News about the celebration of the 50th wedding anniversary of Chester Lloyd's parents was spread around town, although what people actually talked about was not the course of events. The charm of Chester Lloyd, the youngest secretary-general of the United Nations who was a widower that stole the attention of all Swiss citizens, his handsomeness truly hypnotized women all over the country. Lots of women were still talking about Chester that morning, as were the staff of Muller Finance International this morning. They all discussed the charm of the handsome widower in almost all places, from parking areas, parks, elevators, and even in the office. The women were completely captivated by the charm of a Chester Lloyd.
"These women are so underwhelming. Why are they talking about a man that they don't even know?" Alice said quietly as she walked towards the elevator with Jack and his two assistants.
"Because gossiping is one of the fun activities for women," Nicholas said quickly, sipping his favorite coffee without guilt.
"Tsk! I'm a woman, but I don't like gossip!" Alice replied curtly to Nicholas' words.
Eric smiled. "That's because you already have me. But when you are still single, that will be a different story."
Alice's face turned red. "Don't be too confident, young man, I'm not gossiping about Chester not because of you."
"If not because of me, then because of what?" Erick asked again teasing his lover.
"Because I don't want to," Alice answered Erick's question briefly and rushed into the elevator following Jack, who had been a good listener to his three subordinates.
As soon as Alice got into the elevator, Erick immediately followed her, the elevator door? professionalism. One thing they always did when they entered the elevator was to stop unnecessary conversations that had nothing to do with work. Soon, the elevator arrived at the highest floor, the floor where Jack's room was.
The boss and the three employees went into their respective offices. Jack, who couldn't wait to talk to Luis, immediately closed the door from the inside because he didn't want to be disturbed while talking to Luis, who was currently at the Allen family's house to give a warning to Giselle's parents directly. Jack had entrusted Giselle's affairs to Luis, he was sure that Luis could make his old friend give up and not interfere with his life with Anne.
After talking for almost 20 minutes with Luis on the phone, Jack smiled widely. He was delighted to hear Luis' report. Brandon Allen and his wife finally found out that they're dealing with the wrong person, even Giselle, who initially didn't admit that she was after Jack, ended up dying when Luis revealed all her secrets in front of his parents and lover, Frederick. Frederick himself, who had previously spoken to Jack, couldn't say anything. He just kept his mouth shut and became a good listener when Luis gave the family a final warning. As the best former special police officer in Luxembourg, Luis' way of speaking was so authoritative and intimidating that no one in the Allen family's living room could argue with him.
"Thank God, hopefully after this everything will be fine. I just want to live happily with my wife and children," said Jack quietly with his eyes closed when his conversation with Luis was cut off.
After venting his happiness for a while, Jack then returned to busy with his work. A major collaboration project with Connery Corporation was about to be carried out. The construction of an artificial island like in Dubai was about to be realized in Korea and Jack was very excited about it. His relationship with Aaron was really very good. Jack believed the project that Connery Corporation was working on would become an extraordinary masterpiece in East Asia.

< Jack's Mansion, 13.00 PM >
"Swallow the food first, honey, don't go yet."
"Baby, come on, just a little bit more."
"Come on baby, Mommy is tired of chasing you."
"Don't go to the tiger area, dear, Daddy's in the office."
"One more spoonful of food, Christian."
Anne looked exhausted when she was feeding Christian food. The child was really very active and only wanted to eat if his mother fed him. The bigger Anne's stomach got, the more spoiled Christian was. In fact, this had been discussed by Doctor Caitlyn to her and Anne was very ready to face the change in her first son's attitude. Therefore, Anne was very patient when it took Christian almost an hour to finish his meal.
Actually, from the beginning, Anne did not want to give Christian a sister. According to Anne, Christian's age, who was still two years old, was not enough to give Christian a sister. Especially considering how less love Christian had had from Jack since childhood, but because Jack was impatient, he kept Anne imprisoned in bed until she finally got pregnant. It was a pregnancy that Anne did not plan at all, but because Jack kept reassuring Anne that Christian would be fine, Anne finally accepted her pregnancy well.
"Ah..."
"Madam, what are you doing?"
"Is your stomach contracting, Madam?"
"Should we call the doctor, Madam?"
"Yeah, I'll just call the Master first then..."
"No, this is just a kick. It seems my daughter will become a tough woman in the future, the kicks she's been giving lately are getting more and more painful," said Anne quietly forbidding her maid to contact Jack.
The four maids then knelt around Anne who was sitting in her chaise longue.
"Are you sure, Madam? Your face is a little pale."
Anne nodded her head slowly. "Sure, I'm only eight months pregnant after all. There's still a few weeks left for my daughter to be born."
"Does your stomach still hurt now, Madam?" asked one of the maids to Anne, who had just been drinking water.
"No, my stomach is fine, and please make sure Christian finishes all his food..."
"No, I only want to eat with Mommy, not with other maids!" Christian loudly interrupted Anne's words, suddenly appearing in front of Anne.
Anne smiled. She then waved her hand towards her beloved son whose blue eyes were staring at him intently. "Come on over here, Mommy wants to hug you."
Instead of doing his mother's orders, Christian suddenly put his hands on his hips. "No, I don't want Mommy hugging me. I'm not a kid anymore. I'm an older brother now."
Anne chuckled. "So when you're big, you don't want to be hugged anymore, right?"
"Sure."
"So what?"
"I don't want my baby sister laughing at me, Mommy," Christian said loudly.
Anne's laughter got louder. She then got up and approached Christian who was standing not far from her. "If you don't want to hug Mommy, Mommy will hug you," said Anne quietly as she knelt down and hugged Christian.
Although at first he refused, but eventually Christian accepted his mother's embrace and used his tiny hands to return the hug to his mother.
"How long will it take for the little princess to be born, Mom?" Christian asked softly as he hugged his mother.
"A few more weeks," said Anne softly.
"Why is it taking so long? Have I been in Mommy's tummy too long?"
Anne chuckled in amusement and released her arms from the body of her very adorable first son. "Of course, all babies in this world have the same time while in their mother's womb to grow before they are ready to be born into the world, baby."
Christian nodded his head. He seemed to understand what his mother was talking about. Seeing her son's adorable expression, Anne became exasperated and hugged him tightly again before finally Anne suddenly felt a more intense pain in her stomach.
