I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Chapter 453 - Love In The Air

Rose still couldn't believe Aaron's words. She didn't expect that the boy who gave her the necklace about 15 years ago was now in front of her.

"At first, I didn't remember this necklace either, but when I saw the engraving on the hook, I remembered this necklace was mine that my mother gave me on my 12th birthday one week before we met in Paris."

With a sad look, Rose looked directly into Aaron's eyes. "Do you want this necklace back? But this necklace has been with me for 15 years."

Aaron chuckled at the expression Rose showed. He slowly smoothed Rose's hair that was covering her face. "I'm not the type to ask back for something that I already gave away, Rose, especially if it's for someone special."

"Thank you." Rose gripped her necklace tightly. "But this doesn't mean I accept you, Aaron, I still haven't decided."

"I know. I won't force you, Rose."

Rose was silent. She really still couldn't believe she would meet the boy who gave her the necklace all those years ago. It felt like a miracle to meet again the stranger you met as a child.

The world was so small after all!

Rose and Aaron's fun moments had to stop when Daniel suddenly joined the two lovebirds without any guilt. The bespectacled man even sat quietly beside Aaron, enjoying his breakfast voraciously. Aaron, who was annoyed at Daniel, could only stay silent and held back his anger at his friend, who didn't know his place, while Rose was very grateful for Daniel's arrival because the awkward situation had finally disappeared.

"Why don't you two eat?" Daniel asked innocently.

"I suddenly lost my appetite," said Aaron curtly.

"Doesn't the food suit you, Boss?"

Aaron looked into Daniel's eyes intently. "I seem to have started to not get along with you."

Daniel, who was chewing his food, almost choked. He immediately drank the water beside him. "What did I do wrong?" Daniel asked in confusion.

"No, you're not at fault. It's purely my fault. It's my fault for taking along an ignorant person like you."

Daniel's eyes widened at Aaron's words. His mouth was opened wide in an O shape in shock. Rose just chuckled seeing the bickering between the two friends. She chose to eat the salad that was in front of her without intending to break up the small fight between Aaron and his assistant.

"All my life being your assistant, this is the first time I've heard cruel words like this from you, Boss, it really hurts my heart," said Daniel, full of drama.

"Stop acting. I'm going to throw up," Aaron snarled angrily.

"I'm serious, Boss... My heart hurts, I'm heartbroken because of what you said earlier."

"You better fill your mouth with food rather than saying such crap," said Aaron back.

Rose, who had been holding back her laughter for a while, finally lost it. She laughed until she cried. Seeing Rose laugh out loud, there was a warm feeling that welled up inside Aaron's chest. It was a feeling that Aaron had never felt since the last time he was with Anne.

***

Alan looked at Anne without blinking, even though he was currently being assisted by Nicholas in preparation to leave the hospital. He had not touched Anne for the past few hours only, yet he felt he had missed her very much.

"You're so slow, Nick! Are you so old that you're not as agile as you used to be?" Alan snarled in annoyance.

"I have to be careful, sir, the IV needle is still attached to your arm," Nicholas answered quickly, trying to explain why he wasn't in a hurry when he helped Alan change.

"Ah fuck! This IV needle is just causing problem..."

"Sir, don't..."'

Nicholas words stopped when he saw Alan remove the IV needle that was attached to his arm forcibly. Seeps of fresh blood flowed from his hand immediately. Seeing the silliness of her husband, Anne did not budge. She was still standing by the table, folding her arms across her chest. She did not want to waste her breath by commenting on Alan's very silly behavior. A nurse who had just entered the room immediately intervened when she saw Alan's hand was bleeding.

"My personal doctors, where are they, nurse?" Alan asked coldly.

"They are all in the director's office with Mr. David Clarke, sir," replied the nurse kindly.

Alan looked at the nurse who was bandaging the wound on his hand without blinking. "Do you know who I am?"

"Of course sir, how could we not know when this hospital is immediately steriled as soon as you enter," the nurse replied back.

"Steriled," said Anne suddenly, interrupting their conversation.

"That's right, Miss ..."

"Uh no, no... She's my wife, not a single lady. I don't want any other man to think she's still single." Alan immediately cut off the nurse's words.

"Excuse me, sir, pardon my mistake."

"It's okay. Continue your conversation with my wife. I will be a good listener," said Alan without guilt.

Anne, who had lost her mood, chose to go out. She could not bear to see her husband's childish attitude. But just as she was about to turn around, Alan shouted, asking her to stay in the room with him.

"Don't go, please," Alan whined again for the umpteenth time from the bed.

"I need some fresh air. I'm also thinking about what punishment to give you," replied Anne curtly.

"Punishment? What did I do wrong?" asked Alan with teary eyes.

Instead of answering Alan's question, Anne approached the annoying man who was being very spoiled and immediately brought her face closer to Alan's face. "Many, many plans are running through my brain right now to teach you a lesson, my dear husband. The greatest punishment I want to give you is because you dare to forget me when you promised to protect and guard me forever."

"But I never did that, Anne, I..."

Smack!

Alan stopped his words when Anne suddenly landed a peck on his lips. Seeing Anne take such initiative made Nicholas almost scream. He couldn't believe he would see his mistress going so far. Alan was frozen when he saw Anne had the courage to kiss him first.

"Remember that carefully and be prepared to receive punishment from me, but first you have to get well. I'm not a cruel person who would punish someone who is sick like this," said Anne quietly, half whispering.

All the blood in Alan's body rippled when he heard Anne's words. He really would have brought Anne to bed right now if it was just the two of them in the room. Anne, who was still looking down, slowly touched her husband's face with mixed feelings. All the hatred for the man who had forcibly snatched her chastity disappeared when she found out that the man was actually her husband. Although there was still a bit of irritation, but everything was lost when she found out that Jack, who had been considered dead by people for the past two years, had become her legal husband.

"Are you okay, Anne?" Alan asked in confusion.

Anne stopped the movement of her hand on Alan's lips. "I'm very fine and full of energy."

"Anne..."

"Hush... Don't talk too much. Obey this nurse so we can get out of this hospital quickly," said Anne, quietly cutting Alan's words with a warm smile.

After saying that, Anne then walked away towards the door and left the room, because she wanted to contact Erick with the new cell phone that Alan gave her. Alan could not take his eyes off Anne until she finally disappeared from behind the door.

"Nick, pinch me... I wonder if I'm... Ouuchhh...! It hurts, you bastard!!!"

"W-weren't you the one who asked me to pinch you, sir?"

"Arrgghhhh Nicholas!!!"
