345 Charlotte real face
Charlotte’s arrival makes Jack postpone his plan to tell Anne about his activities at Echternach, even though Jack already knows Charlotte well but Jack still doesn’t want to tell other people about his family problems including Charlotte.
“Who told you where we were, Cherry?” asked Jack quietly, using Charlotte’s first name.
Charlotte, who was trying to calm Anne, turned to Jack who was sitting in front of her. “Suri.”
One of Jack’s eyebrows rose. “Suri?”
Even though Suri is currently still in prison, Suri definitely won’t be able to divulge her family problems to others. Including the arrival of Jack and Anne to Luxembourg, that’s why Jack felt doubtful to hear Charlotte’s answer.
“Yesterday while we were having lunch, I overheard Suri and Asher talking about Uncle and Aunty’s departure to Luxembourg.” Charlotte tries to explain how she first found out about Jack and Anne’s whereabouts. “I’m actually worried about Christian too, it’s been almost a week my message hasn’t been sent to him. That’s why I came to Luxembourg.”
“Christian is on a secret overseas business, that’s why he turned off his cellphone, Christian wants to focus more on his work,” said Jack lying, Jack deliberately lied to Charlotte about Christian. Jack doesn’t want Christian to get angry with him if Charlotte finds out about Zwetta, Jack learns a lot from his past.
“Oh I see, it’s only natural that all the messages I sent to him are still pending. Apparently his cellphone is not active,” Charlotte muttered softly with her head slightly nodding.
Feeling uncomfortable with Charlotte’s presence, Jack then gave Erick and Jorge a code to take Charlotte to the guest room. He wanted to talk privately with Anne, Jack realized that at this time his wife was waiting for an explanation.
.....
“Let us take you to your room, Miss Charlotte,” said Erick kindly. “Your room has been prepared by Jorge.”
“The maids have also prepared warm water for you to bathe. You must be tired after traveling so late.” Jorge immediately responded to Erick’s words quickly.
Charlotte frowned. “But I still want to be with Aunty, I want to comfort Aunty Anne.”
“Rest, let Uncle take care of Aunty.”
Charlotte, who still pretended not to know that her presence made the host feel uncomfortable, was still trying to refuse to enter her room, Charlotte was still trying to steal Anne’s heart. Knowing that Anne is so gentle and easily fooled that Charlotte has an eye on Anne, she wants to make Anne a stepping stone in order to achieve her wish which is to find Christian and become Clarke’s mistress.
“But I...”
“Go to your room, dear,” said Anne softly. “It’s getting late, you must be tired.”
“I’m fine, Auntie,” Charlotte replied stubbornly. “I want to accompany Aunty and...”
“Aunty is okay.” Anne again gave an implied code to Charlotte to enter her room. “Aunty and Uncle will also rest after this.”
Charlotte immediately grabbed Anne’s hand and squeezed it tightly. “Okay then, I’ll rest. Aunty promise, after this sleep, Aunty looks pale. I’m afraid Aunty is sick.”
Anne smiled warmly. “Thanks for your concern dear.”
Suddenly Charlotte hugged Anne tightly and said, “I’m here Aunty, later when Christian comes home I will calm him down. I will help him face this reality, even though they are not married Christian must be sad that the woman who gave birth to his child died.”
Not only was Anne surprised to hear Charlotte’s words, Jack, Erick and Jorge were also surprised. They were disturbed by Charlotte’s words. However, the kind Anne managed to get over her quickly. Using her left hand, Anne patted Charlotte’s back gently.
“Well then I’ll go into my room, Aunty also has to rest, huh,” Charlotte said softly as she released her arms from Anne’s body.
Anne nodded. “Yes dear, Auntie will also rest.”
Having no other choice, Charlotte finally got up from the sofa and immediately followed Jorge who directed her to the guest room. Actually without anyone’s help, Charlotte could go alone to the guest room. Having often visited the Clarke family mansion since she was young, she has memorized the ins and outs of the hundreds of years old mansion, but because she is currently trying to win over Anne and Jack, Charlotte is trying her best to be a good girl so that her wish to become Christian can be materialize soon.
