Chapter 63_ Press conference
Ethan took in a deep breath when he saw the way Kyle reacted to his words, the last thing he wanted was for Kyle to have another seizure by bringing that blood sucking woman into their conversation..
“Look Kyle the earlier you start doing the needful the better for all of us.. I’m sure your wife won’t be a burden she’s quite sensible”
Kyle hummed in reply but deep down he scoffed, of course she was a huge burden to him always looking for excuses to argue with him..

A sleek black car pulls up in front of a luxurious hotel entrance, with a red carpet leading up to the doors.
Kyle stepped out dressed in a black suit, he turned to assist Arya who emerged from the car wearing a stunning red dress.
They shared a brief smile before walking together towards the hotel entrance.
“Seeing that smile on your face makes me sick.. your teeth are all out and you look like a horse” Arya whispered beneath her breath which Kyle heard clearly.
He was just about to retort when the paparazzi and journalists swarm around them, snapping photos and shouting questions to them.
“Mr Anderson one moment please! tell us if she’s really your son’s nanny or not”
“Tell us ma’am are you in a secret relationship with Mr Anderson?”
Kyle squeezed Arya’s hands gently as they made their way past the reporters with the help of the guards who were shielding them..
They walked into the hotel lobby where a press conference sign and arrow pointed to the conference room.
They made their way through the crowd while Kyle nodded his head in exchange of greetings with some of the journalists..
Once they were inside the conference room, they took their seats at a table with microphones, flanked by a backdrop with the Anderson’s groups logo..
Kyle faced the audience who were sitting before him with a small smile..
“Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for joining us here today”
Arya smiled nervously and gave a small wave to them “Hello everyone”
Her heart was beating so fast maybe because this was her first time having to appear before so many journalists, she took in a deep breath to calm her nerves down..
“Mr Anderson is it true that she’s your son’s nanny?” A female journalist asked with her hands raised up a little above her head..
Arya bit her bottom lip, she was very sure of Kyle’s answer..
Kyle who noticed the look of discomfort on Arya’s face as soon as the question was asked placed an arm around her shoulder, Arya was caught off guard by the sudden movement.
“I was expecting to hear that and now let me clarify that, Arya Carter here is not my son’s nanny, I’m sure most of you here must have heard of Arya’s delight.. well meet the stunning lady running the restaurant”
Arya flashed a smile, she couldn’t believe what she just heard and to think that he even complimented her, there was a round of applause which made the grin on Arya’s face broaden..
“Well miss Arya how did you entangle with Mr Anderson?” A male journalist pointed out as soon as the applause died down..
Arya made a brief eye contact with Kyle, she tapped the mic gently and lowered her head a little bit..
“What can I say? ever since he laid his eyes on me, he can’t seem to let go”
Kyle snapped his head to her immediately, was she publicly speculating that he was into her?
Arya faced him with a small smirk, now it was her turn to teach him a good lesson..
“Does this mean you both are in a relationship?”
Kyle gave a firm nod “Yes we are.. and in a week’s time we will get married, it’s a little sooner than expected only because she can’t stand to see me with other ladies.. such a jealous woman” Kyle announced with a small smile..
Arya’s cheeks turned red that she could feel it getting hot, she raised her hand a little to block her face before sending a cold glare to Kyle..
“I’ll get you back” Arya said in a low whisper..
“You started it not me” Kyle retorted back with a shrug before looking forward once more..

Mia giggled staring at the large screen before her, she had a big bowl of chips on her laps which she ate frequently..
“So cute!”
Elizabeth nodded in affirmation, even if Arya and Kyle were not in good terms with each other, they still managed to put aside their differences in front of the media..
“I feel like Kyle is being bullied by Arya though..”
“Daddy deserves it.. he bullies Arya everytime” Ray interjected with a wide grin, he was the most happiest kid in the whole world..
Arya and his dad had finally agreed to get married to each other, his aunt was right when she said this scandal turned out to be useful in their plans..
“Oh.. that serves him right then” Elizabeth said accompanied by a light chuckle at Ray’s words..
Mia dipped her hand into the bowl to grab some chips but caught the air in return, she looked at the empty glass bowl and pouted..
“Oh gosh.. I’ll get more chips” Mia spoke out and stood up leaving the living room..
Ray turned to the direction she left and also tailed behind her..
“I also need a tasty snack aunt Mia”
Few minutes after they were gone Elizabeth screamed out in shock and horror pointing to the screen..
Mia and Ray ran out of the kitchen and came to stand by her side..
“Mum what’s wrong?”
Elizabeth pointed to the screen fidgeting “I saw her, she was standing over there”
Mia glanced towards the large flat screen TV to see what her mum was pointing to, all she could see was Arya and Kyle, so what else was she missing?
“Who?”

A reporter bent down to pick his microphone after a lady hurriedly bumped into him on her way out of the room..
Arya and Kyle diverted their attention to the lady who just scurried out of the room..
“Are there any more question to ask?”
“Miss Arya Carter how do you feel learning that Mr Anderson here was already involved with another woman and even had a child with her before you came along?”
Arya faced the lady with a small smile even though deep down her mind was in conflict, how on earth was she supposed to reply to this question she has been avoiding..
“Well.. that doesn’t matter to me at all.. I believe everyone has a past, but I genuinely love Ray Anderson regardless of whether he’s my biological son or not”NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
The reporters lips curved upward into a sly grin, she pulled out a sheet of paper containing a ton of questions she needed to ask Arya.
“That’s bold, not every lady will accept that.. moving on to the next question ma’am.. how would you feel once Ray’s birth mother suddenly pops up demanding Ray’s custody?”
The room fell into a pin drop silence, only the flashing clicks from the camera’s were heard..
Arya diverted her gaze to Kyle hoping he’ll help her out on this one and to her surprise Kyle stood up from his seat and pulled her up too with him..
“This press conference is over!”
“I don’t think so Mr Kyle Anderson” A lady’s voice resonated from the back..
