Chapter 640 - [Bonus ]A Dozen
It looks like Jack really kept his promise. In less than six hours he was already back and forth Luxembourg-Switzerland and Swiss-Luxembourg. Luckily, the distance between Luxembourg and Switzerland was not too far, so Jack could quickly return home to check on Anne who was very moody.
Luis, who knew that Jack had returned to Switzerland, was very surprised when he saw that his master was back at home.
"You're seriously home again, sir?" said Luis surprised when he saw Jack get out of one of his favorite cars.
Jack took off the jacket that he wore. "That's what a jet plane does, Luis," Jack answered flatly as he walked past Luis into the house to find Anne who was still on the balcony.
Luis smiled when he saw Jack running up the stairs to enter the house. The current Jack was very different from the Jack a few years ago. Although he still needed to be reminded, Jack was much more mature than the Jack that Luis used to know, the Jack who had a temper and never thought twice about his actions.
"Grandpa, is it Daddy who just arrived?" asked Christian who had just arrived with Noah.
"Yeah, that's Daddy," Luis replied softly as he grabbed Christian into his arms.
"Is this Daddy's new car?"
Louis shook his head. "No, it's an old car. Daddy's got tons of nice cars in the basement. Would you want to see them?"
"Sure, Grandpa, sure," Christian screamed excitedly.
Louis chuckled. "Okay, okay... Let's go to the underground garage, but after that you have to eat, okay?"
"Okay, Grandpa," Christian replied quickly.
Luis' laughter was getting louder. Christian's presence didn't only bring happiness to Jack. Luis also felt the perfection of his life since Christian's presence, the loss of his wife and daughter decades ago made Luis now really love Christian. The reason was that if his daughter was still alive at this time, maybe his daughter would also have a child around Christian age. That was why Luis considered Christian as his own grandson. Anne and Jack didn't even mind if Christian called him grandpa, because Christian didn't have a grandfather.
When Christian arrived at his father's underground garage, he immediately shouted loudly when he saw his father's collection of luxury cars that had been neatly arranged. Dozens of expensive cars of various brands and types were seen parked proudly in the area. Even though they were not used, the maintenance of the cars was very well cared for, so it was no wonder that when Jack wanted to use one of them, he didn't have any trouble.
"Can I ride the red one, Grandpa?" Christian asked, pointing to a Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Vitesse which was valued at US$1.7 million, one of Jack's most expensive cars bought only three months before Anne and Christian's arrival to Luxembourg.
"Of course you can, let alone a car, you can asked for a plane, Daddy will definitely buy it for you," Luis replied softly while stroking Christian's thick hair. Christian's taste seemed to have been from his father.
Christian immediately shouted with joy when he heard Luis' words. The child was very happy even though he didn't have his plane yet. But one thing Christian knew was that his grandfather would not lie to him, because all this time, whatever Christian has asked Luis, he always makes it happen, including today when he was asked to dress up like a woman when playing mafia and raising rabbits.
After being satisfied with looking at the collection of expensive cars belonging to Christian's father and then being invited back up to be fed, it was time for Christian to eat and take a nap. With Christian's currently clinging to Luis bringing its own blessing to Anne who was so nauseated. She was really helpless this time. While in the past when she was pregnant with Christian, Anne had never had any difficulties nor did she bother anyone. Never mind vomiting, she didn't even feel dizzy nor moody. She really didn't look like she was pregnant, except that her stomach was getting bigger and there hadn't been much change in Anne from three years ago. But now with her second pregnancy, Anne was really helpless. She was made unable to eat anything by her baby. Never mind eating, sometimes just drinking could make her throw up if she was not really thirsty. That was why two maids were always beside Anne to attend to her every need or help her do anything she couldn't do on her own.
"Has my wife had lunch?" Jack asked quietly to a maid who had just come from the kitchen with a bowl of warm water.
The maid shook her head quickly. "Never mind lunch, sir. Madam even vomited the breakfast she ate."
