Chapter 550 - Jack's Threat
Before he could answer, suddenly Paul entered and grabbed Christian from his arms.
"Christian is my son." Paul imdiately spoke loudly.
"Y-yes, Christian is our child." Linda, who was standing behind Jack, imdiately replied to her husband's words and imdiately rushed to where Anne was standing.
Jack was silent for a long ti, seeing his wife and two friends staring at him without blinking. His gaze continued to alternate from Christian to Anne, and from Anne to Christian and so on for a long ti. Finally, a smile suddenly appeared on his face and it was his first smile after three years after Anne's departure.
"Oh so he's your son, but why does he look so much like ?" said Jack slowly, trying to flick Anne's ego.
Paul swallowed hard. "Just ask Christian who Linda and I are."
Jack smiled. Paul had fallen into his trap. "Son, your na is Christian?"
"Yes."
"Can uncle ask a question?"
"Sure."
"Who's carrying you right now?" Jack asked quietly, his voice shaking a little.
Christian pointed at Paul to which Jack gave a quick nod.
"He's my Dad." Christian answered quickly in his slurred voice.
Jack's face imdiately went flat. His smile disappeared instantly replaced with a sharp look at Anne. Seeing that expression, Christian looked scared. Anne, who noticed the change in Christian's expression, imdiately took the boy from Paul's arms and imdiately gave Christian to Linda.
"Co inside for a mont," said Anne quietly.
Linda nodded her head quickly. Without speaking, she went straight into the break room with Christian, who clung like a koala.
After making sure Christian was safe, Anne then returned her focus to Jack.
"Go, your presence is not expected in this place." Anne shooed Jack away fearlessly.
"That's right, you better go, sir. Your presence scares my son, he's not used to strangers," Paul said firmly in response to Anne's words.
Jack chuckled. "It turns out that in the past three years, you have changed a lot, Anne. I didn't think you would be this cruel to ."
"Everyone's changed, not just ," answered Anne quickly.
Jack's laughter grew wider when he heard Anne's words. Jack slowly stepped towards where Anne was standing and imdiately moved his hands to try to straighten Anne's ssy hair. But his movent was stopped in midair because Anne imdiately shifted where she stood, avoiding the touch of the man, who was still her husband.
Jack pulled his hand away and unbuttoned one of his shirt buttons. "Actually my intentions were good at first, but because the response you gave was so unfriendly, I seem to have changed my mind and regarding Christian's matter, I will investigate it imdiately. If you have given false information about Christian, then be prepared to lose, because I will not let my son calling another man Dad."
Thump!
Anne's face paled heard the threatening Jack, and Jack managed to read Anne's face change. Without permission, suddenly Jack landed a kiss on the neck of Anne who imdiately made Anne's whole body shudder.
"See you tomorrow! I'll co back after getting Christian's DNA results."
After saying that, Jack imdiately turned around and left the flower shop, leaving Anne and Paul who was stunned. When Jack ca out of the door, suddenly he extended his hand towards Erick.
"Christian's hair, take it to the lab. I want to know the results tomorrow morning."
"Ready sir," Erick answered quickly as he put a strand of hair that the master had just given him into his handkerchief.
Jack walked with firm steps towards his car. He was still annoyed by Anne's words and Paul's words recognizing Christian as his son. Even though ordinary people could tell that physically Christian was very similar to Jack, starting from the color of the eyes, face, lips.
"Damn, how can he admit my son as his own? It is obvious that Christian inherited all my good looks," said Jack in annoyance as he clenched his fists.
Erick and Nicholas just listened to their master's words, now they both understood why their master wanted Christian's DNA results.
Bam!
Anne fell to the floor shortly after the cars of Jack's n disappeared from the front of the shop. Her legs were unable to support her any longer because she was so weak.
"Anne ..."
"What do we do, Paul? What if Jack takes Christian away ...? Christian is my son. I don't want to lose him," said Anne hoarsely holding back tears.
"Don't panic, Anne, everything will be fine. Don't worry, you are the biological mother. Christian's birth certificate is also clearly written that you are his mother, so you don't have to worry," said Paul quietly, trying to calm Anne.
"Yes, Anne, you don't have to worry. We'll take care of Christian together, you don't have to worry." Linda, who had just joined them, imdiately joined in the conversation.
Anne looked down with tears already running down her cheeks. She couldn't hide her imnse fear. Anne was aware of how powerful Jack was right now, so she was very worried that Christian would be taken away from her. What was more, Jack had threatened her too, damn it! Anne really couldn't think straight at the mont. The wall of courage she had built up over the years was easily shattered by Jack in one touch.
Unable to bear to see Anne cry like that, Linda imdiately approached her best friend and gave her a warm hug full of support. "We've been through so tough tis for the past three years together, Anne, so don't worry. We'll get through it again this ti."
"I-I'm afraid, Linda, sob... I'm afraid of losing my child."
"No, Anne, I will not let that happen. Christian is ours, don't you worry. You are not alone anymore, Paul and I will always be with you," said Linda quickly.
Hearing Linda's words made Anne's cry louder. She was really more afraid of losing her only son. Anne knew Jack was a man who was always serious with his words. That was why Anne was really scared right now.
Paul massaged his aching head when he saw his wife and Anne cried. As the only adult male in their family, Paul had to stay strong even though he actually had the sa fear. Paul would not have allowed the baby he had taken care of since the baby breathed the air in the world to be taken by his biological father. Paul already loved Christian and treated the baby like his own flesh and blood, because of that, he felt the sa sadness as Linda and Anne who gave birth to Christian.

< City Hospital >
Nicholas and Erick imdiately went to the largest hospital in Aberdeen. They imdiately went to a hospital officials room with the strand of hair belonging to Christian, which was given by Jack.
"We want the results to co out tonight as well," said Erick firmly closing the conversation.
"But that..."
"Mr. Jackson Knight Clarke was the one who requested this, so please cooperate, Doc." Nicholas imdiately cut off the doctor's words quickly.
The doctor was silent for a mont. "Clarke, is it Clarke..."
"That's right, it's that Clarke. So please, don't disappoint us," Erick said quietly, interrupting the doctor's words.
