I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Anne was silent for a long time hearing Jack's words. She slowly removed Jack's hand from her waist after throwing the rest of the bread crumbs in her hand into the lake for the swans to eat, who were looking at her expectantly.

"Can you grant my wish, Anne?" Jack again asked Anne the same question.

"I left because you asked me to leave, Jack. Not of my own accord."

Thump!

Jack's face immediately felt hot when reminded of what happened three years ago.

"Anne... I-I..."

Anne smiled. She then turned around to face Jack, who was already looking at her with teary eyes.

"Let's not talk about all that has passed, I don't want to remember all that. After all, we live in the present, not in the past. So stop bringing up all that we've been through."

"I'm really sorry, Anne."

Anne shook her head. "How many more times are you going to say sorry to me, hm? Can you really change everything by repeating those words? No, Jack, you're actually hurting yourself and I don't want that to happen."

"I love you so much, Anne."

Anne smiled again. She then grabbed Jack's face with both hands and landed a kiss on Jack's lips gently.

"Don't say sorry again, I don't want to hear it," said Anne quietly.

"Oh, Anne."

Jack hugged Anne tightly, then he repeatedly landed kisses on Anne's forehead, making her hair messy. Jack didn't care how many people were watching them right now, all he had in his mind right now was to take his feelings out to Anne.

Jack had just released his arms from Anne when a five-year-old child suddenly tugged at his pants. The child asked Jack for help to retrieve the balloon which was stuck in the tree which was right beside where Jack and Anne were standing. Because the boy was about to cry, Jack finally complied with the boy's wishes. Luckily, Jack had a tall body so that in one jump he managed to take the boy's balloon.

"Thank you, handsome Uncle," said the boy innocently. His eyes sparkled, showing how happy he was right now.

"Handsome Uncle." Jack repeated the boy's words quickly.

The boy nodded his head quickly. "Yes, you're handsome, but Uncle, I have one more request."

Jack immediately raised an eyebrow. "One more request? What is it?"

The boy innocently raised his hand and pointed at Anne. "I want to kiss that beautiful Aunty."

Bang! An invisible hammer hit hard on Jack's chest.

"What did you say?!!!" Jack shouted loudly.

Hearing the rising tone of Jack's voice made the child immediately cry loudly.

Anne, who was standing behind Jack, tried to reach the child, but Jack swiftly held her waist so that Anne could not move.

"Jack..."

"No, you can't touch him. That's fine, who is he who dares to ask permission to kiss you," said Jack loudly.

"Yeah but..."

"Bastian, gosh...why are you playing this far?"

A man's voice made Anne stopped her words, as did Jack, who immediately turned quickly to the owner of the voice.

The boy who was called Bastian immediately ran up to a man who was running towards them. When the boy arrived in front of the man, who was not much different from Jack's age, the boy was suddenly carried by the man who had just arrived.

"Why are you playing this far? I thought you were lost, son," said the foreign man softly, who turned out to be the father of the boy who had previously asked for Jack's help.

The boy lifted his face from his father's chest and turned to Anne. "Aunty is like Mommy."

The father of the little boy immediately turned his head and looked at Anne, who had been hugged tightly by Jack.

"What are you looking at? She's my wife, teach your son some manners!"

"Jack..."

Jack tightened his arms around Anne's body. "No, you're not allowed to kiss or be kissed by anyone but me and Christian!"

Anne's face immediately turned red, as did the little boy's father who was now looking at them with a confused look.

"Sorry sir, forgive my son. Since childhood, Bastian has never met his mother because my wife died while giving birth to Bastian, that's why every time he sees a woman, he's always like this."

Anne immediately patted Jack's chest asking to be released, but Jack, who did not want to share Anne with anyone, insisted on not wanting to let go of his embrace.

"As Bastian's father I apologize, once again please forgive my son."

Jack smiled. He then loosened his arms a little from Anne's body. "I accept your apology."

Bam!

Anne hit Jack in the chest again. She was very annoyed with Jack's way of speaking. But Jack was still Jack.

"I apologize for my husband, he's a little too much, sir."

"Why are you apologizing to him? I was the one who helped his son get the balloon from the tree. Shouldn't I be the one who was thanked, not you, Anne?" said Jack curtly.

"Jack..."

"Ahem...what your husband said is true, Mrs. Anne, you shouldn't have to apologize to me. I should be the one thanking you."

"Mrs. Anne? You're eavesdropping on our conversation!!" Jack shouted loudly. "Call my wife Mrs. Clarke! Who are you to call my wife's name directly like that?"

Oh my God, Jack!

Once again, the man's face turned pale again. Twice yelled by Jack made him speechless. What sin did he bear to have to deal with a possessive wolf like Jack?

Anne herself immediately closed her eyes tightly. She really couldn't help but feel ashamed because of Jack's excessive attitude.

"I-I'm sorry, Mr. Clarke, I really don't know. Once again, I apologize for my presumptuous actions and thank you for helping Bastian. Once again, sorry and excuse me. Sorry if our presence bothers you both," said the father of Bastian sincerely.

Jack did not respond to the poor man's words. He just stared at him without blinking with a look full of intimidation alternately towards Bastian, who was already very scared in his father's arms.

Realizing that his presence was unwanted, the father and son finally rushed away from Jack and Anne. Anne could only stare sadly at Bastian who was still looking at her from behind his father's shoulder. She really couldn't bear to see the cute child.

"Ouch!!!"

Jack screamed loudly as Anne landed a sudden pinch on his stomach.

"Baby..."

"You're going too far, Jack. He's just a kid and you've gone all that way, poor kid, Jack. Didn't you hear what his father said? The kid just misses the mother he never saw. So actually what he did was not wrong," said Anne, her voice rising, cutting off Jack's words.

Jack raised an eyebrow. "He's still a boy, Anne. After all, why would you think of someone else's child who has nothing to do with us? It should be the child's father who thinks of his child, not us, not you. You are my wife, the mother of my son, and I will never allow anyone to touch you, let alone get your precious kiss. Only I and our son can feel the smoothness of your skin!!"

God, please save Anne from this horrible possessive man!!
