I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Chapter 267 - Officially Move-In

After finishing breakfast, Anne changed into the clothes that Erick had brought from her apartment. She was currently sitting on the sofa while watching Jack's servants tidying up a room on the second floor which would be her temporary room when staying at Jack's house. Jack, who had never done any house chores in his entire life, now looked very eager to help his servants arrange a room for Anne. Jack even rejected Erick who wanted to help out. Now, Erick could only stand beside Anne like a bodyguard while watching his master work with the servants.

"In the last five years I worked with him, I never saw him like this, Ma'am. You are so lucky to see him willing to do all this," Erick spoke in a low, half-whispered voice to Anne, commenting on Jack who was setting the standing mirror position for Anne. Jack knew that many women liked large standing mirrors for their rooms recently. That was why he voluntarily moved his standing mirror to Anne's new room.

"This is too much, Erick. I only stay here for a while. Soon, after I get a new place, I will move out from his house."

"I don't think that would be possible, Ma'am," Erick interrupted Anne's words quickly. "Having known him for more than two years I think you already know his nature. I think it's better if you adjust yourself to living in this place from now on."

Anne immediately looked up at Erick who was standing right beside her. Anne showed an unreadable expression at this time.

"How can I stay here forever though? My relationship with Jack hasn't reached that stage yet. We're just friends… nothing more and..." she didn't continue her words. She was confused about what to say. There was no clear relationship with Jack even though he had asked her to marry him many times.

Erick smirked seeing Anne got confused to continue her words. He now understood a little why Jack was crazy about Anne. Anne was indeed different from the girls that Jack dated before. The naive and adorable Anne had an extraordinary magnetic power that managed to make Jack adore her so much.

"Anne, come here," from inside Anne's new room, Jack called Anne while waving his hand. His eyes were sparkling, showing how excited he was this morning.

Anne got up from the sofa once she heard Jack called her. Her steps were firm as she walked into her new room which Jack had helped tidy up. Anne immediately inhaled the vanilla fragrant when she stepped into the room. Her eyes were presented with a very pleasing sight. How could the new room, which was arranged by Jack and several servants, look very beautiful and aesthetic? Although not all the furniture in that room was in her favorite color, pink. But the combination of various furniture arranged by Jack looked very beautiful. They were matched with some soothing pastel colors. Jack knew that Anne was an art lover, which was why he tried to help to design the room directly.

"How can you arrange it so beautifully, Jack?" asked Anne subconsciously, she was completely mesmerized by everything in her new room.

"Didn't I tell you before that I know you very well? For these kinds of things it's not a big deal for me," replied Jack shortly with a face showing pride after seeing how Anne liked what he did for her.

Anne, who still couldn't believe what she saw, went into the room. She took a look at a few spots that she thought were very interesting. Anne was fascinated by the arrangement of cute pillows of various shapes on the carpet with a large standing mirror beside the cupboard, not to mention the choice of this medieval-style bed lamp that would make anyone amazed at its beauty.

"Jack..."

Jack had expected that she would ask him for an explanation, he smiled and said, "All the things in this new room I bought some time ago at the auction. I wanted to give them to you directly. However, I always forget to bring them when I come to your place," he said slowly, trying to tell where he got all of the expensive vintage items in her new room.

"Yeah… but I mean why did you buy all this stuff? It's too fancy and too much. This… this should all be put up in a museum for display instead of being placed in this room," Anne stammered when commenting on a fairly expensive pocket watch lying on a wooden box with a small pillow in it on the nightstand right next to the bed. Anne could guess that the pocket watch she was looking at had a fantastic price. Back when she was a kid, only rich people had pocket watches like the one she saw.

"I got this watch from a colleague as a souvenir instead of buying it with my money and since you are an art student who understands the value of items like this, I thought of just putting it in this room so you can enjoy it. Instead of keeping it in a suitcase just like that, I'd better put it here so that the historical value of the clock can be enjoyed by the experts directly," replied Jack at length.

"I'm not an expert, I just love it. Besides, this is very valuable, look at the year on the back of this clock. You better keep it in a safe place, don't just put it in my room," said Anne softly as she showed Jack the pocket watch. The year 1840 written on the back of the gold pocket watch. "For a 180-year-old watch like this, it must be very expensive. I don't want this expensive thing anywhere near me."

Jack couldn't believe the price of a pocket watch he got from one of his colleagues a few years ago. He reached out his cell phone in his trouser pocket and started to find out the price of the Patek Philippe Star Caliber 2000 pocket watch which turned out to be from Switzerland. The watch came from a beautiful country, just like him.

"Oh… the price is around $4 million, quite expensive for a pocket watch like this," Jack muttered under his breath as he read an article, showing the brand and price of the pocket watch he was holding.

Anne smiled sarcastically after hearing Jack's arrogant words. She tried to hold back her annoyance and calmly said, "For a rich person like you, maybe $4 million is not a big amount. But for a poor person like me, it is a lot of money. Don't ever talk like that in front of someone who is never near your level. That's the same as humiliating her."

Jack was surprised to hear Anne's words, he threw the expensive antique pocket watch on the bed and looked at Anne sharply.

"I'm not looking down on anyone, Anne, especially you. So don't talk nonsense like that!"
