Anna's POV:

When he stopped the car, I understand we reached the home but still; I didn't open my eyes and acting that I am in a deep sleep...

He slowly makes my head rest on the seat headrest and get out of the car, opened my door and placed one of his hand on my cheek, and called my name only once to make me wake up...

I didn't respond to him intentionally and acted that I am in a deep sleep...

I want to know what he will do if I sleep in his car...

He tried to take my seat belt, and I can sense his hot breathing near my neck when he bends forward to take my seat belt...

It's tickled me a little, but I tried not to respond, and he successfully takes my seat belt and easily lifted me in bridal style...

I am eternally happy when he lifted me to don't disturb my sleep...

Without a second thought, I immediately wrapped my both hands on his neck and moved more close to him to hug him...

I can hear his chuckle...

Mark: "Ok, then, I am laying this sleeping beauty on my bed...

(What..?

On his bed..?

Does it mean he will take me to his bedroom..?

It embarrassed me before Nanny and all the other servants that I am sleeping with Mark in his bedroom before marriage...

No, no no...

I immediately opened my eyes and looked at his face...

He is smiling by looking at me and still walking by carrying me...

Anna: "Mark, I wake up, put me down..."

(And I tried to get down...

But he holds me more tight and looked at me with his sharp eyes...)

Mark: "I know you didn't sleep yet..."

(He said in his smiling face...

I understand he carries me even though he knows that I am awake and making drama...

I immediately hugged him again that I got caught red-handed in his trap...

He knows everything about me, and he always takes good care of me...

While I lay my head near to his heart by wrapping my hands around his neck, I can hear his heartbeat...

The sound gives me some fresh energy...

I don't know why I feel this way...

But a sudden voice distracted me...

"Hello, my son...

How are you..?"

I immediately turned my head to look at him...

He is a man near to '50s of his age, and I can sense he is shocked by looking at me...

Not exactly looking at me...

He is shocked by looking at Mark carrying me...

Even Mark looks surprised and shocked by looking at him...

And the man literally frozen in shock by looking at us, I immediately tried to get down from him...

But Mark holds me more tightly than before, and his face turned to very furious second by second by looking at that man...

I again tried to get down...

Mark immediately looked at me and said in a serious note...

Stay quiet..."

(I immediately stopped my trail and looked at Mark.

He is now looking at the man with his sharp eyes and didn't respond to him and lead me to my room...

I looked in between at the man when we are passing him...

He is looking at me with his narrowed eyes in a disgusting look...

I am really scared now and totally confused who might be he is...

And why he is looking at me in such a way like I am taking his bread slice...

Maybe the way Mark hold me makes him to feel disgusting, but why Mark didn't wish him, and he became more serious...

In between my confusion thoughts, Mark leads to my bedroom and makes me lay on my bed, and kissed me gently on my lips...

Out of curiosity, I asked him directly...

Anna: "Who is he, Mark..?"

Mark: "It's of no use to know about him, Anna...

Fresh up soon and come for dinner...

It's already late...

Have some food and then sleep...

Ok?"

(I nod my head as ok and he left the room with his serious face by thinking about the man...

I don't force him to tell who is that man...

Maybe Mark may have some bad past with him that's the reason he is angry on him...

But he called Mark as a son...

So he might be close relative...

Who will help me to know about him..?

I immediately take my phone to call Mona...

No..

She is in her personal trip with Tom...

I should not disturb them...

So who can help me other than Mona..?

Nanny...

Yes, Nanny will definitely know about him, and she will definitely tell me what might happen between Mark and that man...

So I hurriedly fresh up and went to meet Nanny at the kitchen before Mark, and that man visit...

Luckily I am on time and Nanny is alone in the kitchen and I can ask her freely...

Nanny: "Hello, Anna, beta...

How are you?"

How's your trip went..?

(I went close to her with a smiling face for her caring...)

Anna: Great Nanny...

The trip is really tremendous, and I have soo many sweet memories I can store for my life long...

Nanny: "That's very pleasure to here and 2 minutes beta, I will arrange dinner..."

Anna: "It's ok, Nanny...

I came here to ask you something..."

Nanny: "Sure beta..."

Anna: "Who is that man..?

And he called Mark as a son..."

(Nanny smiled a bit and started her explanation...

Nanny: "he is Mark's uncle..."

Anna: "Uncle..?"

Nanny: "Yes, beta..., He is own brother to Mark's mother…"
