Chapter 462 - The Wrath Of The Asparagus Lover

Chapter 462 - The Wrath Of The Asparagus Lover

Everyone at the dinner table was shocked at how spoiled Alan was to Anne. He didn't want the waiter to serve him. He only allowed Anne to touch the cutlery and food.

"What else?" Anne asked as she held back her emotions when Alan suddenly grabbed her hand that was about to cut the meat.

"I don't want to eat alone," Alan answered simply.

Anne's shoulders lifted. "Then what do you want?"

Alan smiled wide. He had been waiting for those words to leave Anne's lips. Without a word, he then shifted his plate towards Anne and positioned the fork and knife precisely and perfectly so that Anne could easily reach them.

"What does this mean?"

"I only want to eat if you feed me." Alan grinned widely without guilt.

Anne's head was instantly hurt. She really could go crazy if she faced her husband who was very spoiled and annoying. Because she didn't want to add to the problem, she relented and chose to do her husband's request, who was sitting very quietly beside her. Everyone at the dining table seemed to smile at the intimacy of both Anne and Alan, especially Mr. David Clarke, who smiled until tears welled up in his eyes. He was touched to see his grandson was happy with the woman he loved. For a moment, the image of his only son Calvin and his wife Megan flashed through Mr. David Clarke's memory that night. It was like going back 30 years ago to the first family dinner when Calvin took Megan home to introduce her to him. At that time, Calvin had not expressed his intention to marry Meghan to his parents. Therefore, the young David Clarke at that time still warmly welcomed Megan because he considered her a casual girlfriend and that their relationship was not serious. But after Calvin expressed his intention that he would marry Megan, the anger of Mr. David Clarke came and ruined the family dinner. Calvin was furious when he heard his father rejected Megan, who was just a common girl and was not a descendant of rich people like them.

The quarrel between father and son stopped when Yolanda, David Clarke's wife, intervened and asked Calvin to go with Megan. Under the circumstances, she was forced to ask his only son out of the house because David Clarke had drawn a gun at Calvin's forehead. Yolanda would rather see her son leave the house, than see her child's dead body. Shortly after the argument, Calvin married Megan secretly in the church of St. Wilibord located in the City of Echternach which was at the border of Germany. When David Clarke heard that his only son had married secretly, David Clarke was furious. He mobilized his men to separate the husband and wife who were legally married, until finally Megan was detained by Mr. David Clarke's men so that Calvin would leave his wife. But after knowing that Megan was pregnant at that time, Mr. David Clarke released his son and daughter-in-law on the condition that the child Megan was carrying had to be given to him. Knowing at that time that his wife was pregnant with twins, Calvin finally agreed to the conditions given by his father. When Megan finally gave birth to the twins, with a heavy heart Calvin gave one of their sons to his father and moved away with his wife and second child from Luxembourg, trying to arrange a new life without bringing his family's big name.

Without realizing, Mr. David Clarke's tears trickled down his face and surprised Luis. The man swiftly grabbed a tissue and wiped the tears that were streaming down his master's face.

"Are you all right, sir?" Luis asked in a half-whisper as Mr. David Clarke wiped his own tears.

"I'm fine, Luis, I'm just reminiscing the past. Everything seems like it happened yesterday, when Calvin brought Megan home. And they came back to me to give Alan, and then left never to come back, until finally Yolanda left forever and was followed by Alan two years ago. It feels like everyone I've ever hurt and disappointed left without giving me any chance to apologize, Luis. They're happy up there together without me, who is still tormented in the world," said Mr. David Clarke quietly, only Luis who heard his words.

Luis patted Mr. David Clarke's wrinkled hand. "They must have forgiven you, sir. Mr. Calvin and Mrs. Megan must be very grateful to you for helping Young Master Jack. Trust me, sir, your son, your wife, your daughter-in-law, and grandson must be very proud of you, so don't be sad like that. Cheer up, sir, you still have one more big task ahead of you. We have to find the man who had killed Young Master Alan and wait for Mrs. Anne to give birth to cute babies, the future of the Clarke family, just as you wish for."

Mr. David Clarke immediately smiled at Luis' words. He then took a deep breath and returned to focus on his untouched food. His smile grew again when he saw Anne was angry at Alan because the man had so many requests, ranging from pieces of meat that were too big in his mouth, the sauce that didn't touch the meat, and the pieces of asparagus that Anne accidentally cut. He could only shake his head at his grandson's peculiar behavior. In the mean time, Eric had been noticing every movement of Mr. David Clarke. He also faintly heard the words of Mr. David Clarke who missed his son, wife and grandson, who had died. Erick felt sorry for Mr. David Clarke. The man really missed the warmth of his family. Tears suddenly welled up in Erick's eyes.

"What are you doing?" Alice whispered to Erick, who immediately wiped the tears that were sliding freely down his cheeks.

"I'm fine, my eyes just feel itchy suddenly," Erick lied. He didn't want anyone to see him cry.

Alice smiled. She then put some of Erick's favorite grilled asparagus sticks onto his plate. Alan's eyes stared intently at Erick, who was enjoying grilled asparagus voraciously.

"You're like a goat, Erick," said Alan, suddenly mocking Erick.

Everyone who was eating immediately turned their gaze to Alan, who had just called Erick a goat.

"Why are you looking at me like that? Just look at Erick who is eating asparagus voraciously," said Alan again.

Anne pinched Alan's waist quickly, which was met with a scream of pain from Alan. "Honey, it hurts."

"That's for you so you don't talk nonsense. Goats don't eat asparagus!" said Anne curtly.

Holding in the pain, Alan then grabbed his cell phone and did a search for pictures of asparagus. After which, he showed the result to Anne. "See? Why should a tree like this be eaten? Even though there are still many other foods, there are still many other types of vegetables that can be eaten."

"So the ones who eats the asparagus are goats?"

"Yes, definitely."

Anne put the knife and fork in her hands onto the plate and turned back to Alan. "Then just make love to someone else, because I'm a goat."

After saying that, Anne then grabbed two grilled asparagus sticks on the plate and ate them voraciously, before finally stood up and left the dining table, leaving Alan who was very surprised when he was told to make love to someone else.

"Baby, you don't belong to that breed, dear….you're not a goat, dear…" Alan screamed loudly as he ran after Anne.
