Chapter 569 - He Is Also My Son
When Anne woke up, the bed beside her was empty. Apparently, Jack was already awake and playing with Christian in the backyard. Jack was introducing Christian to his pet cats with Erick and Nicholas and a few bodyguards on duty.
Anne, who couldn't wait to meet Christian, chose to take a shower immediately. She had to freshen up as soon as possible.
"Geez, Jack! He's really annoying."
Anne cursed in annoyance when she saw that there was a new love mark that Jack had made on her neck, whereas just yesterday the other marks of love had faded from her neck. But now Jack had made new marks of love, which would be very visible even though she was wearing a turtleneck shirt.
As a result, even though Anne had finished bathing, she still couldn't go anywhere. She didn't want the hickeys around her neck to be known by the residents of her house. It was not without reason. Anne was a new person in the mansion. Even though she was the hostess, but still Anne still hesitated. She couldn't be indifferent to let the workers see the purplish red marks on her neck. After she finished changing into her comfortable clothes, she stood on the balcony to find out where her son was. For the last three days Christian had really not been with her. That's why Anne missed him so much.
Thump!
Anne almost fainted from shock when she saw what Jack did to Christian.
Without thinking twice, Anne immediately went into the room and immediately used foundation to cover Jack's hickeys. Luckily, Jack had prepared all the necessities including make-up kits and all the skincare that she usually used daily. After seeing the hickeys on her neck were covered, Anne immediately came out of her room. She ran fast even though her legs were still weak. What was on Anne's mind right now was to save her son from the madness of Jack, who really had an acute mental disorder.
"Christian!!" Anne screamed hysterically.
Anne's scream suddenly made everyone in the backyard turn their heads, including the Jack who was holding Christian right in front of two white Siberian tigers who were only one and a half years old.
"Hi babe, you've..."
Slap!
A hard slap landed on Jack's cheek which of course came from Anne's hand. A second later, Christian who was in his arms had moved into the arms of Anne, who were already in tears.
"If you want to go crazy, go crazy yourself! Don't take my son in it, don't ruin my child. If you really don't want us here, then let us go, let us live our own normal life like yesterday. Remember Jack, without you, I can raise my own child."
Anne spoke in a loud voice without pause. Her voice was shaking, showing how angry she was at the moment. Holding the tightness in her chest, Anne then turned around to return to the house, but several members of the Warriors were blocking her way. Anne immediately looked into the eyes of the bodyguards without blinking. Suddenly, without being given an order, the big men immediately shifted and gave way to the mistress. Really, dealing with an angry woman was a big problem, especially if the angry one is the hostess.
Jack couldn't help but stare as he watched Anne take Christian away. He didn't care about the heat that was still on his cheek at this moment. It looked like Anne had used all her strength to hit Jack earlier, and Christian, the kid was really smart. As if understanding that the mother was angry, the child did not speak or whine, while previously, he had laughed out loud when he was introduced to the father's very tame pair of big cats. Christian was really a good smart kid.
As she passed the maids, Anne ignored any of their greetings. The only thing on her mind right now was to make sure Christian's whole body was okay in the room.
"Mommy, are you okay?"
Christian innocently asked his mother as he was being led down the hall to the room.
Anne nodded. "Mommy is fine, honey."
"Then why are you crying? Who is the bad person that have made you upset?"
Anne bit her lower lip. She restrained herself from mentioning the name of that bastard Jack. Anne really didn't want to make Christian think badly of her father. She didn't want to spoil Jack's image in her son's eyes. Therefore, she chose to remain silent and did not answer Christian's question. She continued to walk quickly towards the room. She must immediately examine the body of her son, Christian, whom she had taken care of since he was in the womb. Jack didn't know Anne's struggle. That was why the annoying guy could just casually stretch out Christian's hand towards the two very large white tigers. Anne always wanted to scream when she remembered that.
Arriving in the room, Anne immediately knelt down and lowered Christian carefully on the floor. A second later, she removed all the clothes attached to Christian's body. Anne examined every inch of her son's body in detail, and was quite relieved to find that there was no injury found. But Anne still couldn't calm down. It felt like there was still barbed wire holding her back at this moment, which hadn't allowed her to breathe a sigh of relief yet.
"Mommy."
"Yes dear."
"It's cold."
"Jesus." Anne shrieked loudly. "Forgive me, baby, I'm sorry."
Anne then put Christian's clothes back on one by one. From behind the door that was not completely closed, Jack saw everything his wife had done. Jack, who still didn't understand why Anne was suddenly so furious like before, had immediately ran after her, who was carrying Christian.
"Okay, now Christian, hug Mommy," said Anne, half sobbing softly.
Christian smiled at his mother. But just as he was about to hug the woman who was kneeling in front of him, Christian's attention was drawn to the door.
"Daddy!!" Christian screamed loudly as he tried to approach his father, but because his steps were still short, he was immediately caught by the mother who was in front of him.
"Let go of me, Mommy, I want to go to Daddy," Christian half whined.
Anne tightens her grip on Christian even more. "No baby, you're safer with Mommy. From now on you can only be with Mommy."
"No, Mommy, no...! I want to play with Daddy, I want to play with daddy's cats."
"Christian!!! They're not cats, those are tigers, wild Siberian tigers. You can get hurt if you play with them!" Anne scolded loudly. She had never spoken so harshly to Christian all this time, thus Christian instantly froze when he heard his mother's screams.
A second later, Christian burst into tears. His tears were pouring down his already reddened face. Seeing his son crying, Jack couldn't stay still. The man quickly entered the room and grabbed Christian from his wife's arms.
Out of strength, Anne finally failed to defend Christian who was taken by Jack. She immediately tried to chase after Jack, but realizing that Christian was being carried by Jack, Anne finally did not dare to stretch out her hand to hurt her husband. Anne didn't want her actions to hurt Christian.
"Let go of my son, Jack, you have no right..."
"He's also my son, Anne, you have to remember that. Don't you know that he's crying because of what you said?"
Anne immediately shut her mouth tightly. She realized the mistake she had just made.
"One more thing you should know about these tigers is that they are tame tigers. I had the two tigers when they were two weeks old. So they are like house cats to me, they can't hurt me. Let alone pull out their fangs and claws, they don't even roar when they see me. So you don't have to worry when Christian plays with them, because I'm not that crazy to let my son be in danger. I don't mind you hitting me 100 times, but if you make my son cry like that then you will immediately face me, Anne. Remember that well." Jack added his words again. After saying that, Jack then took Christian out of the room, leaving Anne still stood in front of the door.
