Alex had no reason to hide this anymore. It was too long for everyone to accept that he has a kid with Anna and he has no shame to know that he was a father at the age of twenty.
Olivia looked dumbfounded at that point. Not only by the revelation, but the nearby people were also gossiping in between them. The sound of gasps was heard when they realized that how both failed were involved with each other.
"Olivia, stay away from my family… otherwise be ready to face my wrath." Saying this as the last words, Anna grabbed Alex's hand and they both locked out of the cafe.
There was a commotion behind them. Pictures were clicked and she was pretty much sure that the recordings that the people took were going to hit the headlines.
But for the very first time, she wasn't afraid anymore to expose that she is the mother of such a cute child. She bore her and there is nothing wrong with it. Moreover, the child's daddy is also with her so why will she be afraid?
Because the child's image will get damaged? She doesn't give a thought to it because now that Alex declared by himself, she knows that he is ready to give her another name.
Sitting in their cars, the boy made their way to Anna's penthouse. They knew many questions were going to be raised but they decided to work on it together. Accepting is the best way.
But first of all, she has to give many answers to her family members. Speeding off the car, in the next thirty minutes the river under her house.
There was most silence in between them. No, they had nothing to discuss but yes, many things to seek and talk about.
Taking a deep breath, when they entered the lift, Anna opened her mouth to ask, "Do you think we did the right thing?"
"Exactly! Our child is always the best way. You kept her away from the fame and media because of the fear of exposing her to the dangers. But some or the other time, this was going to be revealed. The sooner the better."
A sigh escaped her lips, "Everyone will be shocked to hear that. Not only this but many things at elbow going to make sense to them." Alex didn't reply. He was ready to face things together with her at the end.
When they both stopped inside the home, something came in their direction to see the kiss that was broadcasted on the news channels.
"ALEX STEVE HAS A CHILD TOGETHER WITH ANNA WALKER!"
"BOTH THE FAMILIES HAVE CHILD TOGETHER. IS SHE THE NEW BOUNDING OF THE FAMILY?"
"Who Is 'THE JUNIOR WALKER-STEVE?"
Dozens of questions flashed and were asked by the reports but before that, they both felt they should have felt it because Kiara was sitting in front of the television.
Her eyes flew to the kitchen where her mother signed her with a danger sign. She took small steps and came closest to Anna.
She lightly whispered into her ears, "I just turned on the television to see the news but I was shocked to see this! And I didn't even realize when Kiara also came out of her room and she also heard the headlines. I'm so sorry Anna… but this.. mess.."
Marrie had nothing to clarify. She knew that she committed a mistake by switching on the television at the wrong timings but she herself wasn't aware that such type of news is floating on the news channels.
Anna patted her mother but she was afraid. Not only she but even Alex felt his hands went cold. Never in his wildest dream did he think that this move of his to shut Olivia will turn this wrong in his path to make a space in Kiara's heart.
He doesn't want her hatred. He won't be able to tolerate it at any cost but nothing was in his hands anymore. When he was standing in the frozen state, his hands were entangled and then Anna came into his view.
"You just said that some or the other way it was bound to be revealed. She was a kid but the earlier we tell her the better way she will be able to accept everything. As well, you have made a strong bond with her. Keep faith in that."
"I..I.. know...but.." he had no words to describe the fear that rose in the depth of his heart. What will he do if Kiara never wishes to talk to him?
"Come with me now.." Anna tried to pull him to where Kiara signed, who hasn't realized their presence till now. But Alex shook his head. "You are her mother and you are supposed to tell her about this. Go and tell her patiently, I will just watch from this place, at a certain distance."
He did not have that amount of courage to face his little charm in this situation. Even Anna understood the turmoil that he was going through and nodded her head.
Taking tiny steps, Anna went near the couch and sat along with Kiara, whose eyes were on the television. She can read and write and Anna was sure that she is able to hear clearly what people are and reports are saying.
"Kiara… baby.. how are you? Did you finish your homework?" Anna started at a light note and received a small nod from Kiara but she didn't move her face in Anna's direction.
Kiara was sitting as if she was in any kind of deep thinking and this worried Anna even more. But somehow, she knew that she has talk about it.
"Oh.. so mum is making dinner for today. What would you like to eat? Umm.. let me that's what my baby girl will w-" Anna was cut off when Kiara looked at her mother with neither shock or stunned face.
"Is uncle Alex my real daddy, mommy?"
