Love Worth Fighting For

204 Woman’s insting

The news of the closeness of Charlotte and Christian, which has been in the camera for the past few days, finally reached Jack and Anne in Geneva. As both parents of Christian, both Jack and Anne are now the target of journalists who want to confirm about Christian’s close relationship with the daughter of the former UN secretary general.

When the news first appeared, Jack didn’t like it. Remembering that Charlotte is the daughter of Chester Lloyd who once tried to seduce Anne makes Jack object to seeing the girl’s closeness to Christian, but after several times comparing Charlotte to Elena, Jack finally decided to let the news continue to circulate.

However, Anne seems to be showing different things, Anne who feels that if Elena is a good girl, she still can’t let Christian have a relationship with another girl. There was a lingering sense of uneasiness in Anne. However, since Christian has not given any explanation regarding the already crowded news, Anne does not dare to speak. She doesn’t want Christian to get angry with her for being too involved in his personal matters.

While Anne was reading some of Christian and Charlotte’s articles that had appeared on several websites, Jack appeared with a big smile on his face from the door. The man who still looked so dashing walked towards Anne with a box of pizza he bought on his way home from work.

“Didn’t welcome me?” Jack teased with a smile.

Anne, who had closed the website that had stolen her attention since the last few days, thinned her lips at the words of her husband. “So what should I do? Should I roll out the red carpet to welcome you, hm?”

“Not on the red carpet either, honey. You’re exaggerating,” Jack replied with an amused laugh. “And here’s pizza for you. I was passing by your favorite pizzeria on my way home from work.”

Using both hands, Anne accepted the pizza box Jack had given her and placed it carefully on the table before finally opening the pizza box. Instantly the smell of cheese wafted as soon as the pizza box was opened.

“My favorite,” said Anne with sparkling eyes.

.....

“Yes, It’s your favorite pizza.”

Anne immediately grabbed a slice of pizza that was still warm from the box, even though she wanted the pizza but Anne still put Jack first. Jack, who had been cleaning his hands since he was in the car, then received the pizza his wife had given him and ate it voraciously.

“You’re not eating?” asked Jack with his mouth full.

Anne smiled. “Seeing you eat suddenly makes me feel full.”

Hearing Anne’s answer made Jack immediately stop eating.
“What is it?” asked Anne, confused.

“I should be the one asking you that kind of question.”

Anne grabbed the tissue that was on the table and gently cleaned Jack’s lips. “I’m fine.”

“We’ve been married for decades, Anne. I know you very well, you can’t lie to me, Anne. Now answer my question honestly, what’s bothering you right now?” Jack softly urges Anne to speak the truth.

“I was thinking about Christian and Elena.”

Jack’s expression immediately changed when he heard Elena’s name come out of his wife’s lips.

“Don’t be angry with me,” said Anne again. “I know you must be angry that I’m talking about Elena, but we have to talk about this matter. Right now everyone is talking about Christian and Charlotte’s closeness, honestly as a mother I don’t want to control or interfere with my children’s love story. It’s just that a few months ago Christian brought Elena to us and said he wanted to marry her. I’m currently very disturbed by the news of Christian and Charlotte’s closeness. I feel this is wrong, Jack.”

“What’s wrong? Charlotte Lloyd is a good girl, her achievements are to be reckoned with. Plunge into the social world since she was a teenager, making Charlotte’s name now spoken of by almost all the leaders of the countries in this world, it doesn’t feel wrong if Christian is close to her?”

“Jack,” sighed Anne hoarsely. “I know you want the best for your child but I feel that Christian and Charlotte’s relationship is going too fast, plus we don’t yet know the clarity of Christian’s relationship with Elena. Are they still continuing until now or just taking a short break or....”

“You still expect Christian to be with that damn girl? Don’t you remember what she did to Suri, Anne?” Jack’s voice rose two octaves as he interrupted Anne’s conversation. “Honestly I don’t care what to do with that little witch, although I don’t like Chester who tried to annoy you in the past but I don’t mind if his daughter is now close to Christian. Charlotte Lloyd is ten levels higher than that damn girl, little witch who has brought tears to our family,”

“Jack ...”

