Time flew fast for the almost one-year-old Anaya who was enjoying her new life every day, been doted upon her parents and her two brothers. Even the numerous employees on the Alexander mansion couldn't help but dote on their tiny mistress as they were all extremely overjoyed to get a glimpse of her angelic smile.

Sometimes Anaya couldn't help but think that the reason why she was given the chance to retain her memories from the past must be because God did not want Callie and Damiens' child to be a little tyrant when she grew up. After all, with all the doting she gets from her family, it would be impossible for her not to be a spoilt brat when she grows up unless she was a working adult in her soul already that she did not care for the luxury.

What she did not know was that Callie and Damien were very responsible parents. After all, they already had brought up Owen and Ethen by themselves and the two youngsters were not spoilt at all. Both the boys were responsible and kind. While they naturally had the aura of young masters, they never abused the power they had.

But for Aanaya who was a child who did not fuss much, ask much from the beginning, both Callie and Damien knew that this child would turn out well even if they doted on her to death. Afterall, Anaya already possed the proper young mistresses attitude when she was just two months old. Which child would be able to talk properly when they are not even one year old? Only a genius would. This was why they unhesitantly doted on her all the time knowing the kids already had a mentally of a proper child who knew what's right. 

Not only the Alexander family, but even the Ice cold Hugo Brooks also doted on Anaya a lot. He who was a regular visitor of the Alexander mansion now was used to taking care of the tiny angelic baby who was making his frozen heart, thump a bit.

Although Hugo was awkward at the beginning, not knowing what to do, he gradually got used to taking care of Aanaya. Of course, he was under the supervision of the two overly protective tiny brothers of Aanaya most of the time, who criticised him to no end whenever he did something wrong. however, they all managed to coexist now as Anaya would be so joyous whenever everyone was around. Even if Hugo Brooks was an extremely busy man, the boss of them all, Callie made sure that he babysits Anaya once a week without fail. 

Incase if somedays Hugo had to go halfway through the day when he was babysitting for urgent business matters, he was forced to come and attend the Alexander family day on Sunday which Hugo Brooks reluctantly had to agree on.

Today was one of those Sundays where everyone came out to one of the private beaches owned by the Alexander family. as well And Hugo who was out of the country for a business meeting up until yesterday was dragged into the event as well. 

With clear sand and low tides, it was a perfect place to relax. And as a tradition, all the employees of the Alexander mansion were brought out to enjoy as well while they shifted the workforce by one half working while the others relax and vice versa every hour making everyone happily give all to their work. 

What most of the high society did not know was how humane the Alexander family was with their private employees. Although the family appeared very cold and distant, they actually treated everyone who worked under them with care. This not only made their employees happy, but this also gained the undying loyalty of the people who worked under them as they knew very well that they would not get any employer who would be this caring and generous towards their employees. 

However, they all were all made clear on one thing before they were hired. Until they did their part and be loyal to the Alexander family they would get the powerful families protection and care. However if one were to betray them, a punishment worse than death would fall upon them. This was an unspoken rule everyone knew in society.

Coming back to the present, When Anaya overheard that Hugo was forced to come, she couldn't help but squeal in happiness making the three boys in the family's face go sour as if they were forced to bite into a lemon. Jealousy wise, both the sons and the father were equally fuming with it whenever it was related to Hugo Brooks.

What pissed the trio most was how Hugo Brooks appeared to be an unmoving Ice block as always. The man didn't show any facial expressions even in regards to Anaya who still smiles brightly at him with warmth whenever he was around.

His robotic expressions offended the three boys for mainly two reasons. One - they didn't like the affection their little angel is giving the man and two - even with all that angelic smiles the ice block was getting, his expression would not change at all for which they found it ridiculous. 

How on earth can one not be dazzled by their families angles smile? Utterly ridiculous.

Now at the beach, Anaya was dressed in a pink flamingo design swimwear which had ruffles at the skirt and pink flip flops. with the tiny pink bow on her head and her sweet giggles, she ended up bedazzling everyone around her with no effort. 

Callie who was taking photos with her camera, as usual, was sporting a blue bikini showing off her beautiful figure which had not changed a bit even after birthing two children by now. With her long beautiful pink blond hair in a messy bun and oversized shades resting on her head, Callie had a blue beach sarong tied on her hips with tiny pink flamingos printed on it matching Anaya's swimsuit. 

The brother duo and their father who were flaunting their figures with no shirt on had blue beach shorts which also had the same tiny pink flamingo pattern printed due to Callies influence. Not that they cared now how childish their shorts looked as all three men in the family were used to it. 

Callie had prepared so many family outfits, that the boys had no choice but to wear according to their mothers' wishes even though the pink flamingo pattern on their shorts was not up to their tastes.

While her two brothers and father were running around playing beach dodge ball, her mother Callie was furiously taking pictures making the shutter of the camera go on nonstop. Jonathan their main butler was keeping the score for them while the main chef was setting up a barbeque under a shade of a coconut tree for them to eat. 

Other than that, in the employee area which was separated for them to relax, several employees were already swimming on the sea and some playing around in the water, while some of them tanned under the sun lying on the beach chairs sipping on drinks. This overall gave the beach a lively atmosphere despite it been owned privately.

Sitting under the wide multicoloured beach umbrella Jonathan fixed up some time ago Anaya was lying on the doughnut looking brown inflatable lounge chair which was fixed on to the ground so it would not fly away to the sea breeze, lazily looking around to see all those drool-worthy specimens walking around. 

Of Course, she had her personal bodyguard Railey, assigned by her dad sitting next to her to look after her because she refused to go play as she just woke up from her nap.

