Love Worth Fighting For

185 a Family

“How can he be innocent? The evidence we get is clear, even Ronin, one of Christian’s best hackers, has also obtained the best quality images showing that the masked girl in the kidnapping gang is Elena Wilson. 100%, Anne!” Jack spoke again in a high pitched voice.

“But Jack...”

“Never mind Anne, I’m lazy to argue with you. I don’t want us to fight, what we should do now is party to celebrate our success in uncovering the evil intentions of Elena Wilson and her family who want to mess up our family again.”

Anne narrowed her eyes, staring at Jack for a long time without making a sound. Seeing Jack speak again in high tones like this made Anne think back to their youth.

Anne shrugged her shoulders as she said, “You haven’t changed, Jack.”

Not waiting for a response from her husband, Anne immediately got up from the chair and hurried off towards the door. Watching Anne leave, Jack immediately realized his mistake. With a half run Jack caught up with Anne and managed to stop her right in front of the door.

“Let me go!”

Jack, who had hugged Anne from behind, tightened his embrace, he had even leaned his head in the crook of Anne’s neck. A sensitive area that always makes Anne helpless.

“Don’t be mad,” said Jack hoarsely. “I didn’t mean to hurt you, honey. I just got emotional when I talked about that girl. Please forgive me.”

.....

“I am not angry.”

“Lie!!”

Anne smiled a little, Anne slowly released Jack’s arms from her body. Although at first Jack didn’t want to let go of his embrace, Anne managed to force the man to let go.

“If I was angry I would have argued with you earlier.”

“I know you very well, Anne,” Jack replied coldly.

Anne pursed her lips. “If you know me well you should know what I’m thinking right now, we haven’t had a smooth relationship since the beginning of our meeting, Jack. I just don’t want the same thing to happen to our two children, I know how much you love Christian and Suri. I know you are doing all this for the sake of our children, but you have to remember one thing, Jack. Elena also has a father and mother who love her very much they both must not be willing if their daughter has to be hurt, I say like this doesn’t mean I I don’t love my children. I really love Christian and Suri, even I am willing to trade my life with them. I say this only to ask you not to make mistakes that can burden us in the future. We have felt the bitterness and sadness of losing a child for a long time. So I beg you, keep using your common sense. Don’t do any violence to her, after all now Suri has reunited with us. I know Suri has suffered a lot and lost a lot of precious time over the past three years, I know Suri has suffered so much when away from all of us. However, that can not be used as an excuse to do the same with Elena Wilson. God wouldn’t have allowed His servant to suffer that long if there wasn’t a beautiful plan for Him...you believe in all that, don’t you?”

“Don’t compare our love story and journey with what Elena Wilson has done for our children, Anne, ” Jack growled disapprovingly. “What happened to us is very different from what that little witch did to our two children, Anne.”

“That’s not what I meant, Jack,” sighed Anne desperately, talking to Jack really required a lot of patience. “What I mean is...”

Anne couldn’t finish her sentence because Jack had already put a finger to her lips.

“Don’t mention Elena Wilson again, I don’t want to ruin our day because of that girl. We’d better continue eating now, then tell me what I’ve missed while I was in Luxembourg. I want to hear everything without missing a thing, especially regarding Suri and Areez Floyen’s closeness.” Jack’s eyes lit up when he spoke of Suri again, an expression that was very different from when they were discussing Elena.

Anne took a deep breath, without speaking Anne walked to the chair which she had previously sat on before deciding to leave. Jack’s smile widened when he saw Anne comply with his wishes, Jack immediately sat back in his chair and continued eating with Anne who was also eating. A few minutes later, Jack heard a very loud laugh when Anne began to recount the series of events that had happened at the house when Jack was away for Luxembourg for almost two weeks.Jack’s eyes lit up when Anne told how Areez had managed to make Suri obey him, knowing Areez’s origins clearly made Jack not suspicious of him at all. Jack actually felt that Areez was a disgrace congratulations Suri, the only person who can make Suri back to being herself.

Jack was laughing amusedly when Anne showed the video of Areez and Suri’s fight which led to Suri’s apology to Areez, Anne squeezed her left chest slowly. Anne had a feeling that another great storm would befall the family, a storm far more difficult to handle than before. After wiping her lips with a handkerchief, Anne then takes out her other cellphone and immediately calls Christian. Although her relationship with Christian has not improved after their quarrel some time ago, Anne has a bad feeling for her first child.

Because Christian did not receive the call, Anne then contacted Kainer. Anne is sure Kainer is with Christian.

After connecting with Kainer, Anne was then seen busy talking to Christian who was in his office working on several projects that had to be completed at almost the same time. Christian looks so busy, the search for evidence of Elena’s involvement in the Suri kidnapping case really makes Christian’s work neglected and Anne sees for herself how her son is doing two jobs at once.

“Mommy can help you if you don’t mind, honey,” says Anne gently offering Christian help, who has just told him about the Clarke house of Jewel jewelery exhibition project that is about to take place in New York.

Christian shakes his head. “I can still take care of this exhibition, Mom. There is still Kainer by my side, especially now that I have entered into a collaboration with star entertainment who will be the EO of the event.”

“Eo?”

Christian nods slowly without breaking his eye contact with his mother who is on a video call from Kainer’s cell phone. “I don’t know the procedure and how to do an exhibition in New York, that’s why I asked the EO for help who already understands better to smooth out all my plans in that country.”

“Mommy is proud of you, Christ,” said Anne sincerely.
