I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Chapter 547 - Found You



After playing in the rain for some time, Paul eventually took Christian back into the house. Although at first he refused, but Christian finally obeyed when he was bathed by his mother in the bathroom on the first floor. Meanwhile, Paul, who had just finished taking a shower, had just finished making hot tea for him and chocolate milk for Christian. When he was about to enjoy his hot tea in the living room, Paul's steps stopped when he saw his wife sitting dreamily by the glass.

"What's bothering you?" Paul asked quietly, interrupting Linda's thoughts.

Linda took a deep breath. "I've just discussed about Jack with Anne."

Thump! 

The smile on Paul's face immediately disappeared. He quickly grabbed Linda's hand and led her into the room.

"Why do you have to talk about it now, Linda?" Paul asked coldly.

"When do I have to talk about this? Anne must know as soon as possible that her ex-husband is still looking for her. I can't possibly be quiet and do nothing when I know Jack's men are still spying on my family in the village. It's better for me to tell her everything now, Paul, because if she knows the truth then she will be prepared," answered Linda at length. She tried not to speak loudly so as not to make Anne suspicious.

Paul took a deep breath. "They haven't divorced, Linda, so they're still husband and wife."

"Well you know, legally Jack has full rights over Christian. That's why I told Anne everything to prepare her for the worst, Paul."

Paul was silent hearing his wife's words. He actually knew that all this time Linda had been trying to calm herself down in dealing with the problems that befell her parents. Linda pretended that nothing happened in front of Anne, when in fact she was very nervous when she found out that her family was constantly under pressure from Jack's men, who already live in a house not far from Linda's family home in the village.

"Then what are we going to do? Should we find a new place to live?" Paul asked Linda back in a soft voice.

Linda shook her head. "That's not a way out, Paul. The further we run, the more eager Jack will chase us. I'm sure you know how powerful Jack is right now, we are nothing in his eyes, Paul."

"Yes, I know. But I won't let him take Christian. We have taken care of Christian since he was in Anne's womb. I will never let the baby I take care of like my own child be taken away!" said Paul fiery.

"I won't let that happen as well, that's why I talked to Anne. She has to keep Christian, I can't imagine if we were separated from Christian, Paul. I can't live without him, since I was told by the doctor that I can't get pregnant three years ago, Christian was my encouragement, sob...I don't want to be separated from him, Paul... I don't want to..."

Linda's tears that had been suppressed for a long time finally broke. She cried in Paul's arms who embraced her lovingly. Three years ago, Linda was told that she couldn't get pregnant by a doctor while still living in London. At that time, Linda had intended to commit suicide because she thought she had failed as a woman. But Paul firmly accepted Linda's condition and vowed not to leave her until death parted them. So when Anne contacted them and told them about her being pregnant and being dumped by Jack, without a second thought, Linda immediately went to Anne and reached out to her. Linda felt that the presence of the baby in Anne's womb at that time was the most beautiful gift from God for her, Linda felt grateful to be given the opportunity by God to take care of a baby, even though it did not come from her own womb. Because of that, Linda loved Christian more than anything else, and so did Paul, who already considered Christian as his own child. That was why they both don't want to be separated from Christian.

Without Linda and Paul knowing, Anne had overheard their words. Initially, Anne wanted to ask Linda where Christian's hair comb was, but after hearing the serious conversation between the couple, Anne finally heard the husband and wife's words. When she heard Linda's cry, who always lamented her fate, Anne was always sad. She felt sorry for Linda who couldn't feel what she felt.

"Don't worry, Linda, Christian is not going anywhere. You two are still Christian's mom and dad too, you will never be replaced. I promise to defend my son as hard as I can, I will make sure the bad guy won't be able to take Christian away from us," said Anne inwardly with teary eyes.

"Mommy, I'm hungry, I want my chocolate milk."

Christian screams startled Anne, who was still standing in front of Linda's and Paul's bedroom door.

"Okay, baby, wait a minute. Mommy will prepare the chocolate milk," replied Anne quickly as she ran to Christian who was already neat and smelling good in his baby chair.

Christian chuckled at his mother's words, he returned to focus on his favorite cartoon and waited patiently for his favorite chocolate to be prepared. Anne did not know that Paul had prepared chocolate milk for her son.

< The Clarke Enterprise >

The footsteps of two young men could be heard clearly as they entered the main meeting room of Clarke's Jewel. The two men went straight into a tightly closed room without knocking on the door first.

"You..."

"Forgive our rudeness, sir, but this is important," said Erick quickly cut off Jack's words.

"Yes sir, this is related to operation A1." Nicholas added to Erick's words.

Jack immediately stood up when he heard the words of his two assistants. Without speaking, he immediately got up from his chair and rushed to Erick and Nicholas but just as he was about to take a step, suddenly a young woman blocked Jack's steps with her body.

"We're still meeting, sir, you can't just leave and akkk..."

The woman's words were stopped when Jack suddenly grabbed her neck tightly and suddenly made everyone in the room shocked.

"You're just a lowly employee so don't cross your limits, you have no right to control me!"

The woman's face immediately turned pale when she heard Jack's words, but it didn't matter because after that Jack immediately slammed his body on the floor violently without any pity.

"Fire her, I don't want to see her again in my company," said Jack coldly without looking at the floor where the woman he just pushed was still sitting on the floor with a face as white as paper.

Erick and Nicholas couldn't help but sigh when they saw the scene that had just happened. The master was really still very scary.

"Go straight to the point," Jack said quietly when he was out of the room.

Erick took out his cell phone and showed it to Jack. He then said all the things his men had just reported. As long as Erick spoke, Jack didn't interrupt him at all. The cold look in his eyes slowly faded and looked softer.

"Prepare my jet. We will fly there immediately."

"Yes, sir." Erick and Nicholas answered Jack's words in unison.
