I’ll Teach You, Marianne.

Chapter 630 – Changes In Appetite

< Clarke's mansion, Luxembourg 10 AM >

Anne's arrival at the mansion was greeted by laughter from Christian, who was playing with Noah. The child immediately ran when he heard his name being called by his mother. As if the mother and son had been separated for months, they hugged each other tightly. Christian even blatantly refused a kiss from his father.

"Never mind, sir, don't try to persuade him again," said Luis softly, holding back a laugh when he saw Jack, who wanted to kiss Christian, was repeatedly being rejected by the boy. 

Jack snorted in annoyance, but he couldn't do much because he couldn't be angry with his own son who was now taking over his mother who had just arrived.

"You'd better be here with Luis, I want to talk a lot with my son at…"

"Our son, Anne." Jack immediately cut Anne's words quickly.

Anne chuckled and just stuck out her tongue, teasing Jack without intending to justify her words. She preferred to go to Christian's playroom which was next to her grandfather's former room which was currently used as a reading room.

After his wife and son disappeared from his sight, Jack then slammed his body on the soft sofa behind him with his eyes closed. He looked very tired even though the flight to Switzerland to Luxembourg only took 1 hour 20 minutes.

"Who are you after, sir?" Luis asked quietly as he sat on the sofa in front of Jack.

Jack opened his eyes lazily without lifting his head from the sofa. "What do you mean?"

Louis smiled. "That interview at the airport, I believe you did it because you wanted to show your relationship with Madam. Who else is trying to annoy you this time? Is it that former secretary who was your schoolmate or Leonardo Ganke, who hasn't given up after all these years?"

Jack took a deep breath. "With your ridiculous background, I think you know it all without me explaining, don't you?"

Luis smiled again, but now his smile was much wider than before. "I'm just carrying out the mandate that the late master gave me, sir, it's not that I want to spy on your life with Madam. But seeing the big mistakes you've made in the past, I have to keep doing this, not just for you, but for the survival of this family, to keep the heir of the Clarke family as the late Master wished."

"You're always bringing up Grandpa, you're so annoying," he snarled angrily.

Louis chuckled. "Do you need my help to get rid of the new UN secretary-general, sir?"

"Fuck!!! If you already know about that annoying Chester Lloyd, why are you still asking me, Luis? You really are being insolent, Luis!!"

Instead of being angry at Jack's words, Luis laughed. As time went on, Jack became more and more similar to the late Mr. David Clarke in Luis' eyes, both easily angered and very protective of their loved ones.

"Forgive my old habits that have not disappeared, sir. Being a special police officer for almost 20 years has made my work habits integrated with my daily activities," said Luis quietly, trying to give an explanation.

"I know, but don't use your abilities to spy on me and Anne. Don't tell me you know when I made love to my wife, Luis," said Jack sarcastically.

Luis pursed his lips. "My daughter, if she were alive she might be the same age as Madam. That's why I consider Madam as my own daughter, and as a good father, of course I will protect her from any bad possibility, including from you. Remember, Master I once failed to protect her. So I I swear I won't fail again this time."

"I'm not a donkey who will repeat the same mistake, Luis. That's why I brought her here for a while, that Chester Lloyd purposely used his daughter who was not much different from Christian's to get my wife's sympathy. He has even made it clear to me how he truly feels and about his desire to make Anne the mother of his daughter." As he spoke like that, both of Jack's eyes showed a great deal of anger, the mention of Chester Lloyd's name at this time was even more disgusting than when he was mentioning Leon's name.

"Don't worry. This man will not sacrifice his current position just for a moment's satisfaction. I'm sure Chester Lloyd will not want to sacrifice his career, which is at its peak," said Luis quietly, trying to calm Jack.

Jack massaged his sore neck before finally getting up from the couch. "Hopefully, because if he dares to go any further, then I'll have no hesitation to finish him."

After saying that, Jack then left Luis towards the stairs to go up to the second floor, where his room was. When he walked, Jack didn't look back at all. He was really tired and needed a break right now, devising a plan to warn Chester was exhausting him.

Seeing Jack left, Erick and Nicholas then sat on the sofa, accompanying Luis who was still in the room. 

"Looks like after this you have to work extra," said Luis quietly to Erick and Nicholas.

Nicholas took a deep breath. "Yes, I know. Master has become even more protective of Madam."

"You can talk like that because you've never felt true love, Nick," said Erick, quickly defending Jack.

Nicholas just stuck his tongue out at Erick. He mocked Erick without speaking. And Luis smiled at the behavior of the two young men.

"Don't blame Master, he's like that because he's scared," said Luis back with a smile.

"Scared?" Erick and Nicholas spoke at the same time unconsciously.

Louis nodded his head. "Yes, it seems that his last separation from Madam three years ago made a deep impression on him. That's why he acts like this, so both of you have to be patient with him. Remember, Master was once depressed, so don't provoke his patience."

Erick and Nicholas immediately nodded their heads quickly at the same time. They both understood where Luis was talking. The conversation between Luis and Jack's right hands stopped when Anne came out of the playroom with Christian who was already asleep in her arms. Instantly, Luis got up and approached Anne.

"Leave him to me, Madam," said Luis softly as he took Christian from Anne's arms.

"Thank you, Luis," said Anne quietly.

Luis nodded his head while stroking Christian's back. He immediately left in front of Anne to take the young master to his own room. Luis really treated Christian lovingly like his own grandson.

Anne looked around, looking for Jack.

"Master has gone up to the room, Madam. He seemed very tired," said Erick quietly telling Anne.

"Oh, so he's gone to the room, never mind," replied Anne in a low voice, sounding sad.

"What's the matter, Madam? Is there anything we can help you with?" Nicholas asked quickly.

Anne's eyes immediately lit up hearing Nicholas' words, as quickly as lightning she went straight to the sofa where her husband's right hands were.

"I want to eat Kachkeis," replied Anne innocently.

Eric raised an eyebrow. "Kachkeis, what is that food?"

"Kachkeis is a special Luxembourg cheese made by hand using traditional methods without using preservatives and food stabilizers," Nicholas answered without enthusiasm.

"Cheese? You don't really like food with ingredients that comes from cow's milk, right, Madam?" Erick asked again to Anne.

Anne shrugged her shoulders up. "I don't know, I don't know either, earlier when I was playing with Christian I was reminded of that food. Back when my grandfather was still alive, he liked to eat Kachkeis with garlic bread, that's why I want to try it now."

"Well, let's just ask Noah to…"

"No, I want to come to the Kachkeis factory directly and buy it from there," said Anne quickly cutting Erick's words.

Nicholas immediately massaged his aching forehead. It seemed that this afternoon would be a busy day for him.
