Jack decided not to return to the office. His business with Benjamin Calum who tried to deceive him with the disputed land in Melboune would be resolved by his assistants and Aaron, who was assisted by Alice. What he wanted to do right now was to bring Anne home. How could he be calm and let the gossip about Anne being the future wife of the new UN secretary general continue to spread? Damn! Anne belonged to him alone.

Along the way home, there was no conversation between Anne and Jack. Both of them were lost in their own thoughts. Jack was busy with his cell phone. He asked his men to take care of Anne's photos that had already been circulated and asked to share their wedding photos with Christian. Jack wanted to break the cheap gossip with the fact that Anne was his wife. Even the first uploader of the photos of Anne and Chester Lloyd has also uploaded an apology on the same social media account that he used to upload photos of Anne.

The journey to the mansion seemed very long for Jack. He couldn't wait to talk one-on-one with Anne. Although now the gossip was over, Jack still had to solve the problem with Anne. Jack must know how Anne met Chester Lloyd, the widower, in the first place. Thinking about the status of Chester Lloyd who had just left by his wife made Jack even more afraid. He really couldn't lose Anne.

"Welcome sir...

"

"Take Christian to his room, Luis. I want to talk to my wife about something important.

" Jack immediately cut off Luis' words quickly.

Luis nodded his head quickly and immediately grabbed Christian from Anne's arms. Christian's cheeks were still wet with tears. Even though he slept in his mother's arms while in the car, Christian still had tears in his eyes and that was what made Anne not let go of his arms.

As soon as Christian was brought by Luis, Jack quickly grabbed Anne's hand.

"Follow me.

"

"Jack, it hurts. Anyway, I can walk on my own.

"

Jack didn't care about Anne's words. What he wanted right now was to come to the park and tell Anne all his worries. Anne could only surrender. She let Jack pulled her to the park which was next to the cage of her two favorite white Siberian tigers, who were currently sleeping near their pool of water.

"Okay, quick, tell me what you want to talk to me about,

" said Anne loudly when they arrived at the park. Anne immediately held her hand which had just been tightly gripped by her husband.

Jack looked at Anne intently from head to toe. His wife was really perfect even though she wasn't wearing heavy make-up at the moment.

"Tell me how you met Chester at the mall.

"

Anne took a deep breath.

"Didn't the assistant at the clothing store explain everything that happened to you earlier? Should I repeat what she said?

"

"Sure, I want to hear it directly from you.

"

"Come on, Jack, don't be like a child. You're being very childish.

"

Jack immediately raised one eyebrow up.

"So childish you say!! Then how should I behave? Should I just be quiet when I saw my wife being rumored to be Chester Lloyd's future wife, the man who had just been appointed secretary general of the new United Nations? Is that what you want?

"

"Oh my God, I don't know how to deal with you, Jack. You and your jealousy are unreasonable,

" said Anne quickly.

"It's unreasonable you say? Then what makes sense, Anne? Should I congratulate you?

"

Anne shook her head slowly. She then turned her body and chose to leave Jack. She didn't want to talk to Jack when the man was in an unreasonable rage. But just as she stepped out, Jack had grabbed Anne's hand and made her unable to continue walking.

"We're not done, Anne, don't go,

" said Jack threateningly.

Anne turned and faced Jack again.

"How are we going to work this out if you keep talking nonsense like that, Jack?

"

"I don't want to lose you, Anne. I'll go crazy if you leave me,

" Jack answered softly in a trembling voice.

Anne smiled, her hand moving to Jack's face and caressing it gently.

"Who wants to go, hm?

"

Jack immediately grabbed Anne's hand which was still on his cheek. He immediately grabbed Anne's hand and kissed it gently.

"I almost fainted when I read the caption on the photo. I felt so weak that it was as if my whole body has no bones, Anne.

"

Anne chuckled.

"Don't overdo it. You're not a teenager who can be blindly jealous for no apparent reason just because of a photo. Haven't you learned what happened three years ago? You're mad at me for a fake photo.

"

Jack's face immediately turned red when he was reminded of what had happened three years ago.

"Anne....

"

Smack!

Jack didn't continue because Anne landed a peck on his lips in no time. No, Jack wants more.

"Of all the people I know, you are the longest to know who I am. So why are you still doubting me, Jack?

"

"I'm not doubting you, I'm just...

"

"It's the same, Jack. That means you don't believe me. Do you really think I'm a crazy woman who can mess with promises in front of the altar by liking other men while I'm still married? I'm not that kind of person, Jack. Although I only knew my mother for a short time, my mother had taught me a lot of lessons, from her loyalty to my father to her patience with the trials that came our way. I don't come from a rich family, but I've experienced many things that weren't taught at school since childhood. So please, throw away all your bad thoughts. I'm not that kind of woman, Jack, especially now that we have Christian. If I really didn't want this relationship to continue, I would have left you from the start. Christian is not my main reason to return to you after everything you've done to me before. You are the reason I came back, Jack. Don't you realize that? Hmm ...?

"

"I-I'm the reason you came back?

"

"Yeah, who else could it be? I could have run away if I wanted to, I had plenty of opportunities to run away from you while I was in Aberdeen. But I didn't do that, did I? That's because I chose to start all over with you from scratch. Don't you realize that?

"

Jack shook his head slowly. He still couldn't open his lips after hearing Anne's words. Jack still couldn't believe that Anne returned to him because of him, not because of Christian as he had thought.

"I still don't understand what you just said, Anne,

" Jack said honestly.

Anne smiled. She slowly felt Jack's eyes that were already looking at her warmly.

"I decided to return to you because I couldn't let a crazy man like you live alone raising a handsome child that I gave birth to and raised with tears and blood. I decided to return to you because I still want to feel your incredible love and...

"

" And??

"

"And please don't cry in front of other people on your knees again. It really isn't you at all, Jack.

"

"Crying, kneeling...

"

Thump!

"Yes, I know it all. I know everything you've done,

" answered Anne quickly interrupting Jack's words with a meaningful smile.
