Soon, Anna reached her Lakehouse. She went inside and Mr. Asher gave her a look.
Though Anna faced him with a warm smile.
No matter what, Mr. Asher and her father, Liam never had a good relationship. After all, their daughter died because of Liam's son.
There was always a cold war between them.
But at least, the Asher family never blamed them. This was there or maybe Shaira's wish that her death is not blamed on anyone else but her self.
A thorn is always there in one's heart which can never be erased so easily!
"Uncle, is dad here?" Anna was a little hesitant in asking. She did not want him to be upset or angry about anything like this. Uncle just pointed towards the yard.
Anna understood he might be either around the pond or roaming in the outskirts of the yard.
He did not speak anything, but Anna guessed it right.
Mrs. Asher was also never happy with Mr. Liam but still as they were guests here, she served him with a cup of tea and biscuits. This was the normal thing in a middle-class family of theirs.
But the fact that he ate it without kicking up fuse was a big thing which she rarely saw.
Her father was brought in such a lavish environment that she feels that it is not his mistake but their grandfathers of not making him a normal man.
Her mother easily adjusts because she moved out of her home as soon as she turned eighteen. Though her father never allowed her to work outside for safety reasons, she still worked in the company.
Marrie understands what a middle-class family goes through.
Anna came into the yard but did not find him. Taking her horse with her, she rode to the pond where she had gone earlier with Alex.
"My baby horse, today we can have a fast ride."
Maybe the horse was also happy that he was getting some extra time with his favorite person so the horse also gave her a wonderful ride.
Just then, Anna saw her father sitting near the pond on a bench. He took one of the horses to come here, which was tied to the bench itself.
Anna got down and let her horse have a little fun here.
But the first thing she did was to untie the horse with Liam had brought. "You also go and play.."
Yes, the horse also has feelings and if they wanted to play then they can. No one will stop them.
Hearing her voice, Liam turned around and saw her untying her horse.
"Anna, why are you untying him? We also have to go back." But Anna glared at him to shut up.
"Isn't it a little awkward for you to use the horse which brother Seb used to use? This horse is his. Not yours! So, do not even think of tying down things which belong to Brother Seb." Anna said with a straight face. Liam just listened to what she had said but did not reply.
"Why did you call me?" Anna asked the main point. She did not have a whole day with her to do things and talk and join him with his idiotic talks. "Come sit with me." Liam again sat on the bench and Anna also sat beside him.
There was silence, just the chirping of the bird can listen. Anna can feel his body being stiffed.
Well, this happens when you want to say something but you are hesitant to do that. Liam being nervous about something? Anna would take that as a joke
She turned her face towards him and spoke, "Are you even going to talk?"
"You already know about the crowning ceremony?" And as predicted, Anna had thought of this possibility.
She somewhere knew maybe, her instinct said that this will be related to this damn crowning ceremony!
"Yes!" Anna replied just in one word.
The truth is that she was not ready to talk about that thing. The place which was meant to be of her brother but now, she can not even imagine herself at that place.
Since childhood, she knew that having a big brother will not lead responsibilities on her. She can live a carefree life but no! Destiny had some other plans for her for sure.
"So? Why are you declining and getting it done lately?" Liam straightforwardly asked her.
Anna covered her face with both of her hands as if she was irritated by his words. Is he her father? For once, can he get to know what his child is feeling? No! All he wants is his profit.
"Oh well, If I say that I do not want to be crowned, will you and grandparents agree and let anyone else from the extended Walker family to be crowned?" Hearing this, Liam frowned.
Why was his daughter so rebelling? Seb was not like this.
But he forgot Seb was more like Marrie with calm composure. Whereas, Anna is like Liam, more stubborn.
"Anna! You are decent of Walker family, my child. You can not run away from your responsibilities and you know that very well."
"Then produce a new child with your f*cking mistress who is living in your own house in the place of my mother!!" Anna can't help but shout at him and Liam can only lower his head.
The truth behind keeping both mother-daughter duos, his wife and daughter away from him is known to none except his soul.
He will carry it to his grave if required.
"Anna! Your language." But Anna just shrugged. She did not care what he thinks.
"That is not possible... You know that so get that out of your mind. You are going to be crowned and that too, after your exams. The date is already fixed."
