Surrender
Witnessing Alvin cutting steak for Anya and keep staring at her, Dennis could bet Anya wasn't just an old friend or acquaintance to Alvin. He had the urge to question Anya later, but he decided not to.
Although he always hoped for her to have somebody to love her, take care of her, Zane was an inevitable part of her life. So he was sure his daughter would prioritize her son before taking any step.
The dinner was finally completed in a strange silence. Dennis and Alvin were satisfied looking at Anya eating well. Meanwhile, Anya noticed her parents liked the wine. She decided to check with the butler or housekeeper about the wine.
Alvin spoke when the four stood up, "Uncle Bernard is here to speak with us."
Bernard: "…"
Anya: "…"
Why did she feel like Alvin wanted to speak to Bernard in front of her?
She sent her parents and son and sat down. The table was quickly cleaned up before Bernard started.
