Love Worth Fighting For

364 [Bonus chapter]Visit

With a wide smile on her face, Anne rushed into the house to move the roses Areez gave to the vase. As someone who has owned a flower shop business for many years, Anne is quite good at keeping flowers fresh.

After Anne left, Jorge then invited Areez and Aldrich to sit in the living room. Not long after the two young men sat down, the host who had just come down from his room immediately met the two. Although Jack had allowed Areez to approach Suri again, he had not fully forgiven Areez. Jack was still angry at the young man who still had royal blood.

“My wife has given you permission to approach, Suri. But I haven’t fully forgiven you, Areez. I can’t forgive the person who has held my daughter for so many years, separating her from all of us, the people who love her so much,” said Jack quietly with a piercing gaze at Areez who had just shaken hands with him.

“Then what should I do to get your forgiveness, sir?”

Jack raised an eyebrow. “Prove to me that you are a worthy man for my only daughter, since childhood Suri has lived in luxury and I want her future partner to be able to ensure her welfare.”

“I can do that, I’ve even prepared everything in Auckland. After we get married later, Suri will get her dream mansion in Auckland which is currently in the process of finishing,” Areez said excitedly. “I have prepared Suri’s dream home, sir.”

Jack shook his head. “No, I will not allow my daughter to live in a place that is out of my reach.”

Areez gasped.

“If you want to marry my daughter, you must own a house and a business in Geneva. Even if you two get married, I will still have to keep an eye on your behavior. You’ve held my daughter for three years and kept her away from the outside world, it’s not impossible that you would do the same. if you are married later,” added Jack again.

.....

“No sir, I would never do such a thing again. I would never hurt Suri, I really love her.” Areez’s face turned tense, his eyes filled with fear.

Jack pursed his lips. “Prove it then, prove that you are able to fulfill all the requests I mentioned earlier.”

“Uncle..”

Jack turned to Asher who had just appeared. “Yes.”

“Aunty asked uncle and the two people to immediately go to the dining table, the food is ready,” Asher said quietly. Asher, who was still annoyed with Areez, didn’t want to mention his name.

“Okay.” Jack slowly got up from the sofa. “Since the food is ready, let’s go to the dining room. I don’t want to make my wife wait too long, she’s already tired of preparing dinner.”

After tidying his clothes, Jack then walked into the dining room past Asher who was still standing where he was.

“Before there was a priest who legalized your marriage, Suri remained free. So don’t feel like you own her,” Asher said coldly.

Areez almost reacted if Aldrich hadn’t stopped him.

Asher who deliberately provoked Areez thinned his lips, he looked satisfied to see Areez’s anger. Without guilt, Asher then walked away towards the dining room following Jack who had left first.

“Asher ...”

“Patience, Areez. Remember that you are currently at the Suri family’s house, it will be very dangerous if you get into trouble. You must maintain your attitude, Areez,” Aldrich whispered quietly, trying to straighten Areez who had clenched his fists. “Let’s go to the dining room, don’t make Mrs. Marianne wait any longer.”

Areez didn’t move, he was still very unsettled. Asher’s words bothered him so much.

“Suri, look Suri has come down.” Aldrich turned Areez’s face towards Suri who was going down the stairs with Christian.

The two brothers looked fine even though it wasn’t like that, Christian, who accidentally met Suri in front of his room, chose to remain silent and didn’t speak even though Suri called his name. Actually, Christian is not hungry yet, but because his mother keeps calling him, he can’t help but finally come out of his room.

“Hi.” Areez greeted Suri gently.

“This is not a date place,” Christian said flatly as he continued his steps, past Suri who first set foot on the first floor. “If you guys want to make out, please find another place. I don’t want my house to be polluted.”

The dinner that Areez hoped to go well turned into a battlefield when Christian and Jack attacked him personally in front of everyone who was sitting around the dining table, Christian whose mood was still so chaotic after returning from the apartment where Zwetta lived, deliberately brought up his decision to lock Suri up in Auckland.

Areez, who did not expect to receive such a sudden attack, was nervous and confused about where to answer, because it was not only Christian who was waiting for an answer from him, Jack, Anne and everyone in front of him were also waiting for his answer. Luckily Suri had time to divert the conversation by pretending to choke while drinking, so Areez could rack his brain longer to string up the best answer.

“I’m a person who believes in love at first sight, that’s why I decided to make Suri mine by locking her in the house at that time. I was blinded by the desire to have Suri not think about the worst that would happen to her family when I decided to make Suri my woman,” Areez said quietly.

Christian purses his lips, giving a mocking look so real. “Love at first sight? Isn’t there a more logical reason you can give?”

