Chapter 535 - The First Test

In the taxi, Anne sent a message to Luis to go straight home without waiting for her. Anne decided to leave that place because she didn't want to be chased by Leon again like yesterday.

"Sir, please stop the car at the fast food restaurant in front," said Anne softly to the taxi driver in a friendly manner.

"Yes ma'am."

As soon as the taxi stopped, Anne then got off after paying the fare. With stumbling steps holding back the pain in her stomach, Anne entered the fast food restaurant. Without thinking, Anne ordered some of her favorite menus. She thought that her stomach hurt because she had not eaten. Therefore, she ordered several types of food to prop his stomach.

When the food she ordered arrived Anne grabbed her cell phone and called Linda in London.

"Hey darling, so you still remember me? I thought you had forgotten." Linda's voice sounded loud once she was connected to Anne.

Anne smiled. "I'll switched to video mode."

"Okay, I will wait."

Not long after, Linda's face appeared on Anne's cellphone screen. She was seen in the kitchen with Paul.

"Am I bothering you?"

"What's the bother? No bother at all. I'm just glad you contacted me. Are you okay? Oh, my condolences for Grandpa David's demise, he was a good person. I didn't expect him to pass away so quickly, while I only just met him for the first time," Linda answered quickly, her eyes slightly dimmed when she talked about Grandpa David's death.

Anne smiled. "Thank you, Linda. Grandpa is now happy. He has reunited with the people who loved him."

Seeing the way Anne smiled made Linda frown. "What are you hiding from me, Anne? I feel something has happened to you. Is your annoying husband bullying you again?"

Anne shook her head. She then grabbed a glass of sparkling water and drank it quickly which made Linda smile.

"Slow down, Anne, I'm not there to ask for your drink. You look so exhausted as if you just finished running a marathon, what with the way you're drinking your soda like that," Linda said with a smile.

"I'm so thirsty. I can't help myself when I saw the drops of water in my glass earlier. Besides, it's summer in Luxembourg, so I think I'm getting thirsty very quickly," answered Anne quietly, trying to find an excuse.

Linda brushed the hair that covered her forehead. "You can lie to other people, Anne, but not to me. Tell me what happened? This is the second time I ask you, Anne."

Anne took a deep breath. She then leaned her body against the wall trying to sit comfortably. Because Linda couldn't be lied to, she finally told her what had happened to her in the past two days. When Anne mentioned Leon, Linda's eyes immediately lit up.

"I think Leon is really crazy and out of his mind. It looks like he really has to stay in a mental hospital so he doesn't chase you like that again, Anne," said Linda in annoyance. After learning about Anne's past who was dumped by Leon and betrayed by Stefi, somehow Linda always got angry when either one of these two people were mentioned.

"I just want a quiet life, Linda, I want to live a normal life like other people. I don't want this, always being chased by Leon who never stopped disturbing my life with Jack. Even a few days ago before Grandpa died, Leon had come to the house and told Grandpa everything. Luckily, Grandpa was a person who didn't care too much about my past, so what Leon said didn't affect him at all. Grandpa still loved me as much as before, but I'm still afraid of Linda. I'm afraid that if Leon continues doing this, Jack would run out of his patience, and I'm afraid something bad will happen. I don't want him to mess up my life again, Linda."

"Wait... wait... What did you say? Leon came to your house and told about your past to Grandpa David?"

Anne nodded her head in response to Linda's question with teary eyes.

"Then it is fixed, he's mentally ill, Anne. Stay away from that human. If one day you accidentally meet him again, it's better for you to avoid and stay away from him. Don't ever get near him or talk to him, because I'm sure that such a human will definitely use any means to get what he wants, including destroying your marriage with Jack. Therefore, it's better to avoid him or ask Jack to get rid of Leon forever, or just throw that useless human into Titan rather than polluting the earth with his disgusting nature," said Linda in anger. Her hatred for Leon had reached its peak at the moment. Even though Linda wasn't the one who was hurt by Leon, she really hated him. Linda didn't want Anne to be constantly harassed by people who have hurt her.

Anne looked at Linda who was currently also looking at her sharply on her cell phone screen. "What should I tell Jack? I'm afraid that Jack won't believe me, Linda, you know what Jack is like."

"Listen Anne, you are currently married. Even though your marriage is unique, but still your marriage is legal and it isn't good for a married couple to keep secrets from each other. So you better tell Jack everything as soon as possible, because I'm sure he will listen to you. It's better for Jack to know from you in person than to hear from someone else, Anne. We don't know how many people don't like us. Don't give anyone the slightest chance to disturb your marriage. Remember your struggle to be with Jack was long and hard. Don't let any shameless woman out there take your place. Jack is not an ordinary man, Anne. He's a rich man and you know that his money drives women crazy. I don't want you to fall victim to the madness of crazy women like that, who tried to hit the jackpot by using shortcuts," said Linda seriously. "Hurry up and tell Jack, before anything untoward happens, Anne. You don't know how evil Leon is, so don't postpone it."

Anne smiled. "Okay, after this I will tell everything to Jack. Thank you Linda, you are my hero."

"You are, Anne. I always pray for your happiness Anne, so hurry up and finish your food and go home. When Jack comes home tell him everything."

"Yes, Linda, yes. You are even more talkative now," said Anne softly teasing Linda.

"I'm only fussy about the people I love, Paul and you only. I don't care about others. If anything happens, don't hesitate to contact me, Anne. Remember you're not alone, you have me and Paul."

Anne smiled widely. "Yes Madam, I understand. I'll go now. Please send my love to Paul and thank you again for the advice, Linda. I love you."

"I love you too, Crybaby, bye."

Anne smiled as she looked at her cell phone screen, which had now showed her wedding photo with Jack as wallpaper. Because her stomach was no longer hurting, Anne decided not to eat her food. She then brought a tray of food that she ordered earlier to the cashier, Anne ordered the cashier to give the food to people who could not afford it. Again and again, Anne insisted that she had not touched the food and the cashier smiled.

Before going home, Anne went to the toilet first and was surprised to see that there were blood stains on her panties. Suddenly, her whole body felt weak.

"God, take care of us. Take care of me and my sons, God," said Anne softly with trembling lips. Anne had been told by the doctor who examined her yesterday that she would experience spots like the one she was currently experiencing.

After calming herself down, she ordered a taxi to go home without any notion, even though a big storm was already waiting for her at home. Jack waited for her silently in front of the entrance. He stood still staring at the gate waiting for Anne's arrival.
