I’ll Teach You, Marianne.

Chapter 322 – The First Day

Even though Anne slept earlier than Jack, but still she hadn't woken up when Jack prepared a surprise for her. She actually slept very soundly. Leaving Ganke Inc. Production, let out all her heart to Leon, then being taken by Jack to the York Minster to tie their sacred vows together with a very beautiful wedding dress at night, had made her sleeping very soundly. It was as if it was very hard for Anne to wake up from her dream. She felt like she was dreaming of being able to say her sacred vow to Jack. The man whom she had complained to for years since she first came to England, the cold, expressionless man who had often made her tired of dealing with him, the handsome barista who became the idol of the customers at her coffee shop, the handsome man who was betrayed by his lover, had now made a holy vow with her. Although the marriage was not yet legal yet officially and to the world, for Jack and Anne, the marriage was legal, because there was God as the witness to their marriage, who approved and blessed their marriage. 

The first morning after saying the sacred vows, Jack ordered all the servants and bodyguards in his house to go to the apartment to prepare everything. Jack wanted to celebrate his first day with Anne many times, and this morning, he had prepared everything himself, starting from arranging the flowers that he had spread in the bathtub, the room, the stairs and all the places that he and Anne would go through, including the dining table which was now ready, full of delicious and appetizing food. Jack had arranged everything since early this morning. Even though he had only slept for two hours he was very excited. 

With a stalk of rose that he had picked himself, Jack tried to wake Anne. Slowly, Jack placed the rose on Anne's forehead and dragged it down. The flower went past Anne's sharp nose and landed on her lips. On the first try, Jack failed to wake her. Anne just squirmed without opening her eyes when the rose disturbed her, but because Jack had intended to wake her up like that, he finally did it again. This time, Jack played the rose in Anne's eyes in a gentle motion, trying to stimulate the nerves in Anne's closed lids. And it somehow worked. Anne finally opened her eyes when she felt a little disturbed by what Jack was doing. 

"Good morning, wife," said Jack gently with a warm smile. 

Thump!

Anne's consciousness immediately returned to her completely when her eyes managed to recognize the figure of the man who was staring at her without blinking. 

"W-what are you doing here, Jack?" she stammered. She was very surprised when she saw Jack was in front of her eyes.

"Is there a prohibition against waking one's own wife?" asked Jack quickly.

"Wife…? Aahhh!!!"

Anne immediately covered her mouth with both hands when she managed to remember what she had done with Jack last night. She also now realized that she was still sleeping in the wedding dress she wore to say the sacred vows with Jack at York Minster. Her cheeks were turning red quickly. She was really confused about what she should do now. 

"Why? Have you managed to remember our relationship now?"Jack asked Anne again teasingly.

"Jack… stop teasing me, I don't like it!!" Anne screamed loudly from behind the hands she was now using to cover her entire face. 

Jack chuckled at her behavior. He slowly moved his hand to grab both of Anne's hands. He tried to let go of her hands so he could look at the beautiful face of his wife blushing. 

"Come on, get up, take a shower, and have breakfast. We have a lot to go through today," said Jack softly when he managed to get rid of Anne's hands covering her face. 

"A lot of things? What do you want to do?" asked Anne stupidly.

"I don't want to say it now. You will find out later," Jack answered quickly. He didn't want to tell Anne the truth right now, because what they were going to do today was part of the surprise Jack had prepared for Anne in celebration of their first day as a wedded couple. 

Anne looked at Jack with hopeful eyes. She really wanted to know right now but Jack, who had been very secretive, was not tempted by Anne's seductive death stare. 

"Don't look at me like that, I won't talk. Come on, get up and refresh yourself, do you want to wear the wedding dress all day? Do you want to show everyone that you just got married?"

Bam!

Anne hit Jack's arm hard enough to make the man winced in pain.

"Don't just talk, who wants to keep wearing a wedding dress like this all day. Wearing this dress makes me not…huhh!!!" Anne, who was trying to get out of bed after hitting Jack's arm, was immediately shocked when she saw the scene on the bedroom floor.

Currently, Jack's room had been transformed into a bridal suite. Hundreds of white rose petals were scattered on the floor forming the words 'good morning my wife' among the red rose petals that surround the letters. The other rose petals also formed the path to the bathroom and to the exit. It was truly a sight to behold, which usually would only available in hotels that provide special services for newlyweds. Jack deliberately made all of this with large boxes of rose petals of various colors that he had ordered specially from a flower plantation in Spain. Jack prepared all these alone without anyone's help, and he worked fast to surprise Anne. 

"Jack, this is…"

"I made it, do you like it?" asked Jack quickly cutting Anne's words. 

Anne turned her face to Jack who was still standing by the bed with teary eyes. "Of course I like it, I really like it." 

"Thank God, so my hours of effort paid off."

Beads of tears rolled down on Anne's cheeks. Seeing that, Jack approached her and wiped the naughty tears. 

"Without my permission, you can't cry," Jack said softly. 

"I'm not crying," said Anne quickly. "I'm mad at you."

"Mad? Why are you mad at me? Don't you like all this? Do you want me to do something else? Do you want me…"

Jack couldn't finish his words when Anne suddenly hugged him tightly and pushed him hard, until finally Jack fell onto the bed again with Anne on top of him. 

"I hate you! I hate all your kindness to me!!!" Anne screamed loudly when she was on top of Jack's body.
