Chapter 81 - Revenge 80: Help Me

Morning comes and everyone was in the dining room eating their breakfast. Alfonso and Pia were both looking at the young ones in the table with a curious look on their faces. Both Anna and Kyle kept on yawning every one minute.

"What did the two of you did last night?" Alfonso couldn't help but ask since Anna and Kyle look so tired and needs more sleep. It breaks his heart looking at his beautiful little NaNa looking so haggard and as for his nephew, he does not care even for a tiny bit of care.

"Homework/Stargazing." Both Anna and Kyle said at the same time. Since Kyle and she are in front of each other it's unavoidable for them to meet each other's eyes. When their eyes met Anna was the first one to retreat and scoff.

"Uh-huh." Alfonso said not believing their claims as he saw how Anna reacted when her eyes and Kyle's eyes met and he is quite suspicious of what happened to both of them without him knowing anything.

Alfonso wanted to ask another question but Anna suddenly stood up and said, "I'm finished, thank you for the food. I'm going now, have a great day everyone." She said like a robot reciting a line from a script. After saying that she said goodbye to Pia and Alexandre before leaving the house without even looking at Alfonso and Kyle.

Somewhat upset, Alfonso ask Kyle, "What did you to her? My little NaNa usually would leave a peck on my cheeks." Alfonso said in a weeping tone.

Kyle weirdly looked at his uncle; now this is the uncle that he knows, he's finally back. Yesterday and the day after that his uncle has been acting too serious that he couldn't help but obey him; afraid of getting on his bad side. Kyle looked at Alfonso with an obvious frown in his face, "I did nothing to her..." Kyle did not have the guts to tell his uncle the truth because if he does he might be forced to do something he does not want to do.

Before Alfonso ask Kyle another question, Kyle did the same thing as Anna did earlier and left the house without looking back. "Hmph! Tell me Pia is the generation today is that rude like my dear nephew?" He asked completely excluding Anna from his question.

Pia did not answer his question and just focus on eating the food in front of her. She is quite getting used to the luxury that Alfonso is providing her and it felt very uncomfortable for her. When she was still Alfonso's assistant she did not have this kind of things, yes, Alfonso did treat her well but it's not like this. She then looked at her son in her arms with a worried expression plastered on her face. With this kind of luxury Alfonso has she is kind of worried that her son might grow up spoiled but somehow Pia felt that Alfonso is not gonna their son to grow up like that.

Seeing that there was no response from Pia, Alfonso looked at her and saw that she was staring at Alexandre with a hint of warmth in her eyes. With such sight in front of him, Alfonso could do nothing but pray for a longer time for Pia to be with Alexandre and for Alexandre to have more memories about his mother.

On his way, Kyle is calling Lannie and this is his nth time trying to reach her but to no avail, Lannie is not answering her phone. But Kyle did not give up and tried and tried again until that sister of his answered his call. After a few more times of trying to reach Lannie, Lannie finally answered the call with an angry tone.

"Why are you calling me?! I was still sleeping, so disturbing! You know very well that I am not a morning person brother!"

Kyle ignored his sister's bantering and just ask a question, "Help me."

A simple word came out from his mouth but it totally caught Lannie off guard. She did not expect her brother to say such words towards her. Usually, whenever there is a problem her brother won't ask anybody for help and just fix that problem without breaking a sweat. But now, it's totally mindblowing and unbelievable.

"W-what did you just said?" The sleepiness in Lannie suddenly fades away.

"I said, 'help me'." Kyle hates it when he has to repeat himself again but he is not gonna put up an attitude towards his sister if he wants her help.

"Oh ho~~ What kind of help do you want, brother?" Lannie does not know what kind of help does her brother wants from her but she does not care at all. This might a once in lifetime request from him and she has to savor all of it in one go in return for an exchange.

"I might have offended Anna and I want to sincerely apologize to her. What do you think should I do?"

Hearin what her brother just said Lannie almost dropped her phone from shock. Never mind the return of exchange for her help! If helping her brother would bring him and Anna together Lannie does not want anything in return; she will freely help her brother with all of her love!

But the way her brother just said it as if he's only treating it only a simple matter. But in Lannie's perspective, it's a good first step, a perfectly fine first step for her brother's sake. Her brother needs more pushes to really care for Anna and if that happens there might be a big fat chance for Lannie to have Anna as her sister-in-law in the future.

While Lannie was deep joy, Kyle was frowning waiting for her sister's reply. One minute, two minutes, and three minutes have passed and there was only silence was heard on his sister's side. "Hey, are you gonna help me or what?"

Snapping out of her fantasy having Anna part of the Robertson family, Lannie immediately answered her brother, "Of course, I will! This beautiful sister of yours will help you with all of my heart!"

After Lannie said that she started to blabber about ways to please Anna and Kyle only listened to her and from time to time asked a question on why would he do that or isn't it too much just to say sorry but Lannie firmly said 'yes' and that there is no other way.
