I'll Teach You, Marianne.-Chapter 590 - The Liaison

The cold war between Anne and Jack was still ongoing. Currently, there was no conversation going on between Anne and Jack at the dinner table. Even Nicholas had now chosen to sit beside Anne. The man decided to become Anne's person, just like Luis, who was on Anne's side from the start rather than Jack. Damn, Jack was betrayed by two people who should have defended him!

"Are you going to the Musee d'Art et d'Histoire today, Madam?" Luis asked quietly breaking the silence at the dinner table.

Anne smiled. "Of course, Christian just can't wait to go to that place. Isn't it, baby?"

"Yeah, but Daddy's coming too, right, Mom?"

Christian's question suddenly made the atmosphere even more uncomfortable. Jack, who had been just enjoying his black coffee, immediately smiled at his son who was sitting across from him.

"You want Daddy to come with you, son?" Jack asked softly.

"Sure, I want to see the museum with Daddy too. Going to the museum with Mommy will not be complete without you, Daddy," Christian replied innocently.

Jack chuckled, inwardly praising the child's extraordinary intelligence. "Then you have to come with me to the office first, after I finish the meeting, we can go together."

"No, thanks."

"Okay."

Anne and Christian talked at the same time, so that they both look at each other for a few moments and Jack didn't want to waste the opportunity. "So what, do you want to come with me to the office first, Christian?"

"Yes, Daddy, I want to come with you. But we're taking the helicopter again, okay?"

Jack smiled triumphantly. "Of course, whatever you want, I will grant it."

"Hooray.. hooray ... helicopter, I'm on a helicopter again." 𝒇𝒓eewe𝒃𝑛𝒐𝘃𝒆𝚕.co𝘮

Anne took a deep breath to hear Christian's happy shout. She had no intention of spoiling her son's fun by forbidding him to go to the office with his father by helicopter. Christian really liked flying.

Jack smiled widely when he saw his son's excited expression. Erick, who had realized his duty, immediately got up from his chair to prepare the helicopter. Every now and then, Jack stole glances at Anne, who looked a little pale this morning. Oh my God, was she sick? Jack had a really bad feeling this morning. He really wanted to hug Anne right now.

"So what's the plan, Madam, are you still going as planned last night?" Luis asked again, trying to provoke the reaction of the husband and wife who were having a cold war in front of him.

Anne took her napkin and wiped her lips gently. "I think I've changed my mind, Luis. I just want to laze around at home."

"Fine, if that's what you want," Luis replied casually before finally sipping his favorite bitter coffee with an indescribable smile.

Jack took a deep breath, trying to be patient. If there was no Christian among them at this time, he might have vented his anger a long time ago. The presence of this adorable child really made Jack more patient than before. The arrival of a maid into the house made Jack realize that at the moment Erick's preparations had been completed. Without a word, Jack then approached Christian who was very enthusiastic about getting on a helicopter.

"Mommy, are you coming with us?" Christian chirped excitedly when he was in his father's arms.

Anne smiled. "No baby, you go alone with Daddy. I will stay at home."

Christian opened his mouth. He looked angry. "Why?"

"I want to read a book at home," said Anne simply.

Christian raised an eyebrow. He then struggles to escape from his father's arms. Jack, who understood his son's desire, then loosened his grip and lowered Christian carefully into Anne's lap. As soon as he was in his mother's lap, Christian immediately buried his face into his mother's chest. The smart boy was crying.

The sound of Christian's sobs finally made Anne melt. She was weakest when she saw Christian cried. Anne lovingly reached for Christian's body for a kiss. Usually, Christian would be silent when he got a kiss. But this time what Anne did didn't work, the child was still crying with tears running down his face.

"Okay... okay...mommy will come along, now you can stop crying. Boys shouldn't cry, baby," said Anne quietly, relenting for Christian.

The obedient Christian immediately wiped his tears and then hugged his mother tightly. Seeing the sight made Jack's heart ache a little. He realized that what caused Christian to cry was himself, because of his selfishness who did not understand his wife. With a smile that couldn't be interpreted, Jack then grabbed Christian's tiny body from his mother's arms and kissed Christian's cheek which was still wet with tears. Christian chuckled in amusement by his father's thin unshaven mustache. Jack had just finished the kiss when Anne had returned to join them after previously taking her bag on the second floor.

Seeing the madam was prepared to leave, Nicholas immediately got up from his chair. But his movements were immediately stopped when Jack glared at him. "You're going with the car, you're not coming with us."

"O-okay, sir."

Jack then stepped towards the exit with Christian, followed by Anne behind them. Christian laughed heartily as he really couldn't to get on the helicopter. From his seat, Luis smiled seeing the small family of the master leave. He was happy that Christian had managed to cool off the cold war his parents were fighting.

"I'll go now, Luis," Nicholas said quietly as soon as Jack and Anne were out of their sight.

"Tell me about this woman named Giselle."

Nicholas immediately turned to Luis. "Why are you suddenly so curious about that woman?"

Luis took another sip of his black coffee. "When you want to destroy the enemy, don't you have to know the enemy's weakness first?"

"I don't understand what you mean, Luis."

"Never mind if you don't understand, now you better tell me about that woman named Giselle right now or you won't be able to go to the office and make the Master mad at you even more. The choice is yours, Nick," Luis replied quietly with intimidation.

Nicholas took a deep breath, then sat back in his chair and began to tell him about Giselle, the cause of Jack and Anne's war last night. Nicholas repeated everything Anne said last night to Luis. He even told some of the woman's oddities in the office. While Nicholas was talking, Luis didn't talk at all. Luis was really a good listener. Occasionally, he would nod his head but kept his mouth tightly shut.

"Actually, I also don't like that woman. She is too arrogant to be a secretary. She acts like she's the owner of the company, and honestly it makes me sick. Because Mrs. Anne, who has clearly become Mrs. Clarke, doesn't act that arrogant and is just casual," Nicholas said, quietly ending the story.

Luis pursed his lips. "It seems the late Master was right in judging Mrs. Anne. A woman like Mrs. Anne is one in a million. Don't worry, Nick, I will solve everything if you don't act." 𝐟r𝒆ℯ𝘄𝑒𝒃𝚗𝒐𝘃e𝗹.c𝘰𝐦

"Fine, but you have to be careful, Luis. Giselle Allen's parents have quite a name in this town."

Louis chuckled. "But they're nothing to the Clarkes, Nick. Don't forget that."
