Chapter 601 - I Know You
Jack's face turned red when Anne said everything he did to Paul that night while they were still in Aberdeen, Scotland.
"So you also know that Linda and Paul are in Luxembourg right now?" Jack asked quietly without realizing it when Anne had finished speaking.
Anne smiled. "What do you think?"
"I couldn't guess," Jack answered honestly.
Anne chuckled. "Of course I know, if I didn't know what Linda and Paul are doing right now how could I possibly be this calm when I'm in Switzerland with you? You know that Linda is my only sincere friend, then how could I not look for her? When you brought me home, I didn't know what Linda was going through with your doctors right now, Jack. My being silent doesn't mean I don't know, Jack. I know everything. I just don't want to talk about it. I'm afraid Christian will whine to see his papa and mama if I discuss them."
"Anne..."
"Thank you, Jack, thank you for doing this for them. This is also one of the reasons I didn't think twice about coming home with you. You have made my best friend happy. Thank you for all the crazy things you have done. But next time, please don't kneel down and cry again. It's really inappropriate for you to do, "Anne said again with a chuckle, interrupting Jack's words.
Jack's whole body felt weak. He didn't expect that Anne would know what he was doing in front of Paul that night. His face was now very red from holding back the immense shame. Damn, Anne knew when he begged Paul for help then! It was really a disgrace.
Seeing Jack was quiet, Anne smiled. Jack's facial expression was really cute right now. Confused, shocked and embarrassed all rolled into one and Anne really enjoyed it. Because Anne was hungry, she decided to go into the house. Earlier when she left the office, she had not had lunch until now. Jack remained frozen in the garden for a long time, until Anne had almost reached the mermaid pool. Jack was still motionless. His mind went blank. His consciousness returned when he heard Alice's screams which was very loud when calling Anne's name. Jack immediately ran after Anne. There were still many things he wanted to talk to Anne about, especially what he had done in front of Paul at that time.
Alice, who knew that Anne already had a son, forced Aaron and Daniel to take her to Jack's mansion. Although Alice hated Jack's stupidity, she couldn't ignore Anne and her son.
"Where's the little one, Anne? Come on, I want to meet him."
"He must be very adorable, I have to meet him today too, Anne."
"Why didn't you meet me in the office earlier? If I had known that you were there, I would have preferred to be with you rather than facing those annoying people."
Alice kept harassing Anne with her usual chatter. Three years of not seeing Anne made her miss her very much and Anne let Alice continued to talk like that. She was glad that Alice had not changed, still as cheerful as ever.
"If you keep controlling Anne like that, how can she greet us, Alice?" said Aaron, suddenly interrupted Alice's conversation.
Alice finally realized that now she was not alone with Anne. There were Aaron and Daniel standing behind her. Alice reluctantly let go of Anne's hand and let Anne shook hands with Aaron.
"Nice to meet you again, Anne," Aaron greeted softly with a smile as Anne shook his hand.
"I'm also glad to see you again. Sorry we couldn't come to your wedding with Rose at that time."
Aaron smiled. "It's okay. I know you guys were grieving at the time. I'm the one who feels guilty for not being able to come to Mr. David Clarke's funeral."
"It's okay, now Grandpa is happy with Grandma and the others. So there's nothing more to regret," replied Anne slowly with a smile.
"Yeah you're right. The most important thing is that."
Anne then stretched out her hand to Daniel, who was still the same as before. Nothing had changed with Aaron's friend and assistant. Daniel still smiled shyly, although it was not as stiff as when Anne met him for the first time. While Anne was talking to them, Jack came over. His face was red from running.
"Come on in. I can't wait to see my handsome nephew," said Alice suddenly. She still didn't like Jack. There was a strong aura of hostility in Alice's eyes when she saw Jack.
"My son is sleeping, don't disturb him." Jack answered Alice's words quickly.
Alice immediately turned to Jack quickly. "Christian is not only your child. He is also the son of Anne. And Anne has no problem if I see the boy," she replied curtly.
"Alice..."
"I'm no longer your secretary so you can't stop me anymore."
Anne smiled faintly when she saw Jack was overwhelmed with Alice, as well as Aaron and Daniel, who looked like they were holding back their laughter at the small fight between Jack and Alice.
"Okay, come on, Anne, I don't want to be near him. He's still annoying, just like he used to be. He hasn't changed at all," Alice said quietly as she took Anne's hand to invite her into the house.
"Wait, Alice. You guys come in too, don't stand outside like this."
Aaron smiled. "Yes, Anne, thank you, I still want to talk to your husband regarding the results of the meeting earlier."
"I see. Well then, we'll leave you now."
"Okay, have fun and please don't let Alice control your child."
Jack growled. "That would be impossible for me to let happen."
"Really? See you later, come on, Anne. I can't wait to meet Christian," Alice said quickly in response to Jack's warning.
"Alice..."
"Never mind, Jack, don't be bothered. Just leave those two women together. They haven't seen each other for three years. Let them unwind and even if Alice wants to meet your child right now, she won't be able to kidnap him. You don't have to be so worried," Aaron said quietly trying to calm Jack.
Alice smiled at Aaron's words. Without any fear, she then stuck her tongue out at Jack. "That's a good boss, unlike you, Mr. Selfish."
After saying that, Alice immediately ran into the house, leaving Jack very angry. Not long after that, Anne followed Alice into the house. There were many things she wanted to talk to Alice about. She wanted to know why Alice left Erick. Because from what she knew, the two people loved each other and Anne wanted to know the reason for their separation.
Aaron chuckled at Alice's behavior. He moved his hand to Jack's shoulder. "We need to get serious, Jack. That Benjamin Calum still won't let you go."
"What do you mean?" Jack asked confused.
"Benjamin Calum doesn't accept his project being called a bogus project. Right now, he's preparing a lot of things to attack you again," said Aaron seriously. "And the person who is most responsible for this is Leonardo Ganke. He is the mastermind behind everything Benjamin Calum has done. If Muller Finance International does not continue this collaboration, they will sue you in court for violating the cooperation."
"What? Crazy bastard!!!"
