Chapter 716 – A Woman’s Words
< Luxembourg Airport >
A jet plane with the inscription CLARKE landed nicely at Findel Airport, Luxembourg. Jack and Anne got off the plane after five other members of the Warriors got off first. Previously, Anne was running, looking for Jack who was exercising with the members of the Warrior. With tears in her eyes, Anne forced Jack to take her to see Christian. She had a bad feeling about her first son, especially since they had not seen each other for a long time.
Jack, who had previously given orders to Luis to tighten guard on Christian, couldn't refuse Anne's request, her maternal instincts were really strong at this time.
"Jack, I'm not at all calm. What's wrong?" Anne had kept saying the same lines ever since their plane entered Luxembourg airspace.
"It's okay, it's just your feelings. Christian is fine with Luis. Didn't we have a video call with him earlier?"
Anne wiped the tears that pooled in the corners of her eyes. "Yeah, but I'm very uneasy. It feels really weird and honestly I've never felt this before."
Jack tightened his grip on Anne's waist. "Be patient. Soon, we will meet our son. Get rid of that bad thought of yours, honey. Christian is fine."
Anne put one hand to her left chest, trying to calm her heart which was beating very fast at the moment. As Jack had instructed, Anne tried to think positively even though her heart was beating fast. For some reason, Anne didn't feel well, although she was currently in Luxembourg and was on her way to the Clarke family residence.
Jack kept trying to calm Anne, even though he also had the same feeling. When he was about to enter the car that picked them up, suddenly Jack's smart phone rang. He quickly grabbed his cell phone from his pocket to see who had messaged him, Jack's eyes widened when he read the message that Erick had sent him. Immediately, Jack then gave the code to the five members of the Warriors who were walking behind him with a small gesture. Receiving the code from the master, the five members of the Warriors then immediately ran quickly to a black car that was in the front row.
"What's wrong, Jack? Why are they running around like that? Has something bad happened?" Anne immediately asked Jack a question in confusion.
Jack turned to Anne who was already sitting in the car. "It's okay, they just want to open the road because there's a traffic jam on the road we're going through," Jack lied.
"What traffic jams? Isn't Luxembourg never have traffic jams?" Anne's face immediately turned red as she spoke, as well as her eyes which were already filled with tears.
Jack knelt down and kissed Anne's hand which was now cold. "Believe me, all will be well, your husband is not some random person, babe. No one will dare to disturb the peace of the Clarke family as long as I am alive."
Anne's eyes slowly fell. "I know you're trying to calm me down right now, I just swear to God, Jack. I don't feel so good. We better head home right now, I can't wait to hug Christian." Anne's voice trembled slightly as she spoke.
Jack smiled. He slowly got up from the floor and got into the car to follow Anne's wishes. After Jack got into the car, Jack's other men immediately got into their respective cars. Five black bulletproof luxury cars with plates that read CLARKE began to leave the airport. At this time, Jack was trying to buy time not to rush home. The reason was that there was currently a big mess at home after two intruders disguised as officers of the water company, who tried to injure Christian. Both of them were now dead because they were hit by the hot lead that was released by Luis. Luis himself also suffered a gunshot wound to the leg after grabbing Christian who was in the park with his nanny.
At this time, the police, who immediately came, were also crowded the Clarke family's residence. They immediately sterilized the yard where the shooting took place. The target of the two people was really Christian. It was proven that after Christian was in Luis' arms, their gun was directly aimed at Luis. Noah, who immediately helped Luis, immediately informed Erick about what had happened, so that moments ago Erick broke the news to Jack, who had just arrived in Luxembourg.
"Is it just me or is it true that we're taking a different route to get home?"
Jack patted Anne's thigh gently. "I already told you there was a traffic jam, so now we're looking for another way, babe."
"Traffic jam because of what? Then why don't we just take the helicopter as usual? I really feel uneasy right now, Jack."
"Everything's fine, Anne. Don't worry," said Jack quietly, looking deeply into Anne's face.
Anne immediately looked away from Jack and bit her lower lip hard. She had been trying to reassure herself that everything was fine since earlier. However, her feelings just couldn't be compromised. There was a strange feeling that was churning in her, which asked her to come home immediately.
Unbeknownst to Anne, Jack was currently wearing an ear piece attached to his right ear which was connected to Luis, who was currently receiving treatment from the medical team due to the gunshot wound he received.
"Young master is safe. He was just in a bit of a shock so he's been crying ever since."
"The house has also been secured by two layers of police. At the moment, they are also looking for the person who ordered the two dead perpetrators, sir."
"I keep my promise to you and thegreat master, I will risk my life for the heir to the Clarke family."
Luis continued to talk to Jack in a broken tone because he was holding back the pain when the bullet that was lodged in his leg was taken by Doctor Leo, who immediately came. Jack himself could only listen to what Luis was talking about without daring to answer because there was Anne next to him at this time. He didn't want Anne to worry if she found out what had really happened.
"Anne."
Anne, who was looking at the street through the window, slowly turned to Jack. "What is it?"
"When I used the identity of Alan, grandfather loved me very much, but after you came, grandfather's affection immediately went to you," said Jack quietly, trying to lighten the mood by discussing about his grandfather.
"I know. Grandpa was a good man. Grandma was a lucky woman to have him."
Jack smiled. "So am I right now. I am a very lucky man to have you. That's why I ask you please don't leave me, no matter what happens in the future, even though a big storm comes to shake our marriage, I hope you will continue to stay by my side. Both of us raise Christian and his siblings."
Anne was silent for a while before she finally opened her mouth and said, "Be honest with me, Jack. What are you hiding from me right now? Trust me, I won't be mad if you're honest with me."
