Chapter 150 - Evil Uncle
Anne's words left Jack speechless. His hands that were still on Anne's back stopped patting.
"What do you an, Anne?" asked Jack briefly.
"Since childhood, I have often been disappointed because I expect kindness from soone. All I got only disappointnt at the end. Because of that, I don't want to depend on other people anymore. I don't want to make myself weak and helpless so that people would feel sorry for . I hate to be pitied," Anne replied quietly.
"You're not a helpless little kid, Anne. Didn't you promise you won't rember that morning of your childhood again? Then why are you still discussing it again? You're currently a very independent woman, Anne. You own a shop that supports two people who need a job when you are still so young, while other girls your age are still arrogantly squander the money their parents gave them. So please, don't rember your childhood. You are no longer the poor Marianne who is helpless and trampled on by people. You are the Anne who is smart, witty, and kind. So stop rembering the past, you understand?" Jack said softly.
"I know, Jack, but sotis I just ..."
"Listen to , I've told you many tis that I'll be the only person who believes in you when the whole world doubts you. You have to rember that, I'm not your music teacher at church, or your godparents who abandoned you after taking advantage of you. I am Jack, Jack who loves you sincerely," Jack replied, quickly interrupting Anne's words.
Bam!
Instead of being touched by Jack's sweet words, Anne hit Jack in the chest quickly.
"Don't talk about love. I don't want to hear that. There is no genuine love in this world as long as there are still many people who are dazzled by money and power," said Anne quickly as she got up from the carpet and got ready to go to college.
Jack, who was still clutching his painless chest, just watched Anne went upstairs to go up to the second floor.
"You've rejected many tis, then what about Aaron? Did you accept his proposal a few days ago?" Jack asked loudly.
Thump!
Anne, who almost climbed the stairs, imdiately stopped her footsteps. She then turned to the sofa where Jack was still sitting.
"I want to give a little life lesson to Steffi and Leon first, Jack, and I have never thought of starting any relationship with anyone. Holding a title of a widow once hurts, Jack. I don't want to hold that title for the second ti. It's not a problem for a man to get married a hundred tis, but for a woman, it's not easy to be a widow, believe , Jack," said Anne slowly and enigmatically, because she disagreed with Jack's opinion and did not deny it either.
Hearing Anne's words made Jack silent. Anne's answer was enough for him to confirm that Aaron didn't seem to get the green light from Anne, just like himself, who never been considered by Anne.
"Well, then get ready quickly. I'll drive you to campus. Don't you have a class this morning?" asked Jack again.
"Five minutes, give five more minutes. I'll be ready in a mont," said Anne quickly as she continued her steps towards her room on the second floor.
"Never mind five minutes, Anne, I have been very patient for two years waiting for you, Anne." Jack thought in response to Anne's words.
Because Anne had gone up to the second floor, Jack then tidied up the plates they had ised for breakfast and brought them to the pantry. Because there was only one plate and two glasses, Jack finally decided to wash the dishes. For the first ti, he, who had been served by servants, was washing the dishes he had used to eat at soone else's house. Anne, who had just co down the stairs, looked very shocked when she saw Jack was washing the dishes. Jack's two sleeves that were rolled up to his elbows made him look sexy and emitted a strange aura that made Anne uncomfortable. Anne quickly stepped into the bathroom to calm herself. When she was already in the bathroom, she walked straight to the mirror and looked at her face. She felt hot.
"What's wrong with you, Anne? You have to be aware, Anne. Rember what your goal is, don't be tempted by him, Anne. You have to rember your mistakes back then when you want to marry Leon because you only saw his good looks, Anne, you have to learn from what happened to you back then. Don't let yourself fall in the sa place, Anne," said Anne quietly to herself, patting her flushed cheeks.

"Anne, let's go. Are you going to be in there for a while?" Jack asked loudly after knocking on the bathroom door.
"Y-yes, I'm just doing my makeup for a while," said Anne nervously.
"Don't wear too much make up, Anne, you're going to campus, not going to a fashion show that requires heavy makeup," Jack said irritably. He didn't like Anne to dress up too much, especially like last night, with that blood red lipstick.
"I know, Jack, be patient!!!" answered Anne again.

"Anne ... don't wear the red lipstick anymore, you heard , Anne?!"
Jack shouted again with a loud voice while banging on the bathroom door. He was very impatient waiting for Anne to co out of the bathroom. He was very uneasy waiting for Anne at the bathroom door. Rembering Anne's appearance last night made him uneasy. Jack didn't like Anne to be the center of attention because of her appearance.
After managed to calm herself down, Anne then ca out of the bathroom slowly. There was a little splash of water on both cheeks that made Jack frown. Without speaking, Jack then approached Anne and imdiately wiped the remaining splash of water on Anne's cheeks using his finger.
"If you co out of the bathroom, your whole body and face are clean from water, Anne, you won't know what will happen in the future if you let the water stick to your body," Jack said quietly while tidying Anne's slightly ssy hair.
"Don't be so nice to , Jack," muttered Anne softly.
"I've been good to you a long ti ago, but you don't realize it," replied Jack briefly.
"I-I'm not ..."
"Okay, we're done, let's go to campus. It's getting late and don't forget to check your belonging. Don't leave anything behind or you'll get into trouble at campus," Jack said softly, smile.
Hearing Jack's words made Anne rember the assignnt that had to be submitted today in Professor Simon's class. She quickly walked to the sofa and put the paper she had made all night into her bag. She almost forgot about the assignnt if Jack did not remind her. After putting her assignnt into her bag, she then walked towards Jack again with a smile.
After Anne tidied up her things, Jack then grabbed Anne's hand and took her out of the room. They then walked together to the elevator which was still empty because it was too early for the workers to go to her office.
"Vanilla, I really like the scent of the perfu you're wearing, Anne," Jack whispered softly when he was in the elevator.
"Don't ss with , Jack, there are lots of little kids," said Anne slowly as she pinched Jack's arm slowly, because at this ti there were about four elentary school children riding the elevator with the two of them. Anne did not want the little children to hear what Jack said.
"Leave it, let them learn ... Ouch!"
Jack could not finish his words when Anne stomped on his left foot firmly. The four children who were in the elevator imdiately turned to Jack when they heard the sound of his scream of pain.
"Uncle, what's wrong with you?" asked a little girl with pink ribbons quickly.
"Yes, Uncle, are you hurt?" A boy with a hat asked.
"The teacher said that if soone in the elevator was injured, we should imdiately press the ergency button so that people outside can hear and help us," said another girl quickly as she tried to press the yellow ergency button inside the elevator.
"Don't, Dear!!" Anne scread loudly as she held the little girl's hand that was about to press the ergency button.
"Why not, pretty sister? Uncle is hurt, sis," asked the little girl who was currently in Anne's arms quickly. She felt annoyed at Anne who was holding back her good intentions.
"Uncle, pretty sister?! You call uncle and call her pretty sister?! Wow, this is unbelievable," said Jack coldly in an elevated voice.
Hearing a loud voice from Jack made the four children cried at the sa ti. They cried in fear because they were yelled at by Jack. The four children burst into tears and hugged Anne.
"Whoa! Evil uncle!"
"Mommy, there's an evil uncle! Hoo hoo hoo hoo ..."
"Pretty sister, help, hoo hoo hoo."
