Love Worth Fighting For

430 like father like son

After Anne went into the kitchen to make chamomile tea again Jack suddenly thought of his cousin, Edmund. Even though the accident that happened to Edmund had happened decades ago, Jack was sure that his cousin was still alive today, growing up with Edmund made Jack sure that his cousin would not die that easily.

Because he was too focused on thinking about his cousin Jack didn’t notice Erick’s arrival, Erick, who immediately gave the weekly report, kept talking until he finally realized that the person he was talking to was daydreaming.

“Sir…” Erick tried to bring Jack back to consciousness, but because Erick’s voice was not too loud Jack was still deep in thought and that forced Erick to speak louder for the second time and succeeded. Jack, who didn’t expect to see Erick appear in his yard, screamed quite loudly before he finally managed to control himself again.

“Sorry sir, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to surprise you,” said Erick regretfully.

Jack waved his hand in the air. “No, you don’t need to apologize. It’s my fault.”

“What is troubling you, sir?” asked Erick carefully.

“Edmund.”

Eric flinched. “Edmund, Edmund is the son of Jhonny , your cousin, who died in an accident twenty-five years ago?”

“Yes,” answered Jack briefly. “Somehow I feel if Edmund is still alive.”

.....

“Pardons?”

Jack took a deep breath. “I don’t know what happened either, it’s just that I suddenly thought of Edmund.”

“Not all the bad things that have happened are related to Edmund, sir,” said Erick carefully.

“I also hope so, but my feelings…”

“If you are worried then I will do a re-examination about the accident again, sir.” Erick cut Jack’s words quickly, it was Anne’s appearance from inside the house that made Erick dare to interrupt Jack’s words.

As if realizing that Erick was warning him, Jack nodded his head. He then straightened up again and prepared to welcome the arrival of Anne who was carrying a tray filled with chamomile tea and her favorite chocolate cookies. Meanwhile, Erick immediately said goodbye to do the task that Jack had just given him, even though the task was quite difficult, Erick did not give up hope at all. Erick, who has a high work ethic, believes that nothing is impossible to do.

Clarke House of Jewel.

Suri was constantly giving thanks for Zwetta side, the help Zwetta her really really made her even more excited about taking care of the Clarke Enterprise subsidiary.

“I can’t breathe if you keep hugging me like this, Suri,” Zwetta said softly for the second time.

Hearing the same sentence for the second time, Suri immediately released her arms from her sister-in-law’s body, which she had been embracing for more than two minutes.

“Keep your attitude, you are currently the director of the Clarke House of Jewel. Many employees are watching you,” Zwetta back.

“Sorry.”

Zwetta smiled slightly. “Don’t do it again, now as punishment accompany me to go to the cafeteria. I’m hungry, I want to eat some snacks before enjoying lunch.”

“Are you hungry?” asked Suri with her eyes wide open, Suri’s surprise reminded Zwetta of the piles of used food still lying on the round table not far from where they were currently sitting.

Even though she knew the meaning of Suri’s words, Zwetta chose to pretend she didn’t know.

“Yes, my son is still hungry,” Zwetta in a pitiful voice. “Conceiving girls and boys is really very different, back when I was pregnant with Luna I didn’t feel hungry at all. I didn’t have the slightest appetite, maybe because at that time Christian was so cruel to me so it had an effect on me but I didn’t know because I didn’t ask doctor Catherine who was treating me at the time.”

Suri’s face immediately changed. “I’m sorry Zee, everything that happened to you and Luna at that time was because of me. I am the person most responsible for the suffering you experienced.”

Zwetta lips. “I have forgiven everyone, I have also let Luna go. So don’t apologize to me again.” Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on ɴovel(F)ɪre - novelenglish.net . bin

“But…”

“Don’t make Luna sad.” Zwetta cut Suri off quickly. “If you keep blaming yourself, I’m sure Luna will be sad up there, so stop apologizing and smile because I’m not mad at you anymore, spoiled child.”

“I’m not spoiled.”

Zwetta chuckled. “Yes yes yes…you are not spoiled.”

“Zwetta!!”

“Ok ok, I’m sorry, I won’t tease you anymore. Now accompany me to eat, I’m really hungry. Christian Clarke’s child really keeps me hungry like someone who has never met food.”

Suri pursed her lips, her gaze on Zwetta turned fond. “Thank you for carrying my niece again, Zee.”

Zwetta smiled. “I love your brother, that’s why I want to conceive another child like this.”

“You really love him, huh?”

“Enough..enough..don’t talk about it anymore, Christian’s head will get bigger if he hears my confession. Now let’s go find some food, my child is already screaming in there,” Zwetta slowly, changing the subject.

Suri immediately bowed slowly, her hand touching Zwetta which had started to bulge with love. “Hey champ, are you hungry again? Smart boy, okay, let’s go find some food. Aunty will buy you whatever you want.”

Zwetta giggled at Suri’s adorable words.

Suri, who was still groping Zwetta slowly straightened up again. “Let’s go to the cafeteria, I don’t want to starve my nephew. His crazy father will kill me if he finds out I starved his son.”

“You call your own brother crazy?” Zwetta pretended to be angry.

Suri shrugged her shoulders. “Isn’t Christian just crazy? Do you disagree with me on this?” Suri asked back without guilt.

Zwetta , who had been holding herself back from laughing, finally laughed out loud, hearing Suri call Christian crazy was really very entertaining for Zwetta. Because the pain came back, Zwetta decided not to continue what she was saying and immediately pulled Suri’s hand to go to the cafeteria, the child in her womb really couldn’t be patient at all. He was so much like Christian that he couldn’t hear the words ‘wait’ and ‘be patient’.

Without Zwetta and Suri noticing, the person they had been talking about had actually heard their entire conversation from beginning to end. Christian, who was too worried about Zwetta, decided to return to the Clarke House of Jewel, Christian decided to have an office in that office so he could keep an eye on Zwetta directly. However, Christian’s decision to return backfired when he heard his wife and sister say he was a madman.

“Should we catch up with them, sir?” asked Kainer quietly from behind Christian.

Christian shakes his head. “No, I want to surprise them both. Let’s go inside, we’ll wait for them in Suri’s room.”
