Chapter 141



Suri’s chest rose and fell as she spoke, hearing the news that her brother was getting married in the next two weeks made her almost crazy. Suri is not ready to share her brother’s affection with other women.

Anne put the teacup in her hand, Anne gently touched Suri’s reddened cheeks. “Your brother has thoroughly investigated all of Elena’s background, dear.”

“Mommy is sure Christian did? Who knows he’s lying, right?”

“Suri,” Anne said the name of her beloved daughter softly. “Didn’t Mommy tell you everything, huh?”

“Yes, but...”

“No buts, dear. As long as your brother is happy, Mommy and Daddy agree to his wishes. Likewise with you later, when you come with your future husband, Mommy and Daddy will give your blessing. Your happiness is the most important thing for you. Mommy and Daddy,” said Anne softly again, trying to calm Suri, who still didn’t seem willing to let Christian go to another woman.

Suri stomped her feet on the floor, one of her trademarks when she was upset. Seeing that Jack pursed his lips, just as Anne did, Jack also got up from the sofa where he was sitting and moved to Suri’s side.

“It’s time for your brother to get married, my dear. He is of age.” Jack accompanied Anne’s words softly.

.....

“Daddy...”

“Daddy will make sure your brother will continue to pamper you, honey. So don’t be afraid to lose your brother even though he’s married.”

Suri immediately hit her father’s chest hard. “Akh Daddy, can’t you be serious. I’m being serious.”

Jack chuckled. “Daddy’s serious too, honey. Daddy knows you’re afraid of losing your brother’s love, right?”

“Yes, but that’s not the only reason,” said Suri quietly.

“Isn’t that the reason? What other reason is there?” asked Anne curiously.

Slowly Suri sat up straight, her two blue beads moving, staring intently at her mother. “I feel like I’ve met that girl named Elena, Mom. And in our meeting at that time Elena didn’t look as weak as she had shown Mommy and Daddy.”

“Ever met her? How come? I mean when?” Jack immediately responded to Suri’s words with high curiosity.

Suri shook her head. “I forget where and when exactly I met her. It’s just... it’s just that I feel familiar since the first time I saw her at my birthday party that night,” replied Suri slowly trying to remember where she had met Elena.

“Ok, Daddy will try to discuss this with your brother first. Daddy will make sure your brother doesn’t choose the wrong wife,” said Jack softly.

Suri nodded slowly, even though her lips were tightly closed but her eyes clearly still wanted to talk. Because it was quite late, Anne then invited Suri to return to her room. At first Suri refused, but finally Suri agreed to return to her room after her mother promised to investigate Elena.

“Good night, dear,” said Anne softly to Suri who was already lying on the bed.

“Goodnight, Mommy.”

“Mommy loves you, Suri.”

Suri smiled. “I love Mommy too.”

“Sweet dreams, ok.”

Suri nodded slowly, after landing a kiss on her beloved daughter’s forehead, Anne slowly got up from the bed which was dominated by pink color and rushed out of the room, leaving Suri who was staring at her without blinking. Although Anne was a little disturbed by Suri’s previous words about Elena, Anne did not want to ask Suri further. Anne is afraid that if she asks too many questions to Suri, she can evoke Suri’s trauma, which has begun to heal, Anne doesn’t want Suri to be afraid of meeting people like a few months ago.

“Are you sleeping already?” asked Jack quietly startling Anne who had just come out of Suri’s room.

Anne shook her head. “Not yet, but Suri looks sleepy already. That’s why I came out.”

“Thankfully, Suri needs a lot of rest.”

“Yeah you’re right Jack. It’s just...”

“Just what?”

Anne lifted her face to look sadly at Jack. “It’s just that I was a little disturbed by what Suri said earlier.”

“Which sentence?”

“About Suri’s statement that she had met with Elena before,” answered Anne quietly. “Is it possible that Elena was involved in Suri’s kidnapping three years ago?”

Jack immediately froze, his face changed. “Elena was involved in Suri’s kidnapping?”

“Jack.” Anne immediately calmed Jack who was starting to get emotional. “I’m just guessing, watch your temper. Remember, Elena is the girl Christian has chosen. We’ve hurt Christian so many times, I don’t want to hurt him again.”

Jack clenched his jaw. “If that girl is really involved in kidnapping Suri, I will definitely take revenge on her, let alone give her permission to marry Christian, I just don’t want to see it again.”

“Jack ...”

“I will investigate the girl, if she is proven to be involved in kidnapping Suri then I will immediately throw her into prison,” Jack said with a sigh, although the information he just heard could not be guaranteed but Jack was already angry. Recalling what happened to Suri made Jack’s anger immediately ignite. “An eye for an eye, a foot for a foot.”

