Looking into her eyes that were searching for his reaction, Alvin deduced it was Liam who hid about her six years ago and she wasn't the one who asked Liam to hide.

He wasn't quite sure how to react to Liam who met his Little Donut when he was looking everywhere for her.

Thus, without believing his deduction directly, he nodded at Liam to continue his confession in front of Anya.

Liam knew Alvin would loathe him if he got to know he had taken the job of scaring Anya away from Alvin's reach. At that time, they were young, naive, and fearful. He had to scare her away so that his father and mother wouldn't harm her.

He looked at Anya. Her change was too drastic. He wasn't even able to identify her when he had seen her for the first time in the Oasis mansion, in a night dress.

How could he even guess when not just her outer appearance, but her personality was so different? She was meek, clueless, and fearful. Now she was confident, distant, and had a strong presence. Her gray eyes that had naiveness were piercingly cold.

He hadn't considered Anya wouldn't have told Alvin anything about their encounter. Now, he doubted if they would believe him but he chose to keep the book open.

"It was unexpected when I heard Dad instructing a few men to find Anya Owen and throw her out of the city. If I had said anything against it, Dad wouldn't have allowed me to leave the company or use the mobile."

Casper knew Liam was the only one who maintained a good relationship with Alvin in the Matthews family.

Anya could already make out the story he was going to narrate. So she was disinterested in his narration even if it was going to be the truth.

Liam continued, "I blurted out that I will handle Anya Owen." So that those men don't hurt Anya or take any extreme measures.

Anya knew if there was one person who could have taken care of the whole situation, it was Liam. But what he did was scare her when she was still digesting her pregnancy news.

She knew Liam wasn't obliged to help her but Alvin? Weren't they brothers who grew up together?

Recalling the past and feeling bitter, she scoffed, "And he agreed!?" Casper wasn't a fool.

Liam glanced at Anya and saw Alvin's expression soften when he turned to Anya. Liam ignored her remark and continued, "I made up that a Matthews family member's appearance could be more impactful on a… small-town girl." He had to sound out Gianna and Casper so that Casper could believe in him.

Anya wanted to laugh at that. "Oh, thank you for your efforts. I might have miscarried otherwise." There was sarcasm in her tone, although the thought of some insensible, physically violent men hurting her made her body turn cold.

"You knew about your pregnancy then?" Alvin was the first to ask. ƒ𝘳𝗲𝑒𝒘𝐞𝚋𝚗𝐨v𝘦l.𝒄o𝐦

Anya nodded and frankly responded, "I and Krystle went to the supermarket from the hospital that day."

Looking at Liam in shock after hearing about the pregnancy, Anya purposefully added, "I even asked for your contact number when he introduced me as the eldest son of the Matthews family."

She had thought to get over the fear of Alvin being harmed by somebody, then she could call Alvin and tell him everything.

Liam realized why Anya was desperate and teary when she asked for Alvin's number.

Alvin clenched his teeth and looked at Liam. The latter didn't notify him about Anya and he didn't help Anya either.

Liam felt uneasy in his seat. Despite expecting the worst, he wasn't able to meet Alvin's eyes. He felt like he betrayed Alvin due to his fear of his father.

He continued, "Dad sent me with three other men. If I hadn't scared Anya to leave the city, those men would have taken the charge."

Instead of those men's violent behavior toward Anya, he tried to protect her for Alvin by being rude. That was the first and last time he was offensive and brash to anybody in his life. Whenever he spoke against his father or mother, he was always civil.

Anya could understand his position from his shoes. What affected her more about this was if Liam cared so much about Alvin, why didn't Liam tell Alvin anything about her?

Alvin had the same questions. He asked through his teeth, "Why didn't you tell me?" Liam knew he was looking for her.

Liam knew this was his main mistake. That time, he felt it was the right thing. Instead of justifying his actions, he asked Alvin, "What would you have done if I had told you?"

Gianna had fueled Casper's anger against Anya. Alvin was losing his start-up and didn't have enough power to protect Anya from the two. Anya was still a student at Imperial University.

If Alvin had reached Anya, it would have fueled the fire. Casper would have done everything in his power to make the whole Owen family suffer using his connections. And also affect Anya's whole education life.

Liam had no idea about Anya's pregnancy, which they could have probably used to change the situation.

Alvin's face darkened at Liam's questions. He didn't leave the country because Casper pulled his investments or he feared Casper.

He left the country so that Anya should not be troubled by Casper or Gianna if he stays back and also because he wanted to get away from Casper's clutches.

If he had met Anya and got to know she was pregnant with his baby, he would have fought against the world to take care of her and managed to survive his start-up.

Alvin had the choices. Unfortunately, Liam didn't know that and saw Alvin just like himself, powerless, fearful, and helpless.

Anya could feel Liam was trying to protect Alvin from his parents' autocracy. But Alvin wasn't helpless or weak. Then he wouldn't have left the country to an unknown place and started from scratch.

Hoping Alvin hadn't trusted the wrong person for so many years and Liam was true to Alvin, Anya wished for Alvin to have a good relationship with one member of his family at least.

Anya held Alvin's fist seeing him glaring at Liam. "It's alright." Her voice was low, trying to calm him.

Alvin snapped at her due to his foul mood, "It isn't."

Liam was a bit startled hearing Alvin lose his control at Anya. He couldn't help but say, "Alvin, direct your anger at me." He would never want Alvin to hurt his wife when he was the one who messed up things.
