Love Worth Fighting For

390 First night

“It’s because of Areez,” replied Anne with a smile. “It was Areez who made them leave without any suspicion.”

“Areez”

Jack and Christian repeat Anne’s words at the same time, they both look shocked.

“I contacted Nicholas and worked together to create a little bit of trouble in the finance department, so Asher inevitably had to go back to check in person at Muller Finance International.” Areez who was leaning on the pillar explained the scenario he made a moment ago to everyone with a smile. “That’s the only way to get them to leave unsuspectingly, and the sooner they leave the quieter the house will be. I don’t like that guy named Johan either.”

“Don’t like Johan?” Christian focuses on Areez’s last sentence.

Areez removed his hands from his chest. “Yeah, I don’t like her. The way he steals glances at Suri makes me want to gouge out his eyes and throw them at the peacock in the back garden.”

“Areez.”

Areez turned to Suri who had just warned him.

“I’m serious, the way Johan looks at you makes my blood boil and I want to get rid of him. A little different from what Asher did back then.”

.....

“Asher, what’s wrong with Asher?” This time it was Anne who responded to Areez’s words quickly, hearing the name of her another son called Areez made Anne a little disturbed.

Instead of answering Anne’s question, Areez looked at Suri who was still standing in front of him. Areez is asking for Suri’s approval to say all the words that Asher said to himself a few months ago while he was in the dungeon that was in Clarke’s mansion in Geneva.

“Areez ..” Anne again said Areez’s name impatiently. “What’s wrong with Asher, why did you involve that good boy in this matter? Asher is part of the Clarke family, he would never betray or harm us. I raised him myself with both hands so I know the child’s personality very well, beyond anybody.”

Suri nodded her head slowly, giving Areez permission to speak.

With a gaze full of love Areez touched Suri’s cheek gently and turned his gaze back to everyone who was currently staring at her without blinking. After taking a deep breath, Areez finally recounted all the conversations he had with Asher when he was in the basement at Clarke’s mansion a few months ago. Not only did Anne look very shocked, Jack and Christian also looked shocked when they heard Areez’s words mentioning Asher’s desire to marry Suri.

“I know you guys won’t believe it, but I swear to God I’m not lying. Asher actually said that to me, even though at that time his intention was to hurt me but I felt he was speaking seriously. The way he said Suri’s name at that time was so sincere, as well as when he expressed his desire to marry Suri,” Areez said quietly seriously, his left hand grabbed Suri’s hand and squeezed it tightly. “Since it was Asher’s words that made the puppets come back to meet you, I won’t let anyone snatch Suri from me. Even if it’s Asher, I will face it seriously.”

Anne immediately massaged her forehead which suddenly hurt, she didn’t expect to hear such a thing from Areez. Anne is very sure that Asher loves Suri as his own sister, considering the togetherness they have passed since childhood.

“For Asher’s problem you don’t have to worry, I will immediately intervene if the child dares to harass Suri,” Christian said suddenly, his wide smile as he spoke as if he was being aimed at his parents who had always been so special to Asher. “Asher will not be able to interfere with your relationship.”

Areez pursed his lips, although slightly surprised by Christian’s reaction but Areez was pleased. “Thank you.”

Christian nodded. “Oh yeah, has my wife calmed down at this point?”

“Zwetta slept not long after I changed her clothes, she seemed really exhausted. I think your second child is a boy, Chist,” replied Suri with a smile.

Christian’s eyes are wide open. “A boy, how do you know?”

“I’ve read in an article that the signs a mother is pregnant with a boy are how difficult it is in the early stages of pregnancy and that is currently being faced by your wife. So I think your second child is a boy, ” replied Suri as he spoke.

“Don’t talk nonsense, where is there an article like that!” Christian said, annoyed, he knew that his sister was talking nonsense.

Suri shook her head. “I’m not talking nonsense, I’ve read the article.”

“Yes yes yes ... I hope what you said was true, I think what you said was a prayer because to be honest I really want a boy right now,” Christian said with a hopeful smile.

“May your wish come true, Christ.” Areez smiled broadly as he spoke. “It’s time for you to be happy.”

Christian smiles again. “Thank you, okay then I will see my wife now.”

Areez and Suri nodded their heads simultaneously in response to Christian’s words, they were both happy with Christian’s marriage going smoothly.

With a bit of a run, Christian rushes towards the second floor leaving behind the uncomfortable aura that is going on on the first floor. Anne and Jack were still so shocked by the information they had heard from Areez.

“Can you explain again what you mean, Areez?” Jack spoke again in a slightly heavy voice.

Arees smiled. “Of course, let’s sit down first. It’s very uncomfortable to talk while standing like this.”

****

Carefully Christian opens the door to his room, as well as when he manages to enter. Staring at Zwetta who was fast asleep on the bed in a supine position like now made him so happy, after sleeping in regret, now he finally felt an extraordinary happiness.

Unknowingly, Christian squeezes the file containing his marriage certificate with Zwetta which is still in his left hand, the feeling of happiness being so overflowing in his chest.

Dissatisfied with seeing Zwetta from a distance, Christian slowly begins to walk towards the bed. But when he almost reached his destination, Christian suddenly stopped his steps. He remembered Areez’s words two hours ago when he said Zwetta was allergic to his scent, though he couldn’t believe it but Christian was a little disturbed by it. That’s why Christian finally changed his steps towards the bathroom, Christian wanted to take a shower first before approaching his wife who was still fast asleep. Christian hopes the smell of his body in the shower doesn’t make Zwetta throw up again like before, Christian can’t imagine what will happen to him if Zwetta refuses to be approached.

After keeping his important files in a safe place, Christian then goes into the bathroom to freshen up. He was quite happy to spend his first night as a husband in the bathroom alone.
