205 Back to luxembourg
Christian’s face changes hearing his mother’s words, he looks displeased to get such a question from his mother.
“Why did Mommy ask about Elena?” Christian asks coldly.
“Honey, Mommy knows you’re very angry with the people who hurt Suri. Mommy knows you’re upset that you didn’t manage to protect Suri, but that doesn’t an you can take out your anger on Elena like this, Christ...”
“Elena is my business Mom, what I do to her is my responsibility and I ask Mommy not to interfere,” Christian says coldly. “Don’t worry, I didn’t do anything crazy that could threaten her life. I just treated her the sa way Suri was treated by her kidnapper.”
Anne’s chest felt tight. “Christ...”
“There are so many people beside right now. It would be rude if I took too long in the middle of an event like this.”
“Wait Christ, Mommy isn’t done yet.” Anne forbids Christian to turn off the call.
Christian takes a shaky breath. “What’s going on, Mom? If Mommy still wants to talk about Elena?”
“God will not stand by injustice, dear. That’s why Mommy asks you not to go too far,” said Anne stamring, Anne really wants to let out all her feelings to Christian at this ti.
.....
“I know and thanks for reminding Mom,” Christian replies quickly, as quickly as he decides to end their conversation.
Anne imdiately closes her eyes when she realizes that Christian has disconnected her phone call. Faced with Christian who is so adamant that he reminds himself of when he faced Jack decades ago, Christian and Jack really have the sa selfishness.
From the second floor, Jack, who had finished taking a shower five minutes ago, just stared at Anne silently. Having known Anne long enough to make Jack sure that his wife still thinks about Elena, the beautiful girl who looked so nervous when Christian brought them to et them at that ti. Not wanting to see Anne continue to be sad, Jack then lowered his prestige with unheard steps. Jack descended the stairs to his wife who was still sitting in a chair with an unchanged position.
“Still thinking about that girl?” asked Jack quietly, surprising Anne.
“Huh?”
Jack smiled at Anne’s sweet surprise. Without removing the smile on his face, Jack approached Anne and sat right in front of the woman who had quietly given him two extraordinary children.
“You really can’t get your mind off the girl, Anne?” asked Jack to be more specific.
Anne did not imdiately answer her husband’s question, she looked doubtful.
“You want to check into Luxembourg myself?”
“Y..you seriously want to do that?” asked Anne, stuttering.
Jack nodded slowly. “For you I will do anything, I’m more willing to lower my ego to see that girl than to see you like this. I don’t like seeing my wife think about people who are clearly not part of our family. The person who has made us almost crazy because of the loss of Suri for three years..”
Anne pursed her lips. “I’m not thinking about the person who has made us sad, I’m thinking about our family, Jack. I know you and Christian are very angry with Elena, I know you are like this because of Suri. I just feel like we shouldn’t punish the girl ourselves. .”
“Anne,” Jack called softly, his big hand grabbed Anne’s hand and squeezed it carefully. “Christian won’t cross the line, he knows what to do. So don’t worry.”
“Yes but..”
“Tomorrow morning I will return to Luxembourg, I will see firsthand the condition of the girl. I will make sure Christian doesn’t do anything too much to her.”
“You want to do that?” asked Anne quickly.
“Yeah, I’ll take a look at his condition for you. But you have to promise after I see her, you can’t keep being sad like this,” Jack asked seriously.
Anne nodded her head quickly. “Yeah, I won’t be sad anymore.”
“Okay, let’s eat, I’m really hungry.”
“Asher, Suri. They didn’t co with you?” Anne finally realized the absence of her two children at ho.
Hearing Anne’s very late question that made Jack laugh out loud, Jack was amused to see his wife’s unchanging annoyance.
“Jack, I’m serious! Did you co ho with the kids?”
“No dear, Suri and Asher still haven’t co ho. Asher hasn’t co ho yet because they accompanied Suri. Areez invited to watch the latest film at the cinema, actually, Suri was only invited by Areez Floyen. looks like he doesn’t like his presence,” Jack replied quietly holding back a laugh, discussing Asher who was always a mosquito wherever Areez and Suri went making him feel amused.
“Again?”
Jack laughed, he couldn’t help but laugh. “Yeah, Asher really is a terrible big brother to any guy who wants to get close to Suri.”
Anne shook her head. “There is nothing, the child really hasn’t changed.”
“Asher is still traumatized by what happened, honey. That’s why he’s being so possessive of Suri right now,” Jack said quietly.
“Yes I know.”
“Okay let’s eat, I’m really really hungry.”
Anne nodded her head as she reached out to Jack who had stood up first, after which the two of them walked towards the dining table to enjoy their dinner even though it was just the two of them.
As Jack had said before, he imdiately ate his food voraciously as soon as Anne finished putting the food on his plate. Seeing Jack eat so voraciously made Anne smile, even though Anne did not oblige Jack to eat at ho, Jack always forced himself to be able to have dinner with Anne at ho. Jack didn’t want to see Anne eating alone like three years ago when they got into a cold war due to Suri’s disappearance. That’s why, Jack prefers to hold back his hunger in order to be able to eat with Anne at ho like now.
After Jack promised to go to Luxembourg to check on Elena’s condition, Anne beca calr. Unlike before, where Anne was so restless. And the change in Anne that was so obvious Jack realized, as a person who knew Anne more than herself, Jack knew that his wife was so gentle. That’s why he had relented, Jack chose to lower his ego for Anne’s sake, in order to make sure that Elena was okay even though Jack didn’t really care what Christian did to the girl he hated so much.
