"Jack, is this a real diamond?

"

"Are you sure this diamond is firmly attached to this ring?

"

"This must be very expensive, Jack, I don't want to wear it.

"

"What if a pickpocket sees this ring, Jack?

"

"Take it off, Jack. I don't want to wear it. It's too much for me.

"

Anne continued to protest the expensive diamond ring that was now wrapped around her ring finger to Jack. While most other girls would be fascinated by the beauty of the expensive ring, Anne was the exact opposite. She felt unworthy to wear it and was afraid. She was afraid that she would damage the expensive ring if she wore it. Not to mention the many criminals out there who would eye her ring. Just thinking about it had made Anne uneasy.

"The ring is not expensive, Anne. I can buy an even more expensive ring for you if you don't like this one. So stop talking like that, get rid of all your worries. Because after this, you will be picked up by a private driver, there's no way I let my fiancée takes public transportation to the office,

" answered Jack flatly. He immediately answered all of Anne's questions.

"But Jack, I'm not used to wearing jewelry. My finger is itching, Jack, and I'm not that feminine to wear a ring like this, so I better take it off and...

"

"Try it if you dare!! You'll regret it later, Anne,

" Jack rebuked loudly.

Anne, who almost managed to take off the diamond ring that Jack had just put on, immediately froze. She finally put the beautiful ring back on her ring finger, as she remembered Jack's previous threat.

Jack stifled a laugh when he saw Anne put on her ring again in a hurry. She would become more obedient every time she was threatened. Since the sea breeze was getting colder, Jack finally invited Anne to come down from the tower. He didn't want Anne to catch a cold. Just like before, Jack went down first. He purposely walked in front of Anne to guard against the worst. Descending the spiral staircase as high as 86 feet at night required a high level of vigilance, which was why Jack chose to walk first in front of Anne.

After setting foot on the ground again, Anne hugged her open arms, she only felt the cold wind after being down. Seeing Anne shivered, Jack immediately took the initiative to take off the coat he was wearing and put it on Anne's body.

"Jack...

"

"Don't talk anymore. I'm doing this because I don't want you to bother me. So don't be big-headed, don't think I love you too much, Anne,

" said Jack quickly.

Anne bit her lower lip, trying not to burst out laughing at this moment. It seemed that Jack had misunderstood her.

"I'm hungry, Jack, can't I talk?

"

Thump!

Jack immediately turned to Anne with a bright red face.

"You're hungry? W-we just ate a few hours ago, Anne, and now you're hungry again?

" Jack stuttered, trying to hide his embarrassment.

With a hopeful face, Anne looked at Jack.

"I'm hungry again. Running after those crabs makes me hungry.

"

Seeing Anne's beautiful pair of eyes made Jack unable to contain himself. He was very weak when Anne looked at him like that. Without turning around, Jack grabbed Anne's hand and led her to the car parked not far from the Naze Tower. In the car, Anne looked down the street, trying to find a restaurant that was still open at two in the morning. Even though she had eaten before going to the beach, Anne was hungry again.

"Why isn't anything open?

" murmured Anne quietly as she stared at the row of fast food restaurants that had been closed for hours.

"I'm hungry.

"

Jack moved his hand to her head and ruffled her hair excitedly.

"Jack, why...

"

"Patience, calm down. We will find a restaurant that is still open, sit down, okay. Don't lean on the window like that,

" said Jack, gently asking Anne to sit quietly.

Anne, who understood what Jack meant then sat back in the chair properly. She no longer looked outside by leaning against the window like a child. After Anne sat down properly, Jack then rolled up the window next to Anne with the button on the side and stepped on the gas pedal to find a fast food restaurant that he knew was open 24 hours. It was Anne's favorite junk food restaurant that sells burgers and fries, which now had millions of outlets around the world.

"McDonald's! Yeay!!!!

" Anne screamed with joy when she saw the signboard of her favorite junk food restaurant clearly visible in front of her eyes.

Jack, who was still driving the car cautiously, only smiled faintly. He didn't expect that Anne would be so happy to be taken to a cheap junk food restaurant. Even though when Anne was invited to dinner last night, she didn't show a happy expression like now.

"Come on, Jack, I'm really hungry, just park in front of the restaurant,

" said Anne hopefully.

"Patience, Dear, see, I'm heading to the parking area closest to the restaurant,

" replied Jack quickly.

"Be careful, Jack, there are a lot of cars too. Your car is an expensive car, if it is scratched, it will not be beautiful anymore,

" joked Anne, laughing widely.

Jack didn't respond to Anne's words anymore. He focused on parking his car carefully. As Anne had said before, at the moment the place was full of other cars. After finding the best parking spot, Jack then unbuckled his seatbelt and smiled when he saw Anne struggled to unbuckle her seatbelt.

Jack slowly helped Anne unbuckle her seat belt.

"Be careful, Madam, don't get too excited like that. The key is to be calm.

"

"I'm calm, it's just the seat belt is naughty,

" said Anne curtly.

Jack chuckled at Anne's words. He then touched Anne's pointed nose using his index finger in annoyance.

"Inanimate objects can't be naughty, humans can be naughty,

" he said slowly.

Anne waved her hand against Jack's hand. She didn't like Jack playing with her nose like that. Because Anne had slipped out of her seat belt and got out of the car carefully, she didn't want to scratch Jack's car because there was also a car parked quite close next to her. Jack smiled proudly when he saw Anne who was very careful with his car. Anne really knew how to take good care of things. Seeing that Jack had come out of the parking area, Anne then quickened her steps to catch up with Jack. With the dress she was wearing, it was quite difficult for her to walk.

Jack narrowed his eyes at Anne, who was walking while lifting the bottom of her dress.

"Are you okay?

"

"Yes. Come on, let's go in. I'm so hungry, Jack, the worms in my stomach are going crazy,

" replied Anne excitedly.

"Okay, you just sit down, let me order. The usual, right?

" asked Jack again.

Anne nodded her head in response to Jack's question. After which, she walked towards a fairly comfortable table that was still empty, while Jack went straight to the ordering section. Jack, who already memorized Anne's favorite menu, had no trouble. Back when they were still living in Newcastle-Upon-Tyne, they used to eat this food together very often. After paying, Jack put his wallet back in his shirt pocket and intended to wait for the food to be ready. But he had to cancel his intention when he saw Anne was being watched by several young men, who were sitting not far from where Anne was sitting. With great emotion, Jack walked towards Anne's table. He was seen unbuttoning a few buttons of his shirt and folding his sleeves, showing his muscles to intimidate the young men who were whispering while looking at Anne.

Bam!

Jack immediately slapped the table where Anne sat.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, Dear.

" Jack spoke in a fairly loud voice as he stared intently at some of the young men who were staring at Anne.
