Chapter 549 - Are You My Daddy?
< Aberdeen Airport >
By using a Boeing Bussiness Jet 747-8 belonging to his late grandfather, Jack and his men arrived at Aberdeen Airport. His arrival was also under very tight escort by officers at Aberdeen Airport.
"Welcome to Aberdeen, Mr. Clarke," a man dressed in black greeted Jack.
Jack smiled at the words of the man who had just greeted him. Because he couldn't wait to see Anne, finally Jack didn't respond much to the man. He immediately walked to the car that was waiting for him in the airport lobby. After receiving a report from Erick regarding Anne's whereabouts in Aberdeen, Scotland, Jack didn't want to wait long. He immediately decided to go to Scotland which was a state in Britain. Jack did not expect that Anne would live in that country.
During the trip to Anne's flower shop, whose address was already held by the driver, Jack kept staring at the beautiful photo of Anne previously shown by Erick. In that photo, Anne looked thinner than the last time Jack saw her three years ago. But that didn't reduce her beauty. Anne was still very beautiful even with short hair.
"Do Linda and Paul live with my wife, Erick?" Jack asked quietly, breaking the silence in the car.
Eric nodded his head. "Yes sir, according to my men they live in a two-story house with..."
"With what?"
"With a boy who is about 2 years old. The child looks so attached to Paul. But unfortunately, my subordinates did not manage to get a photo of the child," replied Erick in a trembling voice.
"A 2 year old boy....hmmm interesting, we will find out later. What is clear now is that I have to meet Anne first."
Erick took a deep breath, as did Nicholas. He was very grateful that the master was not to be angry with him for not providing complete information about the 2 year old boy. The master's good mood managed to save him. The atmosphere in the car was quiet again. No one dared to utter a single word. The tension in the car only ended when the car stopped, apparently by now they had arrived across the street from Anne's flower shop. Jack, who was impatient to meet Anne, immediately lowered his car window so that he could see Anne's face more clearly. His smile widened when he saw Anne was seen talking to a woman who finally entered the shop.
"Keep an eye on this place, I don't want anyone to disturb me," said Jack quietly as he untied the tie that tied his neck.
"Yes, sir."
After saying that, Jack immediately got out of his car and walked with sturdy steps towards Anne's flower shop followed by Erick and Nicholas, as soon as Jack left all the warriors immediately secured the place along with the other bodyguards, carrying out the orders given by the previous master.
Once in front of the shop, Jack didn't go straight in. He was still waiting for the customer who was buying flowers from Anne to leave the shop. Although he was very impatient, but Jack chose to patiently wait at the door. He only entered the shop after the female customer left and did not close the shop door that made it easy for Jack to enter. Jack's heart was racing ten times faster than usual when he saw the figure of the woman he had missed for the last three years was in front of him. Jack would have almost opened his mouth and called for Anne had he not heard Anne speak to herself and say a foreign name.
"Who's Christian?"
Anne, who was surprised, was frozen for a while before finally turning towards the source of the sound.
"Y-you..."
"Yes, it's me Jack. Answer my question earlier, Anne, who is Christian?"
Anne looked very shocked to see Jack's arrival. She couldn't believe the man who kicked her out three years ago had now reappeared in front of her like a ghost. Anne glanced out of the shop and saw the two personal assistants of Jack standing in front of the shop in perfect posture and the other members of the Warriors, who were standing guard around the shop.
"Why are you here?" asked Anne subconsciously.
Jack smiled. "I want to pick you up, Anne, I want you to come back to me. I want to start over with you."
"Are you out of your mind, Jack?"
"Yeah, I'm crazy because of you. For the past three years I've been tormented by all this, Anne, I regret everything I've done to you. I'm stupid for not checking the truth of the photos first. I'm stupid for being mean to you. I'm stupid because I let you go Anne, I love you, Anne. I want us to be like we used to be," answered Jack spontaneously.
Anne smiled faintly. "No, it's not love cause love doesn't hurt. Love doesn't hurt."
"Anne ..."
"Never mind, Jack, I don't want to waste my time anymore. It's enough for all the time and sacrifices I have given you, I've waited patiently for two years and believed you were still alive at that time, until God finally brought us together in a unique way. I never imagined until we finally got married. I've wasted so much patience waiting for you and now when I've given up all my love for you, why did you come again? I'm happy with my life now, Jack, so go away. Don't bother me again, I don't need your money, I don't need your power. I just need peace and quiet, two things you could never give me. So now you better go home and live in peace. We'll live our own lives." Anne immediately cut off Jack's words quickly. Her voice was shaking slightly, showing great anger.
Jack was silent for a long time after hearing Anne's words. He couldn't believe Anne would talk to him like that. Even though he had prepared his heart, in fact Jack was still hurt when he received such rejection from the woman he loved so much.
"I've been looking for you for three years, Anne, I can't stay silent. I almost went crazy when I found out you went while being pregnant that night, Anne, I didn't know you were carrying twins. I'm sorry, Anne, I'm sorry. I believe there still remains a little love for me in your heart, that's why I beg you to give me one more chance. We'll start all over again from the beginning. I promise to change and never make you sad again, Anne. I swear, "Jack said earnestly, his eyes staring sadly at Anne, who didn't seem to like his presence.
"Come on, Jack, I don't want to repeat the same mistake. I don't want to..."
"Mommy, we're back. Look what Dad bought for me." Christian's excited voice immediately interrupted Anne's words.
Hearing the voice of a little boy, Jack immediately turned and looked at the boy who looked very much like him without blinking. Jack stared deeply into Christian's eyes which were the same color as his without speaking.
Anne, who realized the danger lurking on Christian, immediately took action. She tried to reach Christian, but her movement was too fast with Jack who was already carrying Christian who immediately clung to him. Even though Christian had never wanted to be carried by someone he had never met.
"What's your name?" Jack asked softly to Christian who was already in his arms.
"Christian, are you my Daddy?"
