Chapter 475 - First Date
Chapter 475 – First Date
After finishing an endless discussion about Jack last night, Alan eventually decided to sleep early without disturbing or touching Anne. It pleased Anne because she could have enough sleep to regain her energy. However, she was continually being teased by Alice over and over in the morning.
"We have not seen each other only for two years, Alice, but why have you turned into a pervert like this?" Anne said curtly at Alice, who kept teasing her.
Alice chuckled. "I am not a pervert. I only want to make sure."
Anne lifted one of her eyebrows. "Make sure? Make sure of what?
Alice smiled. She approached Anne and whispered to her what Alan had said before he went to the second floor. Anne's face turned red instantly as she listened to Alice's whispers. She could not believe Alan would say such vulgar words.
"D-don't listen to him. You are ridiculous. How strongly do you think I am?!"
Alice chuckled. "It is alright, Anne. It doesn't matter if it is true. After all, you both are legally husband and wife. So, you're free to do it, right?"
Slap!
"Anne!!"
"Take that for being so perverted this early in the morning!!"
Alice touched her back that felt warm due to Anne's slap. The slap was not exactly too hard. Alice only dramatized it to tease Anne, but Anne didn't buy it. She peeved, walked away from Alice, then headed to Mr. David Clarke, who was in the park sunbathing with Luis, who had loyally accompanied him all the time.
"Good morning, Grandpa, good morning, Luis."
The two men, who were enjoying the morning sun, turned their heads and smiled kindly to Anne.
"Anne, you are awake."
Mr. David Clarke's words wiped out the smile on Anne's face in an instant. She was petrified thinking of Alice's words.
Damn husband! How could he say all those words!
"Anne, are you all right?" asked Mr. David Clarke, interrupting her curse in her heart to Alan for talking nonsense.
"Uh n-nothing, Grandpa, I only think that I must have forgotten my new cell phone," Anne stuttered.
"Your cell phone?"
"Yes, Alan gave me a new cell phone. That is why I could contact Erick, Grandpa."
Mr. David Clarke chuckled. "Oh my God, I am getting senile. I forgot about Erick and his people, so you better find your cell phone right away. Don't let Alan know and get angry because you cannot find your cell phone."
"Yes, Grandpa, so I better…"
"Where are you going?"
Alan's loud voice almost made Anne scream in shock. She could hardly live a quiet life with Alan by her side. The man kept making her heart jump.
Anne immediately turned around and looked at Alan was walking toward her. "I forgot where I put my cell phone."
"Cell phone? Why do you need your cell phone this early? Do you want to call someone?" Alan stood before Anne and asked her suspiciously.
Mr. David Clarke clenched his lips. "Your wife wanted to find her phone thinking that you may call her. She is confused, Alan. Don't talk so harshly to her this early."
Alan turned to his grandfather, who was smiling at him. Then, he turned his gaze back to Anne, who had not answered his question and remained silent. "Is it true what Grandpa said?"
"Yes, who else will call me? Don't you know it is only your number that is saved in my cell phone?" replied Anne curtly.
Alan chuckled; he then put his arms around Anne's waist possessively. "It should be. That cell phone must only save my number."
"Grandpa's, Luis' and Nick's must not be saved there either?
"Nope, only my number."
Anna sighed. Her countenance showed deep disappointment, but it was even more adorable to Alan's eyes.
"Grandpa, I want to go out with Anne this morning," Alan said suddenly.
"Where to?" Anne and Mr. David Clarke asked in unison.
"I want to take her for breakfast in my favorite restaurant," Alan smiled and replied in a gentle voice to his grandpa.
"Take a bodyguard along with you. I don't want anything to happen."
"Grandpa, I will be alright. It is not necessary to go with a bodyguard. It is too much grandpa, that restaurant is not far from home. Besides, I will not go alone. I will go with my wife." Alan interrupted his grandfather's word right away.
Mr. David Clarke was silent for a moment. Knowing a fact that Roger Douglas was the mastermind behind a car accident that happened to Alan two years ago had made him paranoid every time his grandson went out of the house without an escort. It was mainly because Roger Douglas was still free out there somewhere. But Mr. David Clarke's restlessness faded away as Luis gave him a sign to let his grandson go by patting his shoulder twice.
"Alright, but with one condition, come back right away after finishing your breakfast," said Mr. David Clarke gently. Even though he allowed Alan and Anne to go, he still felt uneasy letting his second grandson go out of the house. Mr. David Clarke feared a bad thing would happen to him if he went alone without a bodyguard.
"Relax, I only want to go to that restaurant with my wife. We'll go home immediately after having our breakfast. Although I am still on my honeymoon holiday, yet, I'll go back home right away and do my other work," Alan said quickly.
Mr. David Clarke only smiled at his grandson's subtle protest requesting a moment with his wife. "The sooner you go, the sooner you will be back, and always be careful along your way."
After receiving his grandfather's permission, Alan took Anne to a garage where he parked his favorite car. Anne could not refuse but followed him walking to a black Lamborghini Veneno, one of Alan's favorite cars he used to drive for his dates with previous women.
"Get in."
"We only go for a while, right?" Ask Anne quietly.
"You heard what Grandpa said earlier, didn't you?"
"Just answer it, Alan!!"
Alan snorted. "Yes, Just for a while."
Anne spread her gaze searching for another car that was not too noticeable, unlike this super expensive car next to her. After looking around, Anne finally headed to a black Land Rover Defender parked not far from a white Ferrari.
"You want us to ride that?" Alan asked quickly.
"Yes, we better ride this car than that car. We will draw people's attention if we go in that car. I don't think it will be safe. This car is safer for us to ride." Anne replied spontaneously. Somehow she felt the black Land Rover Defender was more comfortable to ride than a Lamborghini.
"Alright, I drive this only because you are the one who asks me to," Alan replied instantly while walking toward Anne's chosen car.
The two men, who were in charge of Alan's luxurious cars collection, immediately approached, asking his young master which car he was going to drive. Those two middle-aged men were surprised to hear Alan wanted driving the Land Rover Defender which had not been touched for almost eight months. Still, the two men took out that very dashing black car from its parking lot in an instant and handed it to their young master. Alan went into the car, then Anne was helped by those two men, followed him into the car.
"You don't have to worry. This car is bulletproof. So suppose there's an attack…"
"Alan!!!"
"Haha… Just kidding, baby, relax. You're in a good hand today. So, no need to be nervous."
Anne did not respond to Alan's words. She preferred to fasten her seat belt as Alan started driving his car out of the parking area of their residence.
"Relax, Sir, Erick's men are in their place. They will follow the young master from a distance," said Luis, quietly calming Mr. David Clarke down as the car that Alan drove was out of his sight.
"Good! As long as Ivan and Roger Douglas haven't received the punishment they deserve, I am still restless. Losing Alan has scared me each time Jack goes alone."
Luis smiled; he knew how deep his master's love for his grandson was. That was why he let his master calm down and talked no more.
