Chapter 425 - Possessive
Hearing her na being called by Alan, all the joints in Anne's body seed to be loose at the mont. She even almost fell, if only Alice didn't imdiately wrap her arms around Anne's waist. Not long after, Alan and Nicholas and his n ca out from among the crowd, approaching Anne. From his face, there was a look of great anger directed at Anne. Seeing Alan made Erick almost scream loudly and approached him, but because he felt the great anger from the man, Erick canceled his intention.
When Alan got in front of Anne, without a word he grabbed her hand and puller her harshly into his arms.
"It hurts."
"If you knew it hurts, you shouldn't have angered , Anne," Alan said quickly.
Anne imdiately closed her lips tightly. She was too afraid to answer Alan's words again, even though at the mont she felt pain in her waist because Alan's fingers gripped it tightly.
"It's not this sister's fault, sir." Without fear, Alice suddenly joined in.
Alan, who was focusing on Anne, didn't notice the presence of a woman and a man in front of him. "Who are you? Have we t before?
"Of course not. This is the first eting, including with this beautiful sister as well," Alice answered casually, eting face to face with a man who had a face like his master made Alice unable to calm down. The one in front of her was too strong and made her feel uncomfortable.
With one eyebrow raised, Alan asked, "Sister? Who are you calling sister? My wife?"
"Yes."
"If this is your first eting, how can you call her your sister? I don't like strangers pretending to be close to my wife," Alan said curtly.
"We talked for a while, that's why I ..."
Alan imdiately stepped forward towards Alice. "Talked! Wow, interesting. It's the first ti you've t and you can talk, I wonder what you're talking about."
Realizing the danger lurking to Alice, Erick spontaneously grabbed Alice's hand and pulled her behind him. "Forgive my girlfriend, sir, she was too excited to et this lady after sitting for hours at the charity event earlier."
Alan's eyes looked straight at Erick, from head to toe.
"Sorry sir, I was very rude. I'm Erick Maguire and this is my fiancé, Alice. Alice accidentally t this lady a few monts ago when she ca out of the room because she was tired after hours of attending events in this building, sir," said Erick slowly introducing himself while telling how Alice t with Anne, so that the man in front of him would not be angry. Erick felt that this man whose face resembled his master was not an easy man to talk to.
"Oh so you are one of the people who attended this charity event?"
"That's right, sir. Actually, we wanted to take this lady back to the tent. However..."
Alan raised his hand in the air, right in front of Erick's face so that Erick didn't continue his words. "Don't worry, sir, I appreciate your good intentions. But since I'm already here, you two don't need to take my wife back, then if you'll excuse us. We still have a lot to do. Good evening."
After saying that, Alan then turned around and led Anne to walk back to the tent. Anne was forced to follow Alan's footsteps as he pushed her back into the tent, leaving Erick and Alice.
"It's terrible, man. it was completely different with Mr. Jack. Mr. Jack is not as rude as him, poor Anne," said Alice quietly when Alan's group had disappeared from her sight.
Erick did not comnt on Alice's words, he was still deep in thought. Erick still couldn't believe seeing a man whose face and voice were very similar to Jack, if he didn't see it directly he might not believe it.
"Now what are you going to do, Erick? Didn't you promise to help Anne from that bad man, Erick?"
"Wait, Alice, I still have to confirm sothing else." Erick answered slowly.
"Sothing else? What else? Haven't you seen how that man treats Anne? Anne must be tornted by him, Erick. I feel sorry for her," Alice whined, half pleading for Erick to act.
"Calm down, Alice, everything has its own ti. You don't have to worry. Now we'd better go back inside to et Mr. Antonio before returning to the villa."
Alice raised her head, looking at Erick in annoyance. "We're going inside again? Oh no, Erick, I do not like to et people."
Erick smiled at the words of her lover. Tenderly, he then grabbed the hand of Alice and led her back into the building to et Mr. Antonio. His intention to imdiately return to the villa was delayed.
Just when Erick and Alice entered the building, Alan reappeared to the place alone. He wanted to make sure whether what the lovers said was true or not. That was why he imdiately snuck into the building, to find out in person. Alan slightly lowered his head as he entered the building. The building was still busy, because there were currently a lot of journalists in that place. Alan didn't want his presence in Tromso to be known to many people, especially Roger Douglas.
When he was in the room where the charity event took place earlier, Alan's steps stopped when he saw Erick and Alice, who were with his wife earlier, seed to be talking to so senior businessman.
"Okay, so they are honest. I don't need to investigate them further. It seems that Anne is eting them for the first ti," Alan said in his heart. His worries vanished instantly. Alan was afraid that Anne would et people she knew. He was afraid that Anne would be taken away from him. That was why he was willing to go back to that place to find out for himself, leaving Anne alone in the tent, to take a shower at his order.
When Alan was walking out of the building, suddenly he was hit by soone and almost made him fall, if only there was no one to hold his weight.
"Sorry sir, it was an accident, are you okay, sir?" a woman asked Alan.
Alan, who had managed to stand up straight, then turned to the woman who had bumped into him. "Next ti use all the organs in your body for activities, miss, so sothing like this won't happen again."
"Watch your words sir, this lady has apologized. Why do you have to... Jack!"
Alan raised an eyebrow at the words of the man standing in front of him. Although he didn't hear clearly what the man had said, Alan was absolutely sure that the man had ntioned a na. He chose to leave these two people, as he still had other important things to do with Anne tonight.
Seeing the person he hit just walked away, the woman who was carrying the cara then approached her partner, who was standing still after seeing Alan.
"What's wrong?"
"Pinch , Rose, I want to know whether I was dreaming or not."
