My Fiance Ran Away On Our Wedding Day novel Chapter 96

With a trance in her head, Anika went out of the orphanage alone and into the parked automobile at the door.

As she got inside the car, Zac saw her eyes were vacant and frowned in bewilderment.

He opted to call up the navigation to Emerald Gardens first after checking the time on the vehicle screen.

The vehicle, however, was gently pulled over to the side of the road after a few minutes.

"Anika, why aren't you allowing me to drive?"

Zac smiled and lowered his eyes.

He helplessly looked at the person who was hugging him tightly and was leaning against his shoulder.

Anika didn't let go.

She stopped for a while and looked up at him.

Her voice was very low, "But I want to hug you now.Then ...Can you let me hug you and drive?"

Zac grinned as he lifted his brows.

With his remaining hands, he unbuckled his seat belt, folded his two long arms, and brought her to his lap.

He had a taunting tone in his voice "Didn't you already have a good time with me the other day? Anika looked at his handsome eyes, her hand slowly touching his jaw, her voice slightly soft, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Hmm? What should I tell you?"

With drooping eyes and a nonchalant tone, he gazed at her.

"You requested Mr.Kes to send me the beautiful presents I received that Christmas” Anika said, pausing for a minute before continuing, "You begged Mr.Kes to send me the wonderful things I received that Christmas.’ 

He was also the one in charge of Mr.Kes's affairs.

Deon was a buddy of his, and it was only because of him that he was able to assist him at the time.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

She stubbornly asked again.

Zac finally understood her emotions.

He smiled helplessly and rubbed her head, "At first, I didn't think it was necessary.’ 

Yasmin handed up the priceless presents because she realized Demi had felt too guilty when he left out of school, and she had overlooked something.

He considered returning it to Anika after receiving it, but as he turned back, he noticed that she had put on another item that Kayden had given her.

As a result, he grew enraged and refused to give it to her.

She later encountered Nataly by accident and learned that the other group was also carrying a lucky charm bracelet.

It was only then that she realized it had been handed to her by their dean.

Mr.Kes grasped Anika's personality when he sent it to her.

He was well aware that she would not fall in love with him simply because she had bestowed the priceless presents onto him.

Instead, she'd feel as though she owed him something, which would just add to her anxiety.

He couldn't stand the thought of letting go of her guilt.

He didn’t want her to feel bad about him, either.

Moreover, at that time, he had no way to get to her.

Hearing his casual tone, Anika stared at the man's pitch-black eyes.

Her eyes were moist and her head was buried beside his neck.

She muttered, "Hun, I'm sorry”

 "Apologize for what?"

"I've kept you waiting for a long time.'' She wasn't going to fall in love with Zac simply because she owed him a favor.

She may even decide to depart after everything was settled with.

But now that she knew it was him, Anika was irritated and distressed, but she also felt...

It was fortunate that he was the one she adored.

Anika wished for someone to love her unconditionally, but when she received it, she couldn't help but feel terrible for him because he sacrificed so much to others during his lonely years.

Zac had already known about her misunderstanding.

And she didn't even notice his emotions at that time.

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"
