Then they changed the subject to other matters, they are all went to their rooms to rest Anna went for a walk Anna had a lot on her mind she needs to settle all matters here before she went to check the little Blessing orphanage she felt guilty that the children and staff suffered while she was away she should have gone and check personally if she left here to check there she knew she would be there a while to sort things out. She was busy in her thoughts she didn't realise that Mu Yazhe had hold of her hand they walked for a while.
Mu Yazhe didn't speak because he saw she was deep in thought so he let her battle with her brain only the Lord knows what was going on in there? He wanted to talk to her about coming home but that was asking too much of her so the excuse his children had used was a better option.
Anna was so engrossed in her thought that she realised she made it near the sea only when Anna smelled the salted air that she figured where she was she looked forward and seen the sea the hand that held hers she tightens the grip on. Her steps froze she started shaken all the memory of jumping in the sea with Uncle Jack came flooding back getting thrown in the pool by Yazhe and getting flung into a river when the explosion at the warehouse, she turned and hugged Mu Yazhe tightly she had broken out in a cold sweat. The grip tightens and the breathing increased. She hid her head in his chest.
At first, Mu Yazhe thought his Little Demon was just hugging him out of the blue then he heard her breathing she was gasping for air and the sweaty hands that gripped his body, the strength inserted he knew something was wrong he looked down at Anna she was cold sweating he looked around then it hit him the sea Anna fear of water, he knew she was petrified been close to the sea, river, swimming pool, he remembers clearly he through her in the swimming pool he thought she was pretending not to know how to swim when saw blood and her panicking in the water until she stops moving.
Mu Yazhe looked at Anna and whispered:" keep your eyes closed I will your eyes and guide you back okay you can trust me no need to be afraid I'm here " he lifted Anna princess style and walked back with her and still had a tight grip on Mu Yazhe.
Anna whisper:" don't let go I'm scared don't let go Yazhe don't leave me this time don't let go"? She was petrified.
Mu Yazhe whispered:" I hope you can always hold me this tight and never let go come back into my life little demon I love you and miss you so much" he kissed her sweaty forehead.
Anna spoke her breathing was scattered:" I never let go I held on as long as could, Yazhe you're the one who let go of me! First, you left me and then pushed me out of your life! you were the one who chased me out of your life! you didn't even turn around to look behind at the pain and hurt and the tears you left behind then you completely severed your ties by breaking what was left of my heart it's broken how can you fix that" the tears we're now coming down. All that she was holding let go tears flowed like waterfall free at last.
Mu Yazhe whispered:" yeah it was me it's all my fault and I am sorry I made a mistake, I will mend the broken heart, but please help me by meeting halfway eh"? He pleaded he needed her to come to him.
Anna:" I have always made it to where ever you are I have always been halfway waiting for you to come back, and when you did you never turned around, when you did it was cold glares you showed hatred and hostility, I broke a bit by bit then you completely shatter me into tiny pieces, I am scarred emotionally, mentally, physically I am tired, I just want the pain to stop, I want to breathe without it hurting, it hurts too much Yazhe it's very painful and lonely it's very, very lonely here I have everyone around me but it's still lonely especially the nights they're are long " the tears had taken on their river off their own she had released what's there was inside of her she showed her vulnerable side her hard solid front was gone inside was a broken woman who kept herself busy so she didn't have to stop if she did she would break she didn't to be a burden she already been a big burden for her sister.
Mu Yazhe sighed deeply he was to blame Anna might look tough but she was just a human at the end of it and had feelings and hurt just like everybody else:" I am sorry I will spend the rest of my life making up for it and if you accept me wholeheartedly I will never let you be lonely ever again I am very sorry for causing such pain I promise I have always loved you and will love with all of my heart, you've always been the only one from when I was 12 years old and you alone your we're my first kiss my first-time my first everything I can't tell you how much, I love you, my life is all yours just forgive me and love like you did before "? He was so sorry he had today seen the pain and hurt he had given his Little Demon she only expressed a little grievance what she had hidden away he would fill the void left by him with love. He kissed her forehead again. He felt she was cold but clammy.
They didn't speak at all there was silent but it was unusual silent not intense or peaceful it was as they were contemplating their dilemma. Anna had fallen asleep in his arms but didn't let go of her grip was still tight. Mu Yazhe brought her back to her room trying to lie her on the bed she wouldn't release him she gripped even tighter he stared at her. Mu Yazhe knew she was sacred so she was holding him he wished she would grip him like this when she wasn't scared too.
Mu Yazhe knew Anna behaved like nothing bothered her but deep down it did bother her Anna didn't realise that Mu Yazhe had learned to read her eyes they always told him here true feelings they showed how broken she was. Slowly Anna released him as she went into a deep slumber. He looked at her for a long time the tears streamed down the face while she was asleep, she looked so cute he would never leave ever only death do them part Mu Yazhe promised himself. He had hurt too much he had a lot of work to bring her back to his side.
