I’ll Teach You, Marianne.

Chapter 586 – Lemon

Luckily, Anne was there so Jack didn't hit Edmund again. After making Edmund fall on the floor, Jack actually wanted to hit Edmund back, but Anne immediately hugged him tightly.

"Let go of me, Anne, I must teach her a lesson."

Anne did not loosen her arms from Jack's body. "Remember there's Christian. Christian is with us right now. I don't want him to see you hitting people, Jack."

Jack immediately fell silent hearing Anne's words. He reflexively turned his head towards the window where he could see Christian laughing widely with Erick and Nicholas, who guard him by the lake. Seeing his son fall to the ground, Johnny immediately approached him with the help of several of his loyal subordinates. Edmund's lips spat out a little blood because of the severity of the blow that Jack threw at him.

"You really have beat the drums of war on us, Jack. Wait for our revenge, you will definitely cry blood tears when that time comes," Johnny threatened in a voice shaking with extreme anger.

Jack smiled. "I'll wait. I want to see what you can do."

Johnny did not answer Jack's words. The only thing on his mind right now was to take Edmund away from Jack. He didn't want Edmund to get hurt even more, especially now that almost all of Jack's men had surrounded them. Johnny didn't want them to be bullied by Jack again. When Johnny turned around, suddenly Edmund stopped his steps and turned his head back to Jack who had been hugged by Anne. Apparently, the man had not given up.

"My offer will always be open to you, sister-in-law, you are very beautiful, don't waste your beauty on that man," said Edmund again teasing Anne.

"Fuck you!" Jack cursed quickly, he couldn't move because Anne was still holding him tightly.

Edmund laughed out loud seeing Jack's anger, because the blood that came out of his lips flowed even more, finally Edmund decided to leave Jack's presence. When Edmund and his father came out of the restaurant, they met Christian who was in Erick's arms. Apparently, the child was tired of playing and was very thirsty. Seeing that Christian's face that looked so much like Jack's, Edmund and his father immediately know that the child was Jack's son. An indescribable smile appeared on Edmund and Johnny's faces. It looked like the father and son had a new plan that must have something to do with Christian.

"Mommy … Mommy … I'm thirsty …"

Christian's chatter made Anne immediately let go of her arms from Jack and immediately turned to Christian who was still in Erick's arms. With a sweet smile, Anne took Christian from Erick and took him to sit.

"Are you done feeding the swans?" Anne asked quietly, stroking Christian's hair.

Christian nodded excitedly. "They're full, Mommy, I gave them a lot of food earlier."

"They must be very happy to be fed like that, do you like it?"

"Yes Mommy, I like it… I really like it. I also fed the baby swans. Oh yes, Mommy, can we raise them at home?"

Anne smiled faintly. She then turned to Jack who was having a serious conversation with Erick and Nicholas not far from where she and Christian were sitting. "When Daddy's done talking to Uncle Erick and Uncle Nick, you can ask him, okay?"

"Hooray… cool… I'm happy… I'm happy…"

Christian's screams managed to make Jack turn his head towards them, but after that he returned to focus on talking to his men. His eyes looked full of emotion at the moment and that must be because of what Edmund had said earlier. Anne, who didn't want to disturb Jack, chose to feed Christian with a lemon cake in front of her. Lemon cake is one of Christian's favorite cakes because it had a different flavors, like his mother, Christian didn't really like sweets.

After talking for almost 10 minutes, Jack finally rejoined Anne who was seen holding Christian who was sleeping. The child immediately fell asleep, he was so full and tired after playing with Erick and Nicholas a few moments ago.

"Give him to me, you must be tired," Jack said quietly as he tried to reach Christian.

Anne shook her head. "Don't worry, he's just sleeping. He'll wake up if you pick him up, Jack."

"Trust me."

Anne could only be silent when Jack managed to grab Christian from her arms, as Anne said before, Christian woke up and almost cried but because Jack immediately rocked him again, the child finally fell asleep in the arms of his father, who loved him very much. Seeing the way Jack calmed Christian down made Anne smile.

"Do you want this lemon cake?" Anne asked Jack quietly.

"I'm full, babe," Jack replied simply.

"Okay, then I'll finish it myself."

Jack chuckled. "Yeah, finish the cake alone so you'll have a lot of energy to continue our game last night."

"Jack!!!"

"Hush…Christian is asleep, babe."

Anne immediately covered her mouth tightly, as she almost made Christian cry. Jack laughed triumphantly because Anne couldn't reply.

Because there was still a lot of lemon cake, Anne decided to give a few pieces to Erick and Nicholas along with the bodyguards around them. At first, the men refused, but realizing that the master was there, they finally accepted the cake given by the mistress and enjoyed it at the same time.

Seeing his men eating cake like his wife made Jack smile. He didn't say much and preferred to kiss Christian who was sleeping with his mouth open. All his anger immediately disappeared. Indeed, the presence of Christian gave him a lot of changes. After everyone finished eating their lemon cakes, Anne then called the waitress to settle the bill, using the unlimited credit card that Jack had given her a few days ago. Anne paid for all their meals.

"Are we going straight home?"

Anne, who had just put her purse into her bag, immediately turned to Jack. "Home? Don't you have to go back to the office?"

"Suddenly my mood for work is gone. I want to sleep hugging Christian who has wet my clothes with his saliva right now," replied Jack with a smile.

Anne chuckled. "I've told you. I better carry him. Now your shirt is wet."

"No, you're not allowed to carry Christian from now on. He's already too heavy for you to carry," said Jack quickly.

"Don't underestimate me, Jack. I could carry him in my womb for nine months without you, I can carry him now too." Anne spoke like that unconsciously.

Jack immediately fell silent for a moment when he heard Anne's words, so were all of his men who were among them. Being reminded again of what happened to Anne three years ago made Jack speechless, only his eyes showed how sad he was now because of Anne's words.

"Well let's go home, Jack. I want to talk a lot with Luis," said Anne quietly, breaking the silence. She had not realized what had happened to Jack at this time.

Jack took a deep breath. "Okay."
