Chapter 554 - New Hope
All the way to the hotel, Jack couldn't stop smiling. He was happy to see the expression Anne gave a moment ago when he said he would use legal means to fight over Christian's custody.
"Looks like Paul and Linda are on our side, sir," Erick said softly with a smile.
Jack turned to Erick quickly. "Is that true?"
Eric nodded. "It seems that the husband and wife are interested in your offer, sir."
Jack chuckled. "Good, then at least they'll find their own happiness. Make sure Doctor Leo, Doctor Caitlyn, and the others are ready for their arrival."
"Yes, sir."
Jack smiled broadly. He was really looking forward to bringing his wife and son home. Jack had prepared a large room for Christian in their house. Even the walk-in closet in their room was now filled with various kinds of expensive items, ranging from bags, shoes, jewelry and the latest Paris clothes for Anne. Jack had really prepared everything very carefully, he was sure he could bring his wife and son back to Switzerland.
The convoy of cars carrying Jack finally arrived at the Marks @ The Manor hotel. A hotel clerk immediately opened the door for Jack shortly after the car stopped. Jack gave a smile to the clerk who opened the door for him.
Erick and Nicholas looked at each other when they saw their master was smiling at someone else. It was their master's first smile at someone else in the last 3 years. Meeting his wife and son had completely changed Jack's personality.
"Oh yeah, Eric, I almost forgot." Jack said firmly. "Empty Codona's Amusement Park this afternoon. I want to take Christian to the place this afternoon and I don't want any visitors to disturb us," said Jack coldly, full of threats.
"Okay sir, I'll go straight to that place," Erick answered quickly.
"Good! And you Nick, come with me. You have other important work to do."
"Yes, sir." Nicholas answered quickly.
After receiving orders from his master, Erick then rushed from the hotel lobby to Codona's Amusement Park which was adjacent to Aberdeen beach and Queen Links on the North coast. While Nicholas was trailing behind Jack, he listened carefully to Jack's orders. Nicholas was seen nodding his head repeatedly in response to Jack's words.
"Remember, Nick, I don't want the slightest mistake. So make sure everything is perfect before I come."
"Yes, sir, I understand."
"Okay, you can prepare everything. I want to rest for a while before I'll have some fun with my son."
Nicholas immediately nodded his head, paying respects to Jack who finally got into the elevator with the four bodyguards escorting him. As soon as the master was out of sight, Nicholas immediately carried out the orders given by his master to prepare everything needed for tonight's event.
In the elevator, Jack continued to smile when he saw the photos of Christian that he got from Anne's florist's social media account. Apparently, Anne and Linda made Christian the main model of the flower shop. Because Christian's cuteness and handsomeness, Anne's florist account had a large number of followers. The followers were mostly girls who were passionate about Christian. While looking at the photos of his son, Jack's attention was suddenly diverted when he read the comments of several people who said they wanted to adopt Christian. Some of them even offered a high price to become Christian's parents. Jack's jaw immediately hardened when he read the comment.
"Fuck! Do you think my son is for sale? How dare you offer this small amount of money!" growled Jack in irritation. He got carried away by emotions because of the comments from several accounts that had been posted about three months ago.
Jack took photos of the three accounts that had offered Anne some money to obtain Christian. He took photos of the accounts and sent them to Erick to find out who the real owner was. He wanted to see how rich people wanted his son, the son of Jackson Knight Clarke.
When the elevator stopped on the floor he was going to, Jack rushed out with long strides. He rushed to his room to calm down. Knowing that someone else wanted his son made him feel uneasy. Now his desire to take Anne and Christian back to Switzerland was even greater at this time. When he arrived at the room, Jack immediately threw the coat he had previously opened while walking towards the room. His possessiveness was getting bigger now. Jack immediately contacted the members of the Warriors who were guarding around Anne's house. He wanted to make sure that his wife and son were still in the house.
"No one has left the house until this moment, sir. If there is any movement, I will certainly immediately inform you."
Jack smiled coldly. "Okay, remember I don't want any mistakes. Don't let me lose track of my wife and son again."
After saying that, Jack then hung up the phone and immediately threw himself on the bed. He stared at the ceiling of his hotel room which was spotlessly clean.
"I'm sorry if I was mean to you, dear, but this is the only way to get you back home to Switzerland with our son. I won't let you two live outside in such circumstances, Jackson Knight Clarke's son and wife must live comfortably," he muttered. Jack groaned as he remembered what he had said to Anne earlier.
Jack realized that if he wanted to bring Anne home, he must first get Christian. That was why Jack deliberately said he wanted to take Christian home. It would be different if he asked Anne to come home, it was certain that Anne would quickly refuse him. Therefore, Jack deliberately flicked Anne's maternal ego by saying that he wanted to take Christian away from her.
Because he still had a lot of activities to do today with Anne and Christian, Jack finally decided to get some nap first as he wanted to gather all his energy before playing with Christian on the playground that was being vacated by Erick.

< Anne and Linda's house >
Linda still sat on her bed looking at Christian who was still asleep on her bed.
"I actually don't have the heart to Anne, I'm sure Anne is angry with us, Paul. She must be disappointed and thinks that we have betrayed her and take Jack's side," Linda said softly while stroking Christian's handsome face.
Paul smiled, lovingly wiping Linda's tears. "Anne will understand. Right now she just needs time."
Linda nodded her head. Suddenly, she grabbed her husband's hand and gripped it tightly. "Are you sure this will work?"

"There's nothing wrong with trying, Linda, especially you know that the doctor they prepare is the best doctor. I'm sure there's still hope, Linda."
Linda's tears fell slowly. "Yes, I believe that hope is still there. May God answer our prayers, Paul."
"Amen, I believe God will grant all our wishes."
"Amen."
