Chapter 236 - Revenge 237: For the Sake of Her Love Ones

"Umm… y-you can leave now. I don't want you to waste your time on me." Anna said as she avoided the gaze Kylle is giving her. For some reason, being all alone in her room with Kyle making heart beat erratically. 'This is dangerous.' She said inwardly.

She discreetly glances at him and saw that he has a calm expression on his face. Anna never once had a problem facing Kyle before, but right now, Kyle is just too much for her to handle. She is here sitting on her bed and having a dilemma facing him while Kyle is sitting on the chair in front of her, having such a calm look on his face.

'Why is it that I'm the only feeling awkward at this situation?' She asked inwardly. She feels that Kyle is treating her unjustly.

"Leave? I believe I can't do that." Kyle said as he reveals a gentle smile on his face. "Your grandfather told me to make that you rest properly."

Kyle knows that what he did earlier, carrying Anna in a bridal style is too much and inappropriate because he knows that they are not that close like Anna is close to Josh and Zen. He only did that out of worry that Anna might exert herself. He hopes that Anna won't hate him for his action, and swears that next time, he will not do things that would make Anna uncomfortable.

"You can just tell grandfather that I'm already sleeping." It would have been better if Kyle at least shows her that he is also awkward in the situation that they are in, but is just immune to awkwardness.

"Anna, you do know that lying is not the best way to handle your grandfather, right?" Kyle doesn't live in the Coleman residence, but he knows that whoever faces Marcus must not lie to him, face to face.

Seeing that Anna is feeling awkward being here with him all alone in her room, Kyle sighed, and spoke, "If you don't want me to be here, then just say so. I can leave your room if you really don't want me here."

The way Anna is hearing, it sounded like he was an abandoned puppy, and this is making her feel bad for making it obvious that she is throwing him out of her room.

After thinking things through, Anna finally spoke, "I'm sorry." She said as she lowers her head feeling bad. "Y-you don't have to go, you can stay here until I fell asleep." If she were brave enough to tell Kyle the truth, she would say that she would feel lonely if he leaves. But because of her nervousness and the feeling of awkwardness, she doesn't have the guts to say it.

Kyle grinned when he heard that. He is quite satisfied with Anna's words, "Are you sure that you want me to stay here? I don't wanna make you feel uncomfortable." Kyle might want to stay with Anna for much longer, but he still wants to make sure that Anna is comfortable when she is around him.

"Yes. I am sure. Besides, I like to talk to someone before I sleep." Anna doesn't know why but talking to someone before sleeping makes her feel at ease. Every night, before she sleeps, the person she always talks to is her brother.

Sometimes Anna thinks that the reason for her doing that is because it might be connected to what had happened to her in her past life. The last talk she had before closing her eyes was the hateful words she has towards Juan and Rebecca. It did not do well in her heart, it left a huge scar in her.

"Really? How come?" It's the first time for Kyle to hear that someone actually has a weird habit just to help sleep easier to grasp.

"Not so long ago, I had a nightmare, still stuck in my mind, and whenever I close my eyes I see that nightmare," Anna said with a bitter smile. "The only way for me to forget that is by talking to someone to make me feel at ease."

Seeing that bitter smile on Anna's face made Kyle feel sad for her. For some reason, he could feel that Anna's nightmare seems to be real, and this upset him because he doesn't know what kind of nightmare Anna had. He wants to help he doesn't know where to begin.

Kyle moves closer to her and sat next to her, then caresses her cheek. "Whatever that nightmare is, it is over now. So I think it would be best for you to forget about it." Kyle thinks that whatever nightmare Anna has would only held Anna behind far from the others, and that won't do any good to Anna.

The touch that Anna is feeling on her cheeks really is making her heart feel warm and she felt that she is safe as long as she knows that she can have this touch every day. But telling her to forget what happened in her past life, is an impossible task to do. "I don't think I can ever forget that. It's, it's hard for me to do that."

"Why would you say that? You are not even trying." Even if Anna doesn't tell him, Kyle could see that Anna is not trying to forget that nightmare she had. Something inside her is stopping from doing so, and the upcoming question is, what is stopping her?

Anna flinched when she heard that from Kyle. What Kyle just said is the truth, she is not even trying to forget her past life. She wants to keep it for as long as possible because she doesn't know when and where the problem will end. It's torture for her, but for the sake of her loved ones she has to, no matter how painful it is to look back into that memory.

Not wanting to continue the subject, Anna shakes her head and then changes the subject, "Let's stop talking about me, let's talk about you instead."

Truth be told, Anna wants to know more about Kyle. She only knows about him through articles and any other things that are shown to the public, but none of those says who is Kyle Robertson behind that cold image of him.

Anna believes that Kyle is more than that cold image that almost everyone portrays him to be.
