I’ll Teach You, Marianne.

Chapter 698 – New Life New Happiness

< Janne's Coffee, Newcastle Upon Tyne, 10.00 AM >

Anne was speechless when she saw the nameplate of her coffee shop that Jack had bought back. She couldn't believe that Jack chose the name Janne's coffee.

"Why are you still outside? Come on in." Jack called out to Anne quite loudly from inside the coffee shop which had just finished being rearranged inside.

Anne sighed slowly and walked into the coffee shop with unsteady steps.

"What do you think? Do you like the interior of this coffee shop?" asked Jack excitedly.

"Love it, love it. Very much like the coffee shop I used to have."

Jack chuckled and rolled the sleeves of his t-shirt up. "I deliberately asked the workers to make the interior of this coffee shop like yours before."

"What's the same as mine? The name of this coffee shop wasn't Janne's Coffee back then, Jack. You know that, don't you?"

"Haha… I deliberately didn't make the name of this coffee shop the same as back then. Currently this coffee shop is not only yours, baby. This place belongs to both of us, so I slightly modified the name of this coffee shop," answered Jack slowly without guilty feeling.

"Tsk! Modifying it a bit? What are you modifying? You changed the name completely, Jack."

Jack did not respond to Anne's words anymore. He preferred to clean the coffee machine that had just been delivered by the courier of the shop where he bought the coffee machine and other equipments. Anyone who didn't know would definitely mistake Jack for an employee, his skills were truly commendable.

Anne was quite amazed to see Jack arranged all the desks where he worked so well, without the slightest mistake. Even the glasses and all the other furniture were also perfectly arranged in the cupboard behind where Jack was standing at the moment. Jack was still cleaning his coffee machine so that tomorrow when the coffee shop opened, there would be no problems.

"So are we just selling coffee?" asked Anne quietly when she saw that the kitchen was still empty.

"For now, yes."

"But you know that coffee can't just be sold alone? There has to be something else to go with the coffee, Jack."

Jack smiled. He understood what his wife was talking about. "For now, I only want to sell coffee and haven't allowed you to make cookies as a coffee companion like before, your hand is not 100% healed. I don't want things to happen if you force yourself to bake cookies."

"So basically I'm allowed to sell cookies when my hand is healed, huh?" asked Anne quickly.

"Yes, but for that you have to heal first, dear. You understand, right?"

Anne nodded her head quickly with a smile. Her eyes sparkled with hope as she looked back at the kitchen. There were so many plans going through Anne's brain right now. She really couldn't wait for her hand to heal and shop for some kitchen utensils to bake cookies and other snacks.

Jack himself was still focused on the coffee machine he had just cleaned, because he didn't want anything to go wrong at the soft opening tomorrow morning. Jack tried to mix coffee again. Although it had been years since he had touched a coffee machine, Jack's skill had not been lost, but in a short time, there were two cups of Jack's brewed coffee whose arome filled the whole shop. Even Anne who was in the kitchen came out to where Jack was.

"You make coffee?"

"Yeah, do you want to try it?" asked Jack excitedly.

Anne, who was already curious about the coffee made by her husband, immediately grabbed one of the cups on the table. Because it was still a little hot, Anne took some time to blow it for a while before finally being speechless as she enjoyed Jack's vanilla latte coffee.

"Jack…"

"How is it? Does it taste weird? Is it too bitter? Or too sweet?" Jack bombarded Anne with questions because he couldn't wait for an honest review from his first customer.

"It still tastes the same as it did 7 years ago when you first made it for me here, Jack."

"Seriously?" Jack shrieked in disbelief.

"For God's sake."

Jack, who had previously only tried Americano coffee without sugar and milk, then grabbed the cup containing Anne's vanilla latte, his eyes sparkling when he tasted the amazing blend of coffee.

"For the sake of the great god Zeus, it seems that my hands are indeed created to make blessings for many people," Jack joked as he spoke while just enjoying his coffee blend which was Anne's favorite, vanilla latte.

Anne chuckled in amusement at Jack's very annoying words. After enjoying the vanilla latte coffee, Jack then asked Anne to take a selfie as a memento of the opening of their coffee shop.

Using two cell phones at the same time, Jack and Anne posed in various styles like young people who were dating. After taking the photos, Anne laughed loudly because she was amused to see the results of their photos.

Several people who passed by the coffee shop who still had not accept customers were smiling at the intimacy of Anne and Jack who were in the shop. Even some mothers seemed to smile when they saw Anne laughing widely. It seemed that what people say was true, laughter could actually transmit happiness too and it had been proven.

Seeing Anne laughing out loud made Jack really happy. He was happy to see Anne's beautiful smile returned after what they had been through in the past few days. Yesterday, Jack was so afraid of losing Anne, because Anne had not responded to the words of several people who asked her to talk.

Losing a child for the second time was not an easy thing for Anne, especially since the baby in her womb was perfect and ready to be born. It took extraordinary effort from Jack to bring Anne out of her slump. Even though he himself also experienced the same sadness as Anne, Jack was still able to use his common sense. As a person who had experienced severe depression, Jack was able to understand Anne more than anyone and this was well proven, because Jack was able to adjust to all of Anne's ups and downs of mood swings.

From Anne who kept asking to dig the princess's grave to constantly blaming herself for the death of Princess, Jack continued to be by her side, day and night for almost a week. Finally, Anne was able to accept all these facts and was able to communicate well again. She even wanted to hug Christian again after she cursed herself as an incompetent mother.

"So tomorrow you're ready to open this shop, Boss?" asked Jack with a big smile with his arms around Anne's waist.

Anne smiled widely. "Of course I am, you have to work well and don't let me down."

"Yes, Boss."

After joking like that the two of them hugged tightly. Jack repeatedly landed a kiss on Anne's forehead with love. Meanwhile, Anne was immersed in a happy feeling, a warm feeling that she only felt when she was with Jack.
