章 78: Revenge 77: Deciding On Their Own

"Is there a problem, Alfonso?" Layla asked her brother who's been sighing the whole time since the moment he got in the Robertson villa.

Alfonso looked at his sister and sighed again. Layla's left brow rose, Alfonso kept on sighing and sighing and it is getting on her nerves. Ever since she married Stan and become the head hostess of the Robertson family, Layla has become more patient than she ever was when she a young teen. But her brother is making her return to her old self if he is gonna continues this way and that wouldn't be too good for the both of them.

"If you sigh one more time, I'm gonna kick your ass out, brother. So if you don't want me to do that you better tell me what's bothering you." Hearing her threat, Alfonso gulped down in fear from his sister. His sister might have changed since she married Stan but that doesn't mean that former her is gone. The former is her is only sleeping waiting for someone to disturb its sleep to wreak havoc like she used to.

Without any other choice, Alfonso told her every single detail that happened earlier.

"What are you doing here? And what's with the luggage?" Standing by the door looking at the person who just came with luggage by her side, he added, "Did your mother kick you out or something, NaNa?"

"Nope, I came here on my own." She said with a smile on her face while Alfonso is staring at her questionably. Seeing the look on his face Anna immediately explain her reason for coming to his house. "My mother is going for a business trip, my brother is going for his first mission, and my grandpa is at the Coleman family vacation house, so basically I'm all alone at the villa and with that, I decided to stay here for a few days and before you ask I got permission from my mom, so there's no problem."

Suddenly Alfonso felt a headache. Seriously, in some ways Anna sure do reminds him of how Mary acted back in their days. Like deciding on her own without even telling him in advance that is what made him reminded of how Mary was and up until now, that is still the case.

Before Alfonso could even say something, a woman's voice was heard inside. "Alfonso, who are you talking to?" Suddenly the nerves in Alfonso suddenly tensed up and immediately look at Anna. But to his surprise, he saw a teasing smile in her face.

"Oh my... Uncle, I never thought that you're not the type of person that I've known."

"Kid, don't spout such nonsense! I am still that type of a person!" This young one is truly like her mother sometimes, she knows how to agitate him like her mother. Looks like Alfonso has to do a much better job on keeping Anna from becoming like her mother, an annoying type of a person in his life; his friends are enough to annoy him he doesn't want to add another to his list.

"Geez! Uncle Fonso, so hot-headed. And is this how you treat your guest now? You're not gonna let me in?" Somehow Anna felt that she is being treated unfairly by her uncle Fonso. Ever since she got to know that her uncle Fonso got himself a son and he is now more focus on Alexandre; Alfonso is not spoiling Anna like he used to, Anna felt lonely without her uncle Fonso spoiling her. Can a person change he or she got a child? But then again, she can see that her uncle Fonso is about is he is beside Alexandre; if her uncle Fonso is happy then she is happy too.

Sighing, Alfonso said dispiritedly, "Since you're already here, I guess no choice then." Hearing those words coming from Alfonso, Anna happily walked past him and entered his humble home.

As she walked inside she saw Pia sitting on a couch looking pale as the last time she saw her, Pia is also holding Alexandre in her arms lovingly. "Big sis Pia! I'll be under your care for a few days."

[Present]

"What's wrong with Anna staying at your place?" Layla asked confusedly. From her perspective, she doesn't see any wrong in Alfonso's story, if wanna stay in his house for the meantime why won't he just accept it? "I don't see any wrong if she stays in your house for a few days."

"Of course it is fine!" Alfonso blurted.

"If it's fine, then why do you kept on sighing? Do you know how annoying it is?!" She asked. Sometimes she just can't understand Alfonso, he is not specific enough on his words.

"Can't you see the bigger picture, sister?! Anna is deciding on her own without telling me! It's exactly the same as her mother deciding on a matter without telling anybody. And I'm afraid that my little NaNa might become exactly like her mother." So this is what made her brother kept on sighing? He's afraid that Anna might go wild like her mother in the past? This is so illogical in Layla's point of view.

Alfonso wants to say more but his phone suddenly rang, he looks at his phone and said, "Excuse me, it's my assistant, this might be work-related matter." After saying that he stood up and walked away to answer the call.

On the other hand, a certain young woman was quietly listening to her uncle Alfonso's story in the beginning to the end with that a light bulb suddenly lit up in her head. "Mom, the college that big brother is in is near where uncle Alfonso lives, right?"

Layla saw the smile on her daughter's face and she suddenly got the feeling that her daughter is being mischievous again. She carefully asks, "Yes, it is. Why do you ask?"

"He-he... Mom, let brother stay in uncle's house for a while. I'm worried that he is not eating well on his own on his apartment so I think it's better for my big brother to stay at uncle's." Layla was speechless very speechless and quite disappointed at her daughter. If she is planning on making her brother and Anna be together why does she have to make it so obvious?

Nevertheless, Layla also wants Anna and Kyle to be together so she thinks that this kind of plan is not bad and might work to make them a bit closer to together. She just hopes that her son won't screw it up.

After a few minutes, Alfonso came back and he was about to excuse himself because there's an emergency in work but her sister blurted something out of her mouth that made him forgot what's he is supposed to do.

"I want my son to stay in your house for a while." The corner in Alfonso's mouth twitches in annoyance, "I won't take 'no' as an answer, brother." Even his own sister is deciding on his behalf?! What do they take him for?!
