Chapter 619 - Siberian Tiger

When the sun started to rise, Jack had just come down from the second floor alone, because Anne refused to go down with him. Anne was still annoyed with Jack after he refused to go to Luxembourg to pick up Christian. Anne was angry at Jack for being considered indifferent to her feelings.

"Where are Erick, Nicholas, and Alice?"

"They've gone to the office since morning, sir."

Jack nodded his head. He then grabbed the glass of water that was on the table and immediately drank it down until finished.

"Bring breakfast for my wife to my room, looks like she won't be able to come down this morning," said Jack quietly as he grabbed the fork that was next to his plate.

"Okay sir..."

The maid's words stopped when she saw Anne came down from the second floor. Her face looked pale because since two in the morning she had not slept again after crying over Christian.

Anne walked calmly to the dining table. She did not answer the greetings of the maids who greeted her.

"I want blueberry pancakes," said Anne quietly as she sat down in a chair.

"O-okay Madam, we'll get it ready."

The waiters who heard Anne's request immediately rushed to make pancakes ordered by the madam, so that in a short time three blueberry pancakes were available on the dining table.

When she saw that the pancakes were ready, Anne immediately grabbed them with one hand and ate them, but after just one bite, she put the pancakes back on the plate.

"Why? Don't you like it?" Jack asked Anne quietly.

"I forgot, blueberry pancakes are one of Christian's favorite foods... I can't possibly eat them," answered Anne quietly with tears already welling up in her eyes.

Jack took a deep breath. He was getting ready to get up and approached Anne before she finally grabbed her cell phone which suddenly rang.

"Mommy..."

Christian's voice was immediately clear when Anne received a video call from Luis.

"Baby.. why did you go without taking Mommy, honey?"

Christian chuckled. "I'm with Grandpa Luis, Mommy. Today I was invited to go see a tiger like Daddy's tiger."

"See the tiger? Where did you see the tiger, dear?"

"At the zoo. There are lots of mommy animals there. I love seeing them.

"Are you having fun, hm?"

"Yes, I am." Christian spoke loudly with sparkling eyes.

Anne chuckled at the adorable behavior of her son. All her annoyance and anger disappeared when she saw Christian's very loose laugh. It seemed that Luis and the maids in Luxembourg spoiled him so much. Her chat with Christian lasted almost thirty minutes. During that time Jack didn't touch his food, he just kept staring at Anne who was sitting on the sofa not far from the dining table.

"Can I speak to you, Madam?" Luis suddenly joined in, interrupting Anne and Christian.

Anne looked at Luis, who had now appeared on the screen of her cell phone. "Speak, Luis."

Louis smiled. "Sorry if I took the young master without your permission, I have to take him to Luxembourg immediately on family business, Madam."

"But Christian is still small, Luis. He doesn't have to deal with family assets just yet. I want Christian to grow up normally like boys his age, Luis," said Anne hoarsely holding back her tears.

"Yes ma'am, I know. But what I am doing is very important. The young master's name must be immediately listed in the Clarke family important documents. He should also immediately bear the name Clarke behind his name instead of using the last name you gave him," said Luis seriously. His eyes stared intently at Anne as he spoke as if he was talking face-to-face with Anne.

Anne took a deep breath. "Does it need to be done so quickly, Luis?"

"It is, Madam, the sooner the better. I have to make sure all the rights of the young master belong to him even though at this time he still doesn't understand all of it, actually this kind of thing shouldn't have happened if you had accepted my suggestion to immediately put Clarke's last name for young master," Luis replied back without pause.

Anne bit her lower lip. She recalled the email Luis sent her a few days after Christian was born. At that time, Luis had reminded her to immediately put Clarke's name behind Christian's name, but at that time Anne, who was angry with Jack, preferred to put her father's last name for Christian.

"But Christian isn't being taken anywhere, is he?" asks Anne quietly trying to change the subject.

Louis smiled. "Of course not, I just took the young master to the attorney's office to do the documentation and change his last name. And took him to the grandmaster's grave, to inform the old master that the great-grandson he had been waiting for was already born."

Anne's chest suddenly felt tight hearing Luis' words. She knew very well that during her life her late grandfather really wanted her to get pregnant and give birth to an heir for the Clarke family before he died. However, his wish had not been realized yet, the grandfather had gone forever following the family members he had missed so much.

"Thank you, Louis."

Luis immediately raised an eyebrow at Anne's words. "Excuse me, Madam, what are you talking about?" Luis tried to confirm what Anne had said for fear of hearing the wrong thing.

"Thank you for bringing Christian to Grandpa's grave. At least, even though they didn't meet in person, Grandpa would be glad Christian came to his house," said Anne quietly with tears already streaming down her face, discussing her grandfather making her sad.

Luis was shocked. He was silent for a while because he couldn't believe the words that Anne said. Luis really didn't expect Anne to say something like that, even though he thought Anne would be angry if Christian was taken to the cemetery.

"You're not angry, Madam?"

Anne smiled as she wiped her tears. "Why am I angry? What you're doing is right, Christian should know who his ancestors were."

On the other end of the phone, Luis was getting speechless. He couldn't believe Anne would talk like that. Even though he knew that Anne was a good woman, Luis still couldn't believe he would hear such wise words from the madam.

"Well then Christian can stay in Luxembourg for a few days. There are still many places to visit with you. Take good care of my son, Luis, don't let this female Siberian tiger get angry. Because believe me, you won't be able to handle her," added Anne back while smile.

"A-are you serious, Madam?" Luis asked stuttering. This was the first time in his life that a former Luxembourg special police officer who always managed to do his job spoke with a stutter. In front of a woman, too. Damn!

Anne smiled. "Yes, yes I want to eat now. My stomach is hungry, remember my message well Luis. Take good care of my son, if there is even a slight wound of his skin then you will deal with me."

After saying that innocently, Anne immediately turned off the incoming call from Luis and got up from the sofa to join Jack at the dining table. Jack, who had been a good listener since then, was very surprised to see Anne's drastic change in attitude.

"Anne..."

"Give me the same beef my husband is having, I'm really hungry." Anne spoke aloud, interrupting Jack's words with a smile.
