Chapter 531 - Cheesecake

Luis and all the maids in the Clarke family mansion seemed worried because the mistress hadn't come back yet, even though earlier she said she just wanted to go away for a while. However, after 6 hours had passed, there were no signs that the Madam was returning home. Plus, at the moment, the master was on his way home with his bodyguards and assistants after working all day at the office.

"What do we do, Luis? Madam isn't home yet. What if Master gets angry?" said Noah, panicked for the umpteenth time.

"That's right, Luis, what if Master gets angry again?"

"Oh Madam... where are you, why don't you come home?"

The maids looked worried and whispered to each other for fear of getting angry with the master, especially since the sound of many cars stopping in the yard were heard. The maids' faces were instantly pale with cold sweat dripping from their foreheads.

Noah, who was standing next to Luis, grabbed the man's arm. "What do we do, Luis? Looks like Master is back."

Luis did not respond to Noah's words. He looked very calm even though a hurricane was about to blow to him. The sound of the footsteps of Jack and his entourage got closer and closer made everyone even more scared, only Luis was the only person who was still standing tall to welcome Jack's return.

"Welcome home, sir."

Ten maids lined up neatly greeted Jack.

Jack smiled. He didn't stop his steps and went straight to Luis, who was staring at him near the stairs with Noah.

"What I asked you to do, Luis?"

Louis smiled. "It is done, sir, if you are not satisfied, please check again."

Jack glanced at his grandfather's empty room, leaving only a few hangings on the wall and a few photos. The wardrobe, table, and bed were gone in the main bedroom on the first floor.

"Good, I like the way you work."

"But there is one more problem, sir," said Luis quickly.

Immediately, there was silence and horror, no sound was heard because the maids lowered their heads deeply, including Noah who was standing next to Luis. Seeing the strange attitudes of his servants made Jack think hard.

"What's wrong, Luis, what happened?"

Luis looked at Jack without blinking. After taking a deep breath, he then said what had happened. As Luis spoke the head of the maids bowed deeper, none of them dared to make a sound. Even Erick and Alice even glanced at each other when they noticed an aura of anger suddenly emanating from Jack's body. It was so cold and black that it was full of pressure and made no one dare to make a sound, until Nicholas, who had just entered, froze in front of the door when he saw everyone stood there in silence.

When Nicholas was about to open his mouth, he suddenly saw a taxi stop behind the car he had just parked. Nicholas' eyes narrowed as he tried to see more clearly who the person who had just gotten out of the taxi was. His lips thinned when he recognized the person walking up the stairs to where he was standing.

"Where are you from, Madam? Why are you taking a taxi home?" Nicholas asked in a voice loud enough and it made Jack, who was looking at Luis, immediately turned his head towards the door where Nicholas was standing with his back to Anne, who was going up the stairs.

Anne, who looked exhausted, immediately opened the bottle of mineral water she was holding when she stopped in front of Nicholas.

"You look like you've just finished a hard work, Madam, drinking all that water," Nicholas teased with a smile.

Anne wiped her lips with a handkerchief. "Yeah I'm really tired after looking around..."

"Looking for what?"

Thump!

Anne immediately fell silent when she heard Jack's baritone voice which sounded very angry.

Anne slowly turned her gaze to try to look at Jack, who was walking towards her. Luckily, Anne was currently standing on a level ground, otherwise she might have fallen while retreating unconsciously. Jack, who was already standing in front of Anne and Nicholas, emitted enormous anger, even though he didn't say anything, but from his body she felt a very strong killing aura and was enough to make the members of the Warriors smile faintly when they realized the master had not changed.

"Why are you silent?"

Anne swallowed her saliva quickly. She then lifted a box of cheesecake that she had just bought a moment ago. "Because I was too busy in this cake shop, so I forgot where I parked your car, Jack, I completely forgot where I had stopped earlier. Finally I gave up looking for the whereabouts of the car, after circling like crazy for almost two hours in mall."

"Car? What car?"

"The Mercedes S65 AMG Coupe Black in your collections, I used the car for a short drive to get some fresh air. And finally I stopped at the mall because I was tempted to see the variety of delicious pastries there, until finally, well, I forgot where I parked the car. That was why I came home late," said Anne quietly, putting on a pitiful face trying to look for pity from Jack.

Nicholas' face instantly turned pale when he found out that one of his master's collection cars had been lost by his wife. Even though Anne was the master's wife, Nicholas was sure that his master would be very angry. Moreover, the Mercedes S65 AMG Coupe Black was one of the limited edition cars that had only been used once by the master since the car was brought back to the mansion.

Instead of getting angry, Jack grabbed Anne's body and hugged her tightly, causing the bag containing the cheesecake Anne was holding to fall. "So you came home this late because you were looking for that car?"

"Yes, I'm afraid you'll be angry. Moreover, it's an expensive car," said Anne softly in Jack's arms.

Jack pursed his lips. He then removed his arms from her and gripped Anne's shoulders quite hard. "Listen, this is the first and last time you drive my car again. In the future, if you want to go out, let the driver drive you, I don't want you to drive again. Do you understand, Anne?"

"Y-yes, I understand."

"What, Anne? I can't hear what you're saying!"

Anne took a deep breath. "Yeah, I promise I'll never drive a car again."

"Well then we..."

historical

"Jack!!" Anne screamed loudly.

"What's wrong?" Jack asked confused.

Anne looked down at Jack's feet. She slowly lifted her face and looked at Jack with a murderous look. "You stepped on the cheesecake I bought so hard, Jack!! You ruined my 30 minute attempt to get that cheesecake, you bastard!"

"What cheesecake..."

"Sir," Nicholas whispered softly trying to tell where the cheesecake was under his feet.

"Oh this cheesecake.."

Jack didn't finish his sentence when he saw Anne who was almost crying.

"Anne..."

Anne wiped the tears that were falling from her eyes. "I hate you, you evil!!!"

Anne immediately ran quickly into the house, ignoring Jack who still didn't feel guilty after stepping on the cheesecake that Anne had bought with much difficulty. Anne forgot that now she was not alone anymore, she forgot that now there was another life she had to take care of inside her.
