Chapter 570 - A Little Brother
Anne leaned her body on the sofa shortly after she enjoyed some fruit on the table. She chose to enjoy dinner in the room instead of having to join the others in the dining room. Anne also only had a few pieces of fruit that night because she had lost her appetite. Another fight with Jack made her loose her appetite.
After drinking the chamomile tea the maid had made, Anne sat on the balcony, trying to call Linda, who had already started the treatments for the pregnancy program she was doing. Linda and Paul didn't tell Anne what they were doing, so Anne didn't know anything. That was why Anne contacted Linda last night, even though Linda had been sleeping since the afternoon with Paul.
"Why is Linda's phone number off? And Paul's too. There's no way they're asleep. Isn't it still 7 pm in Aberdeen right now?" Anne muttered under her breath as she looked at the clock that appeared on her cell phone.
Switzerland was one hour ahead of Scotland. That was why Anne now thought that it was 7pm in Scotland, because it was 8 pm in Switzerland now. While In fact, Linda and Paul were in Luxembourg, which didn't have a time difference with Switzerland.
Unable to contact Linda, Anne finally chose to read the latest magazine in front of her. She accidentally read an article about Aaron and his wife, Lily-Rose. Anne smiled when she saw Aaron and Rose were happy even though they didn't have children yet after 3 years of their marriage.
"You deserve to be happy, Aaron. Rose is the right woman for you," said Anne softly, her eyes were still on the photo of Aaron posing with Rose in the living room of their big house. Anne was happy to see Aaron was finally happy with another woman. At least, her guilt for rejecting Aaron many times was now gone because Aaron already had someone who was able to accompany him in his ups and downs.
After flipping through the pages of the fashion magazines on the balcony for 15 minutes, sleepiness finally arrived. She was actually really needed sleep after her long activity with Jack the last few days, so she finally decided to sleep. When she entered the room, Anne again saw the variety of delicious foods that she had not touched at all on the table, but because of the drowsiness that was unbearable, she finally chose to sleep rather than eat. With a thick blanket to cover her body, Anne finally fell asleep quickly. She was really tired and needed a lot of rest. Jack had exhausted himself the last few days.
Five minutes after Anne went to sleep, the bedroom door opened from the outside and Jack appeared holding Christian. Since then Christian had been whining, asking to be taken to see his mother, so Jack couldn't help but grant his son's request even though he was still upset with Anne.
"See, Mommy's asleep. We'd better get out and don't disturb Mommy," Jack whispered softly to Christian, who was still trying to get out of his arms.
Christian watched Anne's sleeping face. "Did Mommy just cry, Daddy?"
Jack shook his head. "No, Mommy's not crying. Mommy's sleeping, son."
"Then why do Mommy's eyes look like she has just been crying?"
Jack kissed the top of his son's head gently, Christian was a smart kid and Jack had to be careful talking to his son. "Mommy's just tired, honey, she wasn't crying."
"Tired? What did Mommy do to get so tired?"
Jack brought his face close to Christian's plump cheeks. "Mommy is tired because she just finished playing with Daddy since last night, so Mommy has to sleep to get her energy back."
"What did Daddy invite Mommy to play to make Mommy tired like that?" Christian asked even more curious.
Jack chuckled. "Fun games."
"Fun games?"
"Yeah, you'll know when you grow up. Now let's just go back downstairs, okay? Don't disturb Mommy," said Jack, gently persuading his son to leave their room.
Christian initially refused, but because he continued to be persuaded by Jack, he finally melted. The boy then chose to continue his game in the playroom with Erick and Nicholas. When Jack was about to close the door to his room with Anne, his eyes looked at the table, where none of the food prepared by the maids had been touched by Anne. The two apples that Anne had eaten did not change much from the amount of food that was still intact. Suddenly, a feeling of guilt rose within Jack.
Not wanting to make his son worry, Jack finally took steps to quickly leave his bedroom and immediately rushed to the playroom on the first floor. Jack intended to return to the room without Christian. He must resolve the issue with Anne as soon as possible. Jack didn't want to repeat the same mistake as before, even though he was also guilty of their previous fight because he didn't tell Anne about the existence of his two white tigers in the first place.

"Daddy, I want to play monopoly again. But Erick and Nicholas don't want to play anymore," Christian whined, his voice was shaking as if he was about to cry.
Jack, who had just enjoyed his coffee, immediately turned his face to Erick and Nicholas, who were sitting in front of his son on the floor. Jack's eyes stared intently at Erick and Nicholas. As if understanding the master's gaze, the two men then again invited the young master to continue the game. Christian screamed with joy when his father's two assistants were willing to play with him again. Even though he had won many times, Christian never got tired of playing the game. Monopoly and putting together puzzles were two of his favorite games with Paul. That was why Christian always wanted to play it every chance he got.
"Daddy, where are you going?" Christian screamed loudly when he saw Jack was about to leave the playroom.
Jack smiled. "Daddy has to wake Mommy to eat."
"Why did Mommy have to be woken up? Didn't you say that Mommy needed rest after playing with you last night?" Christian asked innocently.
Blush
Instantly, Jack's face turned red. In front of about twenty of his maids, he received a critical question from his son. Erick and Nicholas even covered their mouths to keep from laughing. Damn! Jack was humiliated by his own son.
With embarrassment, Jack walked over to Christian, who was still looking at him questioningly. "Are you ready to have a brother?"
"Little brother? I will have a little brother?" Christian screamed hysterically.
Jack smiled. "Yes, a little brother who will be your playmate."