Mu Yazhe went to the bathroom brought a wet towel and cleaned her down changed her clothes, before he went to the shower he came back to see Anna spread out like squid he did the usual tickling to move then settle next to her while Anna turned him in her human pillow he would be very happy to to be a human pillow for the rest of his life he cuddles in and fell asleep.
In the morning Anna was already awake and getting all her work in order so she could go and check Little Blessing orphanage. She went to see the father as well she needed to find somebody reliable to manage the orphanage while she was gone, she decided to just all the orphanages that she ran in China to make sure they were running fine too so she knew she would be gone a while, she had her team of underworld shadow guards here too the people so she knew the children would be safe. She had a good heart to heart as well she also told the father about her and Mu Yazhe, finally, Anna asked him to take responsibility for the orphanage. The father gave her a piece of advice not to be too harsh on Mu Yazhe he was trying his best it showed how much he loved her. Anna smiles she answers but she only knew how deeply she hurt so Mu Yazhe had to try harder it was him that broke her. She would make work very hard.
Anna had completed one task now for the next one. She needed to settle all the children in and make sure they all what they needed. And the new families that had to arrive needed to be settled too. Anna had talked to the sisters about the family they brought they all decided that if they wanted to stay here they would be allocated jobs according to their ability and also be paid a wage too so they could reorganise their shattered lives.
Anna was hoping for some more chefs and farmers they only had a few and because a lot of people had come they needed all hands on deck to able to feed all the people here. Sisters had discussed that the lands attached to the back of the orphanage could be turned in to vegetables and fruit gardens so they could save money and it could be used elsewhere. And they could use other fields to rear animals especially chickens and cows they could safe money on eggs and milk they would have their meat as well which would save a lot of money, the repairs were taken off by the boys and they would keep an eye on the financial side of things so the orphanage won't fall into any problems.
Little did the sister's know that Anna was a billionaire she had enough to keep the orphanage going and they could have the best of the best but Anna was pleased with the idea it would work for the people that were here and the children could learn a thing or two Anna smiled and nodded she would a range ever before she left.
Anna was a busy bee she allocating all the jobs to everyone. Mu Yazhe watched his busy Little Demon he walked over and asked he kissed Anna on the forehead:" Good morning Little Demon any work for me" he smiled.
Anna smiled:" morning" she kissed him on the cheek she chuckled" yeah you know the family that we saved I need to know there background details we need to send someone to look into it. And also talk to them to see what if they want to stay and what jobs they can do and if they stay find suitable work they can do and sort their wages out so they have money in their pockets too" she breathed she had spoken too fast.
Mu Yazhe still had his hand on his cheek where Anna had kissed him was happy, he would anything for her:" okay I will get on Little Demon" he kissed her lips he stuck out tongue out and licked her lips before he left leaving a very stunned Anna. He smiled to himself as he looked back Anna still had her hand on her lips stood in a daze.
Mu Yazhe smiled at her shyness he loved stealing kisses leaving Anna stunned. He missed that the most he would never get tired of this. He wants to do more but he was always afraid of getting beaten by Anna if she too angry with him.
Anthony saw the two and chuckled as he walked over he had done the job he was allocated he came to tell her and find out what else needed doing. He stood back until they finished and saw his baby girl, left stunned by Mu Yazhe action she was still so naive when it came to love.
Anthony:" Hey baby girl my jobs all accomplished what else needs to be done"? He smiled at his baby girl who was stood in a daze.
Anna came in her daze to see Mu Yazhe was nowhere to be seen she looked at her Uncle and thought how embarrassing:" great uncle next assignment Uncle do you remember the lady we safe from the family Sofia we need to take her along with us and I need to take her back to the mansion we can't leave her here some people have been inquiring about her so it's best if we take her with us"? Not really she had seen Uncle getting along with her she was thinking if she could push them together maybe just maybe her Uncle could have a chance at happiness.
Anthony:" okay I will go and bring her she is simple and sweet I don't understand why they'd want to bully her"? He was smiling he like her but was afraid if he said something he would scare her.
Anna smiled she thought does my Uncle like her she had never heard him talk about someone with such a sweet look on his face she had an idea. Anna texted Mu Xingyan (Little Blessing):"[ hey little blessing could you help me out I am thinking of matching making Granddad Anthony and Sofia I need your help could you make sure that Granddad Anthony has to work with her closely and hopefully cupid will do his job too hehe]" she wanted to talk to her daughter so she thought this is the best way to start.
Mu Xingyan ( little Blessing):"[ okay Mummy got it I will do my best love, you Mummy]" she was happy her Mummy was back in her life she had missed her so much.
Anna:"[ love you]" Anna smiled.
