159 Protect Areez
Areez and Suri imdiately turned to Anne at the sa ti.
“Isn’t your daughter’s na Mira, madam?” Areez stamred a little. “Suri Mira...”
“Suri Mireya,” said Anne softly. “At first glance it sounds like Mira.”
“Sorry madam, I didn’t an to change your daughter’s na,” Areez said again, Areez grateful that he didn’t talk to Suri.
Anne pursed her lips. “You don’t need to apologize for such a trivial matter, Mr. Floyen. I should be the one apologizing on behalf of my daughter so you have to be hurt like this,” Anne turned her gaze to Suri who had already lowered her head.
“No madam, you don’t need to apologize and neither does your daughter. I’ve also felt the pain of being let down by a lover, so I understand what your daughter has done earlier, madam.”
“I’m not heartbroken.” Suri imdiately responded to Areez’s words quickly. “Just don’t have a lover, how can I break my heart.”
“Oh so this beautiful Miss Clarke isn’t heartbroken, is she?”
“Suri!! My na is Suri,” growled Suri annoyed. “Get in the habit of pronouncing people’s nas correctly.”
.....
“Dear.” Anne gave such a gentle warning to Suri. “Mr Floyen isn’t wrong, he just called you by your last na.”
Suri imdiately lowered her head, holding back the anger that was whacking her. Suri was sure that at this ti Areez must be laughing because he was defended by her mother, when Suri was looking down, Anne offered Areez to change clothes. At first Areez politely refused, but because Anne kept pushing, Areez finally accepted Anne’s good intentions who wanted to give him clean clothes.
After Areez accepted her good intentions, Anne then rushed up to her room to find Jack’s clothes that were still not worn. As the person who had governed Jack’s dress, Anne knew which clothes her husband had never touched.
As soon as Anne had completely disappeared from his sight, Areez imdiately turned his face towards Suri. “How long do you want to be like this, Suri?”
“None of your business!”
“None of my business how? You are my woman, so whatever you do will be my main concern,” Areez said quickly.
“I’m not your woman, don’t talk carelessly!” said Suri loudly.
“Oh yeah? Prove that you’re not mine then.”
Suri clenched her fists. “You really are out of your mind, Areez. Talking to you gives a headache.”
“Gives you a headache? It’s not wrong? Aren’t you the one who gave a headache, huh? Isn’t all this blood staining my clothes yet making you sure that my head is hurting?”
“Areez!!!”
Areez chuckled, being able to see Suri angry like that again really pleased him. It felt so comnsurate with the pain that was whacking his head right now. Areez’s intention to tease Suri again had to be delayed because of Anne’s arrival, Anne who had brought a shirt that still had the tag on it looked so excited when she approached Areez who was sitting opposite Suri.
“Don’t worry, these are new clothes. My husband has never worn them,” said Anne softly as she handed Jack’s clothes to Areez. “My maid will help you put it on.”
“I can wear it myself, madam.”
Anne shook her head slowly. “Your head is sick, it will be difficult for you to wear your own clothes, sir...
“Just call by my na, madam. It’s very strange if you call ‘Master’, I’m still young, madam.” Areez again asked Anne to call his na directly.
“Is it ok?”
“Of course it’s okay, madam. Especially since we’ll be seeing each other more often, it’s going to be very strange if you keep calling with such a formal nickna.”
“Seeing up more often? What do you an? You’re not asking to be responsible for the wound on your head, are you?” Suri reacted loudly again, all the words that ca out of Areez’s lips really made her almost crazy.
“Suri...” Anne warned Suri again. “Areez is Daddy’s business partner, of course he will often co to the office or ho to et Daddy. Don’t talk nonsense, dear.” Anne finally followed Areez’s wish by calling her na directly.
Suri imdiately pursed her lips in annoyance and Areez chuckled at her sight, because the male servant Anne called to help him change clothes had arrived, Areez too got up from the sofa where she was sitting and walked towards the guest room that had been prepared in advance.
“You must apologize to Areez imdiately, Suri.” Anne whispered softly to Suri after Areez entered the room to change clothes. “He is a good person, honey. ”
“What a good person, Mommy does know what he is like,” said Suri curtly.
“Mommy hasn’t known him long, but Mommy knows that he’s a good person.”
“Mom...”
“He sacrificed himself to protect Mommy from your tantrums, until his head bleeds like that. Only a good-hearted person would do sothing like that,” said Anne again, rembering what Areez had done to protect her, made Anne have her own judgnt for Areez’s figure.
Suri bowed her head. “Sorry, Mom... I didn’t an to hurt you Mommy. I just...”
Anne imdiately hugged Suri tightly. “Shhh...don’t talk about it anymore, Mommy doesn’t want to hear it. As long as you’re okay, Mommy won’t be angry.”
“I promise it won’t be like that again, Mom.”
Anne nodded quickly. “Of course, Mommy trusts you won’t do that again. Mommy is absolutely sure.”
Suri tightened her arms on her mother’s body while leaning her face on her mother’s shoulder, Areez who was already standing in front of the guest room after changing clothes imdiately pointed one thumb at Suri. Since the room where he changed clothes wasn’t too far from the sofa where Anne and Suri were, Areez could hear all the words the mother and daughter were saying. Suri imdiately took her eyes off Areez as soon as she realized that Areez was trying to communicate with her, even though Areez is currently hurt because of her but Suri is still angry with him. Suri still hasn’t fully forgiven Areez, she’s still angry with the man who’s locked her up for three years. A man she’s unknowingly protecting from the target of her father’s anger.
