Chapter 648 - Fail
"Nicholas!!" Anne's tone seemed surprised when she saw her dressed as a woman complete with wig and fake breasts.
"S-so, you're the woman who stopped the car in front of the gate?" Anne shouted loudly.
Nicholas chuckled and removed the wig he was wearing. "Y-yes Madam, sorry if I startled you."
Anne shook her head. She couldn't believe that Nicholas would do such a thing. "Why are you doing this? Ah no, I mean who asked you to do this?"
As he took off the women's clothes he was wearing, Nicholas pointed at Erick which made Anne immediately turn to Erick.
"Can you explain this, Erick?" rebuked Anne in a rising voice. She didn't like seeing Nicholas' appearance that was so messed up.
Erick chuckled then explained to Anne the reason Nicholas dressed like a woman like that. While Erick spoke, Anne was the only one who didn't laugh when everyone else laughed. Instead, she frowned and continued to stare intently at Erick without blinking.
"So Nicholas is doing this to buy us time so you guys can finish all these surprises?" asked Anne quietly when Erick had finished speaking.
"Yes ma'am," answered Erick, Alice and all the maids in front of Anne in unison.
"But why Nicholas? He's a man, when there are lots of women in this house?" Anne again asked Erick a question. She still couldn't fully accept everyone's reasons.
"Because it was Nicholas' name that came out when we were doing the lottery, Anne, so I couldn't help but have to do it." Alice answered Anne's question while showing Anne the fishbowl.
"Jesus... you guys are really something. Right now you guys are helping Nicholas take off all his disguises. I'm so sorry for him," said Anne slowly with a long sigh.
Jack, who had folded his arms across his chest, then walked over to his wife who was still observing Erick and Alice who were helping Nicholas taking off all the clothes he was wearing.
"Do you like this surprise?" Jack whispered softly in Anne's ear.
Anne turned and glared at Jack who was standing behind her. "Next time don't give me a welcoming party like this if someone else is sacrificed, can't you see how screwed up Nicholas is? How could he."
"Hey, you don't like this surprise because of Nicholas?" Jack asked in disbelief.
Anne shrugged her shoulders. "Why don't you guess yourself," Anne held out her hand for Luis to give Christian to him.
"I can take him, Madam," said Luis softly, gently refusing Anne's request to give the little boy who was fast asleep to his mother.
Anne's eyes gleamed sharply, full of anger. She then approached Luis and immediately grabbed her son's body from Luis' arms. "I can bear the pain of giving birth, so why can't I carry my own son who is sleeping?"
"But you're carrying our princess, dear," said Jack in response to Anne's words.
Anne who was already carrying Christian turned to Jack. "Then why is that? Besides, my daughter won't mind if I carry her brother."
After saying that, Anne then stepped into the elevator with Christian in her arms. Because the lift was already on the first floor Anne didn't take long to wait. She immediately entered the elevator to the second floor, leaving everyone who at this time looked very surprised at the madam's attitude and did not like the surprise party that was prepared for her because she saw Nicholas dressed as a woman.
Of all the people who seemed surprised at Anne's attitude, Luis was the only one who was calm and now even smoking his cigar, what the hell.
"D-did our surprise fail, sir?" Erick asked hoarsely at Jack who was still staring at Anne who had just come out of the elevator and was still carrying Christian to their bedroom without difficulty, even though her stomach was already very big because of their princess. Oh my God, angry women erre really terrible.
Jack took a deep breath. "I don't know, I'm also confused. It's clear that right now it's better that you don't mention anything about what happened earlier, I'm sure Anne won't like it." Jack's face looked sad, showing a very big disappointment at this time.
Hearing the master's words made everyone on the first floor feel guilty, including Nicholas, who had now managed to remove all his disguise attributes.
"Do I need to apologize to the madam, sir?" Nicholas asked quietly, he felt guilty for having appeared before Anne in a state of chaos.
Jack shook his head. "No, let her calm down. If she's angry like this, we better give her some time, I don't want her to get angrier if we bother her again."
Nicholas nodded his head, so did Erick and Alice. They felt even guilty because they had made a surprise party for the mistress failed.
