During breakfast, there was no conversation whatsoever between Anne and her two friends in the dining room. Only Christian's chatter showed that there was still life in the house.

"Milk...milk...! I want my chocolate milk, Mommy,

" Christian screamed loudly, startling Anne, Linda, and Paul.

"Have you finished your meal?

" Anne asked softly, smiling at Christian.

"Look!

" Christian shows his empty plate excitedly.

Anne chuckled, as did Linda, who ran a hand through Christian's hair.

Paul got up from his chair and approached Christian with a glass filled with Christian's warm chocolate milk.

"Good boy! Here's your chocolate milk.

"

"Thanks, Papa, you are the best!!!

" Christian shouted happily, one second after that the child immediately drank the chocolate milk in his hand.

"Christian, do you love Dad?

" Paul asked softly.

"Of course, I love Dad, Mom, and Mommy,

" Christian replied innocently.

Paul's eyes suddenly felt hot. Even though he had helped raise Christian all this time, he realized that Christian was not his, especially now that Christian's biological father had arrived, Paul was really tormented by a sadness that he never imagined.

"Dad, are you crying?

"

Paul shook his head.

"No, honey, suddenly there was dust in my eyes. That's why I looked like I'm about to cry.

"

"Poor dad, what can I help you with?

"

"Nothing, dear, I'm alright,

" said Paul, smiling.

Christian looked at Paul without blinking. The bright boy was trying to find out the truth for himself. When Christian opened his mouth, suddenly they were all surprised by the arrival of Jack and his two assistants. They brought a lot of shopping bags containing toys for Christian and some of his favorite snacks.

"Jack,

" Anne muttered quietly when she saw Jack suddenly appear.

"Hi son, do you still remember me?

" Jack asked quietly to his son.

Christian smiled.

"Sure, you're the uncle from yesterday, aren't you?

"

Jack chuckled.

"No, I wasn't an uncle at that time. I am your Daddy.

"

Anne's eyes widened at Jack's words. She almost screamed and ran to the man if Linda didn't hold her back.

"Daddy?

"

Jack smiled and approached Christian's baby chair.

"Yes, I am your Daddy.

"

Christian looked at Jack sharply. He slowly put down his glass of hot chocolate and reached his hand to Jack's face. Christian felt his biological father's face subconsciously.

"Why did you come now, Daddy?

"

Jack was silent. He couldn't believe he would get such a question from his son, who was still two years old. And not only was Jack surprised, but everyone in the room was as surprised as Jack, especially Anne. Anne really didn't expect Christian to say that to his father, the bond between father and son was indeed really strong.

Jack lovingly grabbed Christian from his baby chair and immediately hugged him tightly.

"I'm sorry, forgive your Daddy, son. You want to forgive Daddy right?

"

"Why do you have to apologize? What did you do wrong?

" Christian asked again innocently.

"I ...

"

Jack's words stopped because suddenly Anne came and grabbed Christian from his arms forcibly. Christian, who was waiting for an answer from Jack, didn't seem to like being held by his mother. He struggled and asked to be released from his mother's arms. He even hit Anne's chest several times while extending his tiny hand towards Jack, asking for help, but before Jack grabbed Christian, suddenly Anne stepped back and gave Christian to Paul.

"Bring Christian in,

" said Anne softly.

"Anne ...

"

"Quick, Paul, you too, Linda,

" barked Anne hard. She didn't care about Jack's shouts and Christian's cries, who wanted to be with Jack.

Linda nodded his head with quickly. She then forced Paul to enter the room, leaving the dining room, ignoring Christian's increasingly loud cries.

"Damn… Don't you hear that our son is crying?!

"

"He's my son, not yours!

" said Anne loudly.

"He's here because of me, how can you get pregnant by yourself?! Don't be crazy, Anne.

"

Anne was immediately silent when she heard Jack's words and Jack didn't waste the opportunity. He immediately approached Anne and pushed her against the wall.

"I will take my son, my flesh and blood with or without your permission. You know I have the power to do that,

" said Jack coldly right in front of Anne's face. His breath was ragged when he spoke like that, especially in a very close distance with Anne at the moment. All his longing and desire overflowed.

"Y-you can't do that, Jack… I fought alone for Christian, you have no right over my son,

" replied Anne quietly, hiding her fear.

Jack smiled sinisterly.

"It's your fault that you didn't me about Christian's presence from the beginning. Even for Christian to lose his twin brother is your fault that ...

"

Slap!

Anne lifted her hands to his face with a vengeance and pushed him away from her.

"Have you forgotten everything you did to me at that time, Jack? Did you forget that you accused me without asking me first? Did you forget that you kicked me out of the house? Did you forget that you were the one who forced me to leave the house and gone from your life at that time? You didn't even want to breathe the same air as me because I'm a lowly woman. Then why are you acting like someone who has received injustice when clearly you are the most guilty person here? You didn't even apologize to me for all that you did that time, then why are you here, trying to snatch my son away from me? You are truly a human who has no shame, Jack! And one more thing you must know, Christian wouldn't lose his twin if that time you weren't so rude and rough to me. You should have reflected on all your mistakes back then instead of blaming me! If only at that time you could think clearly and calmly without emotions like that maybe right now Christian's brother was still around and growing healthy like him, so stop blaming me!

" said Anne at length in a loud voice. Her breath was ragged after pouring out all the feelings in her heart that she had kept to herself for years.

Jack was silent when he heard Anne's words, not a single word escaped his lips at this time.

"I have sacrificed a lot for our relationship, Jack, but you didn't. So now I beg you, please leave me and my son, let us live happily. I will not demand anything from you, I will not ask for a penny of the money you have to raise Christian,

" added Anne back with teary eyes.

Jack smiled sarcastically as soon as Anne finished her words. He slowly returned to her body towards Anne.

"Okay, if that's what you want, then we'll just use the law. I'm sure the power of the law is greater to show who has the right to take care of Christian.

"

"Jack!!!

"

"Hush! Don't scream, honey, I'm still in front of you. I'm sure you're a smart woman, Anne. I'll give you 24 hours to think from now on. If you don't want to work this out with me, then don't blame me if you can't see Christian again. You must know that I will win this case in court. One thing you must remember is, whatever I want, I will definitely get it, including getting you back. Whether you're happy or not, you and Christian will come back to me. Remember that, honey.

"

Jack gave a kiss at the end of his words on Anne's forehead before he finally left Anne's house with Erick and Nicholas who had not spoken a word the whole time.
