117 For Christian

“Elena my future wife.”

“Is she the girl you brought on Suri’s birthday yesterday?” Jack asked quietly, his eyes immediately falling on Elena who was bowing her head.

Christian nods confidently. “Yeah, she’s the girl I brought to Suri’s birthday yesterday.”

Jack, who is not satisfied with Christian’s answer, still hasn’t taken his eyes off Elena. As a parent, Jack wants to make sure that the girl his son chooses is the girl who has a good attitude. A girl who wouldn’t make her family name bad.

Feeling uncomfortable with his father’s gaze on Elena, Christian then pulled Elena, hiding her behind his large body, breaking his father’s eye contact with Elena.

Jack shook his head slowly. “Relax, Christ. Daddy doesn’t want to hurt her, you don’t have to do that?”

“Oh yeah? Did Daddy forget the wound on my forehead?” Christian quips sarcastically.

“Christ.” Elena immediately squeezed Christian’s back spontaneously.

Not only was Elena taken aback, Jack fell silent when Christian brought up the big mistake he had made three years ago. All the sentences that had been neatly arranged in his head instantly disappeared.

.....

And Christian looks happy to see his father can’t speak, even though Christian has absolutely no intention of bringing up the events that have passed long ago. Christian’s only goal is to stop his father from interrogating Elena further, Christian knows that Elena is not ready to answer the questions that come from his parents.

“If there’s nothing else to talk about, Elena and I will look for a room to spend the night tonight, excuse me,” Christian said again as he took Elena away from his father and his two assistants. Elena, who is in a difficult position, can only surrender when Christian pulls her away from her father’s presence. Elena is too scared to stand up to the exploding Christian.

Together with Kainer, Christian and Elena look for a room not far from Suri’s treatment room to spend the night. An hour ago when Suri was taken to the hospital, Jack immediately instructed that one floor be vacated. That’s why at this time they have no trouble finding a room to spend the night, Christian who knows Elena has an excessive fear of hospitals looking for a room that is right in front of Suri’s treatment room.

Even though the room in front of Suri’s treatment room will be the noisiest room, it gives a plus for Elena who is afraid of ghosts in the hospital. Christian thinks that if Elena sleeps in that room then her fear will be reduced and Christian’s choice is right because Elena immediately smiled broadly when she found out that Christian’s chosen room was in front of Suri’s treatment room.

“Clean yourself up, then sleep,” Christian said softly as he handed over a small bag containing Elena’s personal equipment that Kainer had previously brought.

Elena doesn’t immediately accept the bag given by Christian, she looks doubtful. And Christian manages to read Elena’s fear, with a wide smile Christian puts the bag in his hand into Elena’s lap. “I’m not going, I’ll wait for you to finish bathing, Elena.”

“Is that true?” Elena’s eyes immediately opened wide.

Christian chuckles amused, his guess is correct. It turned out that Elena was afraid of being abandoned by him. “Yeah, I’m not going. I’ll wait for you to finish showering here, but if you want I can come into the bathroom and we shower together.”

Elena’s admiration for Christian disappeared instantly, Elena went straight into the bathroom while carrying a bag on her lap half-running and it immediately made Christian laugh out loud. The timid Elena was really fun to keep teasing. Not wanting to make Elena angry, Christian then sat near the sofa bed that would be his and Elena’s bed tonight. Christian is not aware that at this time his mother has been standing at the door for ten minutes, just as the two of them entered the room. Anne hears and sees everything Christian and Elena are doing. In silence, Anne praised Elena’s beauty, which was so natural and simple, Elena’s appearance reminded Anne of herself decades ago when she had nothing after her father’s death.

Anne’s thoughts were interrupted when Jack arrived.

“What are you...”

“Shhh..” Anne immediately put one finger in front of her mouth, preventing Jack from speaking.

Jack, who didn’t understand what Anne meant, immediately turned to the left and was silent when he saw Christian who was focusing on his smart tablet on the sofa. The guilt hit Jack again when he saw how hard his son worked.

“Follow me,” said Anne quietly. “There’s something I want to talk to you about.”

Jack nodded slowly, without arguing. Jack followed Anne’s footsteps towards the end of the quiet room.

“Is the girl Christian brought with him today the same girl Christian brought on Suri’s birthday?” asked Anne straight to the point.

Jack nodded slowly. “Yeah, she’s the same girl. And Christian still introduces her as his future wife to me.”

“Have you spoken to him?”

Jack pursed his lips. “Not yet.”

“Why?” asked Anne, surprised, Jack is a person who is very curious about those who are close to his two children. Even from the beginning of Suri’s entry into high school, Jack became the first person to know all of her classmates.

“Christian brought up the wound on his head, babe,” Jack replies hoarsely. “Being raised again about the stupidity I’ve done at that time made me not dare to speak... looks like Christian really hasn’t forgiven me until now, Anne.”

Anne shook her head quickly. “No Jack, don’t talk like that. Christian can’t be like that, he’s a sweet and kind boy, Jack.”

“I can feel so much hatred from Christian, Anne. From the way he looks and talks to me everything is so clear, his hatred for me is still so strong,” Jack stammered. “If I could go back to that time, I would definitely do it, Anne. I will definitely do it...”

Anne, who couldn’t bear to see Jack again tormented by guilt, immediately gave him a tight hug, as a place for Jack to share his sadness, Anne knew how great it was. Jack’s regret that day after hurting Christian.

“Christian must be very disappointed in me, Anne. To a father who has neglected him since he was a child, to a father who he thinks doesn’t care about him, to a father who prefers to defend other people over himself...”

“Shhh...don’t talk like that again,” said Anne quickly with a trembling voice holding back tears. “I’m sure one day Christian will understand everything, Christian is just a little tough like you. So what we need to do now is be patient, we can’t use violence against him. The harder we oppose Christian’s wishes, the harder it is to resist.”

“Including the girl?”

Anne nodded slowly. “Yes, including in his decision to choose his personal secretary to be his future wife.”

Jack immediately let go of Anne’s arms. “Wait, so that girl named Elena is Christian’s secretary?”
