章 58: His influence on her

Near swimming pool,

Linus saw Anya sitting under the sunshade with the hearths on four sides to keep the temperature warm around her. She was facing a mobile that was inclining against the water glass and her lunch was getting cold on the table. 

As he went closer, he saw a little boy on the mobile screen doing actions. Further closer he went, he heard Zane's baby voice exclaiming about delicious food on their vacation, Anya was hearing him attentively and responding to him with equal excitement.

Linus expected Anya to scowl at him when she sensed his presence but she was calm. Linus thought it might be because of Zane's eyes on her. Without permission, he appeared on the video call standing behind her, "Hey, Little Prince..." He waved his hand with a cheery voice greeting her son.

Zane dislikes 'Little' so he wanted to ignore Linus. Since it's bad manners, he waved his hand, "Mr. Collins." He greeted Linus just like he had heard his mother address him.
