Chapter 480 - Back To England
Even though she already had Alan's super powerful credit card, but Anne was still not interested in shopping. There was not the slightest desire to go shopping.
"What are you doing, Anne? Ever since Master left for work, you look sad."
Anne smiled. She slowly took out the two magic cards that Alan had given her and placed them on the table.
"This..."
"Alan's Amex Black Card that he handed over to me before leaving for work," said Anne, quietly cutting Alice off.
"Master really loves you, Anne, this is the most expensive credit card that will allow the owner to shop anywhere comfortably," said Alice without pause, admiring the Amex Black Card that Anne showed.
Anne took a deep breath. "I don't want this, Alice. I miss my normal life in England, without any escorts, without many pairs of eyes watching me. It feels so good to be able to do whatever you want without anyone stopping me. And I miss Linda too. I am very worried that I have lived here for almost two months, Alice, and to be honest I am very tired of my daily routine here."
Alice was silent. She knew Anne was a rare and different type of woman. Anne was not too dazzled by wealth and luxury, so it was only natural that she was bored at the moment. Always being served and not allowed to do anything were really two things that make Anne very tormented.
"Lucky to have you by my side at the moment, otherwise I might have really gone crazy," said Anne again, looking down.
"Then what do you want to do now, Anne?"
Anne raised her head slowly and looked at Alice sadly. "I want to go back to London, and see Linda."
"But it seems that your wish will be difficult to come true, Anne. You do know that Master is very possessive of you. It seems impossible if you leave this country and return to England without Master's knowledge."
"I know... that bastard won't let me go at all," said Anne curtly, remembering what had happened a few hours ago when Alan touched her for almost an hour, before Alan finally let go of himself after Nicholas kept calling him.
Alice chuckled. She knew exactly how Anne was feeling right now. "That's because Master loves you very much and wants to have a child with you soon, Anne."
"Child?"
"Yes, a child. Mr. Jack had mentioned about having children at that time with old Mr. Clarke and I overheard it while crossing their study on my way to the park to catch up with you, when you were reading a book there," Alice answered quickly, remembering the events of the past few days.
Anne bit her lower lip anxiously. "I don't want that, Alice. Before Jack's memory returned, I don't want to get pregnant. He must return to Jack first, Alice, even though Jack and Alan are one person, but I love Jack. Jack with all his tenderness and kindness."
Alice took a deep breath. She then grabbed Anne and hugged her tightly to strengthen her. From inside the house, Mr. David Clarke smiled as he watched what Alice did to Anne. He was grateful that his granddaughter-in-law had a friend to share her complaints with.
"Looks like Anne is getting tired of living here, Luis," said Mr. David Clarke quietly.
"What do you mean, sir?"
"This morning, I overheard Alan mentioning and giving his Amex Black Card to Anne. I'm pretty sure Alan asked Anne to go shopping, use his money like the women he was close to before. But as I can see, my granddaughter-in-law is instead sitting pretty in the garden with Alice. I'm sure it's not the Amex Black Card she wants right now," answered Mr. David Clarke softly. "Anne is different from the girls out there who are dazzled by money, Luis."
"Yes sir, you are right. Miss Anne is not tempted by money and maybe that's what made the young master fall in love with her."
Mr. David Clarke smiled broadly at Luis' words. Suddenly, his eyes widened when he managed to come up with an idea that he was sure could please his beloved granddaughter-in-law. "Take me to where Anne is now, Luis."
"Yes, sir."
Luis obediently then pushed the master's wheelchair into the garden where Anne and Alice were. Alice, who was wiping Anne's tears, was surprised when she saw David Clarke suddenly appear behind them.
"Big master .."
"It's okay, Alice, I'll sit here for a while," said David Clarke, cutting off Alice's words who wanted to greet him.
Realizing the presence of the grandfather, Anne immediately wiped away the remaining tears that were still streaming down her face quickly.
"Grandpa..."
Anne's words stopped when suddenly Mr. David Clarke touched her hand.
"What's wrong, Anne? Consider me as your grandfather and tell me, don't hesitate."
"I'm fine, Grandpa, I'm fine," replied Anne lying.
Mr. David Clarke smiled wryly. "Are you tired of being in this house?"
Anne's voice was caught in her throat when she heard the old man's words, she could not speak. It was very hard for Anne's lips to move at the moment. She didn't want to make this kind old man in front of her sad. That was why she had kept her sadness to herself. Instead of replying her grandfather's question, Anne lowered her face to avoid eye contact with the man.
"You don't have to answer, I know. Well then, prepare yourself, we'll go to England. I'm sure you miss your friends there, right?"
Anne immediately raised her face for a moment. "W-what do you mean, Grandpa?"
Mr. David Clarke chuckled. "I have been young once, Anne, I know how a young girl feels when she is locked up in the house for days."
Immediately, Anne's eyes filled with tears. She was almost crying right now because of her grandfather's unexpected words.
"But Jack... how about Alan? He must be angry when he couldn't find me, Grandpa," said Anne in frustration. Her hopes immediately vanished when she remembered the figure of her husband who was very possessive of her.
"That's why I'm coming with you, he won't be angry if you are with me, Anne. So it's safe, you can be free from him for a moment and..."
Mr. David Clarke could not finish his words when suddenly Anne jumped into his lap and was sitting on Mr. David Clarke's lap. Luis almost screamed when he saw the wheelchair in which Mr. David Clarke was sitting on was about to fall backwards when Anne jumped on his lap. And it wasn't just Luis who was surprised, Alice was also surprised. She didn't expect Anne to do something like that.
"Thank you, Grandpa, thank you. I'm so happy, I'm really happy," said Anne happily with tears flowing down her cheeks.
Mr. David Clarke patted Anne on the back. He felt very happy to be treated like that by Anne.
"Isn't this one of my duties as your grandfather?" he said quietly asking Anne in a half whisper.
Anne removed her arms from Mr. David Clarke and immediately kissed the old man's cheek quickly. "Grandpa, you're the best! Okay then, I'll get ready now. Linda will be surprised to see me later. Come on, Alice, let's get ready."
"Oh yes," Alice stammered.
A second later, Anne immediately ran towards the house, followed by Alice, who seemed to have difficulty chasing Anne who was already running fast.
Seeing Anne's behavior made Mr. David Clarke smile with emotion. "She really is a cheerful girl."
"That's right sir, I didn't expect to see the other side of Miss Anne just now."
"You're right. Okay, let's get ready, Luis. I have to do my duty as a grandfather to please his granddaughter."
Luis smiled at the words of Mr. David Clarke. Without speaking, he then pushed Mr. David Clarke's wheelchair towards the house to get ready to go to England as the old man had promised to Anne. When Luis pushed him into the house, Mr. David Clarke was seen calling his private pilot to get ready.
'I'll take your place and make your biggest dream come true, Yolanda,' said Mr. David Clarke in his heart.
