123 Reveal the Secret between Christian and Asher
Luckily last night Suri had promised Christian to wake up by forgetting all the bad things that had happened in her past, so now when she has to meet Areez and Aldrich who come as guests at dinner with her family again Suri looks so calm. Unlike before, where she couldn’t control herself until she finally fell unconscious.
“You really have such a magnificent house, Mr. Clarke,” said Aldrich a second time honestly. “You have such amazing taste.”
Jack smiled. “Give your credit to my wife, Mr. White. She is the mastermind of all the beauty and layout of this house.”
“Jack..” Anne mumbled warning Jack not to speak nonsense to their two guests.
Jack immediately grabbed Anne’s hand and squeezed it gently. “My wife is indeed too shy, she never likes it when her work is known to many people.”
Aldrich thinned his lips at Jack’s words, although at this time Aldrich was so nervous and restless but Aldrich tried to remain calm by trying to invite Jack to continue chatting. An hour ago Aldrich and Areez had a big fight after Areez forced to come to Jackson Clarke’s house, knowing that Suri had been allowed to go home made Areez want to see her condition in person. That was why they were both at Jackson Clarke’s by now, sitting with Suri who had not spoken much since coming to the table ten minutes ago.
Asher, who didn’t know what relationship Suri and Areez had, looked so calm as he wiped Suri’s lips from the remaining barbecue sauce. Asher didn’t realize that since his arrival with Suri ten minutes ago, Areez had been giving him a hateful look and Suri knew that Areez was watching her and Asher, but Suri decided not to react. Suri chose to remain silent and pretended not to know Areez and Aldrich.
“Dad.”
Jack immediately turned to Suri who had just called him. “Yes dear.”
.....
“I’m full,” said Suri slowly.
“Don’t want some desert?”
“My stomach won’t be able to hold any more food, Dad. Asher has been forcing me to keep eating.” Suri blamed Asher for what happened to her and Asher who was wiping his lips did not give any reaction.
Jack chuckled. “Well if you don’t want to enjoy dessert, you can go back to...”
“I want to watch a movie with Asher, Dad.”
“Ok..ok..you can come back with Asher,” replied Jack relented and invited Asher to go with her to leave the dining table.
Jack is a very disciplined person, he doesn’t like it when people leave the table when the banquet is not over. But this time, when Suri spoke, Jack couldn’t move. Whatever Suri said was an order for him.
With a broad smile, Suri then invited Asher to leave the dining table immediately. Suri feels uncomfortable being in the same place as Areez. As soon as she reached the garden beside the house, Suri immediately took a deep breath, filling her chest with fresh oxygen.
“Are you alright? Should I call a nurse?” Asher land was worried.
Suri shook her head. “No, I’m fine.”
“You’re still uncomfortable around strangers, aren’t you?” guessed Asher quickly.
“A little,” replied Suri lying, at this moment she was very scared. Being at the same table with Areez who didn’t take his eyes off her made Suri depressed.
Asher smiled. “You don’t have to be afraid anymore, Suri. You have me, Uncle and Christian who will protect you with our lives.”
“You don’t have to risk your life too, are you really on the battlefield?” said Suri amused. “Oh yeah, I didn’t see Christian and...”
“Elena?”
Siri nodded slowly. “Yes Christian and that girl, where are they? They can’t be back in Luxembourg again, can they?” Suri still doesn’t want to mention Elena’s name, Suri still feels uncomfortable.
“From the information I got from Kainer, this afternoon Christian took his girlfriend to drive the car together. No one knows where they were going because Christian didn’t say anything to Kainer or the others.”
Suri took a deep breath.
“Christian will not return to Luxembourg, Suri. Don’t worry, maybe he is currently taking his girlfriend around Geneva so he can’t come to dinner with us,” added Asher again.
“Have Mommy and Daddy agreed to Christian’s plan to marry that girl?” Suri asked suddenly, stopping Asher from sitting on a bench in the park.
