Babysitter For Rain
CHAPTER 59

Ana could not think clearly as Marius snatched away all the words he wanted to say. When his lips seemed to be locked by Marius, the man seemed to swallow all the words he was ready to say.

Once again, Marius released Ana and leaned on her forehead. Just then, Ana pushed Marius hard.

"P-responsibility a-what? I-I don't have any k-mistakes to account for," Ana snapped. He was still adjusting his breathing that had been messed up because of Marius earlier.

"You just cursed me, Ana. Did you forget? You pray that I don't marry forever" Marius said casually. He did not seem to feel guilty at all.

"W-how could it be s-my fault?"

Marius took his breath. He showed a face full of sadness.

"You know, don't you, Ana? If I don't get married, how can I give a sister to Rain? My wife should at least be able to give birth as ..."

"YESHH .... Stop that!"

Ana's hands shut Marius's mouth to stop him from finishing his sentence. As a result, Ana cannot hide her own face which is now very reddish.

"That's all your own fault. Y-you know Nora, but you're engaged to her."

Marius released himself from Ana's hand. Then he leaned his head over Ana's shoulder.

"What should I do, Ana? I want you, but you keep rejecting me."

"W-who said?"

Marius raised his head. "So you want to?"

"A-i ... I .. aahh, you were intentionally pranking me, right?"

Marius catches Ana who keeps hitting him. She held Ana in her arms.

Ana feels herself again trapped in the warmth that Marius gives her.

"I'm so glad you're no longer avoiding me, Ana," Marius said in a deep voice.

Hearing Marius say that, Ana suddenly realized that nothing had happened to her. There was no flash of memory appearing in his head.

"Truly too ... The therapy worked ...," said Ana who resigned in Marius' arms. He was also happy when he realized that. But it was too happy that he could not reveal it.

"Wait ..." Ana again encourages Marius to rid himself of the man. "You haven't explained why you're here?

"Meeting my hostess," Marius replied casually.

"J-don't joke, Marius!," Ana snapped annoyedly.

This time Marius realized it was no longer time to joke, or the girl in front of him would be really angry.

"I came here because I wanted to come here. I should have been here. Missed already?"

"No! How did you get here? You just got engaged."

"The engagement was just a deal."

"P-agreement? You lied. What agreement?"

"Why should I lie? I need that engagement to stop all those rumors."

"But ... but why Nora?"

"Because ARK Group is a large group of companies other than DYNE. There's another big group, but they don't have any women I can work with. So, Nora's the only option. If these two groups were put together then no one would be able to refute it. The rumor will stop by itself."

Marius rested his head on Ana's shoulder. "I want you, Ana. But, you yourself are in an unsafe position. You'll only be more insecure if I force us to get engaged."

"This is all to protect you. So they stop bothering you" said Marius who was still leaning on Ana's small shoulder.

Ana doesn't know she should be happy or sad. But clearly, the tears that had not come out even though he forced her, now came out willingly even Ana did not want it out. In that instant, Ana roared in her tears.

Marius was surprised to see Ana who was already in tears, especially when her cries were getting broken and loud. Although Marius called her name, Ana continued to cry without caring about anything.

"That means ... Now I'm officially a castor ...," raung Ana.

Marius just laughed hearing Ana say that. Slowly she pulls Ana in her arms and lets Ana cry over her chest that field. In her warm embrace, Marius continued to gently caress Ana's head, then kissed her gently.

Slowly, Ana's cries began to subside. Little by little, he began to rethink what Marius had already told him. Some things he could understand, but a few more made him even more unsettled.

"But, but .. that means you're getting married, right?," said Ana, still sobbing, holding back her tears. He let go of Marius' embrace and looked back at the man.

"Why? You're afraid I'll marry her?" seduced Marius.

Ana beat up Marius again. "I seriously asked." He stared in annoyance at Marius who even at a time like this the man did not stop teasing him.

"This status is only for a year. After I assist them in some cooperation projects, although not for a year, the agreement will be considered to be completed. And the engagement will be cancelled."

Both of Marius' hands held Ana's wet face with her own tears. He wiped away those tears with gentleness. Marius looked at Ana with his loving gaze. Ana was lulled by those two eyes.

"How can I marry someone else, Ana? I keep in mind there's this little girl who always said she wanted to marry me someday."

"You ..."

"You think I forgot about it? So, why did I come back here from France? Of course, to collect the promise of the girl. I was also worried that he would not get married because he was waiting for me. But, it turns out .. he forgot about it instead. I shouldn't believe what 4-year-olds say" said Marius, who still hasn't grown tired of teasing Ana.

"I didn't forget. I just can't remember" Ana scolded while taking her eyes off Marius.

Marius just smiled looking at the look on Ana's face which currently looks so adorable in her eyes. Whether it was when the girl was angry or upset, Marius never got tired of stopping looking at her.

"Why do you always follow me?" said little Marius annoyed.

"Mama Agnes said, you and I will get married in the future. So, I have to follow you," Ana said innocently.

"Look, yeah. Who said I wanted to marry you? Stop following me. I'm not marrying an ugly person like you."

"Say Mama, I'm beautiful. If you don't want to be okay, too. I will marry you later. You are still my prince."

"Take me off! I want to see Ana! I promised him!" cried Marius. He continued to rebel to release himself from the hold of everyone who wanted to hold him back.

"No, Marius. You can't see him right now. Ana is still hysterical considering the incident. If you see him, he'll get hysterical" said Ernest, his father.

"But, but ... I promised him, Pa. I promise ... if we get out of there .. I'll marry her one day," cried Marius.

"I'm sorry mom, baby," isak Agnes hugged her son. "I'm sorry mama .. but right now you can't meet. Not even my mom can see him."

"Go to France, Marius. After you finish your education, you can come back here. Pray, maybe after that, Ana is fine. And you will definitely meet again."
