Chapter 456 - [Bonus ]“First” Meeting

Anne didn't bring Erick and Alice straight to Clarke's residence. She took the two of them out for lunch, because she wanted to tell the two of them some things before going home and meeting Alan. While Anne was telling them the story, Erick and Alice did not utter a single word at all. The two people were so focused on the sentence after sentence that came out of Anne's lips.

"That's why I asked you to come to Luxembourg to help my husband find his brother's killer and restore his memory,

" said Anne slowly, repeating a few sentences she had said before to close her explanation to Erick and Alice.

"So t-that guy really is Mr. Jack?

" Alice stammered.

"Yes, Alice, but please keep calling him Alan. I don't want to put him in danger if he finds out he's not Alan. What we are doing now is making him remember who he is slowly. I want him to remember his own memories naturally, without force. That's why I invited you both here. I want to ask the two of you for help as people who have had contact with him before, especially you, Erick,

" Anne answered quietly, without taking her eyes off of Erick who had been silent for a long time.

"Is it going to work this way?

" Erick asked quietly.

Anne shook her head slowly.

"I don't know yet, but it certainly won't hurt us to try this. I'm sure his memories will return if he is with people he knows very well, plus the doctors have stopped giving him the therapy, so the possibility to restore his memory is even bigger, Erick.

"

Erick took Anne's hand and held it tightly.

"Don't worry, Miss... er Madam, I will definitely do my best to get him back to his own self. I'll make him remember himself slowly, there's no way he can forget our years together that easily. I'm sure that I can make Master return to his old self, the way he used to be, I will also make sure that the murderer of Master's twin brother rots in prison soon. That damned human being must get what he deserves immediately.

"

Anne shed tears because she was moved when she heard Erick's words. She was very happy because Erick wanted to help her. Seeing Anne cry, Alice quickly grabbed a tissue to wipe Anne's tears.

"Calm down, Anne, you're not alone. You have Erick and I, we'll definitely help you get Master's memory back,

" said Alice softly when she finished wiping Anne's tears.

"Thanks, Alice, sorry to bother you.

"

Alice shook her head quickly.

"No, don't say that, Anne. I'm not bothered at all, I'm actually very happy to help you. After all, I owe Mr. Jack a lot in my life, Anne. Without his kindness at that time, I might still be a receptionist without knowing I have ability in other fields. If there was no trust from him at that time to appoint me as his secretary, maybe now my family's debt has not been settled. That's why I don't feel burdened at all. I am actually very happy, Mr. Jack is a good person just like you, Anne, and It's time for you to be happy after what you've been through for the past two years.

"

Anne smiled sadly at Alice's words. The tightness that had been holding her back for several days slowly faded away. The two people she really trusted to help her didn't mind at all and this made Anne even more convinced that she could make her husband remember his true self without hurting him.

"Well, let's go home, Madam, I can't wait to meet Master,

" Erick said excitedly when he got up from the chair, inviting Anne to go home.

Anne wiped the tears that were still on her face. She slowly got up from the chair and they immediately left the restaurant where they were having lunch to go home to Mr. David Clarke. After returning from Norway, Mr. David Clarke had asked her and Alan to stay at home with him, and his decision made Anne very happy, because then Alan could not touch her as he pleased. Even though she already knew Alan was the man she loved the most, but she didn't want Alan to touch her again before he really remembered her. That was why Alan had been so irritable for the past few days.

Along the way to the Clarke family residence, Anne and her two guests again engaged in serious talks to finalize their plans. Anne really didn't want the slightest mistake to happen. So she planned so neatly.

"Okay, we've arrived,

" said Anne quietly as she entered the Clarke family residence area.

"Wow, that's huge,

" said Alice spontaneously.

"Yes, it is, so it is very natural that many people want to get rid of the heirs of this family,

" answered Anne softly in a hoarse voice.

Erick smiled at Anne's words.

"But you don't have to worry, Madam, as long as I'm by his side, I won't let anyone do anything bad to him. I'll risk my life to protect him.

"

"Thank you, Erick, thank you for your loyalty to my husband.

"

"This is my duty, Madam, you don't need to thank me,

" said Erick quickly.

Alice patted Erick's shoulder. She was happy that her boyfriend was so loyal to his master. There was great pride in Alice to accompany Erick, who was so loyal to his master, because Alice believed a man who was loyal to his master would also be loyal to his partner.

Not wanting to make Alan upset at her, Anne rushed out of the car. She was sure that the man must have gone mad because he couldn't find her whereabouts. When Anne got out of the car, she was suddenly startled by a loud voice from a man who was already very angry.

"Master...

" Erick muttered softly. He knew Jack's voice very well.

Anne smiled and gave a code to Erick and Alice to immediately climb the stairs to enter the house with her. Anne's smile widened when she saw her husband standing with his hands on his hips in front of the door with Nicholas and several bodyguards dressed in all black, who lowered their heads.

"Why did you go without telling me anything, Anne?

" Alan shouted loudly when Anne was already standing in front of him. His eyes flashed angrily at the moment.

"I've spoken to Grandpa, and earlier I also sent a message to Luis,

" replied Anne very calmly. She knew that Alan would never be able to do any harm to her because there was Mr. David Clarke protecting her in this house.

Alan shrugged.

"Your husband is me, Anne, why are you saying goodbye to other people!!

"

"So are you angry with me?

" asked Anne quickly.

"Of course I'm angry with you, you've made me ...

"

Alan stopped his words when he saw two strangers standing behind Anne. He was silent and tried to remember the faces of the couple who were looking at him warmly.

"Erick and Alice, you remember them, don't you? They were the two who met me on the Camp North Tour that night,

" said Anne quickly, trying to remind Alan again.

"Ahh I see...! The two people who helped you escape from me, right?!

"

"Alan...

"

Alan laughed out loud. He then stepped his foot and quickly wrapped his arms around Anne possessively.

"Hello, sir...

"

"Call me Erick, sir, just Erick without any frills. I don't deserve the title that only you deserve.

" Erick immediately cut Alan's words while extending his hand towards the master he had missed so much.

Alan pursed his lips at Erick's words.

"Apparently you are quite polite, Erick,

" Alan said quietly and held Erick's hand firmly without letting go of Anne in his embrace, who he had grabbed with his left hand.

Erick refrained from shedding tears. He didn't want to ruin his first meeting with his master with tears.

"I can even do more than this to please you, sir... What I mean is that I can serve you well, sir, much better than your assistant.

"
