Alex was silent after listening to this.
Yes! He loved the army because they protect us not because he wants to join one.
Seeing Alex quiet, Anna thought she might have asked the wrong question. So, she changed the topic.
"Alex, Thank you," Anna said.
"Why? I didn't even do something."
"Hmm, You didn't did but I just feel like thanking you for not breaking up my trust." She was glad that he told her truth and listened to all her taunts.
"It was nothing. The most important thing was to keep you happy. Anna, I will never break your trust." Again. The last word was left in his mouth only.
Anna just smiled and started walking out. But she suddenly turned around and said, "Come, don't you want to go home?" she asked with a gentle smile.
Seeing her smiling again, Alex relaxed. He never wants her to cry again and especially because of him.
"Coming." Alex also took his bag and they both walked towards where the gate. There, they saw Alena and Reyan.
"Alex, remember of apologizing to Reyan." Anna whispered in Alex's ear. Her breath touched his ear and this sends an electrical current in his whole body.
His ear became red!
"I'm sorry dude for what happened before."
"It's okay. Just don't hurt Anna again." Reyan said in a threatening voice which contained a secret message-Hurt her and I will break your bones.
Alex nodded.
"Okay, guys I want to invite you all to my uncle's wedding. It is near so I thought of telling you guys in advance." Anna said to three of them.
"Isn't it too early Anna? You are telling us now!"
"So what? I haven't even decided what to wear. I'm his only niece so I need to look good." Anna proudly said. She liked to be center of attraction.
"You will look good in whatever your ear." Alex liked her in every dress. Even if she wears simple jeans and top, he will still like her.
"You say as if I'm a queen." Anna rolled her eyes.
Soon, they all went to their house. Alex wanted to ask her something but he thought of keeping it for another time.

Anna came back to home and saw her mother selecting dresses. Anna went from behind and hugged her.
"Mom....."
"What happened? Why are you being so lazy?" Mother knew her daughter was lazy whenever she did something wrong.
"I lost one of my friends completely," Anna said in low voice.
No matter what, she considered Tia as her best friend once. It was not easy for her to hit her. Anger had taken over her at that time, so she could courage to hit her.
Mother Marrie turned towards her. She made Anna sit with her.
"Anna, remember my words. In this life, you will find a lot of people who will backstab you. Many of them will be snakes, who will bite you from the back. But you can't fall into their trick. Understood?"
Mother Marrie was speaking from her own experience.
She went through the same. She had many friends who were jealous of her or we can say, were fake friends. But Marrie was smart enough to know their intention from starting.
"Hmm, don't worry mom. I know how to judge a person well." Anna got this seventh sense in her as well.
"Hmm, See. I brought these dresses for you.

On the other side, Liam was also trying a coat. "Sir, Which one did you like?"
Addie sent an invitation to him also. Not to him but to his parents. But they can't come because of some problems so he is going to represent the Walker family.
After all, it was his brother-in-law's wedding.
"Hmm, This one." Liam chose a white coat. he knew Marrie loved the white color on him and they both will wear matching clothes
