Jack and Anne's whereabouts was completely kept secret from everyone, no strangers know about Anne and Jack's departure. Doctor Kang Yo, who returned to Korea on the same day as the couple's departure, promised to keep his mouth shut, as did Aaron and Rose, who had to go to Korea with Nicholas to replace Jack.

They really kept their mouths shut for the sake of the mental healing of the husband and wife who had repeatedly received trials and tribulations. Even Christian seemed to be aware that at the moment, his parents were taking time to heal the wounds inside them so that the handsome boy didn't cry at all when he saw his parents go by plane. Christian seemed to know that what happened to his baby sister was because of him, he was really very smart.

Just like when Jack was declared missing, Erick and Alice took over the leadership of Muller Finance International again, while Luis brought Christian back to Luxembourg, because he had to take care of Clarke Enterprise.

Everyone worked hand in hand to do the work that Jack left for an indefinite time, because from the start he decided to calm down with his wife, Jack did not discuss how long he would leave. Because of that, everyone could not help but take the job that Jack left.

Alice wiped her tears when she saw the plane carrying Luis and Christian take off. She couldn't bear to be separated from Christian.

"It's okay. We've experienced this before, Alice. You don't have to worry,

" Erick said quietly.

"But this is much sadder than what happened before, Erick. Anne is very depressed because of the loss of Princess, Christian who has to be separated from his parents and Luis who has to take care of all the work in Luxembourg. This is even more difficult, Erick.

"

"I know, but this is the best way. This is the only way to make Madam and Master move on. Believe me, what they are going through at this time is not easy. Losing a child who is very much awaited is a very difficult blow, especially they lost their baby in the approaching moments of the baby's birth. I'm sure everyone wouldn't be easy to be in their current position, Alice. So we have to be strong. I'm also very grateful that you are by my side. I don't know what to do if I have to lead Muller Finance International again alone,

" said Erick at length.

"No one in this world wants to experience the events that are being experienced by Master and Madam, Alice.

Alice lowered her head. She thought about Erick's words which were all true. Actually, what Anne and Jack were doing right now was right. They really needed some time together to calm down after everything that happened.

After feeling calmer, Erick took Alice away from the airport. They had to return to Jack's big house which they now lived in together. In a house that big now, there was no longer the sound of Jack's screams looking for Anne or the sound of Christian crying that used to be heard throughout the house.

< Newcastle Upon Tyne >

The soft opening of Janne's Coffee finally started. Several employees, who were walking past the coffee shop, stopped by to buy coffee which were on 50% discount during the promotion period. Seeing the enthusiasm of the visitors, Anne was very excited. She didn't show any tiredness when serving the customers who took turns paying for coffee orders.

Jack himself patiently served the buyers, just like before. This time Jack also didn't smile at all when the female shoppers lined up in front of him, waiting for their coffee to be brewed by the handsome barista.

"Two Caramel Macchiatos,

" Jack said quietly as he handed them two orders of coffee that he had already made.

"Thanks, but something's missing.

"

Jack raised an eyebrow.

"Missing? What is missing, Miss?

"

"Your cell phone number hihihi,

" answered the two girls who were still standing in front of Jack in unison.

Jack smiled. Slowly, he raised his left hand and showed the wedding ring around his ring finger to the two girls.

"Unfortunately now I'm married and my wife happens to be beside me at the moment,

" said Jack slowly, pointing at Anne.

The faces of the two girls immediately turned pale when Anne smiled at them. Unable to hold back the embarrassment, the two young girls hurriedly turned away from Jack, especially with the giggles of the women and several men who were queuing behind them. Seeing the two girls ran, Jack smiled and shook his head.

"Don't mind the kids, Miss, the girls are used to teasing a handsome young man like your husband,

" said a middle-aged woman to Anne.

Anne smiled.

"But my husband is not a young man, Madam. We already have three children.

"

"Wow, three kids? That's really amazing,

" said the woman again.

"But our two children did not survive,

" said Anne again with a smile.

"Jesus, I'm sorry, Miss.

"

Anne pursed her lips again.

"It's okay, Ma'am.

"

The middle-aged woman then took Anne's hand and squeezed it gently.

"Believe me, God will definitely replace you with a better one.

"

Anne nodded her head with a smile. Before long the middle-aged woman moved to Jack's side to take her order.

Anne then served other customers in a friendly manner. Because of the automatic 50% discount, by the afternoon, the day's entire coffee stock had run out completely. Anne smiled happily when she saw the money in her cashier's drawer, which was but some loose change to Jack.

"Looks like we're going to get rich quick if we keep this up, Jack,

" said Anne excitedly as she tidied up her money.

"You haven't forgotten who I am, have you, babe?

"

Anne turned to Jack with a smile that had disappeared.

"Don't start, Jack!!

"

"Hehe... sorry, Madam, sorry. I was just joking dear.

"

Anne immediately turned her gaze towards the money again and did not respond to Jack's words, which made Jack chuckle. Not wanting to get into trouble, Jack quickly hugged Anne from behind.

"I love you, Anne.

"

"Don't seduce me. I can't be seduced with words like that,

" said Anne curtly.

Jack lifted his face from Anne's back.

"Then what must I do to get you to forgive me?

"

"Give me a lot of money!

"

Hearing his wife's words, Jack quickly let go of his embrace and immediately turned Anne to face him.

"Did I hear you right, Anne?

" asked Jack surprised.

"No, tomorrow morning you'll have to work extra hard again to make my money grow. Remember, I'm your boss now, you don't want to be fired, do you?

"

Jack….
