I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Chester who had walked far enough then turned to Anne and Jack. "Bringing my daughter home. Looks like she\'s played too much today and it\'s time for her to rest at home."

"But it looks like Charlotte still wants to play with Christian. Why don\'t you give her a little more time?"

Chester leveled his gaze. "Charlotte is my daughter. I know what\'s best for her, Mrs. Clarke. You don\'t have to worry," he answered and then left the place as he wrapped his arms around Charlotte, his beloved daughter.

Anne bit her lower lip. Seeing Charlotte crying and being carried away like that made her heart hurt. Anne was sure that Charlotte still wanted to play with Christian.

"We can\'t do anything, babe. Chester is Charlotte\'s father, he has full rights over his daughter and as outsiders, we can\'t force him to do what we want," Jack said quietly trying to calm Anne. Jack knew Anne felt sorry for Charlotte, who was taken away forcefully.

Anne turned around quickly and immediately hugged Jack tightly. "Let\'s go home. I want to get out of this place, Jack."

"Are you sure? Didn\'t you want to buy some stuff for the princess?"Jack tried to convince Anne.

Anne nodded her head in response to the question asked by Jack. Anne tried to hold back tears so she tightly shut her lips. Her motherly soul was hurt to see a little girl taken away in such a condition. She really couldn\'t bear to see Chester\'s treatment of his own biological daughter, Charlotte.

Jack, who already understood Anne\'s condition, then quickly took her away from the place. Luis, who had been carrying Christian since Chester had brought Charlotte out of the play area, seemed to understand what had happened even though neither Anne nor Jack told him. Not long after, the play area became deserted and was re-opened to the public after being previously rented by Luis.

All the way home, Anne didn\'t say anything. She chose to lean her head against the back of the chair and turn her back to Jack. Anne was not angry. She was just annoyed with herself for not doing anything to see a small child being taken by her father while playing. At first glance, Anne remembered her childhood memories of being kicked out by her peers when she played in the park because she was considered not to be from a rich family. At that time, her father always came and carried her away, just like Charlotte was carried away. Since being pregnant with her second child, Anne had become more sensitive. It was unlike when she was pregnant with Christian three years ago.

After arriving at the house, Jack intended to carry Anne out of the car. He thought his wife was sleeping because during the trip Anne had kept her eyes closed. However, when he was about to touch his wife\'s body, Jack was surprised by the movement of Anne\'s hand, which immediately waved his hand so as not to touch her body.

"Babe..."

"I can walk on my own. I don\'t need your help." Anne responded harshly to Jack\'s words, before finally she opened the car door on her right and rushed out of the car leaving Jack looking confused.

The members of the Warriors, who were already standing beside the car, couldn\'t help but stare at the cold attitude that the madam showed to her husband. They didn\'t dare to do anything for fear of making the madam even more upset. Jack himself could only silently stare at his wife from where he was standing now. Even though he didn\'t know what mistake he had made, but Jack tried to be patient and didn\'t ask Anne at the moment. Jack wanted to give Anne time to calm down. He suspected that the change in her attitude had something to do with Charlotte. Since finding out that she was pregnant with a baby girl, Anne was indeed more sensitive and preferred girls. Even when she went to hospital for a check-up, Jack was surprised when he saw that Anne immediately became close to mothers who had baby girls.

"Is everything all right, sir?" Luis, who had just arrived, asked Jack in a low voice.

Jack took a deep breath. "For now everything is still good, hopefully in the future it will continue like this although I\'m not sure myself."

Luis chuckled. He knew what Jack was talking about. "Believe me, carrying a baby is a very tough and difficult job, so in case you see a drastic change in Madam\'s attitude, it\'s better to be patient, because you don\'t feel what Madam feels when she has to carry a baby in her belly everywhere, which changes her whole personality from A to Z."

"That\'s what I\'m doing right now, Luis, and give Christian to the nanny, there\'s an important thing I want to talk to you about," Jack said quietly suddenly remembering some small issues he had to resolve with Luis.

Without arguing, Luis then gave a code to a servant to come closer to him, Luis carefully gave Christian to the servant to be brought into his room. After handing Christian to the servant, Luis then followed Jack into his study. Luis was sure there was something important Jack wanted to talk to him about, given the way Jack looked at him when he talked.

< Lloyd Mansion, 1 PM >

Crash...!

The sound of some crockery could be heard very clearly from Chester\'s office. After returning from the mall, the man went crazy in his office. Chester vented his frustration on Jackson Knight Clarke, who he considered to have interfered with his conversation with Anne in the play area.

"That man is really rude and very arrogant. Do you think you\'re the only one who can have a wife as perfect as Marianne? Don\'t call me Chester Lloyd if I can\'t make Anne fall in love with me! Just wait and see, Jack. I will prove to you that the woman you love can easily turn to me. No woman can resist the charm of Chester Lloyd, including women who have boasted to glorify love. Fuck! Love doesn\'t exist, love is only money. No money means no love, no love then no money. That\'s the real measure of love, you\'re too hypocritical, Anne. I\'m sure if your husband wasn\'t a rich man, you definitely wouldn\'t be able to glorify the word love as you mentioned earlier. Tsk... what a hypocrite woman! Just watch, you will definitely submit to me like the women out there," Chester Lloyd said hoarsely with his fists clenched on the table.
