Love Worth Fighting For

64 Almost give up

“Mommy...”

Anne’s body immediately froze, the voice she had missed for three years was heard again. And not only Anne who heard the voice, Jack who was focusing on Anne also heard the beautiful voice. Jack and Anne looked at each other for a while before they both turned simultaneously towards the door where the faint sound of footsteps approached.

Anne and Jack’s hearts seemed to stop for a few seconds when they saw a beautiful girl with waist-length hair emerge from behind Christian’s body who first entered the house.

“Mommy...Daddy...” Suri called her parents in a hoarse voice,

Silence.

Neither Anne nor Jack responded to Suri’s words. The two of them still couldn’t believe what they were seeing.

Because his parents still haven’t reacted, Christian suddenly has a stupid idea to prank the two of them. Christian immediately put his arm around Suri’s shoulder.

“See, it seems your presence is not wanted in this place, Suri. We’d better go back to Luxembourg then,” Christian said quietly teasing his father and mother, a mischievous smile growing on his handsome face.

An annoyed Suri then elbows Christian in the stomach, although it doesn’t hurt, it is enough to make Christian surprised. “Brother..”

.....

“Why? Is there something wrong with what I said? You see, Mommy and Daddy don’t ..”

Christian’s words stopped suddenly when Jack and Anne ran at the same time towards him, Christian who realized he was in danger then let go of his embrace from Suri and let the girl be hugged tightly by their parents.

Anne, who missed Suri so much, hugged her tightly, gratitude never stopped flowing from her lips. Likewise with Jack, Jack who almost went crazy thinking about his daughter did not want to let go of his arms from Suri. As a result, Suri is currently having trouble breathing because her parents are tightly hugging her, who still don’t believe in her presence at home.

Christian, who knows that his parents miss Suri so much, chooses to stay away, giving them an opportunity to let go of their longing. Christian did not want to spoil the atmosphere that was so emotional.

“Where did you find Miss Suri, young master?” Erick asked quietly.

“Three days ago, in Auckland.”

“Auckland? How can Miss Suri be in that place?”

Christian shakes his head slowly. “I don’t know, I haven’t dared to ask Suri yet. The psychiatrist who examined Suri asked me not to bring up the incident first, he was afraid that Suri would be more depressed if reminded of the incident.”

Erick, who was still not satisfied with Christian’s answer, then again asked Christian another question, Christian who was in a good mood answered all the questions while continuing to see what his parents were doing to Suri.

“Don’t you have any idea, sir?” Erick asked again.

Christian shakes his head. “Absolutely not, I also don’t dare to talk about this to Suri. I don’t want to make the sweet smile that spread on her face disappear. What I want to do now is to continue to make Suri smile and restore her confidence like before, no one who will still be fine after being confined for three years at home, Erick. Especially if she is a girl who is still a teenager, a girl who should be enjoying her happy times with her peers.”

Erick was silent, his intention to dig deeper into Christian stopped.

“I hope you will tell Daddy this, I know Daddy has the ability to destroy someone. But please tell him not to do anything, this person who kidnapped Suri is mine. Until the time comes, I will destroy him,” said Christian again. “I myself will avenge him for what happened to Suri.”

Christian’s face flushes as he speaks, his jaw clenched. It’s obvious that Christian is so angry right now.

“Oh yeah, why is the house so quiet?” Christian asks sarcastically.

Erick, who understood where Christian’s question was headed, smiled a little. “Asher is in Portugal.”

“Tsk.. so busy.”

Erick pursed his lips, as one of the witnesses to how Christian and Asher grew up he knew very well what was currently happening to both of them.

Still annoyed with his father over their last big half two years ago because of Asher, Christian stands up straight and prepares to leave.

“Christ.” Jack, who accidentally saw Christian was about to go straight into action. “Where are you going?”

Christian smiles a little. “Back to the hotel,” Christian replies coldly.

“Hotel, why do you have to go to the hotel? This is your house, son,” said Jack again.

