His Devious Rule

Sunday morning,

Zane excitedly woke up early as it was his skating day and they were going out to shop. Getting fresh, holding the skaters in a hand, he sprinted to Anya\'s bedroom.

Finding it empty, he went to the gym where Alvin was working out. He was considering checking other places but paused. He realized that he was trying to avoid Alvin. And his mother told him that it was her choice to hide him from Alvin.

He turned to where Alvin was working out and asked, "Mr. Matthews, may I use your mobile for a minute?"

Alvin left the barbell and turned behind to see the little man. Like always, he looked confident facing him.

But why is this Little Brat so courteous today?

After knowing his mother will be dating him, Zane always challenged and demanded to irritate him.

Alvin pointed at a bench where his mobile was lying. However, before the little man could approach his mobile, he deduced Zane\'s intention by looking at the skates, "Your mother is asleep in my room."

Zane nodded and turned towards the door to leave before it flashed to him. He is aware couples do sleep together in a room but the two weren\'t married.

Turning back, Zane threw his question with a suspicious gaze, "Why?"

Was he answerable to the little kid… Bodyguard?

Alvin told him the half-truth, "She dozed off while talking to me." Well, they were doing something more and he had to stop himself before losing control. He was still baffled how she was able to doze off when he had to take a cold shower.

Zane\'s next question was like an arrow that was aiming at the bull\'s eye of the target, "Why didn\'t you carry Mommy to her room?"

Alvin could easily carry Anya as he had seen Alvin doing so. So why did Alvin have to take Anya to his room?

Alvin: "…"

Alvin was suddenly out of sorts without knowing how to answer Zane. Could he give an unreasonable response to his little enemy too?

He tried to push the question onto Anya, "Why don\'t you ask your mommy?"

Well, Alvin underestimated his little enemy. Zane\'s other arrow hit the bull\'s eyes taking no time, "Wasn\'t that your responsibility to take my Mommy to her room when she fell asleep?"

Why will his sleeping mother know about Alvin\'s actions?

Alvin gritted his teeth. The little brat was interrogating him like his mother when at work. Shouldn\'t he be like a little goofball? Easy to fool?

"Zane Owen, I have a big mattress to fit her with me." He scoffed and continued his workout.

Zane pursed his lips without knowing how to retort to Alvin\'s words.

Are the dating couple allowed to sleep together?

He glared at Alvin for a few seconds.

Who was this Chipmunk Monster trying to fool? What if the mattress was large? There are many rooms in the mansion,

Suddenly, a sheepish grin appeared on Zane\'s face, "Chipmunk Monster, I will be sleeping with Mommy and you from today. I am sure I can easily fit in on your bed." Ending with a hint of sarcasm, he marched out of the gym with a triumphant smile.

Alvin: "…"

He was inarticulate with the counter strike. Even if he wanted to strike back, his opponent announced his victory by leaving the gym.

Unawarely he recalled his Little Donut\'s words for Casper at the police agency. \'You are living in the glasshouse, but me.\' This Little Monster was so like his mother.

,m Anya, who was sleeping peacefully unlike her early morning routine, heard a sweet voice as little fingers brushed on her face to remove her hair. "Momma, shall I get your breakfast here?"

Stretching her arms, Anya pulled the little man into her arms. "My baby." Her groggy voice trailed. "Why did you wake up so early?"

Smelling the freshness of his shower gel, "My baby has showered too."

Zane sighed like an old man while letting her hug him. "Momma, it\'s eight in the morning."

Anya opened her eyes in jerk. It had been a long time since she overslept. "Skating!!" She exclaimed and quickly got off the bed. She ran towards the wall thinking she was in her room.

"Huh?" She looked around before recalling she had dozed off in Alvin\'s room.

\'Why do I become a pig when I sleep with Alvin?\' She thought before looking at her son. She hadn\'t spoken anything about two adults living in the same room. So she was expecting some questions.

Zane, who was panicked seeing her run towards the wall, shook his head in resignation. His mother behaves like a little girl out of her mind due to Alvin.

Anya awkwardly smiled while surprised he asked her nothing. "Does my baby want a smartphone?"

She is aware he should have checked a few places before reaching there. She felt bad thinking he would have to run around in the mansion to find her.

Zane shook his head promptly, "No, Momma, I don\'t need it until I am a teenager." He got off the bed as he added, "We are anyway going to our new home." Their new home wasn\'t so big that they needed a mobile to reach each other. He will just have to call, \'Mommy\' and she will respond or appear in front of him.

Anya: "…"

\'Why do I feel like he is eager to get me out of the Oasis  mansion?\'

Anyway, she nodded, pleased by her son\'s idea. "Then I will go get fresh."

Alvin had his work to do, so he left Rob with Anya and Zane who skated a long time before going out to shop for some required things for Zane\'s return to school.

….

After a long day, Exhausted, Zane leaned on his mother in the backseat of the car. He played a car race, snuggling his face against Anya\'s warm palm.

Anya hadn\'t disturbed Alvin who didn\'t reach out to her either. "Mr. Robertson, is Alvin free for dinner tonight?"

Rob glanced at the mirror and focused back on the Sunday traffic of the city. "Ms. Owen, Mr. Matthews will be home late tonight. Please plan your dinner accordingly."

Anya nodded but a faint pout appeared on her face. Why doesn\'t she know anything about Alvin but Rob was aware of everything.

She would like to be a normal couple who knows about each other rather than learning about each other through another person.

Her fingers stroked her son\'s squishy chubby cheeks as fell into her world of thoughts. \'Where are we going wrong? Should I ask him in particular? What if he gets irritated? He might think I am keeping a tab on him…\'

\'Ring… ring…\'

Her thoughts broke when her mobile rang displaying Senon\'s number.

Zane passed the mobile to Anya, "Momma, Brother Senon."

Anya answered the call and Senon hurriedly spoke, [Skye, I need your help immediately. I wouldn\'t have disturbed you if Sister Luna was in the city… Where are you, Skye? Could you please help me out? Please, please… Skye…] He requested as though she was the only solution to the crisis.

Senon didn\'t say it was Jason\'s deliberate suggestion to get Anya involved in the work, the work she loved doing. That way, she could return to the job.
