Chapter 146"Hey Uncle," Annah smiled.She and Connor had talked about this overnight and they had come to the conclusion that she should talk to her uncle and Aunt to see their side of things before they made any decision regarding their coming."Is that my beautiful niece? How are you my darling?" Matt asked.He was presently weeding in his garden, looking through all the plants he had cultivated earlier that year. As an added protection, Connor had earlier placed a ton of his men in and around their house because he didn't trust Michael not to go after them just because they were related to him and Annah."I'm a fine uncle. How is Aunt Kate? Is she there with you?" Annah asked.What she was about to say concerned the both of them and she wanted her present because she needed to hear both of their views."She's in the kitchen making breakfast. I'm at the garden side, trying to weed out some plants. Is everything okay?" he asked."Yes, everything is fine uncle but there is something
Chapter 147"How are your people?" Martha asked.Annah had met her in the large hallways, giving instructions to some of the junior staff on what to do and how to go about their daily business for that day. Since she was the eldest, it was only wise for her to be the one to give them the instructions."They are fine, okay actually." Annah smiled.She had spoken to them, hours ago and after the call, she didn't even know what to expect. She had no idea whether they would accept her and Connor's request or if they would simply pass on it but whatever it was, she knew that she had to respect their decisions because they knew what was best for them."The baby is asleep," Martha chuckled.Annah looked down where her baby was sleeping on the baby carrier and indeed, he was already fast asleep. After the call with her uncle, she had rushed to go take care of him when she heard his nagging and she was just happy that she was there at that time because it could have turned into a full blown na
Chapter 148"Hey baby," Connor smiled, walking into their room.He hugged Annah, pouring all of his love into the hug. He had missed her so much for the few hours he had been away and he couldn't even believe how he had survived without her there with him."Hey love, I missed you so much." she smiled.He kissed her, pouring all of his love into the kiss and in that moment, Annah knew that she would never be able to leave him. She was a part of him and he, a part of her."Me too. How is my favorite lady doing?" he asked."She's doing alright and how is my favorite man doing too?" she smiled."Doing alright too just missed you, that's all." he chuckled.He made his way towards the cot where his son was fast asleep and as he stared at the little boy, he knew that his life was complete."How was your trip? I heard you went to the outskirts of town and you didn't even think to tell me."There was a fake look of anger on her face and Connor knew that she wasn't really angry but still, he re
Chapter 149"Here, you can just drop it there." Annah said.As soon as she walked into the room, the first thing she saw was Connor, bare chested and with just a towel wrapped around his waist. He was on a phone call and she wasn't surprised because she had watched him take calls at odd hours of the day. She knew that he had just come out of the bathroom and just staring at him now, in that moment reminded her of what they had done a few days ago in this very room. Her toes curled when she remembered how Connor had made her scream towards the sky."Where ma'am?" Eric asked, cutting into her thoughts."On the center table, thank you." she smiled."It's no worry ma'am," he said, placing it on the table before taking a step back.It was then Connor turned back and when he saw them, there was a frown on his face which was immediately replaced by relief because he recognized Eric as one of his men."Thank you Eric, you've been very helpful. You can go now," Annah smiled.The young man nodd
Chapter 150The sound of the phone ringing was the first thing Annah heard as soon as she woke up that morning. Connor had completely destroyed her the previous night and true to his words, she knew that she wouldn't be able to effectively walk for a week. He had made sure of that and he had stuck to his plans.Annah could feel soreness all over her body most especially in her privates and even as she complained about it, she loved the feeling of being claimed by the man she wanted to spend the rest of her life with. It was a pleasant feeling and the pleasure far outweighed the pain and she wasn't complaining about it.The loud ringing of the phone close to her drew her attention again and Annah knew she had to get up and answer the phone because whoever was on the other line wanted to talk to her badly and she needed to answer the person because she didn't know if it was an emergency. The last thing she wanted was for there to be an emergency and she wasn't there to help the person.
Chapter 151"So what did he say?" Connor asked over breakfast three hours later.They were at the large dining table, just him and her alone. Martha and the others had decided to have breakfast outside in the open air. As they ate, Annah fed their child and as she stared at her bundle of joy, she realized that her son was growing bigger by the day. This was everything she had ever dreamed of and imagined and now, it was all coming to pass and she could hardly contain her joy."Look, he's staring at you." Annah smiled.He had removed his mouth from the bottle of feeder she had been feeding him with to stare at Connor as he spoke. He smiled, kicking his little feet as Connor made funny faces at him. Annah laughed as the baby continued to kick his feet, still staring at Connor."Hey little man, you want me to carry you?" Connor grinned.As if in response to what he said, the baby made small noises. Annah chuckled, knowing that this was a sign for her to hand him over to his father."Okay
Chapter 152"Here you go baby, sleep tight." Annah smiled.She placed her child on the cot, watching him sleep for a few seconds before she finally walked out of the room and downstairs towards where she had left Connor. As she walked downstairs, she was quite surprised that she didn't see him again when she had only left him a few seconds ago. She looked around her but still, he was nowhere to be found and she was quite worried because she didn't know where he had gone."Connor?" she called out.There was no answer and she was beginning to get worried because he hadn't told her that he would be leaving there anytime soon. She walked towards the balcony that overlooked the gardens and she was quite surprised that she still didn't see him. Alarm bells began ringing in her head as she wondered where he had possibly disappeared to within a short period of time. Everything was looking very strange to her now and she hated to think that something had happened but she knew that wasn't possi
Chapter 153Annah, now fully dressed, was ready to head out to check her uncle's property. She needed to know if it was in good shape because the last thing she wanted was for them to come live in a derelict place, one that wasn't fit for them."Are you ready to go?" Connor asked, walking into the room.As she stared at him, a mind told her to ask him what he had discussed with Hans even though she knew everything already but still, another mind told her to just keep quiet and go on with her plans silently. There were many things she wanted to say to him but she knew that the best thing she could do in that moment was just to keep shut. The last thing she wanted was to put a dent in their relationship because she knew that this issue would surely make them argue."Yes," she said, finally.If he noticed something wrong with her response, he didn't say anything and he carried on like nothing was amiss. Annah went back to the mirror, adjusting her clothes as she watched him through the m
