63 The Biggest Gift

Gossip about a political marriage between Christian and a mysterious beautiful girl who was caught on camera by a passerby while buying a snack at a convenience store is now not only circulating at Clarke Enterprise, almost all of Luxembourg has also been talking about this unaccounted for news. Various gossip shows on television competed to guess the lucky girl’s figure and everything that had happened for almost three days had really bothered Elena.

Elena, who initially didn’t want to bother with the news, began to be disturbed, countless Elena had dropped the paper that was on her desk.

“Oh heart...what’s wrong with you? Why are you like this? So what if he got married? He’s still single, not tied to anyone. So if he gets married it seems reasonable...besides he’s a rich man, he’s free to marry anyone. That girl is definitely not a random person either.” Elena spoke in a hoarse voice, her eyes tearing up for no reason staring at the television screen which was talking about news of Christian Clarke’s marriage to a mysterious girl.

Because her ears were already hot, Elena grabbed the remote and turned off the gossip show. Her mood was made even more chaotic by the show, the pile of work that had been piling up since Christian’s departure had not been half done. Christian’s unheard departure made Elena confused, she didn’t know what to do other than asking all the divisions waiting in line to get Christian’s signature to be patient. Although a secretary to the CEO, but Elena did not dare to make a decision. Moreover, Christian did not give her any message before leaving without a message like this time.

“Elena Wilson!!!”

Elena, who was checking the files, immediately raised her head, looking at the source of the sound with her glasses down to the bridge of her nose.

Siena and a manager from the General Affair division stood with their hands on their hips in front of the open door of Elena’s room.

“Yes,” replied Elena politely as she elegantly removed her glasses.

Siena gritted her teeth, seeing how relaxed Elena was at the moment made her jealousy grow even bigger. “Where’s the file I gave yesterday, it’s done? Today Mateo from the GA division wants to check it out.”

.....

“Mateo?”

“I’m Mateo,” answered a bespectacled man standing beside Siena quickly. “I’m the manager of the GA division who left the file yesterday with Siena to give you.”

Siena, who was annoyed at how polite Mateo was and then elbowed Mateo’s waist to warn him, but Mateo who was already captivated by Elena didn’t care about Siena. He chose to endure the pain that was currently in his waist so as not to break eye contact with Elena who was sitting behind her desk.

“Oh, so you’re the manager of the GA division who submitted the proposal yesterday?”

Mateo nodded quickly. “Yes, yesterday I left it with Siena.”

Elena smiled a little. “I’ve checked it and for all proposals that require Mr. Clarke’s signature are still pending and waiting in line, I also don’t dare to give a signature or anything. Even though I am his secretary, I still don’t dare to go that far, I have no power. It’s that big. So please understand, I promise when Mr. Clarke comes back I’ll be in touch with you.”

“You don’t know when he will be home, Miss Elena?”

Elena nodded slowly. “No, I really don’t know. Even until now he hasn’t replied to any of the messages I sent since three days ago.”

“So you’re not as close as you seem, are you?”

“Pardon?”

Siena chuckled softly. “I thought your relationship with the boss was very close, it turns out you’re just an ordinary employee in his eyes. No wonder you don’t know when the boss will be back.”

Elena squeezed the hem of the skirt she was wearing tightly, trying to suppress the emotions that welled up inside her at the provocation Siena had spoken to anger her. Luckily Mateo, who still has a lot of work to do, invites Siena to leave Elena’s room, Mateo who feels he has nothing to do with Elena chooses to leave because he doesn’t want to disturb Elena. Mateo felt sorry for Elena, especially after he heard Siena’s insinuation that it was so inappropriate for Elena.

After the two people who were not expected to come were gone, Elena then leaned her forehead against the cold work table. Elena was really not only tired physically, she was also mentally tired after dealing with impatient people like Siena who made her work pile up.

Realizing that her work would not be finished if she complained, Elena then put her glasses back on and started working seriously. She still had three hours left before she could relax in her bed at home.

Geneva International Airport, Switzerland.

Because they were too busy making Suri happy, neither Christian nor Kainer opened the phone. They really only focus on taking care of Suri while in Japan, that’s why at the moment neither of them knows about Christian’s marriage gossip with a daughter from another rich family.

The photo that was taken was indeed a Christian photo, but the figure of the girl standing next to him was Suri, not like the previous rumors. And Christian, who didn’t know about the gossip, certainly didn’t provide any clarification, now his focus is on surprising his mother who is on her birthday by delivering Suri as a gift from her.

