I’ll Teach You, Marianne.

Chapter 219 – Stuck

Anne immediately opened her eyes when she felt a hand touched her skin. She immediately screamed loudly so that Jack lowered his head because of the loud screams of Anne in his ear. 

"What are you doing, Jack?!!"

Linda and Paul, who were standing next to him, were also seen covering his right ear. 

Jack, who enjoyed his intimacy with Anne, slowly smiled. "Why are you asking me? I should be the one asking you, Anne, how long are you going to sleep in my arms like this? If you want to sleep with me, I'd be happy to take you home."

"Sleeping in your arms? I…"

Thump!

Anne's face immediately flushed red when she realized that she was actually lying next to Jack and using her strong arms as a pillow. Without speaking, Anne immediately got up from the super comfortable cinema chair and immediately stood next to Linda. She acted calmly as if nothing had happened. In fact, her heart was beating really fast right now.

"Thank you, Anne," Jack said sarcastically. 

"Thank you what? Come on, let's go out, the movie is over. We can't linger here." Anne responded nervously to Jack's words as she pulled Linda's hand down the stairs to the exit. 

Linda, who couldn't refuse, finally could only obey when she was forced by Anne. It was too late for her to hold on to Paul, who was now standing beside Jack.

"Come on, Paul, we'll follow our girls. Don't let these two beautiful girls walk in a crowded place like this, lots of hungry lions' eyes will be ready to eat them," Jack said quietly as he grabbed Paul's shoulder gently and led him to follow Anne and Linda.

"Lions? Is there really a circus in this mall? Why are there lions?" asked Paul innocently.

"Paul, there's a bastard lion who's always after Anne. So now I'm doing my best to protect her from being targeted by that lion. You must also be careful, Paul. Don't let Linda be targeted by a lion too, because believe me, if that happens, then you will get in trouble," Jack answered Paul's question softly with hatred. Remembering Leon made his temper rise.

Paul, who was still confused about the presence of a lion in the mall, got even more confused of what Jack's meant by the lions. How could there be a lion targeting Anne in this crowded place? Various questions now appeared in his mind, but because he did not dare to ask Jack again, he finally followed Jack out of the cinema, following Anne and Linda. 

Anne, who was walking with Linda, ignored Jack's call. She was still embarrassed to Jack after Linda told her what had happened in the cinema, where she had fallen asleep in Jack's arms for almost half the movie. 

"How could I fall asleep? It was obvious that he was the one sleeping. Ah, you're stupid, Anne, you're too careless!." Anne cursed in her stupidity in her heart. 

Because Anne was not focused, she did not hear anything that were said by Linda next to her. She was still lost in her very confused thoughts.

"So which is it, Anne? What will you choose? Do you want junk food or heavy food?" Linda asked Anne many times. Winter made her hungry easily. Even though only an hour and a half ago she had eaten the best beef steak of her life at the cinema, now she was hungry again.

Linda finally realized that Anne had not been listening to her words. With all her strength, she hit Anne's arm.

"Linda, that hurts!!!" Anne screamed loudly while holding her arm which was now hot. 

"Now you must pay attention when I talk, Anne. Don't daydream like that," said Linda curtly.

"I'm not daydreaming," said Anne, trying to defend herself.

"Oh yeah? Okay then what was I talking about earlier? Tell me," Linda challenged Anne to repeat her previous words. 

Anne, who was not focused, did not hear anything that Linda had said. She now looked confused. All she could do was touch her arm which was still hot. Jack and Paul, who had just emerged from the corner, looked surprised when they saw Anne and Linda were chatting near the descending escalator. Worrying that Anne would back out unconsciously, Jack immediately quickened his steps towards Anne. 

"Come on, tell me, what was I talking about?" Linda asked quietly for the umpteenth time.

"You were talking… talking about…"

"Anne, what are you two talking about in a place like this? Can't you see behind you? There is an escalator going down behind you and it's very dangerous if you continue to chat here. Don't you have a better place that is comfortable to talk?" Jack, who had just appeared, immediately asked Anne a barrage of questions. He looked very angry at the moment. One thing that Jack hated about Anne was when she put herself in dangerous situation like this.

"Jack! Linda is evil, she hit me earlier. It hurts!!" Anne immediately screamed and clung to Jack's arms, feigning pain.

Thump!

Thump!

Jack's anger that was bubbling instantly dimmed when Anne was talking in a spoiled manner to him. It was something that Anne had never done before. 

Not only was Jack surprised by Anne's change in attitude, Linda even opened her mouth wide when she saw Anne's unexpected behavior. 

"Hurt? What did Linda do to you?" Jack asked softly in a slightly trembling voice. 

Anne immediately stretched out her arm that Linda had hit to Jack with a pitiful face.

"Don't overdo it, Anne, I didn't hit you that hard," said Linda quickly defending herself. She didn't want to make Jack angry with her. 

"So why did Linda hit you? There's no way that Linda would hit you without any reason." Jack gently asked Anne again.

"Hmm that was…"

"Because she was daydreaming, I pulled her back from her daydream." Linda cut Anne's words to answer Jack's question.

"Daydream? You walk while daydreaming? In a place like this?" Jack asked curtly while staring intently at Anne who was in his arms.

Anne swallowed her saliva slowly. Right now, she cursed Linda quietly for making Jack angry with her. "I'm not completely daydreaming, I can still walk well," she said quietly, trying to defend herself, so Jack wouldn't get mad at her.

Jack, who was already annoyed when he found out that Anne was daydreaming at the mall, was now not tempted by the adorable cute attitude shown by Anne. Without saying anything, Jack then put his arm around Anne's waist and gripped her tightly.

"Ahh! Jack, that hurts…!"

"From now on this is how we walk." Jack spoke curtly, interrupting Anne's words.

"But, Jack…"

"Let's go, I'm in a bad mood. We'll find another place to continue our date," said Jack quietly, cutting Anne's words while turning to Linda and Paul, who had been silent beside them.

"W-what do you mean by continuing the date?" Linda asked confused.

Jack thinned his lips at Linda's question. "Let's go home, we'll continue our date there. Back then before you fell asleep, you said wanted a date like a normal person, not a date like this. So I thought about continuing the date at my house. We can spend time in the living room of my house while playing games or chatting. One thing for sure, my house will be safer and you will not daydream like before," he answered excitedly with sparkling eyes