Jack smiled wryly. "Okay, I understand. Well then you can go, let me serve my wife. Oh yeah, what is this water for?"
"Madam asked to compress her waist, sir."
"Okay, let me do it. You two get some rest."
The two maids nodded politely and then left in front of Jack to rest. Jack himself immediately approached Anne with the warm water that Anne had asked for.
"Straight to my back, okay," said Anne quietly without opening her eyes when she heard someone was sitting beside her.
Jack smiled and didn't open his mouth. He just did what Anne told him to do. Jack carefully removed the clothes that Anne was wearing and began to compress Anne's back waist, both of Jack's eyes filled with tears when he saw Anne's stomach which was still flat.
"That's enough, now on to my calves," said Anne again.
Without being ordered twice, Jack then compressed the wife's calf and massaged it gently.
"Is this comfortable enough for you, babe?" Jack asked softly.
Hearing Jack's voice, Anne's eyes opened wide. "Y-you, how long have you been here?" Anne shrieked loudly as she pulled her leg from Jack's lap.
"Since you asked me to massage your waist earlier," Jack replied with a smile.
Anne's eyes immediately filled with tears and it made Jack panic. "Don't cry, babe. I'm home."
"Where are you from?"
"Office, I have important business to attend to. Sorry for not saying goodbye this morning."
Anne glared at Jack. "You didn't meet Giselle did you?'
Jack chuckled "Why did I meet her? I don't have anything to do with her anymore. After all, our relationship is purely a working relationship babe. Nothing more, so you don't have to worry."
"Really, you're not lying, are you?"
"How could I lie? I already have a very perfect and extraordinary wife, why am I looking for another woman? Remember, Anne, you're the only woman I've loved since seven years ago, you don't need me to remind you all the time right?"
Anne shook her head without speaking. Seeing Anne's response made Jack smile. Slowly, Jack moved his hand to touch Anne's flat stomach. .
"Is he causing you a hard time today?" he asked softly, lowering his face to kiss Anne flat stomach.
"No, he's been nice. I only threw up a few times," Anne lied.
"Really, good girl..."
"Good boy, Jack. He's a boy," said Anne quickly cutting off Jack's words when he called his baby a good girl.
Jack immediately lifted his face from Anne's stomach even though he hadn't had a chance to kiss her yet. "You want another boy?"
"Yes, I do. I want two bodyguards who will always be beside me. Take care of me and protect me when his father started to do nonsensical things," she answered quickly.
Jack frowned." What do you mean?"
"Nothing, it's just that I'd prefer it if this child is a boy like Christian. So Christian will not be lonely and have friends to play with. If this child is a girl, Christian will definitely come back whining and asking me to give him another brother," answered Anne quietly as she reached for a glass filled with water and real lemon juice without any additives. Without tasting the acid, Anne immediately drank it down even though it was very sour.
"If we have a dozen children, I'm ready, Anne. My wealth will not run out to raise them. They can even live comfortably and comfortably. So don't worry," said Jack quickly. He felt a little displeased with Anne's words.
Anne put her glass on the table again and immediately turned to Jack. "You want to have a dozen children?"
Jack nodded his head quickly. "Yes, why not."
"Well then, you'll be the one who is pregnant and giving birth by yourself," said Anne quietly without guilt.
"Babe, come on, I'm serious."
Anne smiled. "I'm serious too, if you want to have a dozen children, why don't you get pregnant and giving birth to them yourself?"
"But we have a lot of wealth, Anne, we can afford to raise them and make the dozen children happy," said Jack back excitedly.
"Yes, but I'm the problem, I don't want to give birth to that many children. Do you really think I'm a cat that can give birth to that many children and ..." Barf!
Anne's words stopped when she suddenly threw up her stomach's content which was only water and for the umpteenth time, Anne threw up on Jack's body. Jack who was not disgusted even let Anne threw up and massaged Anne's nape.
"Come on, let it all out," said Jack quietly.
