Love Worth Fighting For

170 Take a responsible

After picking up Claire, Tommy then rushed to the Wilson family’s house with his daughter who kept asking about Elena. The little girl who was quite close to Elena felt lost because she had not seen Elena for days, with her innocent attitude Claire continued to chatter about the many plans she wanted to do with Elena when they met.

“Claire want to come in or wait in the car?” asked Tommy quietly to his only daughter when he had stopped Jason’s car in front of the Wilson family home.

“Get off, I don’t want to wait in the car.”

Tommy smiled. “Okay, let’s go downstairs, but Claire promise not to be naughty, okay?”

Claire nodded excitedly. Not wanting to waste time, Tommy then grabbed Claire’s small body and carried her out of the car before they finally entered the Wilson family’s house which had not been opened in the past week since the owner of the house was taken to the hospital.

Tommy took a deep breath as he re-entered the place where he had been making a living for the past two years, his gaze glaring at the kitchen where he used to work with his wife at the Wilson family’s pastry shop.

“I have to hurry,” Tommy said quietly.

After removing all the feelings of emotion that plagued him, Tommy then entered Jody and Camila Wilson’s room with Claire in his arms. Tommy lowered Claire’s tiny body onto the bed.

“Wait and don’t be naughty, okay. I want to get some documents first,” Tommy said quietly to Claire who was enjoying her favorite rainbow lollipop.

.....

“Okay.”

Tommy smiled a little, after touching Claire’s hair fondly, Tommy immediately went to work. As Jody Wilson had previously instructed, Tommy opened the wooden cupboard in the room. Tommy carefully looked for the small chest in the cupboard, his lips smiled when he saw the wooden chest that was the place where Jody and Camila Wilson’s treasures were kept. Since the crate was unlocked, Tommy managed to open it easily. His eyes widened when he saw the pile of papers in the wooden crate, because he felt that all the papers were important, Tommy then moved all the papers into the backpack that had been prepared in advance. Tommy also brought a small jewelry box belonging to Camila Wilson which only contained a pair of earrings and a necklace which was quite old, seeing that Tommy had thinned his lips again. The two bosses were really very simple people.

Feeling that there was nothing left to take, Tommy then put the wooden coffin back into the cupboard. Tommy again carried his daughter and led her out of Jody and Camila Wilson’s room, Tommy’s steps stopped when he looked to the second floor, where Elena’s room was.

“I hope you’re okay wherever you are, Elena,” Tommy said quietly.

Tommy’s intention to immediately get out of the house was stopped when he remembered Elena, using the paper that is usually used as a record of the sales of cakes, Tommy wrote a message for Elena. In the short message Tommy also wrote down the address of the hospital where Jody and Camila Wilson were being treated. Tommy hoped that when Elena came home she would find the note and immediately follow him to St. Maria Hospital in Echternach. After placing his small note on the table, Tommy rushed out of the two-story house with Claire to immediately go to the town of Echternach.

Not long after Jason’s car left the Wilson family’s house, there were three men wearing thick black jackets, one of whom took out a cell phone from his shirt. He seemed to be making sure that the address was not wrong, once he felt sure. The man then nodded slowly, giving non-verbal commands to the two men beside him.

The two men then rushed to carry out the orders they got with their lips tightly locked and fast.

“Let’s go, let everything go naturally,” said the man who previously took out his cellphone in a deep baritone voice.

“Well.”

With quick steps, the three men walked away from the Wilson family home to a car parked not far from the house where Elena and her parents lived.

Geneva, Switzerland.

After the bloody accident, Areez became more frequent in the Clarke’s house. Not only did Suri welcome her arrival, Anne, who already had a plus rating on Areez, also looked very happy when the man with blonde hair came.

“There you go,” said Anne excitedly, in her hand she carried a tray of homemade hot chocolate for Suri and Areez who were in the living room.

Seeing Anne come with a tray that is quite heavy, Areez immediately got up from the floor where she was sitting with Suri. “Let me help you, madam.”

“No, it’s not as hard as you think.” Anne refused Areez’s help gently.

Areez who was already standing couldn’t help but smile slightly when Anne put the tray she was carrying on the table, Anne carefully moved two glasses of hot chocolate and homemade apple pie to the table.

“Warm chocolate and apple pie are good friends when the weather is so cold like today,” said Anne softly while stroking Suri’s head slowly, this week Areez has taken time out of his busy schedule to come home to correct Suri’s learning results. to catch up after three years of not continuing education in college.

“Don’t give me sweet food and drinks, Mom. I can round it up later,” said Suri annoyed, even though hot chocolate is her favorite drink, Suri refuses if her mother keeps making delicious drinks for her.

“Round?” Areez immediately responded to Suri’s words quickly. “What’s round? You don’t realize that your bones are popping out, do you?”

Suri, who was reading a book given by one of the economics and business teachers who had left thirty minutes ago, immediately turned to Areez and gave him a thick, hostile look. “I’m not asking for your opinion, nor am I talking to you. So don’t talk to me.”

