Chapter 108
Without emotions, you won't have to care so much.
Regardless of how Owen attacked, she would not drop the case against Oliver.
As for the Meyer's shares, it didn't mean much to her, but even if she wanted to pay them back, she would only give them to Scott.
The so-called life of a wealthy family was completely out of place back then.
If she could get away from everything, she might feel more at ease.
Putting down her phone, Anika looked at the car window and realized that this was not the way home.
She turned around and asked, "Where are we going?" Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
Zac looked sideways at her and said, "I'll take you to meet someone”
"Who?" Anika was puzzled.
The man smiled and said, "You'll know when we get there’ Anika frowned and could only swallow the doubts in her heart.Half an hour later, the car stopped at a private clubhouse in the middle of the city.”
Anika followed Zac out of the car.
The staff of the club led them through the long corridor and helped push open the door of the private room.
In the quiet room, the silent-looking man had a firm outline and sat there in a well-dressed suit, emitting a mature and steady aura.
There were faint lines at the end of his eyes, but judging from his appearance alone, he should not be more than thirty years old.
When he saw them, he turned her head to look at Anika.
His burning gaze lingered on her face for a long time.
After a while, he said, "You are Nika? You look very similar to your grandmother when she was young’’ Anika was slightly stunned, "Who are you?"
Edgar looked at Zac, who was standing silently by the side, and the corner of his lips raised slightly, "I am your biological uncle.’’
Zac sat down with the slightly stunned Anika and said in a clear voice, "It was hard for you to personally go."
"It's fine.I should have come back a long time ago."
After Edgar finished speaking, he handed some items to Anika.
When she saw the words clearly, Anika was stunned.
"You were born more than a month prematurely in BY City.It was something I suggested your mother to keep, but then--"
Edgar paused for a while and sighed softly.
"It was never used"
Up until Edgar left, Anika was still in a trance.
She looked at the documents on the table and remained silent.
Zac patted her head comfortably, "Your Uncle Scott doesn't know yet.It's up to you to decide whether to believe it or not."
When Anika heard this, she was stunned and turned to look at him.
"You didn't contact me two days ago because you went to see ...Mr.Simmons?"
Actually, she didn't know how to address Edgar.
Zac nodded.
Perhaps as a diplomat, staying abroad all the time, he was alone, unmarried, and, for some reason, did not choose to return to his country after his term of office had expired.
Before Zac returned to Europe, he had flown two flights of more than ten hours in a row, so he didn't have time to contact her.
Seeing her staring at him in a daze, he rubbed her head and said, "What's wrong?"
"I just suddenly understood something.’
"What is it?"
"Zac, Uncle treats me well, probably because I am the daughter of my father, the granddaughter of my grandfather.’’ Anika gently pulled down the corner of her mouth.
"The premise that Mr.Simmons is also treating me kindly should also be because of blood."
"People say blood is the strongest bond, but for me, blood-bound love doesn't seem to be as strong.Thinking about it, it doesn't seem to matter anymore."
Zac looked down at her and said, "You don't want to prove it anymore?"
"I haven't decided yet."
Anika shook her head and rubbed her faint temples.
Suddenly, she said, "Zac, this place doesn't seem to be far from A University, let's go to the playground."
In the past, when she went to school, she would walk around the playground one after another whenever there was something she couldn't figure out or was conflicted about.
It was as if the path beneath her feet had been smoothed, and her thoughts had also been figured out.
In order to pretend to be a student of the school, the two of them had already gone to the mall to buy two sets of sportswear and put them on when they entered A University.
They wondered why there aren't many people on the playground near the end of the term.
Most of them were sports students who were preparing for training.
Occasionally, one or two small couples could be seen.
Anika chose to stay in school during the year when she was studying at A University.
At the end of each term, she would go to the library to grab a seat.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but complain to Zac, "Do you still remember that you always exploited me to help you get a seat in the library?"
"Taking a seat is considered exploitation?"
His voice was leisurely, his eyelids drooping as he looked at her.
Back in college, Kayden was in love with Lucy.
She waited for her to leave Kayden and thought that there was finally a chance.
However, she planned to go abroad to exchange for further studies.
"Why not? Every high school sports meeting, you forced me to hold water and wait for you there"
Zac's motor nerves were really good, and he even scored an extra point in the college entrance exam.
In high school, in Class 1 were mostly girls, and a few boys who did well in sports.
Therefore, every time LZ Middle School held a sports meeting, he would participate in most sports.
Anika still remembered that when he ran two hundred meters, he brushed off the girls who came forward to deliver him water.
He walked over and asked her with a frown, "Nika, aren't you in charge of logistics? Where's my water?"
"Didn't Marge give it to you?"
There was a fixed number of drinks given to the athletes.
On that day, there was a traffic jam.
Anika came a little late and asked Marge to give the drinks to the athletes first.
However, when the teen heard her words, he leisurely replied, "No."
Anika looked at the empty beverage carton and frowned, "But I don't have any left.
"Don't you have another bottle?"
Zac's gaze fell on the mineral water beside her and he picked it up.
"I've drank"
‘‘That bottle of water’’.
Before she could utter the last few words, he was so thirsty that he drank up the bottle of water.
Then he turned to look at her and said, "What did you say?"
"Nothing." Anika pursed her lower lips.
He had already drunk it, but it was even more embarrassing for him to say it out loud at this moment.
Afterwards, after he finished participating in the project, he could not get the drinks distributed by the shift fee, so he forced Anika, who was in charge of logistics, to personally leave water.
As the scene flowed, Anika walked around the A-sized playground.
She looked at the tall figure who was walking towards her after jogging not far away and smiled as she handed him the drink in her hand.
The man took the bottle and threw it away.
The empty plastic bottle drew a perfect arc and jumped into the trash can.
He turned his head to look at her, facing the evening breeze, faintly coinciding with the seventeen-year- old youth with high spirits.
Under the afterglow of the setting sun, there was a handsome face that was dyed with bright multicolored light, making people's hearts palpitate.
Ignoring the surrounding gazes, Anika hugged him.
Zac lowered his head to hug her and said casually, "What are you trying to do now?"
"Zac, I love you so much."
‘‘A love like this, to whom I can firmly gave my all, and to whom I can share all my burdens with”
The next day, when Owen and Lucy entered the Meyer's old residence, they discovered that there was an unfamiliar face sitting on the sofa in the living room.
It was Edgar.
After nearly twenty years as a diplomat, Edgar's temperament was naturally different from that of an ordinary person.
Owen secretly guessed Edgar's identity, then looked at Scott, who was sitting at the top, and asked, "Who is this?"
"Nika's uncle.’
"Uncle?" Owen frowned.
However, he thought that as long as they weren't of the same sex, they wouldn't be able to do an accurate kinship test with Anika.
It was also a pity that Anika only had an uncle, but no aunt.
Thinking of this, Owen smiled and said, "Mr.Simmons, what are you doing here today?"
The Simmons family was just ordinary.
Owen knew that Edgar had a younger brother who had been stationed abroad and was unwilling to return, but he had never seen him before.
He didn't expect Edgar to actually come here.
"When Nika was born, my sis stored her umbilical cord blood.It was only today that I found out about this"
After Scott finished speaking, he pushed the report form on the table to Owen and said, "Here is the test result.”
Afterwards, he looked at Lucy, who had been quietly following Owen, his words carrying a hint of disappointment.
"Lucy, it's time to end this absurdity."
