“Are you ok, Suri?”

Suri again did not respond to Asher’s words.

Asher, who was worried because Suri kept daydreaming, then moved quickly, immediately the bespectacled man waved his hand in front of Suri’s face.

“Suri..hellooo...”

Suri immediately woke up from her daydream.

“What are you thinking about?” Asher repeated his question.

“I..I’m not thinking about anything,” replied Suri, lying because in reality Suri was so disturbed because of Areez’s words earlier.

Asher smiled slightly. “We grew up together, Suri. You can’t lie to me.”

Suri was annoyed. “That sucks, how unfair!!”

.....

“Ok ok..now tell me, what is bothering your mind right now.”

“Daddy, why did Daddy take so long? What is Daddy really doing in Luxembourg right now? Christian isn’t in any trouble, is he?” Suri changed the subject by asking about her father who didn’t come back after being away for days.

Asher wiped his lips with a handkerchief. “Uncle and Christian are taking care of some business that needs to be done together at the moment.”

“Can’t Christian solve the problem on his own that Daddy has to come help him?” asked Suri worriedly.

“Christian is a great person, there’s no way he can’t solve his own problems,” Asher answered honestly.

“Then why did Daddy have to go to Luxembourg?”

Even though Asher already knows what Jack and Christian are dealing with in Luxembourg at the moment, Asher doesn’t want to tell Suri the truth. Asher is afraid that Suri will get another panic attack.

“Daddy’s working for Muller Finance International, honey.” From behind, Anne answered Suri’s question, instead of Asher answering Suri’s question.

“The Muller Finance International problem, what’s the problem, Mom?”

Anne sat beside Suri, Anne slowly touched Suri’s cheek gently. “Every company must have problems, not a single business runs smoothly without a hitch. Likewise with our company.”

“Are we going to be poor, Mom?” asked Suri innocently.

Anne chuckled, and so did Asher.

“Mom, I’m serious!!” Suri grumbled annoyed.

“There’s no way Suri, Muller Finance International and Clarke Enterprise are still at the top. We won’t be able to go bankrupt, let alone fall into poverty. You don’t have to worry,” answered Asher quietly, Asher didn’t want to frighten Suri for too long.

Suri immediately took a deep breath. “Oh thank God.”

Anne touched Suri’s cheek again. “Before you were born, Daddy thought well of your well-being, dear. So you don’t have to worry, even if something bad happens to the company, you will still be able to enjoy a comfortable life in the future.”

“Mommy...”

“What Aunty said is true, Suri. So don’t talk nonsense, you better finish your dessert after that we will continue our match.” Asher joined in, trying to divert the conversation. “Don’t tell me you don’t have the courage to fight me anymore.”

“It’s delicious, who said I was afraid. Ok, after eating we fight again,” said Suri loudly, Suri who was so infatuated with an online game that was popular among teenagers, did not accept being humiliated by Asher.

Asher chuckled. “Ok, we’ll just prove it then.”

Suri, who had been provoked by Asher’s provocation, then immediately ate the dessert that was in front of her voraciously, seeing how quickly Suri ate made Anne laugh out loud. One thing that Anne likes about Asher is his ability to tame Suri, no matter how angry Suri is, if Asher speaks, the anger that is burning will immediately dim. Asher’s softness and cleverness of speech always easily overpowers Suri’s ego.

Seeing that Suri had been diverted from the question of what her father and sister were doing in Luxembourg made Anne realize that her husband had been away too long, Anne promised to call Jack tonight. She had to make sure that her husband didn’t do anything crazy, as a mate who had known Jack for a long time, Anne realized that the man still didn’t have the ability to control his emotions well. Even though Erick and Nicholas had already gone to Luxembourg, Anne still didn’t really trust her husband’s two assistants who were so obedient.

After finishing her favorite manga pudding, Suri then forced Asher to immediately return to the living room to continue their fight.

“Mommy is going to the room, you two don’t play too long.”

“Yes, Mom.”

“Yes Auntie.”

Anne shook her head slowly at the behavior of her two favorite children. Because she couldn’t wait to talk to her husband, Anne then rushed up to her room, leaving Suri and Asher who had started shouting excitedly. Arriving at Anne’s room, she went straight to bed and grabbed her cellphone which was on the nightstand. When she was with Suri, Anne did not always carry her cellphone. Anne doesn’t want her time with Suri to be disturbed.

Anne’s smile widened when she looked at her cell phone screen, there were three missed calls that came in and all came from the same number, Jack’s number which was always the person who appeared on her cell phone the most. When Anne was about to call Jack back suddenly her cell phone rang, Anne immediately received a video call that came back from Jack.

“Hi...”

“Why did it take so long to pick up my phone? Suri and Asher aren’t in any trouble, are they?” Jack immediately bombarded Anne with several questions as soon as Anne received the call.

Anne smiled. “The kids and I just finished dinner, so I’m sorry I didn’t know you called. Everything’s fine, Asher and Suri too.”

“I’m grateful.”

“But Suri asked about you, Jack. It seems she misses you because you were gone too long,” said Anne quietly. “Isn’t your business done yet? Even though Elena is guilty, I don’t want you to be too harsh on her. Just leave this whole matter to the authorities.”

“How can I leave this matter to the police, Anne. Meanwhile the police don’t know that Suri has been missing for three years and I ask you not to mention the witch’s name again. I don’t want to hear her name,” said Jack curtly, his face immediately changed when he talked about Elena. Jack is still annoyed that until now he still hasn’t managed to find Elena, his intention to make Elena pay for all of Suri’s suffering has not been fulfilled even though he has been in Luxembourg for almost ten days.

Anne pursed her lips, hearing Jack’s rising intonation made Anne realize that her husband was in a good mood.

“It’s fine if you don’t want to involve the police in this matter, but with a note you can’t go overboard with the girl. Suri is back now, Jack. She has returned to us in good condition, no injuries. that was left in her body. You also know it yourself, don’t you if Suri...”

“Suri is not okay, Anne. She has such a big trauma, no kidnap victim will be okay after experiencing something terrible like that. Aren’t you You’ve seen for yourself how Suri reacted when she was shown the video at the hotel, right?”

“Yeah but...”

“So stop giving your pity to that little witch, she hasn’t only made Suri suffer for years, Anne. Right now she’s even targeting our first child, she’s aiming for Christian. After all the pain that she gave to Suri she wanted to hurt Christian, am I just going to be quiet after all that bad stuff? It won’t be possible, Anne. I will not let the person who has made my children suffer in peace, as long as I live I will not allow such a thing to happen,” Jack said without pause, his breath rattling as he spoke. It was obvious that Jack was so angry, remembering all of Elena’s rottenness made him furious.

“The one who is angry and disappointed is not only you, Jack. I was pregnant and gave birth to Suri, I am also very angry with them, the people who have hurt my daughter.” Anne spoke softly.

“You’re too kind, Anne.” Jack, who realized where Anne was talking, immediately grumbled in annoyance.

Anne smiled. “I’m not very nice, I just don’t want the sadness I’m going through to other moms out there. Even if Elena is guilty, leave the whole process to the authorities. I just don’t want my husband to repeat the bad guy’s mistake by making a mother cry.”
