Chapter 225 - 225. Aaron Smith

"But, before they left, I did hear the guy calling someone, I'm not sure, but if my hearing isn't a problem, he said the word airport," she added trying to remember.

"Airport?" Devan said wanting to make sure he heard.

"That's right, sir."

And at that moment, Devan immediately left. Stepping quickly left the mansion, headed for the airport.

He was getting worried, how could Aaron just leave while carrying Anna without telling him?

It was already evening, the clear sky that filled City J suddenly turned cloudy. And only a few minutes later, it rained so hard, even so, it did not become a barrier for Devan to keep driving his car.

During the trip, the man kept in touch with Anna and Aaron's contacts, even though it never got connected.

"Are you okay?" asked a man as he turned to the woman next to him. He is Aaron, and the woman he was talking to was Anna.

Hearing that, Anna just nodded, her eyes never leaving the air view outside the plane window. Yes, they had just left the airport, flying to Australia.

Aaron felt a little confused because Anna's response from the first time he told her everything was completely beyond his expectations.

#A few hours earlier...

It is now two o'clock in the afternoon.

After making sure that Dave had fallen asleep, then she left her son's room.

Her current condition could be said to be not very good, her mind was still filled with all the events that had happened to her in the past few days, and it made her chest always feel tight.

Getting out of the elevator on the first floor, Anna headed to the kitchen, intending to get some snacks in the hopes that it might fix her feelings a little. However, her footsteps suddenly stopped at the same time as the sound of the bell ringing.

"Let me open the door, madam," said a maid who was closest to Anna.

"No, just continue your work. I will open it," replied Anna slowly walking towards the main door. Her brow furrowed as her eyes filled with a strange figure standing outside. If her memory was correct, she had never met her at all. Not only one, but there are also several who are standing behind the man like a bodyguard

'Did he have the wrong address?' Anna thought, then decided to open the door.

"Are you Anna?" the man asked directly, causing Anna to freeze on the spot.

Aaron looked at Anna from head to toe, as if checking the woman's condition.

"I am sorry for only being able to find you now," said the man again. Yes, he is Aaron, the younger brother of Anna's father.

"Turns out you're this big now," he added with a smile. It was clear that his eyes were glazed over as if he was holding back the feelings that were churning within him.

Even though Anna hasn't given any response to him yet, it doesn't mean that he can't figure out what his niece looks like. Devan once showed him a photo, and it turned out that after looking at it up close like this, Anna was indeed very similar to her mother.

Only glimpsed it, and he already knew it. He no longer needed any evidence to clarify the identity of the woman in front of him at this time.

Surprised? Of course. Anna was getting confused.

"Sorry in advance. I really can't understand what you mean, sir? I am Anna, but I no longer have any close relatives as you said earlier. Maybe you have the wrong person?" Anna asked in a very polite tone.

"Ah, sorry for my impatience little princess, introduce, I am Aaron. To be more precise, Aaron Smith," replied the man.

"I came to Indonesia to pick you up, little Princess," he added.

Anna didn't respond, not because she didn't want to, but she didn't know how to respond, the man's narration, instead of reducing her confusion, only increased it.

"Sorry, I can't understand what you mean, sir," said Anna after a few seconds of silence, her eyes slowly scanning the people standing behind the man who called himself Aaron.

"Okay, then I'll explain everything. How about you let your Uncle come in first?" said Aaron while smiling.

"But…"

"Don't worry. I'm not at all a person you should be wary of little princess. Ah yes, I got your address from Devan. You know this man right?" Aaron said immediately cutting Anna's words.

"That's true, but..."

"Come on, let's go in first. I just arrived and I'm very thirsty," said Aaron who suddenly put his arm around the woman's shoulder and led her inside. It was as if the two of them had gotten very close.

"Hahaha, I've been wanting to do this to my nephew for a long time," he added.

"Have you lived in this house all this time?" asked Aaron scanning his surroundings, looking appraising.

"You guys wait outside," he said to some of the men who had followed him earlier.

"P-please let go," Anna stuttered as she tried to escape the stranger who suddenly tried to get to know her.

"Oh, I'm sorry. I was just too excited and couldn't help myself," Aaron replied, pulling his arm away from Anna's neck.

"Please have a seat, I'll make you a drink," said Anna starting to get up from her position.

"Hmm okay, I'm thirsty," said Aaron as he landed on the sofa, his eyes never leaving Anna. There was a feeling of emotion and longing raging within him.

Previously, he had been worried about how he would act when he first met Anna.

Aaron chuckled, he couldn't even hold himself back.

The feelings he had been worried about for his nephew had now disappeared after seeing how his life was in person, thankfully, Anna seems to be living well without any flaws.

"Please sir," said Anna suddenly appearing, the woman placed a glass of cold drink on the table right in front of Aaron.

"Thank you," the man replied.

Anna didn't reply and only responded with a nod. Trying to contain her curiosity and confusion.

"Who do you live with?" Aaron asked after putting the glass in his hand back on the table.

"Sorry. It's not that I don't want to answer your question. It's just, I find this a little strange. You suddenly appeared here. I don't know your identity at all, and why have you come here. With just those two things, I think, I have no reason to answer your question, sir.. Even I've been kind enough to give you a drink," Anna replied at length.