“You already know what you have to do, don’t you, Erick?”
Erick nodded slowly. “I will soon find out the truth of what Miss Charlotte said, sir.”
“Does it have to go that far, Jack?”
Jack turned his attention back to Anne. “Of course, his dad in that asshole Chester was openly flirting with you decades ago and to be honest I still can’t believe that girl.”
“We’ve known him for years, Jack. what else can’t you believe in him?” asked Anne again confused.
Jack held out his hand to Anne. “We’re done with this unimportant discussion, there’s something else we need to discuss quickly, Anne.”
Anne’s face immediately changed. “Is this about Elena?”
Jack smiled and waved his hand. “We’ll talk in the room, let’s go in.”
Without arguing, Anne immediately grabbed Jack’s hand. She knew there were now much more serious matters to be discussed. After Anne accepted his outstretched hand, Jack then led Anne back to the room.
As soon as the master and the madam went up to the second floor to their room, Erick immediately left the family room to immediately do the task that had just been given by Jack. Not only did Jack doubt Charlotte’s honesty, Erick, who had been a good listener and observer since then, also felt unsure about Charlotte. Erick was sure that if Suri and Asher wouldn’t be able to discuss family matters in the office, the two children were smart enough not to bring family problems to the office. That’s why Erick had doubts about Charlotte’s confession a moment ago.
When all the main lights in the mansion were turned off, Charlotte could be seen walking cautiously from the hallway to the left. The girl that Jorge brought into her room a few moments ago walked on tiptoe, trying not to make a sound so as not to attract anyone’s attention. Taking advantage of the limited lighting, Charlotte walked towards the living room where she had gathered with the others. Unbeknownst to anyone, moments before Charlotte entered the room, the girl had put her cellphone on the sidelines of the sofa. Charlotte deliberately left her cell phone on the sofa in order to overhear everyone’s conversation after she entered the room.
“Looks like I’ll have to try extra hard after this, Uncle Jack is still not on my side,” Charlotte said quietly after she managed to retrieve her cell phone. “But don’t worry, Uncle Jack will surely bless me and Christian sooner or later. I’m the only person who fits and fits Christian Clarke’s side.”
*****
“Can the young man named Jason justify what he said, Jack? Are you sure he’s not lying?”
Jack placed the teacup on the table carefully. “I don’t really believe it either, Anne. Right now I’m still keeping a close eye on the young man, sooner or later we’ll get the truth about what he said to me.”
Anne took a deep breath. “I’m sure Elena is still alive, Jack, I’m absolutely sure. Whoever brought Elena out of the hospital secretly back then must have taken good care of her.”
“I hope so too, Anne,” said Jack quickly, as fast as the movement of his hand that immediately grabbed Anne’s hand which felt so cold. “This storm will soon pass, Anne. Hold on a little longer.”
“I know Jack, we will definitely win this fight soon,” said Anne softly.
Jack smiled widely. “Oh yeah, what about Luna. You haven’t explained her condition to me earlier.”
The happy smile on Anne’s face disappeared in an instant.
“Anne...”
“Luna needs surgery immediately, Jack,” said Anne quietly. “It’s not only her heart that has a problem, one of her lungs is also experiencing a decline in function.”
Jesus...
Anne wiped the tears that had just flowed down her face. “The pediatrician from America who accompanied Doctor Kimmy to look after Luna said that Luna has been great to survive this far, with many problems with her internal organs, Luna is included in the category of an extraordinary child.” Anne’s voice was getting lost, remembering that Luna’s condition had worsened again, which made her so scared. The trauma of Princess’ death decades ago comes back to haunt her.
Jack immediately closed his eyes, his chest felt so tight hearing Anne’s words. Even though he actually knew from Kimmy’s doctor directly, when he heard the news again from his wife, Jack felt so sick.
“We have to find Elena, Jack,” said Anne again. “Before it’s too late.”
“Luna will be fine, Anne!” Jack immediately reacted with a loud voice. “Don’t talk nonsense like that.”
