I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Anne ordered a regular sized pan pizza, a portion of spaghetti and lasagna. This Italian food was one of Anne's favorite foods when she was still living in Germany, when she became Leon's wife. She could only eat this food because there was no food at Leon's house that she could enjoy. The servants in the house really didn't leave any food for her, so if she wanted to eat, she had to cook for herself. 

"Wow, it looks very delicious," said Anne excitedly when she saw the food she ordered arrived on the table.

"It's just pizza, Anne. It's nothing fancy," Jack sneered at Anne who looked very amazed at the pizza on the table.

"I know it's just pizza, but it's good food for me. Everyone can enjoy this food, without having to see what car they drive to come to the restaurant," replied Anne quickly, taking a bite of the smallest pizza she had just taken from the pan. 

A smile appeared on Jack's handsome face. He now understood why Anne invited him to eat at the Italian restaurant. Because Anne seemed to really enjoy her food, Jack was tempted. Without hesitation, he took two slices of pizza and immediately bit them in one big bite and surprised Anne, she didn't expect Jack to eat like that.

"There are still many, Jack, don't worry," said Anne quietly.

"Hmm delicious, I didn't know there was a pizza restaurant this good." Jack spoke to himself, ignoring Anne's words, with his mouth full of pizza.

Because Jack seemed to really enjoy his pizza, Anne chose to focus on her food. She grabbed the spoon and took the lasagna full of meat and enjoyed it happily. Being able to eat delicious food like this was really something that Anne never imagined before. Even though she had to go through a terrible life because she had to be married and cheated on by Leon but Anne was grateful. Because if she didn't marry Leon, maybe now she would still be a curator at a museum with a mediocre salary and always thought twice about buying food. Meeting Grandma Chaterine made a lot of changes in her and Anne was very grateful for that. 

The money that Grandma Catherine gave her could actually be used for the next ten years without her having to work, but Anne didn't want that. She did not want to live by relying on money from Grandma Catherine, so she opened a business to make her own money. Anne had the intention of returning the money to Leon one day when she already saved the same amount of money as Grandma Catherine had given her and to collect that much money she had to work even harder.

"Why are you daydreaming, Anne?" Jack waved his hand in front of Anne's face repeatedly to wake Anne from her daydream.

"Ah no, I'm just wondering how to make this delicious pizza," replied Anne, lying.

"I've known you for more than two years, Anne, don't ever try to lie to me. You're the ugliest liar ever," said Jack coldly. His eyes fixed on Anne's eyes without blinking.

"Seriously, I never imagined I could enjoy food like this. My meager salary while working at the museum made me have to be smart with my finances, so I had to think twice if I wanted to eat this kind of food. I've even thought about how to make pizza like this, therefore I am now very happy to try various pizzas from other brands to find the best recipe. Maybe next time I should open a pizza restaurant as well for my next business," Anne replied again, trying to convince Jack.

Jack put the pieces of pizza that was in his hand onto the plate. Slowly, he grabbed Anne's hand and held it tightly. "How many more secrets that do not I know, Anne? Were you really that poor back then, Anne?" He asked softly.

"There are no secret that I hide from you, Not everyone is born rich like you, Jack. And actually, I'm still lucky that I can go to school, because believe me there are still many other poor kids who can't go to school. So actually I'm not very poor, hehe." Anne laughed softly and casually, as she recounted a bit of her past again to Jack.

Jack's previously fierce gaze seemed to have dimmed and now became wistful. His heart ached to hear Anne's words, who could still be grateful with all her limitations in the past. Without paying attention to the food in front of him, Jack immediately pulled Anne into his arms and made the glasses and plates on the table fall, luckily the plate containing spaghetti and lasagna didn't fall and just swayed. 

Anne was still surprised as Jack pulled her into his arms like that, when suddenly she got another surprise when Jack licked her lips greedily without feeling the slightest embarrassment, even though there were currently three pizza restaurant employees looking at the two of them.

Anne finally realized then pushed Jack away from him with both hands. After trying with all her strength, she finally managed to make Jack break the kiss. 

"Jack, watch your attitude, we're in..."

"Sorry, Anne, I'm sorry I got to know you late. I'm sorry I didn't immediately search in Germany first, I'm sorry for being useless." He was sorry to Anne for what she had been through. 

"What are you talking about? Why should you apologize? It's not your fault, we only met after I moved to England. So you don't have to feel guilty like that, what happened to me is part of my life journey that I have to go through," said Anne slowly, trying to calm the man who looked very guilty towards her.

Jack hugged her again tightly and landed kisses on Anne's shoulder many times.

"I promise, after we get married later you will never experience anything like that again, Anne. I promise to make you happy,"Jack said softly in a hoarse voice, as if he was holding back tears. 

"M-married?"

"Yes, married, haven't you accepted my proposal earlier?" asked Jack quickly as he released his arms from Anne and looked back at Anne with a sad look. 

"But not so soon Jack, give me time. After all, I'm still in college, Jack, I don't want to drop out of college again because I'm married. I have to graduate college this time," said Anne carefully. She didn't want to make Jack angry with her words. 

Jack smiled and smoothed Anne's hair which was a little messy after she hugged and kissed before. "After we get married, I will not forbid you to go to college. You're free to pursue your dreams. As long as you remember your main obligation as my wife," said Jack softly. 

"The main obligation..."

"Yes, Mrs. Muller's main obligation is to please Mr. Muller in bed," said Jack, quickly cutting Anne's words.
