Chapter 494 - Trust
While Anne was having her brunch voraciously, Alan just sat there and didn't touch his food at all. After receiving the report from Nicholas regarding the sabotage carried out by Roger Douglas a few moments ago, Alan's appetite immediately disappeared.
"Aren't you hungry?" Anne asked quietly with her mouth full of food.
Alan lifted his head and looked at Anne. "I'm not hungry yet."
"Really? But this meat is delicious, try some. Come on, open your mouth..."
Alan held back Anne's hand that wanted to feed him food. "I prefer other meat." Alan's left eye glanced at Anne and turned to look at her chest.
"Nasty!!" Anne screamed quite loudly as the fork she was holding fell.
Alan chuckled. He grabbed Anne's fork which had fallen on her plate and immediately ate the piece of meat that was still stuck in the end of the fork. "Yeah, I admit that, and you also know I turn into a pervert when I'm with you."
Anne growled. "Give me my fork back."
"Sure, it's my pleasure, Mrs. Clarke."
Anne immediately snatched her fork from Alan's hand, then continued eating without intending to feed Alan again.
Seeing Anne angry, for a moment Alan forgot about his annoyance at Roger Douglas, who always bothered him. Anne was really his real mood booster. While thinking of a way out of the problem, suddenly Alan's smart phone that was on the table vibrated. Because the screen was facing upwards, Anne could see who was calling her husband. It was clear that Cassandra Lim's name appeared on Alan's cell phone screen.
"Why was it ignored? Just pick it up, who knows it's important," said Anne quietly.
"It's Cassandra, and she always bothers me. I don't want us to fight because of this girl. Just ignore it," said Alan curtly as he grabbed a piece of roast turkey from the large plate in front of him.
Anne smiled. "Don't judge someone so quickly, pick it up. Who knows it's important, Alan."
"Are you okay with me getting a call from her? You know Cassandra Lim is one of the girls who've been after me?"
"It doesn't matter. It's just a call, no big deal," replied Anne softly as she pushed Alan's cell phone closer to him.
Alan took a deep breath. He couldn't understand how his wife could allow her husband to receive calls from other women. But when he was about to pick up the call, suddenly the call from Cassandra Lim ended.
"See, that girl has turned off the call."
"That's because you didn't pick it up for too long, so it automatically died. You evil one."
"Evil? Who? Me?"
"Yeah, who else is there? Oh, it looks like she's calling you again. This time it's a video call. Pick it up quickly!!"
Alan's one eyebrow rose. He really couldn't understand Anne's attitude. Not in the mood, Alan finally picked up the video call from Cassandra.
"Oh thank God! You finally picked up my call, Alan." Cassandra's voice sounded very excited when Alan received the call.
Alan smiled faintly. "What's wrong, Cassie? Why are you calling me again? Isn't Roger Douglas enough to satisfy you?"
Cassie's sparkling eyes immediately dimmed at Alan's words. "W-why do you say that, Alan? You do know that you're the only man I love."
"You also know that I am married and currently very happy with my wife. Ah, yes, I have not officially introduced my lovely wife to you." Without the slightest guilt, Alan approached Anne and put the camera on the table, so that he and Anne could be caught on camera.
Anne, who was unprepared, could only smile dryly when her face appeared on Alan's cell phone screen, looking at Cassandra, who looked very shocked. Cassandra's surprise hadn't gone away as she saw Anne appear on her cell phone screen when suddenly she got another shock when Alan suddenly kissed Anne's lips in front of her eyes.
"Alan..."
"Oops sorry, Cassie, sorry you had to see that scene. Oh yes, Anne, this is Cassie, Nelson Lim's daughter, one of the people who work with our company. Cassie used to help me a lot," said Alan casually introducing Anne to Cassie.
"Hi Cassie..."
Anne did not continue her sentence because suddenly Cassie turned off the video call and it made Alan laughed out loud. He was very satisfied to see Cassie who was very surprised.
"You evil! She must be very shocked and hurt right now."
"You pity him?" Alan asked confused.
"Not pity, I just feel a little sorry for her. Even though she is a single woman, it must feel very uncomfortable to see a husband and wife deliberately showed their affection in front of her."
Alan shook his head. He didn't understand Anne's current state of mind. "You do know who Cassie is, don't you? She is the woman who tried to seduce me, your husband, Anne. Even today, when we are married, that woman still hasn't stopped and is still trying to find a way to get close to me. Then how can you have compassion for such a woman? It doesn't make any sense."
Anne smiled widely, her eyes sparkling at Alan's words. Anne slowly grabbed her napkin and wiped her lips. After which she then looked at her husband's face with a warm gaze. "I know she's still crazy about you to this day, because I've heard several times from the maid at Grandpa's house saying that when we were in Norway, Cassie used to come looking for you. But I don't mind it. Do you know why? As long as you don't reply or respond to her, then I don't need to worry, because it's useless for me to forbid you to contact her, if you still respond to her from the start. But because you don't care about her, then I don't need to worry. I'm sure you can keep the trust I've given. As long as she doesn't cross the line, I don't think I need to be afraid of you being seduced by her. After all, I'm much prettier than Cassie. I'm sure you won't be tempted by her."
"Y-you believe me?"
"Of course I do. You're my husband. If I don't believe in you, then who else should I trust?" asked Anne with a smile.
Alan's heart beat 10 times faster when he heard Anne's words. The words that Anne spoke made his chest warm, whereas previously he thought that Anne didn't care about him, because she defended Cassie, who was clearly trying to disturb their household. But it turned out that Anne had a special reason that made him feel very happy because he had Anne's full trust.
"Do you love me, Anne?"
Anne's face reddened. "Why do you ask me that? Let's eat, I still haven't finished my food." Anne tried to divert the conversation.
However, it seemed that Anne's hopes of ending the conversation were unsuccessful, because Alan had grabbed her body and made her sit on top of his lap now.
"Answer me quickly, I need your answer," Alan demanded hoarsely, his eyes gleaming like a hungry wolf. It was a look that Anne easily understood.
"Don't do this, we are at the dining table, Alan. What if someone sees us?" replied Anne quietly. She tried to correct her sitting position because at this time her thighs were slightly exposed after her legs were on the right and left of Alan's thighs which made her look very tempting.
"No way, Anne, we're at the villa. There's no one here, the maids who prepare the food have left immediately after cooking. Unlike Grandpa's house where there are a lot of people, it's just the two of us here now."
"Your guards... what about them?" Anne spoke softly, while trying to hold Alan's hand which was groping her thigh.
"They're outside. They're not allowed in. That's why I prefer to bring you to this villa, because I can be free to do whatever I want here, without worrying that anyone will see us," replied Alan in a deep voice.
Anne's chest felt hot. She was sorry she had teased Alan. He really would never let her rest for a moment. The touch that Alan gave her instantly made her whole body react.
"Alan, stop it! Don't do it here, I-I..."
Bang!
"Master! This is bad, sir!!!"
Anne's whole body immediately stiffened. She knew very well the voice of the man who had just emerged from behind her at the moment.
Alan growled. "Close your eyes, Nicholas!!!" Alan shouted loudly.
