208 Charlotte’s arrival
The arrival of Christian and Charlotte received a good welcome from Anne and Suri who were already waiting for them at home, Charlotte who was close to the entire Clarke family immediately mingled with Suri easily. Even though many people know that Suri Mireya Clarke is a very picky person, she doesn’t get close to other people easily. But that did not apply to Charlotte, as soon as the beautiful girl entered the house, Suri immediately approached her and pulled her into the room. A completely different treatment when Christian came with Elena.
“Get some rest, dear. Later when the food is ready, Mommy will call you,” said Anne softly to Christian who was sitting on the sofa with a raised face, staring at the chandelier hanging above the living room where he was currently.
“Wait a minute Mom, I’m trying to catch my breath,” Christian replies, trying to cover up the anxiety that plagues him.
Since setting foot in Geneva thirty minutes ago, Christian has suddenly felt a sense of uneasiness that doesn’t know where it is coming from. Such a disturbing feeling.
Anne, who had just made sure that the fork and knife were on the table, smiled a little, with her graceful steps Anne approached the proud son who looked so very tired of all the problems that had come to him. “Everything will be fine, honey.”
“I hope so Mom, I’m really sick of dealing with this stuff,” Christian says quietly as he sits back up in his seat. “Where’s Daddy, I can’t see him?”
“Daddy isn’t home yet, he seems really busy today,” replied Anne softly. “Just this morning Daddy left when the sun wasn’t fully up yet.”
Christian nods slowly. “I see, no wonder it’s almost eight o’clock at night Daddy isn’t home yet.”
“It’s not just your Daddy who’s so busy, Asher and...”
.....
“Stop, Mom.” Christian stops his mother’s words. “Please don’t say that name in front of me, I don’t want to hear it.”
Anne’s fingers that had touched Christian’s hand tightened, causing Christian to wince slightly in pain. “Asher is your brother, Christ. Please don’t keep fighting him like this, how long are you going to keep blaming Asher for what happened to Suri, hm?”
“Mom...”
“Even though you two don’t come from the same blood, Asher grew up with you. You have shared the same food and love since childhood, is it just because of this misunderstanding that you guys will fight all the time, don’t you? Don’t you feel sorry for Mommy and Daddy?”
Instead of answering his mother’s words, Christian got up from the sofa he was sitting on after he released his mother’s grip from his hand. “I will freshen up before dinner, Mommy can ask the maid to call me in the room if I haven’t come down when the food is ready.”
“Christ...”
Christian who doesn’t want to argue with his mother, decides to keep walking towards his room on the second floor, seeing Christian leave ignoring him, Anne can only sigh. Anne forgot that her son had inherited her husband’s stubbornness.
Not wanting to make dinner late, Anne finally decided to continue with her task, again making sure the food was ready on the dinner table. Charlotte’s very unexpected presence made Anne have to add an extra menu on the dining table, that’s why the chefs are currently making additional food menus to serve and Anne must make sure all the food is ready before everyone gathers at the dinner table.
While Anne was giving directions to her servants, Jack and his two loyal assistants came. Seeing her husband come home, Anne trotted over to him with a big smile.
“Welcome.”
“Has he come?” Jack immediately asked about Christian.
Anne nodded slowly. “Yes, they arrived ten minutes ago.”
One of Jack’s eyebrows rose. “They?”
“Charlotte, Christian took her home,” said Anne quietly. “With Charlotte here, we can confirm directly with the two of them so that this matter can be resolved quickly and does not drag on.”
Jack, who has been so disturbed by the surprising fact that Christian has hidden from him all day, has to let go of the pain again whacking his head when Anne says about Charlotte’s whereabouts at their house right now, although at first he was quite happy to hear the news about Christian and Charlotte’s closeness which was being talked about so much, but this time Jack really didn’t want to meet the girl. Jack feels that the only person who has to explain everything to him is Christian not Charlotte.
“Why? Any problem?” asked Anne, confused, seeing Jack who immediately fell silent made Anne worried.
Jack shook his head. “It’s okay, I’ll take a shower and get ready after that we eat.”
“Okay.”
Putting on his best fake smile, Jack grabbed Anne’s head and kissed her lightly on the forehead before finally leaving for her room leaving Anne with Erick and Nicholas who of course wouldn’t say a single word without Jack’s permission. Realizing that she could not interrogate the husband’s two assistants, Anne then asked the two men to rest in their room before joining the dinner. Without daring to argue, the two men who had decided to devote their lives to Jack then walked to their rooms to rest for a while before dinner. They still had thirty minutes to rest.
Just as Anne was about to return to the kitchen, she was surprised by the late arrival of Asher. Just like when she welcomed Christian and Jack, Anne welcomed Asher home with her best smile. As soon as Asher went up to his room like the others, Anne then rushed to the dining table to continue her pending work. She wanted everything to be done on time.

While all of the Clarke family are enjoying a hearty dinner full of laughter with their guests, being at the villa is not good enough right now. After an unexpected visit from Jack, Elena’s condition deteriorates. She even refused to eat anything which worried Romaria and the others.
Romaria who is afraid that if something bad happens to Elena and her baby can’t do anything but continue to force Elena to eat even though her efforts are in vain, Elena continues to vomit the food she has eaten so that now Romaria is forced to keep watch beside Elena who looks so pale.
“Please allow me to contact the young master now, Miss,” asked Romaria for the umpteenth time.
Elena shook her head again. “No, I’m fine, Romaria. It’s getting late anyway, Christian must be tired.”
“Miss....”
“I’m okay, Romaria. Ah sorry, we’re both okay,” said Elena quietly, trying to melt the tension that was going on in her room. After what Jack said this morning, Elena doesn’t want to see Christian right now. She is trying to mend her broken heart because of the grandfather of the baby she is carrying.
