Love Worth Fighting For

434 Back to Geneva

“Why is Christian suddenly going to Geneva? Is there a problem at work?” asked Anne in surprise.

Kainer shook his head. “No ma’am, there’s no problem at the office.”

“If there’s no problem then why does Christian have to leave suddenly like this?” 𝗳𝙧𝐞𝚎w𝗲𝚋n𝚘𝙫𝑒𝘭.𝑐om

“Anne.” Jack touched Anne’s shoulder gently. “Christian left there must be a reason, he is a leader of a large company so it must be a lot of work.”

“I know, but he doesn’t usually leave without saying goodbye like this. Moreover, he leaves without waiting for his wife to come home from work,” said Anne sadly. “I’m afraid Zwetta will be sad if she finds out Christian left like this, Zwetta is pregnant. She shouldn’t be stressed or sad.”

Jack smiled. “Our daughter-in-law is not a weak girl, she can definitely understand her husband’s duties and responsibilities. So you don’t need to worry, Zwetta will definitely be able to accept this news calmly.”

Anne squeezed her fingers tightly, even though Jack had calmed her down but Anne was still nervous. What happened to Luna made Anne pay so much attention to Zwetta this time, Anne wanted to make sure her second grandson was born perfect without any flaws.

The sudden sound of laughter from Zwetta and Suri made Anne straighten up. The thing she was afraid of finally came, even though she wasn’t ready yet, Anne tried to follow Jack’s advice. Zwetta needs to know ASAP if Christian is going to Geneva. Slowly Anne got up from the sofa and walked towards the door, ready to welcome her two daughters who had just returned from work leaving Jack and Kainer in the living room.

“I’ll ask Jorge to warm this pizza first,” said Suri happily.

.....

“Don’t forget to ask Jorge to add extra mozzarella cheese on top when it warms it up, the taste will surely be much more delicious if you add more mozzarella.”

Suri shook her head. “Jeez, is there still enough cheese topping? This is too much Zee.”

“Less,” Zwetta’s short, concise and clearly undeniable.

“You cheese monster,” Suri said quickly.

Zwetta laughed out loud at Suri’s words, Zwetta knew that her sister-in-law was just teasing her.

“Who are the monsters?” Anne, already standing, joined in the conversation of her two beloved daughters.

Suri lifted the four pizza boxes in her right and left hands into the air. “Who else? Of course Zwetta.”

“Pregnant women are often hungry Suri, so you can’t call your sister a monster because she has a slightly larger portion than the rest of us.” Jack answered from behind with a smile.

“That’s not what I meant, Dad. I called Zwetta a monster not because of the increased portion of her meal, I called her a monster because she still wanted to add mozzarella cheese on a pizza that had been given this thick mozzarella topping,” said Suri quickly, trying to explain what she meant. from her words that had called Zwetta a monster. “Zwetta is truly a cheese monster, she is so crazy about cheese.”

Anne and Jack laughed at the same time after hearing the meaning of Suri’s words, both of them felt embarrassed because they had thought things wrong with Suri before.

“It’s okay, cheese is good for pregnant women. As long as Zwetta balances it with other healthy foods,” said Anne softly as she touched Zwetta’s affectionately.

Getting defended by her mother-in-law made Zwetta feel so happy, she even stuck out her tongue to tease Suri.

“Come on, give the pizza box to Daddy. Daddy will ask Jorge to warm it up and add some cheese as Zwetta wants.” Jack stretched out his hand to Suri, trying to take the pizza box from Suri’s hand.

“Please ask Jorge to send it to the jacuzzi room, me and Zee want to soak while eating,” Suri said again.

“As your wish Princess,” Jack replied as he continued walking towards the kitchen, leaving Anne with Zwetta and Suri.

Anne smiled. “After taking a bath Mommy wants to talk to you face to face, you don’t mind, do you?”

“Just with me Mom?”asked Zwetta quietly.

“Yes honey, just you.”

“I want to join too!!” whined Suri with a hoarse voice.

“Mommy wants to talk about Zwetta’s, you ready to listen to our discussion about it all?”

Suri’s face immediately turned pale, her mother’s words managed to make her imagine the scene of how tormented a woman in childbirth is.

“No, I don’t want to join. I’ll just watch my favorite series then,” Suri replied quickly, as fast as her steps towards the stairs leaving her mother and sister-in-law who were now laughing with amusement at her behavior.

“That child is really immature,” said Anne softly. “Mommy can’t imagine what will happen to her if Areez really marries her, Mommy is afraid that Suri won’t be able to take care of her house properly.”

“Mom.” Zwetta squeezed Anne’s hand gently. “Suri isn’t that weak, she’s a smart and intelligent girl Mom. Suri will definitely be able to manage her house properly after getting married later.”

“Mommy hopes so,” said Anne hoarsely. “Back when the children were small, Mommy really wanted to see them grow up soon. But when they grew up and were ready to live their own lives, Mommy was afraid of losing them. It felt like Mommy wasn’t ready to give Suri to other people, Mommy wasn’t ready to give Mommy’s children to other people.”

“Mom…”

“But Mommy is grateful that now Mommy has you,” said Anne again quickly. “Mommy is grateful because Mommy has one more daughter, thank you for coming to our family which is quite complicated, honey.” Anne tightly gripped Zwetta as she spoke.

Zwetta smiled. “I’m grateful, Mom. Finally my dream has come true, I can feel the warmth of a complete family.”

“Oh my dear.” Anne immediately grabbed Zwetta’s and held her tightly in her arms. “Mommy is really very grateful to have you dear, Mommy is really very grateful.”

Zwetta returned her mother-in-law’s hug with happiness, she really felt happy because she had a mother-in-law as good as Anne. It felt like all the pain and willingness she experienced a few years ago paid off completely with all the happiness she got now.

Because she didn’t want to make Suri angry, Anne then released her arms from Zwetta.

“Go to your room, don’t make your spoiled sister wait too long. Don’t you two want to take a bath together?”

Zwetta nodded slowly. “Yes Mom.”

“Later Mommy will deliver the pizza to the jacuzzi, don’t worry,” said Anne again.

Zwetta chuckled. “Thank you, Mom.”

Anne nodded slowly.

“Careful, don’t run on stairs, Zee.”

“Yes Mom,” Zwetta while slowing down when climbing the stairs.

“That kid, just as careless as Christian,” said Anne quietly.

“Have you spoken to Zwetta?” Jack, who had just returned from the pantry, asked Anne again.

Anne shook her head. “Not yet, I’ll talk after Zwetta and Suri are done with the warm bath first.”

Jack planted a kiss on Anne’s forehead gently. “Zwetta should be able to understand Anne, don’t worry.”

“I hope so.”
