I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Anne's beautiful eyes immediately opened wide. The two beautiful eyes glowed when the owner had woken up from her sleep. Anne, who had been sleeping since the afternoon, suddenly woke up when she again dreamed of her wedding ceremony with Jack, who at that time still used the identity of Alan. She grabbed her hair which had been cut short to tie it up. Even though it was only a shoulder's length, Anne still felt uncomfortable with such short hair. For the past week, the same dream had been coming to Anne. It was a dream that reminded her of the memories from three years ago that Anne had always tried to forget.

It had been three years since Anne decided to leave Jack's life. Being accused of having an affair and experiencing violence that cost her her baby had made Anne immediately decide to stay out of Jack's life. Anne buried her love deeply from the moment she stepped out of the big gates of her husband's mansion in Luxembourg. Initially, Anne went to Germany, riding a taxi. She visited her mother's grave with Linda and Paul, who immediately flew to Germany when Anne contacted the husband and wife. Linda, a stranger whom Anne met on the first day they came to campus, immediately reached out to Anne when she was on her own. Even Linda didn't think twice when she came to Germany, she asked Paul to sell all their assets in London. Anne's flower shop which they had managed was also sold to be used as living capital with Anne in a small town in Scotland, Paul's homeland. After visiting the graves of her separated parents, Anne was taken by Linda and Paul to Scotland. The husband and wife took care of Anne like she's their sister. Even when Anne gave birth to her second child, which she managed to keep after her first baby died, Linda and Paul were always by her side.

That night, Anne asked Doctor Caitlyn to help her save her children. Although at first she was confused, but Doctor Caitlyn finally realized that Anne was carrying twins. Not surprisingly, Anne had twins, genetically it could happen, considering Jack and Alan were identical twins. Their faces were indistinguishable. That was why that night, Doctor Caitlyn had injected Anne with a pregnancy booster. When Anne had to feel the pain of losing one of her babies, she also had to fight to keep her second child alive in her womb. Somehow she gained the strength, and finally she managed to endure the excruciating pain that hit her stomach many times until finally the second baby was strong enough in her womb and managed to grow perfectly healthy. And now the little baby had become a handsome boy who looked very similar to Jack. One thing that Anne, and Linda and Paul, who were taking care of the little baby who is now named Christian Guertin, agreed upon was that Anne gave her late father's last name to her handsome son, which was immediately supported by Linda, who had advised Anne from the start not to give him Jack's last name.

Anne sighed heavily remembering the dream that had been bothering her for the past few days. It had been two days since Linda and Paul had taken their son on vacation to the beach. Somehow, Sean really liked water, not only in the swimming pool, the child also really liked the beach. So, like it or not, every two weeks, Paul and Linda take him to Balmedie Beach, one of the beautiful beaches in Aberdeen, Scotland, the new home of Anne and her two friends.

"It's only four in the morning and I'm not sleepy anymore," said Anne to herself. She regretted her decision to sleep in the afternoon.

Since she couldn't sleep anymore, Anne finally decided to keep herself busy in the kitchen before going to work. During her stay in Scotland, Anne again opened a flower shop. She had fallen in love with flowers too much, especially with Paul's skillful ability in flower arrangement, so they again decided to open a flower shop as a joint effort for them to earn a living in Paul's homeland. 

In fact, Linda was very curious about Paul's family, but Paul repeatedly refused to talk about the family that had dumped him on the streets. Therefore, during the 3 years they lived in Scotland, they only really lived with the three of them without any other relatives. Actually, Anne felt very guilty for Linda who had to drop out of college. Moreover, Linda quit when she was at the top level, but Linda firmly said many times that her decision to quit college was the best decision she had ever made in her life after marrying Paul. 

The three of them lived under the same roof, in a simple two-story house that was very comfortable and warm. Anne and Linda bought the house with the money from the sale of the flower shop and their two apartments in London. Fortunately, the prices of houses in Scotland were not as expensive as in London, so they still have money left over that could be used to rent a shop to sell flowers. In the first year, the shop was still rented. But after two years, they finally managed to buy the shop. Anne managed their expenses so well that they finally managed to own the shop. 

Anne slept on the second floor with Christian, her beloved son, even though Christian actually slept more with Paul and Linda on the first floor. Although Christian was born without knowing and feeling the love of his biological father, so far he had not lacked affection, because Paul and Linda pampered the child very much, Paul and Linda always did whatever he wanted, so that sometimes it made Anne annoyed because Christian was a spoiled child and couldn't be controlled when he was angry and wanted something. The child was very stubborn. He had a really similar trait to his biological father. 

After struggling in the kitchen for almost three hours, finally some of her son's favorite desserts were now ready on the dining table. After breakfast, Christian usually asked for some dessert. That was why Anne always makes a different dessert every day for her son who was growing so adorable. Christian was really a tiny duplicate of Jack. Anne was sure that if Christian and Jack sat next to each other, people would know that they were father and son without being told. 

Ever since Christian was born, Anne had sworn to look after and raise her own child without Jack's help. She had closed all access for Jack to find them. When she left the house, Anne didn't use her debit cards. She immediately threw the cards away on the street after she drained the contents of her money. Actually the money that Anne brought was not a large amount of money and it was her personal money that had nothing to do with Jack's, but still, Anne did not want to be tracked through her transactions using her debit card. Therefore, during their stay in Scotland, they only used the account in Christian's name which was created as soon as the baby was born, so that it was impossible for Jack and his people to trace Anne's whereabouts with Linda and Paul.

Ding Dong

The bell rang loudly and made Anne have to finish her work in the kitchen and rush to the front door to see who was coming.

"Mommy, why did it take so long to open the door?!!" little Christian screams loudly. His lips moving forward in annoyance.

"I'm sorry baby..."
