Love Worth Fighting For

104 Back to Luxembourgh

Because Christian so vehemently refuses her help, Elena finally relents. Elena agreed to be escorted home. The pilot’s notification that the plane is about to take off makes Christian sit back in his seat and immediately buckles up, as soon as Christian finishes finding the best position, the black plane slowly takes off from Geneva to Luxembourg where Christian has found peace for years.

Even though Christian says that he is fine, Elena knows that her boyfriend is not in that good condition right now. Even though it was the first time she met Christian’s parents, Elena could already feel that Jack and Marianne Clarke were not easy people, the words Jack said when Christian introduced herself as Christian future wife to Suri made Elena feel scared and nervous at this time. Elena, who is starting to have special feelings for Christian, is afraid that her relationship is not approved by Christian’s parents, even though before that Elena had imagined some of the worst things that would happen if she went with Christian to the party, but Elena still couldn’t believe that something this bad would happen. Seeing how Jack warned Christian not to talk carelessly made her fear even bigger than before.

****

Clarke’s Mansion. 1.30 AM.

After Christian came and left suddenly, the situation at Suri’s party was not conducive. Some people started whispering, talking about the debate that was going on between Jack and Christian.

Even though they don’t know what really happened, they guess that there has been an argument between father and son that makes Christian who just came with a mysterious girl by his side, immediately leave not long after Suri blew out her birthday candles.

Things returned to normal after Nicholas and Erick spoke and explained that Christian had come so quickly because he still had some important business to attend to that night, even though what Erick and Nicholas said sounded far-fetched but it was the only way. to drown out all the commotion. And not long after Nicholas and Erick explained the party resumed normally without any problems, they believed that Christian should take care of other matters considering how busy Christian Clarke has been.

“What? They’re back in Luxembourg? How come?” Jack immediately responded to Erick’s report with emotion. “Christian hasn’t given me any explanation about the girl.”

“Jack ..”

.....

“No Anne, you don’t defend him. That kid has really gone too far, his self-indulgent attitude can’t be tolerated anymore,” said Jack full of emotion. “Christian can’t just come and make a mess at Suri’s birthday party by saying that he already has a future wife that we’ve never even known before, that kid is really unruly. I’m really disappointed in him.”

Realizing that her parents were arguing because of her brother, Suri, who had been holding herself back from going to the room, slowly approached her fiery father. Suri’s two soft hands managed to cool the anger that welled up inside Jack.

“You must not have any bad intentions, Dad. Daddy don’t be angry with him, who knows if what you said was just a joke, right?” said Suri softly.

“Honey...”

“Tomorrow morning, we can ask Christian again. If you really have to go back to Luxembourg tonight, it means that he’s really busy. I saw for myself how Christian never stopped taking care of his work while accompanying me to Japan to eat sushi after he brought me home from Auckland. Brother is very busy, Dad.” Suri spoke softly again, trying to temper her father’s emotions by telling how professional a Christian is even when he’s not in the office.

Jack was silent even though Suri didn’t talk like that, he also knew how workaholic his proud son was. Christian who is such a perfectionist will not stop if he has not solved a problem.

Suri pursed her lips. “Besides, I’m very happy to see Christian coming, I’m pretty sure he must have left his very important business to attend my birthday this time, Dad. Especially yesterday he was still in Paris to take care of the Clarke house of Jewel collaboration with one of the jewelry designers. most famous in Paris who will be releasing a new collection for next season, he is so tired. His eyes show that.”

“So Christian just got back from Paris?” asked Anne, joining in.

“Yes Mom, yesterday when I called him to confirm his arrival to my birthday party and at that time he received my call when he just returned from his new business partner’s place at three in the morning,” answered Suri honestly. “I’m really very happy my brother could come to my birthday party, he must have taken the time to come to Geneva this time.”

The words that just came out of Suri’s lips immediately made Anne’s chest feel tight, her regret getting bigger. She should have been a comfort to Christian who was so exhausted this afternoon, not a slap. Unable to contain her immense guilt, Anne finally started crying again and it made Jack hug her tightly.

“Don’t cry, Anne. I’ll talk to her tomorrow morning, when things are calmer,” Jack said in a half-whisper, trying to calm Anne.

Anne nodded quickly in tears, Anne was really so sorry and felt guilty for what she had done this afternoon to Christian.

From where Suri stood, she could only see her parents hugging like that, her determination to reconcile her brother and her parents was getting bigger now.

“If because of me three years ago laughter disappeared from this house, then now it’s my turn to return the warmth and love of this house back,” said Suri in her heart with teary eyes.

Asher, who was standing against the wall, couldn’t help but stare at what was going on. Asher, who was still confused about why Christian hated him so much, couldn’t do anything. His adoptive father’s ban on him doing nothing makes Asher seem unconcerned about Christian. Although it has not been proven, Asher is absolutely sure that someone has deliberately made his relationship with Christian heat up. And that’s what Asher was doing right now, moving silently to find out who was behind the chaos that made his adopted brother hate him so much.
