I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Chapter 622 - Equal Opponent

"Where is my wife?" Jack sounded loudly asking the maid just as he got out of the car.

"Madam is in the garden, sir."

Without a word of thanks, Jack hurried off into the garden to catch up with his wife. Just as the maids had told him, Jack's eyes narrowed when he saw Anne who was sitting on a round swing alone. His chest warmed immediately when he saw Anne who was actually sleeping accompanied by Beethoven's music playing through her smart phone. All his anger because of Chester Lloyd disappeared when he saw his wife.

"Ludwig Van Beethoven again," said Jack quietly as he sat down beside Anne.

Anne pursed her lips without opening her eyes. "This song makes me more relaxed."

"What have you been doing today, honey?" Jack asked quietly, continuing to stare at Anne, who still had her eyes closed.

Anne slowly opened her eyes and turned to Jack who was sitting beside her. "Reading books, relaxing, and enjoying music like this. Isn't this what you want?"

Jack chuckled. "Yeah, but if you want to go shopping, I won't stop you. Your unlimited credit card is ready, you can use it however you want."

"What else should I shop for? Three-quarters of my wardrobe is untouched and now you're asking me to shop again, do you want me to open a boutique?"

Jack's laughter grew wider. "If you like it, I'll make it happen."

"Jack!!"

"Haha ... I'm just joking honey, don't be angry. You look ten times more beautiful when you're angry and I can't keep myself longer when I see you so beautiful," said Jack quickly.

Anne's face felt hot when she heard her husband's words. She quickly turned her gaze to another direction.

"You've come home so quickly, isn't the office busy?" asked Anne slowly changing the subject.

"I have hundreds of competent employees and some of the best assistants, if I'm still in the office they won't be able to work optimally. So I'd better go home so they can work with focus without having to be disturbed by my presence in the office," replied Jack randomly.

"You're annoying, it's better for you to take a shower and freshen up. After that, join me here if you want," said Anne again as she closed her eyes again, the music from Beethoven really made Anne easily sleepy.

"As you wish, Ma'am," Jack answered quickly.

After saying that, Jack then landed a kiss on Anne's forehead. Jack decided not to disturb his wife's leisure time by discussing his and Chester's meeting a while ago. He tidied up the small blanket that covered Anne's body before finally returning to the house to freshen up as Anne had instructed him to.

Anne went back to sleep when Jack had left. The breeze and clean air made Anne felt comfortable in the garden, especially accompanied with her favorite song, one of the songs her mother had played when she was a child. That was why Anne really liked Ludwig Van Beethoven's Symphony No. 9, which was very famous.

When he had just stepped into the house, Jack had already ordered some maids to go to the garden, accompanying Anne, who was sleeping on the swing. After making sure the maids approached his wife, Jack then went to the second floor to go to his bedroom. The atmosphere at home became very quiet with Christian's absence, but Jack felt calm because there was Anne beside him, unlike two years ago where he was very lonely without the presence of his wife and children.

Once in the room, Jack immediately proceeded to go to the bathroom. He didn't take off his clothes when he stood under the cold shower. Jack deliberately chose to take a cold shower to cool down his heated brain, as he recalled Chester Lloyd's words.

"Fuck! How dare he ask me for a divorce from Anne? You asshole, don't ever dream of getting my wife," Jack cursed angrily while hitting the wall in front of him.

Because of the severity of the blow, Jack didn't realize he had injured his hand, Chester Lloyd's words were really very disturbing him. Moreover, the man openly indicated that he wanted Anne to be his wife. Jack had now decided to hate everyone who had hazel eyes. Because Sophia and her parents, Edmund and his father, Johnny, also had hazel eyes. Even Giselle also turned out to have hazel eyes, one thing that Jack didn't realize because Giselle had been wearing contact lenses to help her see. And now Chester Lloyd, someone he just met, turned out to also have hazel eye color which for a while was very rare, but that rarity was actually owned by people who had caused problems in Jack's life.

Luckily Christian inherited the color of his eyes, when in fact Christian could inherit the color of Anne's eyes. Because Anne had a spectrum of colors in her eyes that could pass on any eye color to her child, but apparently the genes in Jack's body were stronger, so Christian inherited the color of his eyes, which Jack was very grateful for.

Chester Lloyd, who had just returned to his office after looking for coffee outside, seemed to be daydreaming alone. His accidental meeting with Jack made him uneasy at the moment. He remembered all the words Jack had said, including the threat about Jack's ability to throw him off from his current position. He had achieved the position with a lot of hard work and struggle, after years of being involved in politics.

"How strong is that guy named Jackson Knight Clarke, Mike?" Chester asked quietly to his assistant named Michael Angelo.

"Y-you're asking about Jackson Patrick Muller, sir?" Michael asked Chester back.

"Jackson Knight Clarke, Mike. Not Jackson Patrick Muller. Was my speech not so clear that you couldn't hear my question well?" Chester asked again in a high pitched voice.

Michael swallowed quickly. "Jackson Knight Clarke used to be named Jackson Patrick Muller, sir. The man changed his last name at the request of his grandfather David Clarke who is a descendant of the nobility in Luxembourg, the Clarke family's wealth is spread across various countries in Europe, Asia, and even penetrated the Australian continent. In fact, from the last info I heard, they started to invade America. So you could say the family has enormous power and is very influential. That's why many people are afraid and envious of them. Jackson Knight Clarke's twin brother named Alan Knight Clarke had died in an accident that was planned by his best friend, because he wanted to seize his inheritance. Finally, Jack appeared and made the mastermind of the accident that killed his twin brother was punished severely a few years ago, the case of Jack's twin brother accident was closed before until finally Jack appeared and reopened after they collected all the evidence. You'd better not get into trouble with him, sir. Jackson Knight Clarke has a crew of ex-hit assassins whose cases are cleared. You better stay away from him if you don't want to get into trouble."

Chester Lloyd clenched his fists on the table, his jaw clenched in annoyance. "He doesn't seem like an easy opponent for me," Chester muttered under his breath.
