Anna's POV:

Nanny promised me but Why did she say to Mark?

Does she tell Mark voluntarily, or Mark asked her about it?

Did really Nanny said everything...

Better I should not spill out until Mark asked me about the bracelet robbery or about the money his uncle offered...

But I feel very sad when Mark thinks that his uncle may apart us...

I understand his pain, and I know how much loneliness he feels all these two years, and I already promised him that I don't leave him alone at any circumstances...

I immediately went and hugged him and said the same...

Anna: Mark...

Listen to me...

I don't leave you alone...

Is that clear..?

Mark: Hmmm...

Anna: I just want him to be like your old caring uncle, and I think he will be our guardian because we both lost our parents, and he is the only one we left, so I tried to speak to him...

That's it, Mark...

Mark: Yes, Anna...

But see, he didn't understand you, instead he hurt you...

Anna: No, Mark...

There must be some reason behind his acts, and I am sure he still cares you like before; that's the reason he targets me...

And I am sure soon he will understand our genuine love, and he will be our guardian...

Mark: I don't care, Anna...

And I don't allow him to speak one more word against you...

That's final...

Anna: Mark...

(I stopped to convince him...

I understand Mark didn't know about the bracelet and money offering because if Mark knows it, he will definitely lead to his uncle's room and make him get out of his house...

And never in his life, his uncle will see us and the hostility on me will increase...

But as of now, I better ask Nanny what she said to Mark...

I loosened my hug and looked at him...

He immediately takes the towel and wrapped around me and rubbing my wet hair...

Mark: you are shivering with cold...

Change your clothes first...

(I really feel cold and hold the towel tightly around me...)

Anna: ok, Mark...

I will go to my room and change to dry clothes...

Mark: you didn't shift your luggage?

Anna: Not yet...

But soon, I will...

Mark: I will tell to Nanny to help you for shifting your luggage...

Anna: No, Mark...

It's ok...

It's just a matter of a bag of language...

That's it, and I am staying in your room, so it's not a big deal with the luggage...

Mark: Yeah, but I love to see when you are changing your clothes...

(I immediately looked at him in a serious note...

Here comes again his teasing, and he laughed immediately by looking at me...)

Anna: ok then,

Take care of Alex...

I will bring his clothes after I changed my dress...

Mark: ok...

(By finishing our discussion, I immediately led to my room and changed my clothes as early as possible and hold Alex's clothes and immediately lead to the dining hall to ask Nanny about what she might be told to Mark...

And I feel relieved after hearing what she said because Mark knew nothing about his uncle acts on me...

So I again lead to Mark's room...

When I entered the room, I heard Alex laugh, and I looked at him...

Mark is tickling him, and he is rolling in the bed while laughing...

I smile by looking at them, and Mark stops his play and looks at me by lying beside Alex...

Mark: Anna...

Would you like to join our game?

Alex: Yes, sis...

Come...

Let's play the game...

( By finishing his words Alex stands on the bed with excitement, and I am shocked by looking at him...

He wears Mark's t-shirt, and it comes near to his feet, and I can't see his hands over the t-shirt...

He looks like a mini zombie...

I immediately laughed at him by looking at his outfit and went near to him to give his dress...

Alex: I like this dress, Anna sis...

Anna: You like this loose t-shirt?

Alex: Yes...

Anna: It's not a correct fit for you, Alex…

Change to your clothes...

Alex: No, I don't change...

I like this...

Anna: Alex, listen to me...

Mark: it's ok, Anna...

Let him be in this t-shirt...

He really looks cute in it...

Isn't it?

(I agree with Mark, he really looks cute in it...

So I didn't force him to change his clothes and sit beside them...)

Alex: Let's start the game…

Anna: Tell me which game you are playing?

Mark: Tickling game...

Anna: What?

Alex: Anna sis...

You should not laugh when we are tickling you...

If you laugh, you lose the game...

(I immediately looked at Mark for his stupid game Idea, and I know I will definitely lose the game if Mark tickles me and I am sure Mark doesn't have tickling senses...)

Mark: come on, Anna...

It's just a game...

Anna: ok, but it should be in a clockwise direction..

Mark: What..?

(I immediately went and sit on Alex's right side and on my right side is Mark and on Mark's right side, Alex is there. And it forms a small round.)

Anna: Now, the game starts in a clockwise direction. Alex tries to tickle me, and I try to tickle Mark and Mark you try on Alex...

That's it...

(Mark looked at me with his narrowed eyes and understood he never got a chance to tickle me and it's easy for me to win over Alex, and my target is to make Mark laugh...

Alex and Mark agreed, and I sit confidently, and in 30 seconds, we should make the others laugh...

I started the timer, and in just 5 seconds, Mark make Alex laugh by tickling on his waist...