When everyone was disappointed, Luis suddenly coughed. The man who had been banned from smoking apparently forgot and made everyone panic when he saw him holding a cigar, especially Jack, who immediately got angry and grabbed the cigar Luis was holding.
"Watch your health, Luis," Jack snapped loudly, he really didn't see Luis starting to smoke his cigar.
Louis smiled. "One cigar won't kill me, sir."
"Fuck, don't talk about death and again you have to live long. Remember your duty, you have to educate Christian well so that he becomes a great man that is invincible. So don't try to leave the task that you have carried out, Luis." Jack's eyes widened as he spoke.
Luis smiled again. "Relax Master, a sinful person like me will definitely find it difficult to die. So don't worry, I will definitely teach young master to be an extraordinary man."
"Don't promise, Luis. I don't like it. You better prove it and for that you have to get rid of this habit of yours. I don't want Christian to breathe poison from the cigarettes you smoke."
Luis suddenly got up and immediately gave a salute to Jack. "Yes sir."
Jack didn't respond to Luis' words. He was in a very bad mood right now. Annoyed, Jack finally decided to go up to the second floor following his wife and children. Jack wanted to make sure Anne and their children were okay. Seeing Anne carrying Christian who was already gaining weight made Jack almost go crazy earlier, but because Anne was angry, he couldn't do anything but be silent as he watched her carry Christian to their room.
After the master was invisible from their sight, one by one the maids began to leave the place to return to their respective jobs. It turned out that the surprise party that was made full of tension was in vain. The madam did not like it and was angry at this time.
The look of disappointment was clearly reflected in Erick, Alice, and Nicholas, who were still standing near Luis who was still looking at Jack who went up to the second floor.
"What did we do wrong, Luis?" Alice asked softly to Luis who was now smiling.
Luis turned to Alice. "Madam is a very kind woman, she hates to see someone close to her in trouble. So when she found out that Nicholas had gone to such trouble, it was natural for her to be angry."
"Then what should we do now, Luis? All the surprises we have made for the madam have gone to waste," Nicholas said desperately.
Louis chuckled. "Believe me, nothing is wasted. Now give Madam some time, I'm sure once she calms down everything will be better. Trust me, Madam is very kind, she can't possibly not appreciate all of your efforts."
Erick, Nicholas, and Alice nodded their heads at the same time. This was the first time that Jack's three confidants looked very sad because their work was not liked by the madam. It was a bit of an exaggeration indeed, but it seemed that the three of them were indeed compatible with Jack, who both had odd nature and were difficult for others to understand.
Luis smiled again when he saw the master's three assistants sitting on the same sofa while leaning against each other. It was really cute to see the three intelligent people experiencing disappointment.
When Jack arrived at his room, he smiled when he saw Anne was sleeping in bed with Christian. The cold atmosphere of the room apparently made Anne, who still hadn't had enough sleep, continued to sleep. Cautiously, Jack sat beside Anne who was sleeping on her side.
"Thank you for everything, dear. Thank you for all your sacrifices during these months. I love you, Anne, I love you very much. I don't know what would have happened if I arrived in Luxembourg not meeting you first. Believe me, Anne, I will make you and the children happy forever. If only Mommy and Daddy were still alive they would definitely love you, just like I love you to death, Anne," said Jack quietly as he continued to touch Anne's cheeks, which were plump since she was pregnant.
Being carried away by the atmosphere, finally Jack also laid down behind Chistian. Fortunately, their bed had been changed to the largest bed so that when three people slept i it, it was still quite comfortable and spacious. Jack lovingly kissed his son's forehead which was slightly wet with sweat.
"Slepp well baby boy, you will be a great big brother to your sister, dear. Thank you for being born healthy and perfect even without Daddy beside you, dear. I love you Christian, I love you."
Jack's words sounded softer as his beautiful eyes closed as he followed his wife and son to dreamland. Christian's smile widened, as if the boy knew what his father had said to him. The handsome boy looked more and more like Jack as he grew, the heir to the Clarke family that the late master David Clarke coveted at the end of his life.