“And even if Christian still doesn’t want to leave that witch, then I will force him to leave at any cost. I have the right to determine my son’s future,” said Jack coldly. “So from now on don’t ever mention that little witch’s name in front of me again because I will be very angry with you, Anne.”

Anne shook her head. “This isn’t right, Jack.”

“What’s not right? Where is it wrong?”

“We also have a daughter, Jack. What if what happened to Elena also happened to...”

Brakk..

Jack hit the table in front of him and Anne hard.

“Don’t talk nonsense, as long as I’m alive I won’t be able to let my son experience such a sad thing. It’s enough that I saw Suri suffer because of that witch and I won’t be able to let that witch hurt my other child again, I will do anything for my children, Anne.”

Anne bit her inner lower lip hard, talking about Elena to Jack really never went well. Jack really was really angry with Elena.

“Christian is currently hiding and punishing the witch, Anne. So stop talking about it anymore, because Christian himself doesn’t want it anymore,” said Jack seriously.

“How do you know, Jack?”

“Feeling,” Jack answered simply. “Even though Christian didn’t say anything to me, I do know that he is currently the one responsible for the disappearance of that little witch from Luxembourg city. I’m 100% sure that Elena Wilson is in Christian’s hands right now.”

“Christian didn’t hurt her, did he?” asked Anne subconsciously.

Jack smiled a little. “What do you think? You must know the answer to that question you just said, right?”

Anne, who was scared, grabbed Jack’s hand and squeezed it tightly.

“Since knowing that he was the cause of the princess’s death in his seventh year, Christian has become very possessive of Suri. Therefore, when he finds out if the girl he loves is one of the people responsible for Suri’s suffering for years, Christian will certainly be very angry. So I don’t think you need to ask again about Christian’s relationship with Elena, because I’m pretty sure that as soon as Christian finds out that the girl he loves is involved in the kidnapping that has kept Suri’s missing for years, Christian will definitely leave her that very second. So, I’m asking you to stop talking about Elena Wilson anymore,” Jack said, continuing.

Anne’s eyes filled with tears for no reason, even though she had been shown a video of a masked girl coming out of the hotel where Suri was being held, but Anne still felt that something was odd. Even though Jack had shown the similarity of the face between the masked girl and Elena who was so similar, Anne still couldn’t believe one hundred percent that the girl was Elena. The first impression that Anne got from meeting Elena on Suri’s birthday made Anne doubt that the girl was Elena. Anne could feel Elena’s sincerity even though they had only met her a few times.

“Since I’m tired, I’ll go up to my room now. Call me when our dinner is ready.” Jack spoke again in a lower intonation, unlike before.

Anne was just silent, she did not respond to her husband’s words. Even when Jack lands a kiss on her forehead Anne still doesn’t react, Anne still can’t take her attention away from what Jack said about Christian’s confinement to Elena. Although Jack said that he had not seen it in person, he was absolutely sure that his son had done what his husband said. Anne knows Christian very well, she will not play around if she is in contact with Suri.



After Jack was out of sight, Anne then grabbed her cellphone which she previously used to read articles about Christian and Charlotte’s closeness. With a little hesitation, Anne then contacted Christian.

Anne had to swallow her disappointment when her son didn’t respond to her two calls, until Christian finally got in touch with her.

“What’s wrong, Mom? I’m not in the office.” Christian’s voice sounded so loud in Anne’s ears, apart from Christian’s voice which sounded louder than usual, Anne could also hear another quite loud voice behind Christian.

“You’re with Charlotte?” asked Anne quietly, trying to calm down.

Christian chuckles. “How did Mommy know? Yes, I was accompanying her.”

Anne clenched her fists. “Answer Mommy’s questions honestly, Christ. Elena, did you hide Elena?”
