Chapter 738 - As Long As You're Beside Me
Chapter 738 – As Long As You’re Beside Me
< Eiffel Tower, Paris, France – 08.00 PM >
Anne decided to relax in the garden around the Eiffel Tower, instead of sitting in the expensive restaurants around one of the most famous towers in the world. She even chose to use her expensive scart for her seat on the grass, like other young couples who also did the same as Anne.
"Look up, the sky is beautiful tonight." Anne spoke quietly as she continued to look up at the sky, which did look very beautiful tonight.
Jack, who felt uncomfortable sitting on the grass as he was now, only smiled for a moment and then focused his gaze on Anne, who was stunned by the night sky. Being looked at by Jack continuously made Anne realize, she slowly turned her gaze to Jack who looked very annoyed.
Anne then sat cross-legged with her body straight facing Jack. "Why? Are you still angry that I invited you to relax in a place like this?"
Jack snorted. "No, who's mad?" Jack was too proud to admit that he wasn't comfortable sitting on the grass in the open like this.
"If you're not angry, then what does this face mean, hm?"
Jack shook his face, trying to avoid Anne's hand that wanted to touch him. "I just can't believe you chose to do this. How can you refuse to relax in a five-star restaurant and instead choose to sit on the ground like this with these people? What if one of them has evil intentions, Anne? We're not bringing any bodyguards right now."
Anne chuckled. "You know, being in the open like this is actually more fun than having to sit in a soft and comfortable chair to the accompaniment of romantic songs and delicious food. Being here will actually make you feel free without having to think about what other people think of us or take revenge like you did at the restaurant earlier, when you purposely embarrassed the restaurant manager for speaking so rudely to you, right?"
"You know I was teaching that rude manager a lesson earlier?"
"Jack, we've known each other for a long time. And I know very well who you are, including what you did earlier."
Jack snorted. "Whose fault is he to speak so rudely to you? How dare he ask you to go with him to the CCTV room in person? If he appreciated me, he would have spoken to me first, not like before. He was totally unethical." Jack's anger at the previous restaurant manager returned when Anne mentioned it again.
"Jeez, it was just a small talk, Jack."
"Bad intentions start only when there's a chance," he turned his face the other way.
Anne shook her head. She couldn't believe her husband was still so childish like this. But on the other hand, Anne was happy. Jack's overflowing jealousy like this didn't change. It was still the same as when they were still involved in an unclear relationship, because at that time, Jack did not express his feelings like other men when asking a woman out for the first time. What Jack did at that time was immediately to claim that she belonged to the jealous man. Considering all of that, Anne smiled to herself.
Anne suddenly moved her head towards Jack's thigh and turned it into a pillow. Jack's heart beat very fast when he saw Anne was suddenly lying on his thigh in the open like this when the hard object in his underwear was on fire.
"Anne …" Jack hoarsely.
Anne smiled. "Shut up, I'm enjoying the view of the sky. Really, this is the best position."
Damn, damn junior. Jack cursed his manhood in his heart. How could his manhood getting even harder only because he heard Anne said that this was the best position.
"Jack."
"Yes."
"Thank you for coming into my life and making me happy. Sometimes, I still can't believe the life I'm living now is actually happening from marrying you, having a handsome son from you, being a lady living in a magnificent palace, and being able to get anything I want. Really, I never imagined that I would go through this kind of life with you," Anne said quietly with sad eyes looking at Jack.
"Don't talk nonsense like this, I don't like it."
Anne smiled, her guess was right. Jack would definitely be annoyed at her words. "I'm just telling my heart. Even though so many things have happened, I'm grateful that you're still by my side. You're always there for me, Jack."
Jack's blue eyes narrowed. He now understood what his wife was talking as she looked at him.
"The arrests of Edmund and Leon who turned out to be the masterminds of all the chaos that befell us, the loss of Princess, the confession of sins and the death of Steffi, and the sudden departure of Linda and Paul really made me unable to walk again without you, Jack. I know you might think I'm being too childish, but I'd really be crazy if I had to face it myself, Jack," added Anne back with tears in her eyes.
Jack smiled faintly and moved his hand to caress Anne's face which looked so dazzling under the sky like now. "You are my strength, Anne. You are the reason I stay in this world and fight against all of the people who try to make me fall. You are the reason for me to stand tall despite the loss of our precious daughter, so don't say that. We've been through all the storms that hit our lives, and I hope you're strong enough to continue to stand by me."
Anne's tears dripped slowly from the corners of her eyes because of Jack's words. "I hope after this, we can live a normal life like any other couple, without any more distractions from bad people or people from our respective pasts. I just want to be happy, that's all, Jack."
Jack slowly moved his hands towards Anne's shoulders and helped her to get up from his thighs. After Anne sat in front of him, without hesitation Jack gave a kiss on Anne's lips gently and ended up pressing her forehead on Anne's forehead.
"That's my wish too! Don't you remember what the biggest wish I ever said to you was?"
"What wish?"
"I want to have a dozen children from you."
"Jack…" Anne sighed softly with her cheeks flushed with embarrassment. "I'm not a cat that can give birth to a lot of children."
Jack chuckled. "That's just what I want. If you can't, I won't force it. Besides having two or three children, I think is enough."
Bam!
Anne threw a punch at Jack's thigh pretty hard.
"You suck! It's really easy to get pregnant and give birth. And it looks like I won't be able to get pregnant for another year or two, Jack."
Jack's face stiffened. "What do you mean?"
Anne took Jack's right hand and placed it on his stomach. "I've had two caesareans and it would be dangerous if I got pregnant again in the near future, that's why I …"
"No, don't get pregnant then. I don't want anything bad to happen to you, Anne." Jack immediately cut Anne's words quickly with a stiff face.
"Really? Then how about your dream of having a dozen children?" asked Anne quietly trying to tease Jack.
Jack grabbed Anne's cheeks with both hands. "That can be thought about later, the important thing is that I can still continue to produce children continuously with you."
"Jack …"
Anne's words stopped because Jack had pressed his lips firmly and deeply without shame, even though they were currently in the open. Anne closed her eyes enjoying the kiss that Jack was giving her at the moment.