“Dear.” Anne warned Suri gently. “Do not be like that.”

“It’s not my fault, Mom. It’s his fault, why should I talk to him?. I’m not talking to him,” Suri said defensively.

Areez who felt so comfortable with Anne then sat beside Suri and immediately ruffled the girl’s hair roughly. “Reduce this annoying hobby of yours, princess. Aren’t you afraid to wrinkle quickly, huh?”

Suri shrieked a little looking so surprised. “W..wrinkles? But I still can’t possibly wrinkle, I’m still young.”

“Try to search on the internet, find out one of the causes of wrinkles,” Areez said again without guilt.

Suri who panicked immediately grabbed the tablet that was in Areez’s lap, she immediately searched for the keywords that Areez previously gave on the internet. Her eyes widened perfectly when she managed to find one of the articles that confirmed Areez’s words, she frantically turned to her mother who seemed to be holding back laughter.

“Momm...”

Anne smiled a little, she slowly touched Suri’s head. “It’s ok...”

“No, it’s not ok, Mom. It’s a big problem!”

“So don’t get angry often,” Areez said, teasing Suri again.

“Shut up!!”

“Dear.” Anne squeezed Suri’s hand gently. “You won’t have wrinkles in ten or fifteen years, don’t worry. After all, now that there are many beauty doctors scattered all over the world, you can visit any one of those clinics as you please.”

“Besides, you would look beautiful to me with or without wrinkles, Suri,” Areez said honestly.

Not only Anne who immediately turned to Areez, Suri also did the same thing. Areez, who realized that if he was being watched by two beautiful women from different generations, chose to continue eating the apple pie that he had previously tried one spoonful, Areez chose to pretend to be busy eating.

Realizing her mistake, Anne then smiled a little. After landing a kiss on the head of her daughter, Anne immediately left the room to re-busy herself with other activities in her study room.

Slap...

Suri landed a punch on Areez’s thigh hard.

“Be careful when you talk,” said Suri quietly. “You know there’s Mommy.”

Areez who felt no pain from Suri’s punch smiled a little. “Be Careful what? What I said earlier is true, whatever your form will be, I will still like you. You will always be number one in my life.”

“Liar!”

“Want proof?” challenge Areez fast.

Suri immediately folded her arms across her chest. “You wouldn’t be so brave!”

Not wanting to be doubted, Areez slowly placed the plate of apple pie on the table carefully. After wiping his lips with the small handkerchief Anne had prepared beforehand, Areez suddenly stood up.

“What do you want?” asked Suri confused.

“Meeting your mother,” Areez replied curtly.

“Huh?”

Areez pursed her lips. “Don’t you want proof, don’t you? Yes, I have proven it now, I will go to your mother and immediately ask her permission to marry you so we can immediately ...”

Areez’s attention was stopped by a pillow that flew and hit his face. Suri who panicked at Areez’s words immediately threw the pillow that was nearby at Areez.

“Especially?”

“Don’t be crazy! Who would want to marry you anyway?” said Suri annoyed. “I don’t want to waste my precious life with a lunatic like you again.”

“You’re the one who drives me crazy, Suri.”

“Tch, you think I’d be touched to hear that?” Suri pouted annoyed. “I won’t be tempted by such cheap seduction.”

Arees smiled. “I’m not giving you cheap seduction, I’m revealing all my heart to you, Suri. what I’ve done so far is still not enough to prove how much I love you, huh?”

Suri, who still didn’t want her little secret with Areez to be known to everyone, then grabbed the man’s hand with full strength. Because Areez was not ready, his body fell and landed right on top of Suri’s body. Suri, who didn’t expect something like this to happen, let out a small scream, her cheeks felt so hot when she realized that Areez was right above her.

“Areezz...”

Areez who was initially so surprised slowly began to control himself, his lips thinned into a smile. “Did you miss me a lot, princess?”

Suri tried her best to neutralize her heartbeat which was now racing very fast, even though they had lived with Areez for three years under the same roof but they had never had intimate physical contact like most other normal couples.

“Areez, it’s heavy. I can’t breathe,” said Suri honestly.

Areez smiled a little, he slowly stepped away from Suri’s petite body and sat back down quietly after previously helping Suri to get up from the floor.

“I want to start over with you, Suri.”

“W..what?”

Areez grabbed Suri’s hand and squeezed it gently. “I know that what I have done to you is a big mistake that is difficult to forgive, so now I want to take responsibility for everything. I am ready to accept whatever punishment your family will give me, as long as I can still meet you and start it all over again from the start with you I was ready to accept any severe punishment. I want to be responsible to you, Suri...”

Suri forcibly pulled her hand from Areez’s grip. “Y..you don’t need to be responsible for anything, after all i..i I’m fine. I don’t need any responsibility from you.” Suri spoke with a slight stutter, the words Areez had just said bothered her.

“I have to answer to you, Suri. I must.” Areez said again. “I must return all the time that I have stolen from you during these three years, allow me to atone for all my mistakes, Suri. I beg you.”