Anaya couldn't help but lament in her heart of how good looking their employees were. Forget about men, even the women who worked for them had good fit figures making one envious. It was as if all the employees were fitness freaks with those abs they sported on their swimsuits. Being rich was such a fulfilling thing in Anaya's mind. She wondered if God was rewarding her for all the hard work she had done in her last life to foot into such fortune.

Now one thing we must not forget is that even though Anaya is still a toddler who has a hard time keeping her head straight on her small body, her mental age is of a mature twenty-eight-year-old. 

So in her perverted mind, the best thing to do at the moment was to couple-up good looking men together. As always she was and is a thorough Yaoi fangirl.

With a sippy cup full of freshly squeezed apple juice on her mouth, Anaya couldn't help but wonder where Hugo was while looking at the hot men running around. Should she pair him with a cute little guy as well instead of a girl? Incase of Hugo needing a child, he could always adopt, plus she was there as a kid as well? Her thoughts were going wild in her imagination as she leisurely drank her apple juice.

Then again she thought, not in hell her dad would share her with anyone else. Even one day she spent with Hugo was enough to make the man rage in jealousy. Sigh. Anaya couldn't help but mentally roll her eyes at that.

Looking around at the people nearby, Anaya noticed her mothers bodyguard. Though he was wearing just a plain white cotton t-Shirt, the man's figure was outstanding. Maybe she should try to hook him up with Hugo? After all, Hugo was way taller than this guy. They would look cute together with the height difference. The mighty COE and the cute little bodyguard. Not bad huh?

While Anaya was floating in her fantasies drooling a little, Hugo Brooks was approaching the tiny toddler who had twinkles in her eyes looking at the people around her while her tiny head was turning around left to right while her chubby legs were unconsciously up and waving in excitement. 

Hugo who had no idea he was being paired with guys at the moment would have killed himself a thousand times if he actually knew what was going on her tiny little mind.

When Anaya finally noticed the man, Hugo Brooks was already sitting on the sand ground beside her inflatable lounge chair. She couldn't help but squeal in happiness while clapping her little hands together to show off her enthusiasm of seeing her dashing ex-husband.

Getting up on the lounge chair with some effort after leaving the drink on the table next to her, Anaya pounced on to the man without a thought not concerned of hurting herself as she knew Hugo had extremely good reflexes that he would immediately catch her. 

Hugo Brooks who was dressed in simple black beach shorts and a loose white T-Shirt was quite a sight to behold. His short brown hair was messy giving the effect that the man must have come directly after his sleep. His handsome featured coupled with his icy frozen face, made him look even better.

Catching Anaya with ease, Hugo spoke. He still had his cold poker face on, however, if one were to deeply examine his face, they would discover that underneath all that frozen bravado, his eyes held a load of warmth when he was interacting with the little girl. 

Anaya who was used to Hugo's ways hugged his neck tight and giggled. 

Looking at him again she tilted her head with a pout showing him that she was been wrongly accused by him. Hugo could feel his mouth twitch at the antics of the little one. 

Hugo Brooks was still reluctant to call the little girl with her name. As much as he loved the name of his deceased wife, the tiny one reminded him of her over and over, every single time he spent time babysitting he would find things which remind him of his wife.

Not only the little Anaya called him just as his wife did, her mannerisms resembled her a lot as well. For him, the little one resembled so much of his deceased wife, he couldn't help but think that if they were lucky enough to have a child in the past, his and Anaya's daughter would exactly be like this.

While Hugo was lost in his thoughts, Anaya was busy examining the tattoos on the man's hand. Unlike three years ago before her death, Hugo brooks had full sleeve tattoos on both hands now. As he was wearing a loose white t-shirt, the designs stood out more prominently than before.

Sighing to himself, Hugo gave up arguing with the tiny little girl. She may not even a year old, yet her words and conduct were beyond her age. Whatever he said he still could not win against her.

nodding her head, Anaya cupped the man's jaw with her small hands gaining his attention to her.

Asking the guard sitting next to them who appeared in casual clothes as well, Hugo inquired.

Rowley inquired not minding that it was not his job to do so. After all, all he had to do was to guard the toddler. However, within the months he was appointed as Anaya's guard, he had grown very attached to the baby that he didn't mind going a step or two further on taking care of her. 

Settling Anaya on his Hands, Hugo stood up. Before walking towards Callie and the other three who were now playing with a beach volleyball, he made sure to put up a tiny sun hat on Anaya's head which he found from the baby bag.

Unknowingly to himself, Hugo Brooks was becoming a very doting parent towards Anaya despite his cold front.

Right when the Alexander trio noticed Hugo Brooks who was now carrying Anaya in his arms, the jealous trio voiced together extending their arms to get Anaya away from Hugo's arms.

Sigh, I'm so tired of dealing with these three. I mean I do get it, I must be adorable just for the fact of being Callies daughter, but still. You live with me every day.

Give this man a chance to hold me as well. I mean how on earth can I make him the old Hugo if this goes on. It took me months to make him at least this much talkative. With this pace, it will at least take me ten more years for him to look at another woman or a guy. And that is way TOO late. Sigh.

Being so used to her fathers and brothers jealousy towards Hugo, Anaya could only roll her eyes in her mind and lament while squealing in happiness in real-time looking at them. After all, she knew how much they adored her. So why not make everyone happy at the same time.

making her round eyes sparkle again Anaya spoke making sure to hug Hugo's neck tight so she will not be dragged away by her family. 

And she knew for a fact that her family could never say no to this little trick of hers. After all, look at the three men looking at her with helplessness and sourness of jealousy while Callie is laughing her head off. Even Hugos' mouth is twitching at the comical look of her father and two brothers.

All three whined as if they were beaten puppies. Anaya couldn't help but giggle at the sight while Callie who stood on the side looking at their interaction fell into a laughing fit once again while all the employees around them couldn't help but smile at their interactions.
