Billionaire's Sweetheart

Chapter 843

Jack Wood had sensed changes of her, but he did not care at all.

In his arms was his daughter Crystal, his handsome face was filled with depression, because Anne's cellphone seemed to ring again. A man's voice sounded from the other end of her phone, interrupting their conversation.

Right now, Anne had found a very challenging job. She actually went straight to the business department. As a result, she busied herself with her daily work, which was one of the things that made Jack especially unhappy.

After finishing the call, Anne's beautiful eyes swept across his face, and then laughed: "What are you bored about again? That's what I do for a living. You should be able to understand me, right? Weren't you this busy with me before?"

Hearing that, Jack's eyes widened, and his face had a look of resentment, "Anne, you really know how to hold a grudge, so the reason why you're looking for a job is that you take revenge on me?"

Anne raised her delicate eyebrows, and laughed: "I am not taking revenge on you. I am only trying to make my career more challenging."

"You are!" Jack's beautiful eyes were filled with grievance.

Anne said indifferently: "If you really want to think like that, then so be it."

Jack lowered his head in disappointment, as if he was injured. He didn't say anything for a long time. Anne's beautiful eyes glanced at him, and seeing that he looked as if he had suffered a hugeText © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

grievance. She couldn't help but reach out and pat the back of his hand, "Jack, are you angry?"

Jack raised his eyes, his expression still somewhat gloomy: "How could I dare to be angry at you? I'm afraid of losing you again."

"I'm not leaving. Wherever Crystal is, where I am." Anne replied leisurely.

"If you are not leaving, then let's get married!" Ever since Jack went out of the country to bring Anne back, the two of them had gotten along quite well. But Anne had never mentioned the word 'marriage', which made Alan brooding. He was afraid that she would leave him again.

Anne frowned, "We get along really well together like this. Why do we get married?"

"If I don't get married, I don't feel safe!" Jack held her small hand, and his tone of voice had a hint of sadness.

Anne said in a mocking tone, "I never thought that a dignified Young Master would actually feel insecure."

"Edward and Felicity are getting married." Jack said.

Anne was startled: "So you're jealous?"

"Of course!" Alan did not hide his envious feelings at all.

However, Anne said indifferently: "Your mother has yet to meet with my family. It is still too early to mention the matter of marriage." When this matter was brought up, Jack's expression froze.

Indeed, although on the surface, her mother seemed to have accepted Anne, and no longer argued. But she did not come to see Anne once. The two of them were in a stalemate, which was also the most disturbing thing for Jack.

"If I convince my mother to come and see you will you agree to get married?" Jack asked in a low voice.

Anne bit her lips: "Forget it. If she doesn't like me, even if we meet again, she wouldn't like me."

Jack became silent again.

After the car got off the highway, it directly drove into Ferry Village's villa.

Edward had already asked his assistant Larry to help him settle everything here, so after they got out of the car, they only rested in the hotel for a bit before heading to the lakeside to fish.

Although it was winter, there were still many people who came to fish. Because it was the weekend. Most of the people here were parents who brought their children to experience leisure time.

When Edward and Jack brought their children and their own women over, it instantly caused a huge commotion because the level of appearance of this group of people was out of this world.

The two men both had tall and sturdy statures, handsome faces, and noble temperament. They had the unique aura of a Young Master from a rich family.

The few children beside them, despite their young age, had inherited their parents' genes and were as beautiful and exquisite as dolls.

Felicity and Anne were lagging behind, the two women chatted while walking, talking about the interesting things about children, and thus, sounds of laughter could be heard from time to time.

Many men's eyes landed on the two of them.

Felicity was wearing a white down jacket, which looked pure and clean, and looked extremely beautiful and dazzling.

Anne, on the other hand, was wearing a black nylon overcoat, had beautiful shoulder-length short hair, and looked exquisite and gorgeous as well. She had a businesswoman's tact and wit.

Edward and Jack monopolized a fishing area, and his bodyguards dutifully brought them chairs, a simple tea table and even hot tea.

There was a thick layer of snow on the grass next to them. The two kids each carried a small bucket with all kinds of tools to play inside. They were very excited to see the picturesque scenery here.

"Felicity, why don't you and Miss Anne sit here for tea and chat. We're competing in fishing and whoever loses will be treating us to a meal tonight." Edward said while smiling. He then gently walked to Felicity's side.

Felicity smiled and nodded: "Alright, you go ahead and fish."

The three children were dressed as thick as buns, wearing cute knitted hats and gloves.

Although the weather was cold, the children who enjoyed playing seemed to not be afraid of the cold. They still held onto their tools, happily playing with it.

Crystal was swaying like a small penguin as she followed behind Arya. She called out "sister" so sweetly that it made the adults beside him smile and pay attention to her.

Anne watched Edward speak to Felicity just now, his eyes filled with love and warmth. She couldn't help but say with envy: "Your relationship with Mr. Edward is really good."

Felicity shyly lowered her head and laughed, "That's right. To be able to meet him is really the luckiest thing in my life."

"Your relationship has always been victorious along the way. Unlike Jack and I, who often quarreled. No matter how close the relationship is, it's all gone because of the quarrel, and it's hard to find the kind of wholehearted trust we had in our first love." It was not that she didn't want to fall in love with Jack. It was just that she didn't dare to.

Felicity could also tell that there was always an invisible wall between them. Even when they were talking and laughing, there was a lack of intimacy from the bottom of their heart.

"To establish trust is not an easy thing to do. Suspicion is the greatest enemy of love and marriage. I feel that the Young Master Jack is a good person. Maybe you can let go of other things and fall in love with him again" Felicity advised softly.

"I wish that time could flow backwards, back to the day when he and I first met." A hint of sadness surfaced on Anne's beautiful face.
