Seeing the Walker family failing to impress Anya and her smart son, the Steven family took the chance and spoke, "The family gets strong by spending time together and working hard towards achieving the common goal."

Zane felt half of the words fly over his head. They have to support each other to achieve their goal. But 'The common goal?'

Zane went and sat on the other armchair and asked. "What is the common goal?" He was ready to improve his knowledge.

Father Steven responded politely, "Planning for the future. Education of children, travel, and family time."

Zane was curious about this new way. He turned to Anya and acknowledged, "Momma, this is interesting."

Anya smiled in response but her head started throbbing with these people's nonsense. Does she look like a fool to believe them even if she wasn't married?

Father Steven was elated by Zane's response. He proceeded with the next step, "My son is hardworking and responsible. Focusing on work, and making savings for his future wife and family, he never got a chance to date. When we got to know about Ms. Owen, we came here with the marriage proposal."

Anya was about to interrupt when her little guardian spoke for her, Zane mused, "Oh since my Momma is married, did you come here with the proposal for my Momma's cousin." Her cousin was also Ms. Owen.

Anya almost choked her spit. How did her son know her cousin was there? She looked at her cousin who was wordless.

Mrs. Nicola Owen immediately interrupted, "No, no,... She is still young." Stevens was thirty-five.

"My mommy and her cousin were born in the same year. Am I right grandma?" He had heard about all these when staying with Dennis and Catalina.

Catalina glanced at Nicola Owen, finding them wicked. She wondered if Nicola's fondness for Anya in the past was just a facade. She nodded at Zane and responded, "Absolutely."

Flustered, Mrs. Nicola Owen blurted out pointing her hand at Zane, "But Anya has you. She has to make some compromises in marriage." 𝒇𝘳𝐞𝚎𝓌𝑒𝑏𝒏𝑜𝙫ℯl.c𝚘𝒎

"Nicola." Catalina grunted, "Mind your words." She snapped at her, worried about Zane who would get very sensitive if Anya faced any difficulty because of him.

Zane's face fell when he heard Anya will have to make compromises for having him. He turned to Anya who went on her knees in front of him.

Anya caressed his cheek with a faint smile to assure him. Her soothing voice was like a lullaby on the ears.

"Baby, Mommy hasn't compromised. Instead, I was able to get the prestigious award because my baby supported me, and encouraged me. I wouldn't have achieved anything if I didn't have you." It was the truth.

The smile bloomed back on Zane's face hearing Anya. He looked at Mrs. Nicola Owen and flatly responded, "Mrs. Owen, my momma is married without any compromises." His mother doesn't have to make any compromises to marry anybody else.

"Compromises!?" A cold but magnetic voice grabbed everyone's attention.

Alvin stood in the hallway, looking all snazzy in a stylish suit with the perfect hairdo. His long overcoat highlighted his tall frame and broad shoulders. Even the local brand suit on his physique looked expensive. He was a treat to the eyes.

Zane couldn't believe he was right with his deduction. Alvin was grumpy in the car for his attire. Zane looked at the strangers around. Alvin got a clean sweep just by appearing there.

Anya stood up, watching her husband who smirked, meeting her eyes. She didn't know he cared so much about his appearance in front of other people when she was already his wife.

Alvin passed a few bags of sweets and chocolates to Dennis as he greeted and wished them, "Mom, Dad, congratulations on your daughter's award."

Catalina who was enjoying the people watching Alvin with wide eyes, grinned ear to ear hearing Alvin. Dennis was also overjoyed hearing Alvin.

Zane shook his head in resignation. Chipmunk Monster doesn't do anything like normal humans, yet he manages to achieve his goal. He looked at Anya who was obviously touched by hearing Alvin. Now there was happiness in her eyes for the award.

'Mom, Dad?' Others were stunned when they heard the handsome man calling Dennis and Catalina mom and dad.

Alvin ignored the eyes and continued, "I have appointed some guards. They will stop the media from entering inside or troubling you."

Anya had totally forgotten about it. It won't be long until the media will find out about her and reach there. She couldn't believe Alvin was taking care of everything while leaving like a grumpy man. Even Zane was impressed by his father.

Alvin asked as he went to Anya, "What are you guys talking about?" Well, he had heard his little enemy's cold voice, defending Anya and their marriage.

Zane responded to tease him, "Mommy got two arrange marriage proposals."

Alvin pretended to be cool while his cognac eyes turned dark, brushing over the two men. He scoffed in his mind finding them much older and unfit to even stand next to his wife.

Alvin tousled Zane's hair to irritate him and embraced his Little Donut. He whispered, "So how was your husband's entry?" If he had told her he needed to change clothes and make arrangements, she definitely wouldn't have agreed and handled it on her own. So he had to get out of the car and send them first.

Anya giggled softly. Alvin would have scored a hundred on ten even in the tracksuit. "Childish."

Catalina silently enjoyed watching Alvin purposefully being lovey-dovey to the eyes of people. She was elated seeing the punched faces.

Wrapping his arm around his wife's shoulder, Alvin glanced at others who ruined their day. He didn't even get to see his Little Donut's excitement for the award due to these people.

Anya glanced at her son and winked before introducing her husband, "Let me give a short introduction. He is Alvin Matthews, the handsome father of my son."

Everyone gasped understanding Alvin was Zane's biological father. They couldn't believe Anya had her one-night stand with such an elite man.

Zane went to Alvin's arms and continued, "Meet my father, Alvin Matthews, my mommy's dashing husband."

Alvin: "..."

That was the coolest introduction he ever got. The introduction didn't have his money, his achievements, or the Matthews family. Just him.

"Anya, you are married!?" It was her cousin's exclamation staring at Alvin.

Anya was finding everything hilarious and light after Alvin came. She wouldn't have endured anything if he had come with her. Pinching his waist under the jacket, she responded to her cousin, "Yep."

"Wasn't it a one-night stand with an unknown man?" It was Walker.

Alvin narrowed his eyes at Anya hearing as 'an unknown man.' He took his hand away and shrugged her hand. 'Heartless woman.'

She should be grumpy at him, why was he getting angry at her?

She responded, "We have known each other for seven plus years." She had to lie as she didn't know him so that they don't try to reach him and nobody hurts Alvin.

"You-you are Alvin Matthews." Everyone turned to Stevens, the MNC employee, "President and founder of Skylark." He gasped.

Meanwhile in the capital, Exhausted Ean was sleeping over on his Sunday when his mobile started buzzing in silent mode.

He ignored his mobile on the side table for a long time before he grabbed it and placed his mobile on his ear. "This better be important." He mumbled groggily.

His secretary's panicked voice sounded, [CEO Watson, President Matthews is caught in a scandal. It's going viral over the internet.]

Ean opened his eyes wondering if he heard it right. His secretary continued by reading the catchy headlines of articles.

[Husband cheated on his presidential awardee wife.

Love or hype?

Won an award, and lost her husband.

Duty...]

"What!!??" Ean cut in. He wasn't sure if he was most shocked by the scandal or the presidential awardee Anya Owen.
