My Fiance Ran Away On Our Wedding Day novel Chapter 30

Tony took a long time to respond.

At the same time, Anika had already exited the kitchen, carrying a batch of freshly cooked crabs.

Zac walked into the dining room and took a seat.

Anika approached him and presented him with the freshly cooked crabs.

Zac smiled as he grabbed the fried crabs.

The caretaker, Boris, was well aware of Anika’s fondness for crabs, so he purposefully left the best and the biggest box for her to take.

She peeled the crab flesh and roe from the two crabs and placed it on the plate beside her, creating a little mound.

Zac remained still.

He simply took a quick glance at her.

After a brief pause, he abruptly stated, "When you were younger, what type of martial arts did you learn? Did you learn it because of Demi?"

On a journey to find a lady fifteen years ago, Anika's father and his wife were cruelly crushed by a landslide.

Her father, Elliot Meyer, had no other children.

Only Oliver, Anika's uncle and Elliot's son-in-law, was left.

Oliver had always been nice to Elliot for more than ten years.

Even if Elliot didn't like him at first, it was still hard for Elliot to avoid repaying Oliver for what he had done to him.

Even if Oliver were to do something that would harm Anika, Zac knew that Anika had planned ahead.

Her grandfather, on the other hand, has yet to make a move.

Because of this, she was still pretty relaxed.

Shawn was fired as soon as he returned, according to Anika.

Even if Oliver didn’t want to go head-to-head with Shawn, he could tell how much Anika despised him.

So Oliver was also pretty relaxed due to the situation.

Thinking of Tony's words, Zac's deep eyes were filled with more curiosity.

"Indeed."

Anika looked up at him and smiled, "What other reason would I be willing to learn martial arts apart from Demi's influence?"

She didn't want to talk too much about the Cooper Family to Zac.

Back then, when he saw her in the clubhouse, he lazily asked her why she was learning how to fight.

Anika mentioned Demi briefly but all she said was gibberish.

Zac didn't get the information that he wanted.

However, this was only one of the reasons for her willingness to learn fighting.

The other reason was related to Shawn.

Shawn often went to the Meyer residence in high school.

And the Cooper family even wanted to make Shawn like Anika.

Shawn was later persuaded to go to her room and hide something.

Unknown to him, he was tricked by Anika.

Shawn was terrified by Anika's sleepwalking.

That was simply because she held her sword in her hand whenever she sleepwalked.

Of course, Shawn could run faster, and Anika wouldn't be able hurt him at all.

However, Shawn was so frightened that she could only slash him meaningfully.

Ever since then, Shawn had avoided her and never dared to bother her again.

She understood that Shawn was too timid.

And the difference in strength between them was great.

It truly wasn't a bad thing for a girl to learn self-defense.

Anika pulled her thoughts away, and saw that the crab in front of Zac remained motionless.

"You're not eating?"

Zac's gaze paused on the crab.

He pursed his lips and said, "I don't eat much of seafood.”

Anika looked at him and saw that he was too lazy to bother answering more.

She thought that he didn't want to peel the crabs because they needed a lot of effort.

So he sighed and handed over the plate of meat to her, "Here."

For her, it wasn't a bother.

She could skim through a crab quickly because she was familiar with it.

She got used to his attitude, so there was no need to argue with him.

Zac's gaze lingered on the plate of crab meat for a moment.

Then, he slowly took a piece and picked his phone up to take a picture.

"Why are you taking pictures?"

Anika looked at him suspiciously.

"Tony said that if you have nothing else to do, you can send photos to your circle of friends."

He raised his eyebrows and said in a loose voice, "I'll eat this one so I won't be labeled as rude."

With that said, Zac had already opened his Viber, added the photos, and clicked send.

Tony prepared a few popular scientific subjects for Zac while searching for crematorium literary topics on his laptop.

Moments later, he opened his Viber and saw the photos from Zac with no accompanying text.

He was stunned speechless for a few moments before realizing what was going on.

He grinned and complimented the other party.

He realized that the plate of crabs in the photographs had been particularly prepared for his good friend, Zac, by Anika! Tony felt conflicting emotions as he stared at the screen.

‘How could I doubt Sister-in-Law's affection for Zac?’ 

After eating the crabs, Zac went to the kitchen and washed the dishes.

Zac thought that it was good to personally wash the dishes.

He had bad memory with technology.

Despite the fact that he had a dishwasher at home, he insisted on doing the dishes personally.