Christian smirks. “Oh yeah? I heard right?” Christian quips sarcastically.

“It’s Mommy’s birthday, Christ. Are you still staying at the hotel?” Anne joined in the conversation without letting go of her arms from Suri.

Christian’s angry look fades when he meets his mother’s. “I’ve already bought Mommy my birthday present, so I don’t think my presence is needed now.”

“Chris,” Anne sighed softly. “Can’t you stay at home? Mommy wants to sleep while hugging Mommy’s two children.”

“I’ve been sleeping alone in my room since I was ten, Mom. And I’m not used to sharing my bed with other people.”

“Does Mommy fall into someone else’s category?” asked Anne again, continuing to urge Christian to stay home. “It’s Mommy’s birthday, honey. Can’t you grant Mommy’s wish?”

“Christ...” with a face wet with tears Suri joined in the conversation.

And the one word that was spoken from Suri was what finally made all of Christian’s selfishness destroyed, without opening his lips Christian then walked towards the stairs to enter his room leaving everyone in the living room.

Jack can only smile wryly when he sees Christian’s still cold attitude towards him.

“Is it because of me, Mom?” asked Suri suddenly.

Anne and Jack turned their attention back to Suri.

“Does the cause of the strained relationship between you and your brother have anything to do with me?” Suri repeated her question again.

“Dear.” Jack immediately grabbed Suri’s cheeks gently. “Everything that happened between us had nothing to do with you, honey. It was all just a matter of communication, and when your brother’s anger subsides, he will definitely return to the way he used to be. You don’t know how stubborn your brother is.”

“He’s just as stubborn as you, Jack,” said Anne quickly.

Jack chuckled. “That’s because he is my incarnation, it’s not only my intelligence that has decreased to him, all my bad qualities are also in him. I feel sorry for his future wife, if I have to face the severity of that child.”

“Christian are getting married? Who is his future wife and when? Why Christian haven’t said anything to me for three days?” Suri, who was not ready to let go of her brother for another woman, immediately reacted.

Anne smiled. “One day your brother will definitely get married and not only your brother, you will also get married, dear.”

“Mommy I’m serious, who is Christian lover? Where did she come from? Who is her family and..”

“Your brother is a workaholic, Suri. How could he think of marriage, especially now that Clarke Enterprise still needs his attention.” Jack interrupted Suri’s words softly.

“So basically Christian still not getting married, right?” The stubborn Suri asked again, her parents’ answers not satisfying her curiosity.

Anne, who knew how dependent Suri was on Christian, then hugged her daughter tightly again. “No, your brother isn’t getting married yet. The first person he’ll tell when he’s getting married will definitely be you, don’t worry.”

Suri smiled, she was relieved that I knew that her brother didn’t want to get married. Jack, who didn’t want to be left behind then joined Anne, hugging the body of their daughter who had returned home. All the sadness that had plagued their hearts disappeared into the air, Suri’s presence really made them both so happy. Anne’s forty-fifty-second birthday this year will truly be the most historic birthday of her life.

Christian, who didn’t go straight into his room, smiled when he saw his sister laughing out loud in the arms of her parents, the guilt that had haunted him for three years had gone, replaced by his desire to take revenge on the person who caused Suri to lose three years in vain.

“Calm down, Suri. As long as you are alive, you will not let that damn bastard go. You will make him prefer death to life,” Christian said hoarsely, although he didn’t know who he had to destroy yet, Christian was already so angry at this time. “That’s my oath, Suri. Brother will pay him back for you.”

Because he was too tired, Christian then continued his steps towards his bedroom which was always neatly arranged. The bedroom, which he hadn’t touched in three years, still looked the same as when he left last time, nothing had changed, everything was still arranged in the same way as Christian did three years ago. Although not used for sleeping, the room was kept clean. The reason is that every morning two maids will come to clean the room, that’s why at this time Christian can go straight to bed without waiting for it to be made up first.
