Christian turned to Erick who had just responded to his words. “What else? Besides finding out about Zwetta, what else do you want to do in this place? In my country?”
“Luxembourg is also my home and country, Christ.” Jack responds to Christian’s words in a cold, warning tone. “Don’t talk carelessly.”
“What are you talking about? Daddy certainly hasn’t forgotten what I said that time, right?”
“Christian,” Anne sighed softly. “Are we still unable to forgive our mistakes? Don’t we deserve your forgiveness?”
“Mom...”
“You two fighting?” Zwetta cut off Christian’s words unconsciously.
Christian turns to Zwetta. “We’re fine, Zee.”
“Is that true?”
Christian smiles. “Yeah, we’re fine. Oh yeah, if you don’t mind I’d like to ask you a favor, Zee.”
.....
“What kind of help?”
“I left my phone in the car, if you don’t mind I’d like to ask your help to retrieve it.”
Zwetta immediately extended her hand to Christian. “Car key.”
Christian quickly takes his car keys out of his shirt pocket.
“I’ll be right back,” Zwetta said quietly as soon as Christian’s car keys were in her hands.
“Don’t forget your mask, Zee.” Christian tries to remind Zwetta to use her mask which is currently on the sofa.
Zwetta hastily grabbed her mask and put it on immediately, Zwetta nodded her head giving Christian a code as a sign of gratitude for being reminded about her mask. Because she didn’t want to disturb the Clarke family’s small reunion which turned out to be not okay, Zwetta decided to leave immediately, she didn’t want to be a nuisance which would certainly be an obstacle for the family to solve their problems.
After Zwetta closed the door to his office, Christian immediately stood up. An aura of anger that had been suppressed for a long time suddenly appeared, spreading throughout the room.
“What do you want now? Hasn’t your goal of seeing Zwetta been accomplished?” Christian immediately gave a sharp question probing Jack who was sitting next to Anne.
“Are you still mad at us, son?” Jack asked quietly, trying to speak calmly.
Christian shoves his hands into his trouser pockets. “Do you think I should still be angry or not?”
Anne who couldn’t stand it then lifted her buttocks from the chair and immediately approached Christian, but the unexpected happened. Christian suddenly steps back, trying to avoid his mother, which this kind of thing has never happened before.
“I’m not a child who will immediately shut up when given a favorite toy, Mom. So please don’t treat me like that,” Christian says firmly. “I have the freedom to behave!”
Anne immediately covered her mouth with her palms, she looked shocked to get such a cruel rejection from Christian. Even though she had thought that Christian would still be angry with her, Anne still couldn’t accept such cold treatment from her son who had been living apart from her for almost a month.
“Many times you let me down, you treat me like I’m not one of you. You forget that my heart is also made of flesh and blood clots that can feel pain, just like your beloved golden child Asher.” Christian vents his emotions by bringing Asher into his current conversation. Seeing his parents who can come to the office arbitrarily makes Christian a little annoyed, he feels completely unappreciated. Whereas before this he had warned his parents not to come to Luxembourg. “So now you can come to Luxembourg without any guilt just to satisfy your curiosity about Zwetta, can’t you?”
“Christian...”
“Don’t make me hate you even more, Mom,” Christian says quickly. “I’m just trying to take my messed up life slowly even though every path I’ve taken is so sharp, so stop messing things up again.”
In his trouser pockets, Christian’s hands are clenched into fists, trying to calm himself. Even though his lips speak easily, Christian is actually so hurt when he talks to his mother like that. Despite repeatedly receiving unfair treatment from his parents, Christian still doesn’t have the heart to speak to his mother in such a rude manner.
The tears that Anne had been holding back finally spilled out, the wall of defense she had been trying to hold back finally collapsed. After months, finally what he feared happened. Christian refuses, Christian raises his attention to Asher who is not really that small.
“We came with no bad intentions, Christ.” Jack spoke calmly. “Indeed, we came to Luxembourg because we wanted to confirm who Zwetta is. But apart from that, our real goal is to fix all the mistakes we have made before, especially Daddy. Daddy is also guilty of the mess that happened to your relationship with Elena.”
Christian smiles sarcastically. “Want to fix a mistake? What mistake do you guys want to fix? A mistake because you loved Asher more than me or because I lost the only love in my life?”
“Young master.” Erick warns Christian. “Please...”
“Don’t interfere, Erick! This is our family business, so don’t get involved.” Christian snaps at Erick loudly, this time he doesn’t want to hold back anymore. Christian has been too patient with all the chaos that has occurred in his life after Elena’s mysterious disappearance.
Christian turns his face back to his father again. “Daddy doesn’t know if Asher has been stealing company money for the past two years?”
“What? Stealing company money?”
“No way, Asher couldn’t have done such a lowly thing.”
Jack and Anne responded to Christian’s words at the same time, their voices colliding in the air but it didn’t have much effect on Christian who managed to hear clearly what the two were saying.
A sad smile spreads across Christian’s lips, the disappointment that has been tormenting him all this time makes the wound in his heart wide open again. He had just tried to uncover Asher’s cunning, but his parents had already acted like this. Christian really feels that he is being ignored at this time, his parents’ attention is only on Asher alone.
“Asher is part of our family, Christ. There’s no way he would do such a thing, Mommy raised him well. Asher wouldn’t have dared go that far, Mommy knew him very well.” Anne spoke again in a loud voice.
“If only Kainer was around right now, maybe I could show you all about your favorite son’s filthy act,” Christian says hoarsely. “Unfortunately Kainer is lying in the hospital and I don’t have any data showing the theft that Asher committed on you, but I think Erick can definitely help me. Isn’t that right, Erick?” Christian glanced at Erick with a sarcastic look that was so visible.
“I’ll check more carefully, sir,” said Erick quietly. “I will confirm all financial transactions over the past four years.”
“Good, that’s much better.”
In his shock at the news Christian brought over Asher, Jack steps over to Christian. Even though he knew that his son had rejected him, Jack didn’t care. He was ready to accept all the consequences that would be faced.
Jack stopped his steps when he reached Christian, surprisingly Jack dropped himself in front of his son for the second time. Jack kneels before Christian twenty-four years ago, where he meets Christian for the first time after his search for Anne and Christian after his big fight with Anne.
“Jack.” Anne squealed a little when she saw her husband lowering himself in front of his son, as a wife her heart ached to see what her husband was doing at this time.
“Forgive me, Son. I’m sorry for all the mistakes Daddy has done to you, Daddy promises to do whatever you want. Daddy will find Elena for you.”
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
