I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Chapter 383 - Changed His Mind

Chapter 383 - Changed His Mind

Alan just released his kiss from Anne when she kept hitting his chest, not to mention the shouts of his grandfather, who asked him to stop his actions.

"Alan, what are you doing?!!" Mr. David Clarke snapped back when Anne managed to escape from Alan's arms.

"Tell Anne that I'm the only man who can touch her, have her, and marry her, Grandpa," Alan answered guiltily without taking his eyes off of Anne, who was now hiding behind Noah, while covering her lips with the back of her left hand with tears that had already flowed down her cheeks.

"Alan..."

"Isn't this what you want?" asked Alan quickly.

Mr. David Clarke was surprised to hear his grandson's question.. He still didn't understand what his favorite grandson was talking about. "What do you mean? I don't understand. What do you want?" he asked in confusion.

"Getting married, don't you want me to be responsible for what I did to Anne? Okay, I agree. I'll marry her and..."

"No!!! I don't want to marry a monster like you," cried Anne hysterically, cutting Alan's words.

Alan laughed out loud at Anne's words. He was not offended at all being called a monster by Anne. Not seeing Anne for a few days since his refusal to his grandfather's request to marry Anne made Alan uneasy. He finally realized that he could not let Anne go. That was why he went to his grandfather's residence to express his heart.

"You have no other choice, dear, I'm the only man who will be your husband forever. Even if we were to be reborn, I will still look for you and make you my wife, so don't even think about marrying another man," Alan said loudly while continued to stare at Anne, who was hiding behind Noah.

Mr. David Clarke took a deep breath to hear the words of his grandson. He felt sorry for Anne, who was currently cornered behind Noah, speechless. Without speaking, the old man gave orders to the maid to bring Anne into the room. He had to immediately separate Anne from her beloved grandson for Anne's sake. The maids behind him immediately approached Anne. They then asked Anne to leave the dining room and surprised Alan. He quickly tried to grab Anne back, but this time his movement was blocked by Luis.

"Get out of my sight, Luis! This is none of your business," Alan said coldly right in front of Luis' face.

"Sorry sir, this is the big master's order," said Luis curtly.

Alan's jaw tightened, his hands immediately clenched into fists. After a while, he moved his hand towards Luis' face, but Luis, who was already very good at such things, easily restrained Alan's movement.

"You..."

"Sit down, Alan! I want to talk to you!!" Mr. David Clarke rebuked in a loud voice, causing Alan to stop his words.

Alan turned to his grandfather with a bit of annoyance. He wanted to teach Luis, who had kidnapped Anne from his villa, a lesson.

Not wanting to make his grandfather shout again, Alan finally obeyed. He sat on the chair where Luis sat before.

"What is it, Grandpa? Isn't this what you wanted yesterday?" Alan said curtly as he grabbed an unopened bottle of wine.

"Are you serious about what you said earlier?" asked Mr. David Clarke seriously.

"Which one?"

"Alan!!!"

"Hahaha...relax, Grandpa, don't be upset. Of course I'm serious, I want to marry Anne," Alan said with a big laugh as he filled an empty glass with his favorite red wine.

"What is your purpose in marrying her?" asked Mr. David Clarke again.

Alan, who was drinking the red wine, almost choked on hearing his grandfather's question. Luckily, he immediately managed to control himself so he didn't vomit his favorite drink.

"Why do you ask that? Isn't this what you want? I am being responsible for what I have done to her," Alan answered flatly.

"Answer me honestly, Alan, what is your real intention to marry Anne?"

"Grandpa… why should there be a conversation like this? I already said that I want to marry her because I want to take responsibility for my actions. Then why are you still asking for the reason? Is my reason not strong enough to marry that girl?" asked Alan back in a rising voice. He was annoyed by the grandfather's repeated questions.

Mr. David Clarke took a deep breath at his grandson's words. "Then no, if that's your reason, I won't let you marry her. It's enough for you to ruin her, Alan. Anne is a really good girl and very sincere."

Thump!

Alan's chest suddenly became tight when he heard the words of his grandfather. He did not expect heard it from his grandfather.

"W-what do you mean, Grandpa?"

"You're an adult, Alan. It's time for you to think about the future, I have been in and out the hospital because of my poor health. Don't you want to see me smile while holding your children, Alan? Don't you want to give me that happiness?" answered Mr. David Clarke.

"Stop...! Why do you always talk like that?! Grandpa, you will live for another 100 years, so don't ever talk like that. I don't want to hear it," said Alan curtly. "And didn't you want me to investigate who was the main mastermind behind the accident that happened to me 2 years ago? But why do you suddenly force me to give you a grandchild?"

Mr. David Clarke smiled warmly when he heard Alan's words. He knew his grandson would react like this whenever he talked about his health.

"For that matter, you don't have to worry. I have formed a special team to investigate this case. Of course, at the moment, my wish is to see you live happily with Marianne and give me cute grandchildren, so that I can leave this world without any regrets," said Mr. David. Clarke.

Crash!

Suddenly, Alan slammed the brandy glass he was holding onto the floor.

"I don't want to get married if the purpose is only to give you grandchildren! I want to marry because I don't want to let Anne go. So don't expect much from me, Grandpa. After all, when Anne and I are married later on, I will give her contraceptive pills, so she doesn't get pregnant first, so that you will live forever," Alan shouted loudly. His emotions were always out of control when his grandfather discussed death.

"Alan..."

"That's enough, Grandpa! I don't want to talk about this anymore. I'm tired and I want to sleep. I've lost my appetite suddenly," added Alan again, cutting his grandfather's words. After saying that, Alan then left the dining table to his room which was on the second floor.

Mr. David Clarke's old eyes stared lovingly at his grandson, who was walking up the stairs. His chest suddenly felt tight, causing Luis to act quickly.

"Sir..."

"I'm fine, Luis," said Mr. David Clarke quietly, still clutching his chest.

"But you have to rest, sir, remember what Doctor Leo told you," added Luis again, reminding the master of his personal doctor's orders.

"Don't worry, Luis, I will live until Jack gets married and lives happily with Anne. At least, with that I can leave this world without any regrets."

Luis was silent to hear the words of the master. He knew very well what the words of his master meant. As the person who took part in the change in Jack's identity to Alan, Luis felt guilty too. However, because he had sworn not to reveal this secret, finally Luis could do nothing without his master's orders.

Meanwhile, in the room, Anne looked very restless. She was ill at ease because she shared the same roof with the person she hated so much. The only thing on her mind right now was to quickly escape from the Clarke residence so as not to marry Alan Knight Clarke.

"Doctor Caitlyn, where are you, Doctor? Didn't you say you wanted to help me out of this place?" said Anne quietly, as she continued to stare at the open window of her room, occasionally looking at the clock on the nightstand.

Anne had not closed her bedroom window because she still wanted to breathe some fresh air from outside. She was not afraid that Alan could enter her room, because currently her room was on the second floor and it had a height that was enough to make anyone think twice if they wanted to climb up.