Areez smiled, he was ready for this attack question. “Suri is the only girl who rejects me outright, maybe that’s what makes me even more excited to make her mine. I’m sure you’ve also felt what I felt at that time when you met a woman who made you flutter the first time you saw her, right? ?”

Checkmate!

Areez manages to return the question asked of him to Christian.

And Christian looks very displeased with Areez’s decision to return the question to him, it is clear that Christian’s facial expression changes as soon as Areez closes his lips.

Sensing the change in the atmosphere that was getting more and more uncomfortable, Anne then asked Jorge to immediately serve their main meal. The appearance of the maids who were bringing the main course to the dining table managed to make the atmosphere in the dining room a little more comfortable, the fragrant aroma of the best Japanese wagyu meat grilled at the right time managed to steal the attention of everyone who was already hungry.

Just like before, Jack again invited everyone to start enjoying the food that the maids had just served. Everyone except Christian immediately sliced ??the steak carefully. They all enjoyed the food and immediately gave compliments in turn to Anne after knowing that Anne was one of the people who helped make their dinner this time and Charlotte was the one who tried the hardest to get more attention than Anne who was sitting on her left.

“You’ll have a natural desire to learn to cook when you get married, honey. So don’t worry if you don’t know how to use a stove by now,” said Anne softly, trying to support Charlotte who had just said she didn’t know how to use a stove. .

Charlotte smiled. “If only I had a mother, maybe I could ask her so that I don’t have to have this excessive fear to face a new life in marriage.

The soft-hearted Anne immediately took Charlotte’s hand and squeezed it gently, as Charlotte wanted. Charlotte, who already knew how easily moved by Marianne Clarke for things like this, managed to make the most of the situation as well as ever.

From where she sat, Johan just smiled a little at what Charlotte was doing. Inwardly he praised the new girl’s cunning and cleverness. just slapped him, Johan really saluted the way Charlotte took to get sympathy from the very kind Mrs. Clarke.

“I think I have to be very careful, this girl is slicker than an eel,” said Johan in his heart, his attention still kept his eyes on Charlotte who was still talking to Anne.

When everyone else had refocusing on his food, Christian is suddenly startled by the appearance of Kainer. Kainer, who had been allowed to go home, immediately went to Clarke’s mansion to meet Christian. Christian who was so surprised, greeted Kainer with joy, regardless of the disappointed look Charlotte gave him. Without hesitation Christian moved to a seat beside the seat that had been provided for Kainer. Even though he can still see Kainer in the hospital, Christian still feels so lost. Working alone for almost five weeks made Christian realize how much he needed Kainer’s side.

Seeing Christian so excited makes Jack smile a little, Jack feels happy to see his son excited again. Since Luna’s death three days ago, this is the first time Christian has spoken so much.

“Has the doctor really let go home, Kainer?” asked Suri slowly.

Kainer nodded slowly. “That’s it Miss, all my fractured ribs have been reconnected. That’s why I got permission to go home.”

“But you still have to keep yourself at the hospital regularly, don’t you?” Suri asked again.

“Once a week, Miss,” Kainer replied with a smile, being able to see Suri talking normally without any fear in her eyes made Kainer feel relieved.

“In that case, thank God.” Jack, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke. “From now on you have to be careful, Kainer. Make sure everything is safe before traveling so something like this doesn’t happen again in the future.”

Kainer, who knew where Jack was talking, straightened up. “I understand, sir.”

Jack smiled. “Welcome back again, Kainer. Good to see you back to health.”

“Thank you, sir,” Kainer said sincerely.

Ting...ting...

Asher suddenly rang and raised his glass in the air, trying to get everyone’s attention.

“Let’s have a toast, let’s celebrate Kainer’s recovery tonight,” Asher said quietly as he flashed his best smile.

Jack was the first person to follow Asher, followed by Anne and Suri who stood almost at the same time then followed by everyone including Kainer himself who was given water by Christian as a substitute for wine. Even though Kainer didn’t get a ban on drinking wine, Christian chose not to let his best assistant drink. Christian doesn’t want Kainer to fall again, he really needs his assistant’s help right now.

“For the healing of Kainer.” Jack raised his glass higher.

“For the healing of Kainer.”

Everyone repeated Jack’s words in unison before finally drinking the wine in their glasses in one gulp.

The warm atmosphere in the dining room did not last long when suddenly Jorge appeared with a pale face, looking frightened as if he had just seen a ghost.

“What’s wrong Jorge?” asked Anne quietly, Anne being the first to notice that something was wrong with Jorge.

Jorge gulped. “There’s a guest up ahead who wants to...”

“Hi everyone....”
