I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Chapter 382 - The Same Nature

Chapter 382 - The Same Nature

"So the boss is still in Germany? But why is it so sudden? That's very strange," said Paul in surprise when Linda explained why she didn't come back with Anne.

"Luxembourg is directly adjacent to Germany, so it doesn't take long for Anne to return to her old house. After all, Anne hasn't been home in a long time, maybe she misses her parents," Linda answered quietly with her eyes closed, she had no energy to wake up. Making love for more than an hour with Paul really drained her energy.

Hearing Linda's words, Paul nodded his head, because what Linda said was true. Anne had been in England for more than 4 years, leaving Germany, her homeland. Not long after, Paul finally followed Linda to the dreamland. Being able to hug Linda, the woman he loved, was the greatest happiness for Paul. Linda got information from Professor Gilbert directly about Anne's return to Germany, because indeed their task had been completed and finally Anne was allowed not to go home with the other students. That was why Linda only knew that Anne was in Germany at the moment, because until this moment she arrived in England the message she sent to Anne had not been delivered. This indicated that Anne had not activated her cell phone, so Linda let her enjoy her time in Germany.

< Luxembourg >

Anne, who had just finished taking a shower, was sitting and looking at her reflection in the large mirror in front of her. Although she didn't do much activity, her weight had dropped, making her face a little thinner. Being in the Clarke residence had made her unable to do anything. Right now, she was like a bird imprisoned in a cage. Even though all her needs were well met, Anne still felt uncomfortable in the house of the most influential businessman in the city of Luxembourg. Not to mention the fear she had to go through every time she passed Alan's beautifully posted photos in various places.

Knock

Knock

A knock on the door woke Anne from her thoughts of her free life in England.

"Miss, dinner is ready. The master is waiting for you."

A maid delivered a message from Mr. David Clarke, asking Anne to have dinner with him.

"Yes, I'll be downstairs. Wait a minute, we'll go downstairs together," answered Anne quickly. Every time she left her room, Anne always want to be accompanied.

Anne felt strange being in the Clarke family's very quiet big house. There was no laughter that could be heard and it made Anne even more uncomfortable. But right now, she had no choice but to be patient, as Doctor Caitlyn had previously said that she just needed to be patient a little longer because the kind doctor was working on her freedom.

"Are you ready, Miss?" asked the maid politely to Anne when Anne opened the door to her room which she always locked tightly.

Anne nodded her head. "Doctor Caitlyn, is she really not coming tonight?"

"No Miss."

Anne took a deep breath at the maid's response. Without Doctor Caitlyn's presence, Anne felt uncomfortable, as the doctor was the only person she could talk to. Anne, who lost her cell phone, couldn't contact anyone. That was why she needed Doctor Caitlyn to find out whether her friends had returned to England or not, because today was the last day for UAL students in Luxembourg.

"Come on, Miss, Master is waiting for you," said the maid again.

"Y-yes," Anne stuttered.

The maid just smiled seeing Anne's nervousness. Without another word, she then walked towards the stairs with Anne, who followed not far behind her. Not long after, Anne arrived at the dining room.

"Sit down, Anne," said Mr. David Clarke softly when he saw Anne standing beside his chair.

Anne still didn't move. She didn't take her eyes off the friendly master. "Please allow me to return to my home country, sir," said Anne suddenly.

"Germany? You want to go back to your old house?" asked Mr. David Clarke curtly.

"H-how do you know I'm a German citizen, sir?" asked Anne in surprise.

Mr. David Clarke elegantly put down his fork and wiped his lips with the napkin on his lap. "Marianne, 25 years old, single, a student majoring in fashion design at one of the best art colleges in the UK, owns a flower shop and is a German citizen. Is there any more missing information?"

Anne immediately covered her mouth with both hands in surprise when Mr. David Clarke mentioned her information in sufficient detail. So far, she had never told anyone that she owned a flower shop. So, at this moment, she was very surprised when Mr. David Clarke found out about her. Anne didn't realize who the man she had just spoken to was.

"I'm sorry, Anne. I've asked my men to find all the information about you in detail. And also about the people closest to you, but you don't have to be afraid. I have no intention of harming them. I just need to know who my granddaughter-in-law is related to," added Mr. David Clarke back with a meaningful smile.

"No, I'm not your granddaughter-in-law and I wouldn't want to be your granddaughter-in-law. What I want is to go back to England, live a normal life with my friends. Finish college and have a good job, then I..."

"Marry a man you love, right?"

A man whose familiar voice interrupted Anne's words suddenly appeared from the darkness and walked towards the dining room with a very tired look on his face.

Seeing the man, Anne stepped back unconsciously. Being so close to the person who had snatched her future made Anne uncomfortable. Anne's steps just stopped when she accidentally stepped on Noah's foot, as Noah was about to prepare a plate for his young master who had just arrived.

"Sorry, Noah... I-I didn't mean to," said Anne, stuttered, to Noah who looked in pain because his foot was stepped on with her high heels.

Noah shook his head in pain. "No, Miss, I'm fine," he lied.

"B-but you..."

"I'm really okay, Miss, don't worry."

Anne bit her lower lip unconsciously. When she was nervous or feeling guilty she always did it to cover up her nervousness. Alan was immediately shocked when he saw Anne did that. His heart was beating very fast when he saw Anne biting her lower lip. His pants even felt tight again with the little thing that Anne did, even though Anne was not teasing him. Without thinking, Alan immediately walked up quickly to her, then in an unexpected motion, Alan grabbed one of Anne's arms and pulled her tightly before he finally kissed her lips greedily. Anne, who didn't expect to get such an attack from Alan, looked very shocked. She couldn't avoid it and could only surrender when Alan gave her a hot kiss in front of everyone.

"You're mine, Anne, remember that," said Alan in his heart as he continued to enjoy the sweetness of Anne's lips.
