《Anaya》Chapter 4
Advertisement
Everyone around them was shocked by the astonishing events. As far as the world knew the Alexander princess was never shown in public. So when the toddler answered back looking right into the Aloof Hugo brooks eyes who now had the cute angel in his arms, they couldn't help but gasp in surprise.
The Alexander family was not only superior to them in looks, But they were extremely intelligent as well. They all knew how accomplished the two boys were with studies and sports, but now it's the tiny princess who showed how advanced her mind is. If not how on earth could a baby just answer in such manner when she just learnt how to walk?
Hugo Brooks stood there dumbfounded as well. When last time he met with Callie was a year ago was when she was pregnant with the child in his arms right now.
He was delighted for her while Callie knew Hugo was hurting inside thinking about his deceased wife. Not only him, even Callie herself suffered due to her best friends untimely death. Yet she had Damien and her son to lessen her pain.
But for Hugo Brooks, he was all alone, although she begged him to come to visit them several times, the man disagreed regardless by saying that he did not want to be a burden. Every month passed by, made the man colder and heartless to the point everyone around him thought that his heart was frozen to the point it was not beating anymore.
Looking at the man, Anaya knew that he had to be in pain for the whole time. And with the tiny body of hers, she could not do anything rather than showing him the fondness of a child and hope that at least sooth his sadness away.

Looking at him with her sparkly eyes, Anaya smiled happily while Hugo Brooks still had a cold poker face gaining him the wrath of the Alexander boys.
The three Alexanders spoke in unison making everyone around them smile looking at the sulky faces they had, without even giving any regard over the fact that they were in public. They could see how hard the mighty Alexander family was fighting over the little princess's attention.
This made everyone who was around them feel warm, knowing that in fact, this influential family that was cold and ruthless were indeed human as well. Unknowingly this made everyone in their social circle to respect the family more.
Surprising everyone, the little girl shook her head pouting clinging into Hugo brooks Neck.
All three resisted again extending their hands begging so she could come on to their hands instead.
While the three Alexander boys had sulky faces, Callie in fact was beaming with joy. She was extremely delighted about the fact that her daughter was giving her a reason to drag Hugo back with them.
Being best friends with Anaya Brooks in the past, Callie and Hugo were college mates as well. Although they were not as close as best friends would be, Callie always regarded Hugo as a big brother.
But who was Hugo Brooks, he could tell from the gleaming face Callie had, that the woman was scheming something.
Hence he politely refused.
Callie who was the not the type to back down showed her displeasure making her face look unsightly while glaring at the man who looked shocked by her words.
With a huff, Callie replied while Anaya kept on getting drowsy by the warmth being in Hugos embrace. Since the man was inexperienced, he had wrapped up both his hands around her awkwardly so she would not fall.

Without letting the man reply Callie turned towards her husband.
Damien sulked outright. Not in hell, he was sending his angel with that iceblock of a man.
This time both the boys and the two adult men exclaimed together. It was one sight to behold. After all , how much in synch could this bunch be to say the same word at the same time? Callie couldn't help but chuckle.
Hugo was once again dumbfounded by this. His wife sure had a way to surprise him. And from the looks of it, he knew he would not get out of this in any way knowing how Callie would be. Giving up he let out a small sigh.
Owen and Ethen were glaring at Hugo with all their might while looking disapprovingly at their mother. How could she give their baby sister to a man who doesn't even know how to take care of a baby? That was not right at all. Even though Ethen knew his Uncle Hugo, when it related to their baby sister, he would not agree on it.
While all of them were rumbling, Anaya had safely fallen asleep in the nook of Hugo brooks neck. After all, for almost a decade of her life, she was protected by the man, so she felt safe and secure to be in his arms.
This made an adorable sight since the man had a cold aura while holding a little pink angel who slept on his shoulder. All the ladies who were aiming on Hugo Brooks couldn't help but get their hopes up.
Even though they could not hear their conversation it looked like the man was close with the Alexanders. Not only this made Hugo brooks worth go up, the sexiness of him carrying a cute baby was extremely high. After all, when a handsome man carries a cute little angelic baby in their arms, who wouldn't think it was sexy?
The two boys synced nodding their heads in agreement. After all, they did not want to argue back after she used to call them by their full name. As both of them knew already, being called by the name by their mum was not often. And that meant business.
So with no choice, they lead Hugo brooks who still had their sister in his arms to their security patrol so they could go back home, leaving their teary-eyed father who was sulking behind their mother sigh in defeat.
After all, their mother was the boss of the family. Whatever she said would always be final. Even the most powerful Damien Alexander who ruled the business world was under her.
