"Thank you," the man replied.

Anna didn\'t reply and only responded with a nod. Trying to contain her curiosity and confusion.

"Who do you live with?" Aaron asked after putting the glass in his hand back on the table.

"Sorry. It\'s not that I don\'t want to answer your question. It\'s just, I find this a little strange. You suddenly appeared here. I don\'t know your identity at all, and why have you come here. With just those two things, I think, I have no reason to answer your question, sir. I\'ve even been kind enough to give you a drink," Anna replied at length.

Aaron was stunned for a moment, but only for a few seconds, and his laughter broke out. Fill the room.

Anna\'s brow furrowed even more.

"Alright, alright, I\'m sorry. You seem to be growing up well, young Lady Claire," said Aaron Smith after ending his laugh.

"I\'m not Claire. I\'m Anna," Anna said flatly.

"You are wrong people, sir," she added.

"No, I\'m never wrong," said Aaron not wanting to lose.

And after that, the man told Anna everything, about the woman\'s true identity, about the Smith family, also about the accident that happened to her parents when they were little. Not only that, but Aaron also said that Anna was the only heir to the wealth left by Jason Smith, Aaron Smith\'s older brother.

Anna just listened silently, not seeming to have any desire to interrupt or ask any questions. Trying to digest everything the man in front of her said.

"Ah yes, I almost forgot, this is a photo of you when you were little, Claire," said Aaron as he handed Anna a photo.

"You can probably see the birthmark on the little girl\'s body, right? That\'s you," she added.

And sure enough, the birthmark visible on the little girl\'s photo was the same as hers.

"I\'m not wrong, am I? Anna, it\'s a name given by a husband and wife who have been kind enough to help my nephew. Your real name is Claire Smith, you are my long-lost niece," Aaron said in one breath.

Anna\'s head throbbed knowing all these facts. How come?

"I\'ve been looking for you for years, Claire. And what a fortune to meet you, even though I was already feeling hopeless."

"M-me? Claire?" stammered Anna, still with her eyes fixed on the photograph in her hand.

"That\'s right, Claire Smith, heir to the Smith family\'s fortune," replied Aaron with a nod.

As if struck by lightning, Anna froze in place again. Her hands seemed to be shaking. Whether she realized it or not, the clear beads slowly flowed obediently to form creeks on her two cheeks.

She had never imagined anything like this before. Suddenly her chest tightened, the memory of how she had survived all this time swirled like a broken record in her head. No wonder, her father treated her like that after her mother died, because apparently, she was not their biological child.

"Why? Why are you crying? did I say something that hurt you?" asked Aaron suddenly panicked to see the girl in front of him sobbing.

Anna didn\'t respond and only responded with a shake of her head.

Aaron who saw that took a deep breath, then decided to be quiet. Waiting for his nephew to speak again.

"So-so you are my Uncle?" Anna stuttered after a few minutes had passed. She couldn\'t define the kind of feelings that filled her right now, sad, happy mixed into one. She who had been feeling alone in this world, it turned out that she still had a family who had been looking for her for years.

Hearing the woman\'s question, Aaron nodded confidently. "Right, you can call me whatever you want," he said.

"No, I-I\'m not sure about that. What if you got the wrong person?" Anna asked, shaking her head, trying not to easily believe the words of the man she had just met.

"You only rely on this birthmark, maybe I\'m not the only one who has it in this world," she added.

Aaron sighed harshly, he had expected to hear a question like this. Indeed, during his search in recent years, there had been many women with similar ages and birthmarks to the ones in the photo. It\'s just not the same.

"If you doubt that, take a look at this," said Aaron again while holding out a photo of a husband and wife. It was Jason Smith and Jennie Smith, Anna\'s Mom and Dad.

"You look a lot like Jennie, your mother," he added.

"If you still refuse to believe everything I say, we can do a DNA test to prove it."

Anna sobbed, accepted the photo that was given to her, the clear tears dripping down her luscious cheeks again. What the man said was true, the woman in the photo was like another form of her. Very similar. From the small body shape to the face even though.

Aaron was silent seeing his nephew\'s reaction. He understood how she was feeling right now.

"Mom..." Anna squeaked while sobbing as she rubbed the photo in her hand. Her tears flowed so hard, she couldn\'t stop them. The first time she saw what her mother looked like. The thought that she would never see her again made her heartache. She didn\'t know, that\'s how she feels right now.

"So what? Are you still refusing to believe everything I say?" Aaron asked after a few minutes had passed.

Anna did not give any response. The woman just looked down.

"Would you like to come home with me to Australia?" Aaron asked again in a voice that sounded so low and soft.

"To where you should be," he added.

Anna was still silent, not responding. As if he didn\'t care what the man in front of her said.

"Do, do I have a brother, brother or sister?" Anna asked after she managed to normalize her feelings again.

"Too bad, you are the only daughter, Claire," Aaron replied that very second.

"So how is it? You\'re going to come with me right? It would be very dangerous if you continued to be in this country."

Hearing this, Anna frowned.

As if knowing the woman\'s confusion, Aaron returned to tell about the contest he had previously made. Even though he had announced that the contest was stopped, he couldn\'t be sure that everyone was aware of the information. So just in case, and for the safety of his nephew, he should try to bring her back to Australia.

"Lucky Devan contacted me right away, otherwise. I didn\'t know that what I had done put my own nephew\'s life in danger."

"Forgive your Uncle\'s carelessness, Claire," Aaron added again.

Hearing Devan\'s name being called, Anna froze on the spot.. "Devan? How do you two know each other?" asked Anna curiously.