Asher who was back standing beside Suri shook his head. “I don’t know, Uncle and Aunty weren’t discussing that sort of thing while you were sleeping this afternoon.”
“Really? You’re not lying to me, are you?”
“Suri.. Suri.. why still don’t believe me? I’m the only person who will never lie to you,” replied Asher amused. “Why? Don’t you agree with Christian getting married?”
Suri shook her head. “Not disapproving, I just...”
“Just what?”
“Just afraid of losing Christian’s attention, if he gets married his time and attention will definitely be divided. I don’t want to lose that, Asher. I’ve lost a lot of precious time with you guys and right now I’m still not satisfied,” replied Suri honestly. “I’m still not ready that Christian will care more about his wife than I do.”
Asher pursed his lips, he knew and understood the fear that Suri was feeling right now. As someone who grew up with Suri and Christian, Asher knows how possessive the siblings are to each other. With understanding, Asher stroked Suri’s beautiful hair.
“Christian will continue to care for and care for you, Suri.”
Suri, who was annoyed, immediately turned to Asher. “How do you know? Are you a psychic who can know the future!” said Suri curtly.
“I’m the proof,” replied Asher curtly.
Suri frowned. “What do you mean? I do not understand.”
Asher chuckled, because he didn’t want Suri to be tired, Asher then invited Suri to sit on a chair near them.
“What do you mean, Asher?” asked Suri again impatiently.
“Isn’t it that after my arrival in this house, Uncle and Aunty’s affection for the two of you hasn’t diminished, has it?” asked Asher back with a warm smile.
Suri who was annoyed at Asher immediately fell silent, her brain working to process the sentence that Asher had just said.
“So does Christian, I’m sure that even though he gets married and has a family of his own, he will definitely still love you as before. The love between sister and wife is different, Suri. And you will definitely get a big portion of his heart, after all it’s time for Christian complete his life by having a wife,” Asher added.
“But...”
“You really don’t want Christian’s adorable nephew? Imagine if Christian had children, wouldn’t this house be more crowded with their presence and for sure Christian wouldn’t be able to just leave if there were children in this house. He will definitely stay longer if his children are with us,” Asher said again, trying to dispel Suri’s fears.
Suri lowered her head. “But I haven’t...”
“You will also get married, Suri.”
“No! I don’t want to get married!” shouted Suri loudly. “I don’t want to be separated from Mommy again.”
Asher’s chest felt tight hearing Suri’s words, Asher knew very well how close Suri was to her mother.
“I’m sorry, Suri,” Asher stammered. “It was my fault that you had to be kidnapped and thus separated from Aunt and Uncle for so long... if I hadn’t left you alone in that room, this kind of thing would not have happened.”
“Asher...”
Asher’s teary eyes stared at Suri in regret. “And if the kidnapping hadn’t happened, maybe Christian and I wouldn’t have been this bad.”
Hearing Asher’s words, Suri immediately remembered what Christian said that Asher had been doing money laundering for years at Muller Finance International.
“Tell me, what actually happened after that incident that you haven’t told me yet,” said Suri seriously. “Don’t try to lie, I know there’s been a big fight going on in this house.”
“Suri...”
“You promised to always be honest with me, Asher.” Suri immediately brought up the promise that Asher had told her.
“The story is too complicated and I don’t know where to start.”
Sirius took a deep breath. “Start with how Christian hate you in the first place.”
The two Ashers widened their eyes, shocked and couldn’t believe that Suri knew about his and Christian’s problems that had been going on for years.
“Christian told me himself, that’s why I know that your relationship isn’t going well. So quickly tell me as clearly as possible and don’t reduce anything if you don’t want me to hate you too, just like Christian did,” said Suri threateningly.
Asher took a deep breath, remembering that his big fight with Christian three years ago always made him feel sad. Seeing how Christian came out of the house dressed in blood filled Asher with so much guilt.
“It all started with Christian’s anger when the detectives hired by Uncle Jack couldn’t find you on the twentieth day, when they had promised to find you in ten days...”