Anne, who felt guilty because she had spoken nonsense, then put her hands on her husband’s cheeks. “Jack, hear me, what I said just now is just a guess. You can’t just accuse the girl like this, you have to remember Jack, that girl is the girl your son chose. You can’t be rash.”

“I know Anne, I know that the girl is our son’s chosen girl. But if she was involved in kidnapping Suri, then do I still have to accept it? No, Anne. Our daughter has suffered and feared for three years, then is it because of her?” is our Christian wife-to-be not standing still, is she? Oh no, I wouldn’t be able to stand still when I saw the person who had made my daughter suffer to laugh out loud.”

“Jack...”

“I’ll investigate Anne, don’t worry. I won’t do anything if I don’t know the truth, don’t worry.”

After saying that Jack then walked towards the stairs with his hand already holding the cellphone, Jack immediately called his two assistants to come to his house tonight. Seeing Jack go straight away, Anne could not help but be silent. She was a little sorry for talking to Jack like that, Anne forgot that Jack still couldn’t control his emotions well. Jack was still the same as ever, still very explosive.

“Oh God, please keep peace in my family. We can only smile after the test you gave us for these three years....please give the best for our family, God.”

“Hachi...”

Christian who was talking to a wedding ring designer turned his head back to Elena who was sneezing again. “Looks like you haven’t recovered yet.”

“I’m fine, Christ,” Elena said quickly, as fast as her hand rebuffed Christian’s hand that wanted to touch her forehead.

Christian shakes his head slowly. “When you’re healed you won’t be sneezing like this, Elena.”

“Sneezing is not a sign that the person is sick.”

“But for people who have just recovered from such a high fever it feels like it’s still closely related.”

“Christ!” Elena immediately gripped Christian’s hand tightly. “Don’t look for trouble, we’re at the jewelry store. I’m really fine, I’m fine.”

“Is that true?”

“Yeah, what do I have to do to make you believe me, hm?”

Christian grins broadly, Elena’s new question so pleasant to hear. “Ok, prove your words tonight in my bed.”

Elena’s cheeks immediately felt hot. “Christ!”

Christian chuckles. “Ok..ok..wait for me, we’ll talk about your sneeze later. Now I want to settle things about our wedding rings first.”

After saying that, Christian refocused his attention on the jewelry ring designer who was patiently waiting for Christian, the middle-aged woman could only smile a little seeing the debate of the young husband and wife in front of her at this time. Even though Christian owns a jewelry company, Christian chooses his wedding ring from elsewhere. Christian wanted to give other people a chance to design a ring as life-as-death as Elena.

Not wanting Christian to get angry again, Elena immediately takes her handkerchief out of her pocket as she sneezes again. Elena tries to make as little noise as possible even though what she’s doing right now is useless as Christian can hear the sound of her sneezing which she’s been trying to cover up.

“Your future wife is very sweet, Mr. Clarke. She is so adorable,” the wedding ring designer whispers to Christian carefully.

Christian takes a deep breath. “She’s not only adorable but also annoying, tough on me and likes to go against my orders.”

“But that’s why you love her too,” teased the designer again.

“Yeah, she’s the only girl I’ve had a lot of trouble with,” Christian replies honestly. “She’s the only girl who turned me down so many times.”

“Wow..it seems that this lady is really very unique. You are lucky to have her, sir.”

Christian smiles. “Yeah, I’m very lucky to have it.”

As Christian and the designer speak in whispers, Elena who is sitting alone on the single sofa can’t hear anything. To relieve boredom, Elena chose to play games on her cellphone, but when she was about to take out her cellphone, suddenly Elena’s attention was immediately drawn to the figure of a woman with a thick coat who had been staring at her without blinking. Feeling uncomfortable being watched by strangers, Elena then canceled her intention to play the game. Elena prefers to get closer to Christian, Elena moves a seat behind Christian.

Christian, who was surprised that Elena suddenly leaned against him, immediately stopped talking to the designer who was explaining the recommended models of the best wedding rings.

“What is it?” Christian asks softly.

“I’m sleepy,” replied Elena lying, still too afraid to tell Christian about the whereabouts of the mysterious woman who was already walking towards the exit. Elena doesn’t want Christian to get into trouble.

Christian purses his lips. “Go to sleep, you can use my back to lean on. Our meeting will be over soon, be patient, okay?”

Elena nodded slowly. “Okay.” While landing her head on Christian’s shoulder.

Christian touches Elena’s head in exasperation, seeing Elena spoiling him like this is one of the nice things. Not wanting to make Elena wait too long, Christian then refocuses his attention on the middle-aged woman who has been so patient in explaining everything to him.
