Chapter 486 - The Same Arrogant Man
< London, England >
Everyone in Linda and Paul's apartment was shocked to see Anne and Linda returned home with Alan. Even Mr. David Clarke blinked his eyes several times when he saw the grandson was sitting in front of him.
"I'm not a ghost, Grandpa, you don't need to look at me like that," said Alan curtly. He felt uncomfortable to be constantly stared at continuously by his grandfather.
"I just still can't believe that you are in London. Don't you have an important meeting today with those vendors who will be involved in the project in Dubai?"
"Yes it is, but it can't be helped. My wife and grandfather have conspired to go on vacation without me, so don't blame me if I follow right away."
"I'm not on vacation, Alan. I just wanted to see Linda, nothing more." Anne finally joined in, interrupting Mr. David Clarke and Alan's conversation.
Alan immediately turned to Anne who was still standing by the door with Linda. "It's the same, baby, you go abroad without me to England which is hundreds of miles from Luxembourg, Anne. Anyway, why do you have to go see your friend? Why don't they just come to Luxembourg? Look at this apartment! It's so small and rundown, and now I can breathe well."
"RUN DOWN!!!" Linda screamed in annoyance. "Well, why don't you leave this place then? I don't accept arrogant people like you in my apartment."
Anne widened her eyes when she heard Linda's shouts. She couldn't believe Linda would dare to speak to Alan like that. Even though at the moment he was not the Jack that Linda was afraid of, but still Alan's power was much greater than Jack, including his wealth. And Linda was not afraid of Alan, what a brave woman!
Alan chuckled at Linda's words. He slowly got up from the sofa and walked over to Linda who was standing next to Anne. Instead of being angry, Alan actually smiled when he was in front of Linda, while his hand that grabbed Anne tightly.
"But this time it is an exception, Miss Linda, because you are a good friend of my wife and my wife likes to be in this place, so I am willing to fight for oxygen with all of you," Alan answered briefly, trying to be romantic to Anne yet somehow still mocked Linda's apartment.
Linda, who was annoyed with Alan's words, then turned to Anne. She tried to vent her frustration on Anne. "You better go and take your annoying husband out of here, Anne. I'm afraid his lungs are as dirty as his brain and his heart, will get even dirty while being in my cramped apartment."
Mr. David Clarke chuckled at Linda's insults for his grandson. This was the first time he had seen anyone dare to speak to Alan so rudely, and this pleased him. While Alan, who had just received a curse from Linda, didn't seem angry at all, he instead grinned mockingly at Linda.
"But sorry Miss Linda, looks like we'll be here for a while. My wife has to satisfy herself to talk a lot with this annoying friend before we move to the hotel, so you don't have to bother kicking us out," he said softly, sarcastically.
Linda growled, ready to explode again if only Anne didn't immediately let go of Alan's arms and asked Linda to get away from Alan immediately. After seeing Anne and Linda disappear into the bedroom, Alan immediately sat back in front of his grandfather. Paul, who had been standing near the pantry, was still silent when he saw Alan.
"Watch your mouth, Alan, not everyone can accept what you say," said Mr. David Clarke quietly with a smile, reminding Alan.
"Jeez! Is there something wrong with what I said? No, Grandpa, I'm talking facts."
"But still, you must be able to be polite to the owner of the house that you are visiting, especially to the house of someone you are visiting for the first time."
Alan snorted. "Okay, Grandpa, okay! I will pay attention to what I say from now on."
Mr. David Clarke smiled. "I just wants you to not have many enemies, Alan."
"Grandpa, calm down, for that, you don't have to worry about it anymore. I already have Nicholas and Erick along with the other bodyguards, no one else can hurt me, Grandpa, including the damn Roger Douglas who has tried to tease Anne," replied Alan quickly, mentioning Roger Douglas' name made his mood immediately break.
"Teasing Anne?" asked Mr. David Clarke feigning ignorance.
Alan did not respond to his grandfather's words. He again recalled his meeting with Roger at his favorite restaurant while having breakfast with Anne. Roger's words replayed in his brain again and it made him angry, Roger was trying to snatched Anne, just like he had snatched Cassandra and Adriana, the two most beautiful women who tried to get Alan's attention up until this moment.
Seeing Alan was silent, Mr. David Clarke didn't want to ask further. He was sure that his grandson was very angry right now. That was why he chose to talk to Luis, discussing the restaurant he wanted to book for dinner with Anne's two friends and the other bodyguards of course.
"Book 10 rooms at the Shangri-La Hotel at The Shard London for tonight. It looks like we have to spend the night in London and don't forget to ask the restaurant to prepare a special dinner for all of us," said Mr. David Clarke slowly ordering Luis to book a room in one of the his favorite hotels when he was in London. He had many beautiful memories in that hotel that he made with his late wife Yolanda and little Alan decades ago.
"Yes, sir."
Luis immediately contacted the Shangri-La Hotel at The Shard London according to his master's orders, while Alan was still annoyed about Roger Douglas.
In the bedroom, Anne was trying to calm Linda, who was provoked by Alan's very annoying words. Linda still couldn't believe that Anne was still able to put up with him.
"He's Jack, you have to remember that, Linda. He's Jack, Jack is mine. How could I leave him, Linda?" said Anne quietly to Linda who kept forcing her to leave Alan.
"But still, Anne, I don't like his annoying nature. But wait, you said he lost his memory, didn't you?"
"Yes, he lost his memory. That's why I had to..."
"Just hit his head, Anne! Who knows when you hit him, his memory will come back and his annoying nature will be reduced a little," said Linda quickly.
Anne's eyes immediately opened wide. "Linda!!"
Linda burst out laughing, actually she was just joking with what she said earlier. Linda already knew about Jack's current condition from Anne, but confronting him face-to-face turned out to be driving her almost insane. The level of insolence the man was showing at the moment was many times higher than it was two years ago.
Knock... knock... knock...
A loud knock on the door suddenly was heard, which startled Anne and Linda.
"Hey, hostess! Get my wife out. What are you doing right now? You're not poisoning my wife's brain are you? Get Anne back to me quickly, I don't want her to be contaminated by you barbarians." Alan's voice was clear as soon as he knocked on Linda and Paul's door.
"Grrrr...that guy...!"
Anne immediately grabbed Linda's hand so she wouldn't go to the door. "Hold on, Linda, let me deal with this odd man."