“How do I look, Christ?” asked Suri nervously.

Christian smiles. “Beautiful, you are always beautiful, Suri.”

“I’m serious, brother!!”

“I’m serious too, anyway why do you have to ask a question that you already know the answer to, hm?”

Suri looked down, fiddled with her fingers on her thighs. “I don’t want to make Mommy sad on her happy day.”

“Suri.” Christian lifts Suri’s chin up so it’s level with her face. “How can Mommy be sad, honey. Mommy must be very happy to see you here, you are the only reason to make Mommy smile. You know that, don’t you?”

“I know, but I’m afraid that Mommy will be sad. With me being gone for that long Mommy must be very worried, that’s why I want to look perfect when I meet her so Mommy doesn’t worry. I have to show Mommy that I’m okay,” said Suri slowly, expressing all her worries.

Christian’s chest is like being doused with ice, the words of Suri who are worried about his mother’s feelings really make Christian speechless. And it was not only Christian who was surprised by Suri’s words, Kainer and several bodyguards who were still on the plane waiting for Christian and Suri to come out were moved. They all know that all this time everyone’s attention has been on Suri, but when Suri came back she was worried about other people’s feelings. Suri is really an adult.

With tears already gathering in his eyes, Christian immediately hugged his beloved sister’s body tightly. “I promise, Suri. I promise to protect you, I swear I will always follow all your wishes, Suri.”

“Brother...”

Suri’s words stopped because Christian’s embrace was getting stronger on her body, Suri let her brother hug her body again. Christian’s soft sobs made Suri realize that her sister was still carried away by feelings of joy and emotion over their reunion.

After feeling that he could control himself again, Christian then let go of his arms on Suri. With his eyes still red and puffy, Christian then smoothed the dress Suri was wearing using both hands.

“You’re ready now,” Christian says quietly. “Ready?”

Suri smiled broadly. “A little nervous actually, but I’m ready. I can’t wait to see Mommy and Daddy.”

Christian nodded slowly, Christian slowly helped Suri to get up from her seat and rushed out of the plane. As soon as she got out of the plane, Suri immediately lifted her face into the air, breathing in the air in her homeland with her eyes closed.

“Welcome home,” Christian whispers quietly, Christian knows what Suri is doing.

Suri smiled. “Let’s go home. We’ll meet Mommy.”

Christian nods excitedly, Christian lovingly guides Suri off the plane to the car that is ready to take them to their second childhood home which for three years has not had a laugh.

While on the way home, Suri kept playing with her hands outside the window. Luckily at this time there were several cars already standing guard in front, so even if Suri put all her hands out of the car it wouldn’t be dangerous. And Christian let Suri do that, he didn’t want to spoil his sister’s flowery mood.

Clarke Mansion, 8.30 PM. Geneva, Switzerland.

Just like two years before, Anne’s birthday this time was only celebrated with a simple dinner with Jack. Asher, who was in Portugal on business, couldn’t be in the midst of a husband and wife who still miss their daughter very much. Anne herself, who refused to celebrate her birthday, chose not to dress up. Anne considered dinner today as dinner as usual, nothing special.

“Babe...”

Anne, who was wiping her lips with a handkerchief, turned to Jack who had just called her. “Hmmm...”

“Happy birthday, honey.”

Anne pursed her lips. “Thank you.”

“I hope this year I’ll be able to see more of your smile,” said Jack hopefully, since Suri’s missing three years ago Anne has barely smiled if she wasn’t forced to.

“Hopefully so.”

Jack who saw Anne about to leave the dining table rushed up and immediately stopped Anne’s steps, even though she was not young anymore but her good looks and beauty was still awake. A healthy lifestyle really keeps Jack charming at her mature age.

“Whatever happens, we face it all together, Anne. So please, don’t be too sad. I can’t live life if I see you like this, you are all I need to go through all this nightmare,” said Jack quietly. with misty eyes. “Suri our child, it’s not only you who are sad and devastated. I’m the same as you my dear, I’m almost crazy even. Every night when I go to sleep I hope that if Suri comes home tomorrow morning, I hope that everything that is happening right now is just a bad dream... .so I beg of you please don’t add to this torment anymore. I need your smile, honey. I need you, Anne.”

Anne looked at Jack with mixed feelings. “I also don’t want to be like this, Jack.. I also don’t want to have to endure the pain in my chest like this. I’m tired, I also want to be like before. Being able to laugh with our children at the dinner table like this, through the day -happy day....

“Mommy...”
