sent was nothing more than a warning to her.

She was very afraid. Afraid that he might hurt her again, or even harm Dave. The feeling terrorized her, making Anna even more restless and having trouble sleeping.

The ringing of the cellphone in the morning became a voice in Anna's room. She had just closed her eyes a few minutes ago and was now awake again. Grabs a cell phone and answers an incoming call without seeing who called her this early.

"Hello…"

"Hello, sorry I just read your message, where are you now?"

Hearing a voice from the other end, Anna checked who was calling her at this time.

"Nicho..." Anna said in a hoarse voice typical of waking up.

"Am I bothering you?"

"No, I just woke up."

"Where are you now?"

"At home, Nicho."

"Thank God, I was worried when I saw your message. Sorry, I just checked my cellphone," said Nicho from the other side, making Anna frown.

"Message?"

"Yes. It seems you are still very sleepy."

"I'll call you back later."

Anna wanted to reply to Nicho's words and the call was disconnected.

Today is Sunday, Devan asked her to rest at home on her way home from the hospital yesterday afternoon.

Glancing at the clock hanging on the wall, it was already six in the morning. Dave who was next to her was still fast asleep.

Anna was still sleepy, even so, she tried to get up and clean the house then make breakfast for Naila and Dave before they woke up.

After everything was done, she decided to shop for groceries that had run out. Today she is free.

Coming out of the house, she found the same bouquet again lying in front of the door, making her go back inside and close the door tightly. Though she had forgotten the man, even if only for a moment.

The cell phone in her bag suddenly rang, startling her.

Not an incoming call but a text message.

Anna opened the contents of the message, and the next second the phone in her hand fell.

Brian sent her a threatening message. She was going to hurt Dave if she didn't get out soon. With a feeling of hesitation, Anna peeked at the gap in the door that she had just left a little open, it turned out that in front of it, a black car was parked in front of the gate. And it succeeded in making her hands tremble, her face turned pale.

Immediately Anna closed the door again and locked it tightly.

An incoming message suddenly appeared on the screen of her cellphone making her even more scared. She quickly turned off her cell phone like yesterday.

"Why is your expression like that?" Naila suddenly appeared from the side.

"Ah, n-no."

"Someone outside?" Naila asked wanting to peek through the window.

"Don't do it" Anna stopped as she grabbed the girl's wrist, making her wince.

"Ah, sorry," she said, loosening her grip again.

"What is it?"

"N-nothing. Ah, I made breakfast for you and Dave," Anna pulled Naila's hand into the kitchen, trying to distract her as much as possible.

"You always make breakfast for me Anna. Even though I'm just a babysitter in this house. You're too much. I feel so bad," said Naila.

"Alright, you sit down first and have breakfast," Anna said as she sat the girl on the chair.

"Let me take care of Dave," she added, wanting to go to the second floor.

"Wait!" said Naila.

Anna turned.

"Your leg hurts?" Naila asked when she saw Anna's abnormal way of walking.

"Erm, only a little. It will be fine soon," replied Anna and quickly walked away from there, apart from wanting to avoid Naila's question, she also didn't want the girl to suspect her because of her shaking hands, even though she had tried to hide it, she still wasn't sure that Naila wouldn't see it.

Entering the room, Dave was still asleep. Anna approached her son and kissed him lovingly. The only thing that cheered him up and kept him going right now was that kid.

"I won't let anyone hurt you, honey. Even though my life is at stake," Anna muttered, rubbing Dave's forehead gently.

Walking to the side of the window, Anna wiped the curtains and peeked at the gate. The black car she saw earlier was still parked there, not moving an inch.

Even though the house was locked tightly, but she was still very worried. Waited for almost an hour, slowly the black car began to move and move away, instantly Anna collapsed to the floor, slumped weakly powerless.

Heaved a sigh of relief. Maybe today she would escape Brian, but she did not know the days to come. She could only hope that after this, she would never be met with that bastard.

Knock...knock...knock...

"Wait," Anna got up and immediately opened the door.

"Why, Naila?" Anna asked when she saw the figure standing right in front of her.

"I forgot to tell you earlier when Dave's milk runs out. I also called you yesterday, but your number is always out of reach," Naila answered at length.

"runs out?" because she was too busy, she forgot to check Dave's milk every day.

Naila nodded.

"Today let's go shopping. I'm free, coincidentally we need some food or groceries in the kitchen. Wait until Dave wakes up, then we'll go." said Anna,

"Okay," replied Naila then glanced at the boy who still hadn't woken up.

"I feel sorry for Dave, Anna. Every night he always pushes himself, holding back his sleep just to wait for you, and ends up falling asleep on the couch. Can't you come home a little earlier than usual?" Naila took a deep breath.

"Okay, I'll try to get home sooner in the days to come," Anna replied, though she wasn't sure she could because Brian could show up at any moment.

Until noon, Anna, Dave, and Naila walked hand in hand into a fairly large shopping center. The atmosphere inside is very crowded, maybe because today is Sunday?

"You want to buy something?" asked Anna turning to Naila.

"No," said Naila, shaking her head.

"If you need anything, just tell me."

Naila just nodded. While Dave who was among them seemed busy paying attention to everything they were going past.

It took several tens of minutes, finally, all the things Anna needed had filled the cart.

Don't be surprised why she who only works as a cleaning service can shop that much. Almost every week Nicho sends money, even though she has refused but the man still insists on her.

And after she considered it, Anna finally accepted it, on one condition.. That after she got her first paycheck, that guy would stop sending her money.
