Chapter 652 - The Best Liar
After giving warnings to his three trusted confidants, Jack then chose to hurry home. He did it solely to cover his embarrassment because he had shared his personal problems with them. Because Jack's mind was so messed up, he didn't realize he was talking nonsense.
"Please take me to Lake Geneva, I want to feed the geese in that place," Jack said quietly to Ruby, the driver.
"Yes, sir."
Ruby quickly turned the wheel, taking the road to Lake Geneva, a place that held many memories for Jack. In the past when he was annoyed and quarreled with his father Jack always came to Lake Geneva to simply feed the swans in the water. And this time when his feelings were upset, Jack decided to go to that place. He was not ready to meet Anne again. Really, he always had a headache when he was close to Anne, his wife was very teasing him. The pheromones produced by Anne's body seemed to be able to be smelled by Jack even though he was in a state of sleep and to be honest it really tortured him.
Jack was not a hypocrite, sex was the most basic need in domestic life. And when he found out that Anne was pregnant, Jack immediately contacted his best doctors, he asked about the dangers of having sex when Anne was pregnant. And now Jack had managed to restrain his desire not to make love during the vulnerable period of Anne's pregnancy, but now when Anne's pregnancy had entered the age of 7 months, to be honest Jack couldn't hold himself back. He was not a saint who would not be tempted by the beautiful body of a woman, especially the woman whom he loved so much. However, because Anne rejected him, Jack thought twice if he wanted to impose his will, even though Anne was currently pregnant with their love, a princess who would complete their little family.
Fifteen minutes later, Jack had arrived at Lake Geneva. He immediately went to a small shop that provides a variety of food for the fish and geese that live in Lake Geneva. With a wide smile, Jack began to throw the special food for geese in his hand into the middle of the lake. Immediately, dozens of geese came to him. They seemed happy to get food from Jack.
"Looks like they haven't eaten since morning, sir. They eat so fast," Ruby said quietly as she continued to throw food at the geese.
Jack smiled. "Not really, swans are amazing animals. Besides they will only be loyal to one mate, they will also share food with the other inhabitants of the lake."
"Sharing food with the other inhabitants of the lake, what do you mean, sir?"
"Watch this," said Jack quietly as he threw the goose food into the lake. Immediately the crowd of geese approached the place where the food that was thrown by Jack fell.
The obedient Ruby then looked at the movement of the geese who were very hungry eating the food given by Jack seriously. He even squinted his eyes to pay attention to more details.
"What do you see?" He asked softly, smiling.
Ruby gulped quickly. "There is nothing strange in addition to the geese were eating it, sir."
"Take a good look, Ruby, every time I throw the food geese it sure makes ripples on the surface of the water. This can be a sign of the fish in the lake about the presence of food, when in fact if they want, the geese can eat in peace. But they chose to make such a fuss, they did it to share the food they got with the fish. It's really amazing, isn't it?"
Ruby widened his eyes. He couldn't believe Jack's words. Out of curiosity, Ruby threw food at the geese, and yes, Ruby saw what Jack said. Under the feet of the geese, dozens of fish were seen eating the debris of the food that came out of the goose's mouth. It was a very extraordinary sight. A small thing that Ruby had never realized in the 20 years he lived in this world. Seeing Ruby was fascinated by what the geese were doing made Jack smile, as he was about to take his soft drink, unexpectedly Jack saw a pregnant woman sitting in the chair right next to his seat now. Judging from the size of the woman's stomach, Jack could guess that her gestational age would not be much different from Anne's. At first, there was nothing strange about the woman until suddenly she immediately cried when talking to his mother on the phone.
Because they sat quite close, Jack could hear anything that this woman was saying to her mother on the phone. From the words she spoke, Jack could guess that she was telling her about the difficult times in her current pregnancy. Starting from the discomfort when sleeping, the pain in the waist and the tightness of breath when she breathed, Jack heard everything.
"When will you come, Mommy? I can't go through this alone, my whole body hurts, Mom. I also can't sleep well, my chest feels so tight," sobbed the pregnant woman in a voice that Jack could hear.
"Okay, I'll wait for your arrival. That's okay, Mom, it looks like Rafael has come to pick me up. I'll call you later, bye, Mom. I love you."
The woman hurriedly turned off the call and immediately put her cell phone in her pocket as her husband came closer. The woman's expression of sadness disappeared when her husband was standing in front of her.
"How was your day?" asked the husband of the woman in a soft voice while touching his wife's stomach.
"Good, no problem."
The man suddenly lowered his head and kissed his wife's big belly. "Hey baby, you didn't bother Mommy, did you?"
The woman chuckled and answered her husband's words so that they both laughed together. Not long after, both of them went from the edge of the lake to their simple car hand in hand.
"Women are creatures who are good at hiding their feelings, sir," said Ruby suddenly with a smile. Apparently, Ruby was also paying attention to the conversation of the husband and wife who had just left.
Jack immediately turned to Ruby quickly. "What do you mean?"
"Women are very smart creatures, sir, besides their strong instincts, they are also good at hiding her feelings. Just like that woman did earlier, she can cry when talking to her mother. Sharing her hardship with the woman who gave birth to her, but when her husband came, she suddenly became as hard as a rock. Whereas before she complained to her mother until she cried, didn't she? What a woman, it's very difficult to understand. Every word she said was the opposite of what she said."
Thump!
Jack's chest tightened suddenly, Ruby's words hit him deeply. Jack immediately thought of Anne. Almost everything that Ruby said happened to Anne. Jack thought back to when Anne had rejected him for sex three days ago, the way Anne had rejected him looked very different. Moreover, Anne also had time to bite her lower lip in a sensual way, damn. Stupid Jack, he couldn't read between the lines of Anne's body language.
Without speaking, Jack then immediately ran to his car quickly, which was followed by Ruby no less quickly.
