I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Anne took a deep breath to let out her annoyance after what Jack had done to her this morning. Jack who was enjoying his breakfast pretended not to hear what Anne did.

This morning, after Anne asked for instant noodles, Jack gave a short lecture about the dangers of consuming instant food like that, even while Anne was enjoying the cake that Jack took from the pantry. Anne had to let her ears listened to all the things she didn't want to hear from Jack. As if he wasn't satisfied with forbidding her to eat instant noodles, Jack also advised Anne at length for almost an hour. At this time, in the dining room the air was cold due to Anne's attitude. It made none of the maids dare to lift their faces and tried to keep their distance from the dining table. Except for April, Christian's nanny, who was helping Christian to eat, no one else dared to approach the husband and wife.

"Today I have a meeting until late at night. I hope you don't miss me," said Jack quietly, confidently teasing Anne who was just messing with her food without intending to eat it.

Anne lifted her head and looked at Jack with a murderous look. "As long as Christian is by my side, I don't think I need you."

"Oh, Christian, I almost forgot. I brought him to the office today. I have to introduce my son in front of everyone in the office, so they'll know who the successor of my company is."

"What? What? You want to take Christian? Don't be crazy Jack, he's not going anywhere. Christian will be with me at home."

Jack wiped his lips with a napkin and smiled at Christian. "Son, tell Mommy that today you're going with Daddy to the office."

"Baby..."

"Yes, Mommy! Today I will accompany Daddy to the office." Christian immediately cut Anne's words quickly.

"Why? What do you want to do at the office, baby?"

Christian chuckled. "I wanted to get on the helicopter this morning with Daddy."

"Helicopter? What helicopter?" asked Anne again, very confused.

Jack smiled. He then got up from his chair and approached the baby chair where Christian was sitting. Jack carefully lifted Christian from his chair and held him tightly before finally standing up to look at Anne who still looked confused by what Jack said earlier.

"I'm going to the office by helicopter with Christian," Jack replied quietly.

"Yeah, but..."

"Mommy, I want to go with Daddy!" Christian immediately interrupted Anne's words.

Because Christian inherited Jack's stubbornness, Anne finally couldn't persuade her son to stay at home. She could only surrender when she saw Jack took Christian away to the helipad in the middle of the garden. Christian looked very enthusiastic, he repeatedly waved his hand at his mother, to which Anne responded with a wave too. As soon as Jack, who was carrying Christian, boarded, Nicholas immediately closed the back door. He then climbed into the passenger seat beside Erick who would be their pilot this time. Soon, the large black helicopter flew smoothly and then left the Mansion for the office. Anne took a deep breath as she watched the helicopter carrying her husband and son fly away.

Because Anne raised Christian in a simple life, as a result the child couldn't enjoy the luxury that Jack currently provided. Actually, when Jack said he wanted to take Christian to the office by helicopter, Anne didn't completely forbid it. She was only afraid that Christian's presence in the office would make it difficult for Jack, but because the man insisted on bringing Christian, she finally couldn't stop him anymore, especially since Christian looked very excited when he saw the helicopter that would take him away was ready.

After the helicopter carrying Jack and Christian was gone, she finally entered the house. She wanted to fulfill her desire to cook instant noodles.

The arrival of the CEO with his heir made the office in excitement. The female staff immediately surrounded Jack to see the young master, who looked very happy to see so many people greeted him. Christian, who was actually completely afraid of strangers, this time actually smiled at the many people who approached him. He felt safe in his father's arms. That was why he just laughed whenever someone wanted to meet him. Jack restricted their touched to Christian. The staff in the office could only touch Christian's hands without being allowed to caress or pinch Christian's cheeks. He didn't want Christian's cheeks to be touched by many people.

After introducing Christian to the staff, Jack then brought the boy into his room, where there were now some toys for the boy that his personal secretary, Giselle, had prepared.

"Oh God, so it's Prince Clarke who made the staff excited just a moment ago," Giselle said loudly, as she tried to approach Christian who was being hugged by Jack.

Just as Giselle was about to touch him, Christian suddenly hid his face in his father's chest. The boy seemed to be avoiding contact with his father's secretary. Giselle was stunned when she was being rejected by Christian. She couldn't believe the boy had rejected her. Christian's rejection of Giselle made Erick and Nicholas chuckle. Both of Jack's assistants looked very satisfied to see Giselle's frowning face because Christian rejected her.

Jack, who had to work immediately, then rushed to his chair, leaving Giselle who was still frozen in front of the door of his room. Because the master had entered the room, Erick and Nicholas immediately followed after Giselle, who didn't say anything.

"Ask everyone for a meeting, I want to discuss something important that I missed the last five days," Jack said quietly as he opened his laptop.

"Yes sir."

"Do you need me to babysit the little young master, sir?" Nicholas asked suddenly.

Jack smiled. "Don't worry. Christian will come with me. He should know how his father works, so it's okay if I take him to the meeting room."

Nicholas nodded his head quickly. "Yes sir, I understand."

Jack then grabbed the top of Christian's head and kissed him gently. He was really proud to show his son to everyone. The facial resemblance between Jack and Christian immediately convinced everyone that the child being carried by the master was his son. Moreover, Christian inherited Jack's blue eyes, which were as clear as the ocean, when in fact, Christian could have inherited the beauty of the spectrum of his mother's eyes. But apparently, his father's genes were too strong in his body, so that almost 90% of his appearance was inherited from his father.

After all the staffs were ready in the meeting room, Jack then took Christian to the room with Erick and Nicholas. Christian's presence in the meeting room had surprised people, including Giselle. She intended to take Christian from Jack's arms. But Jack curtly refused.

"If all of you are bothered by the presence of my son, then please leave this company right now, because I don't need such a person. Trust me, I will easily find a replacement for you who are much more competent," said Jack quietly as he sat in his oversized chair while still holding his son on his lap. 

Suddenly, Jack's words made everyone in the room instantly fall silent, only Erick and Nicholas smiled. They were both very satisfied to see the frightened faces of the knowing managers. Under the table, Giselle's fists were clenched tightly. The beautiful secretary tried to suppress her emotions.
