I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Anne was sitting nicely on the sofa after drinking the warm water that Noah gave her. In front of her, there were also a lot of warm food that had just been made.

"Is there anything else I can help you with, sir?"

Jack shook his head. "Looks like this is enough, you can go now, Noah."

"Very well then, if you'll excuse me, sir."

Jack smiled then closed the door to his room once Noah was completely out of sight on the second floor. Jack did not directly approach Anne who was enjoying her food. He was still a little annoyed at Anne, who he considered to have never changed and was still as careless as before.

"It's good, come eat with me," said Anne without guilt.

"Eat your own food. I'm tired and I want to sleep."

Anne was just about to take a bite of the croissant and immediately froze when she heard Jack's words. Before Anne had time to open her mouth again, she had seen Jack go to the bathroom. She did not continue to eat. She suddenly lost her appetite after hearing what Jack said earlier. After 10 minutes, the bathroom door opened. Jack apparently chose to take a shower before going to bed. The combination of citrus aromas and musk could be clearly smelled from Jack's body, which looked fresh after being exposed to cold water. His hair was still a little wet when Jack laid his body on their big bed.

Jack was very tired. Not a minute had passed after he laid down, the sound of his soft snoring was clearly heard by Anne, who was still sitting on the sofa in front of various delicious foods. But because she had lost her appetite Anne no longer touched the food. Since it was late, Anne decided to take a shower before going to bed. After soaking in the bathtub for a long time, Anne then rinsed and was surprised to see blood stains on the glass.

"Jack, I'm sure this must be Jack's blood," said Anne to herself.

Without waiting long, Anne immediately grabbed a clean white bathrobe and put it on. As soon as she got out of the bathroom, she immediately ran to the bed where Jack was sleeping. Her eyes narrowed when she saw the wound on Jack's left hand. Her guess was right, Jack hit the bathroom wall to vent his anger.

Because she didn't want to make the wound on Jack's hand infected, she then rushed to find a first aid kit and immediately put a bandage on Jack's hand carefully after previously giving a little antiseptic liquid.

"I know you lost a lot because Grandpa left, but don't hurt yourself like this, Jack. It's not only you who lost Grandpa, I and everyone in this house also feel the same loss," Anne murmured softly, her faint smile tugging at the sight of Jack's other hand which was also red.

As she was about to sit on the bed to catch Jack to sleep, her stomach suddenly began to churn again. Without waiting for long, Anne rushed to the bathroom. After taking out all the food that she had just eaten, she finally realized something. She was two weeks late for her period!

"T-this can't be, no, I can't be pregnant," muttered Anne quietly. Her hand reflexively touched her belly which looked huge because it was covered by the belt from her sleeping pajamas.

Anne went back to remembering her menstrual schedule, based on the schedule for the first menstruation last month. Anne was absolutely sure that by now she was two weeks late. Slowly, a warm feeling welled up in her chest, her motherly spirit emerged instantly. Her instincts as a woman made her cry with emotion. Although she had not yet confirmed her pregnancy with a test pack or a doctor's examination, she was very sure that her and Jack's love fruit was growing inside her body. Anne was absolutely sure she was pregnant, because all this time Jack had never used safety when they made love. Jack also always showered her womb with all his love fluids when they made love.

"Hey little one, are you in there?"

Anne's smile grew as she spoke to herself with her stomach. Because her head suddenly hurt, she finally decided to leave the bathroom. She didn't want anything untoward to happen. She laid beside Jack with her back to him. Anne planned to tell Jack everything in the morning when she woke up. When she had just closed her eyes, Anne smiled again. She finally figured out what had been causing her to be acting weird lately, from being a bit picky with food to suddenly feeling nauseous. It turned out that her body had given the code naturally and Anne only realized it now.

< Berlin, Germany >

Leon who chose to stay in Berlin for a while seemed to smile in his bed when he read the news of David Clarke's death. He was very happy that the arrogant old man had finally died.

"Sir…."

"Hush! You girls go to sleep, I just want to have a drink," Leon said softly calming the two beautiful women who had just served him.

"Don't be too long, sir."

Leon chuckled. "Sure, sweety. I'm going down now. Wait for me to go up, afterwards, you'll satisfy me again, okay?"

The two beautiful girls who were lying down smiled at Leon's words. With mischievous movements, the two girls tried to lure Leon back like three hours ago. But because Leon wanted to smoke, he just shook his head slightly to see what the two beautiful paid women were doing. After getting off the bed, Leon grabbed his sleeping robe on the chair and rushing to the balcony of his room to smoke.

Since parting with Stefi, Leon's life felt lighter. He was no longer depressed. There was nothing that stopped him from doing whatever he wanted, including smoking like now. Accompanied by a bottle of whiskey, Leon read several articles discussing the news of David Clarke's death. Leon's smile lit up when he read an article that wrote how sad a Jackson Knight Clarke was left by his grandfather.

"Tch... he changed his name apparently, but still Marianne's last name will be Ganke. I'll make sure it will happen soon," Leon said softly with a smile as he looked at the photo of Jack, who looked very sad when his grandfather's coffin was lowered into the ground.

"Enjoy the reward for your arrogance, David Clarke, now you can't be arrogant anymore. Unite with the worms in the ground hahaha...I'll take what's mine again! From the start Marianne was mine and your ignorant grandson has dared to take my woman! I swear I will bring Marianne back to this house, please help me, Grandma. Give me the convenience of bringing the woman of your choice back to her position again as Mrs. Ganke."

Leon spoke in his heart passionately. His determination to seize Marianne was even greater now. Just as he was about to smoke his cigarette again, one of the women he had hired from the brothel came and hugged him from behind.

"Come on sir, we can't sleep without you."

Leon chuckled. "You naughty girl, let's go to bed. Serve me again."
