Anne, who actually understood what Jack said, pretended not to understand so that Jack wouldn't discuss about Edmund again. She deliberately did that so that Jack wouldn't continue to talk about Edmund. And just as Jack was about to start speaking again, she quickly put a finger to Jack's lips.

"Don't talk anymore. Didn't you tell me earlier that we're going to do a lot of things? Then why did you have to bring up those people again, Jack?" Anne spoke hoarsely when she was so close to Jack. This was the first time she had taken the initiative to get closer to Jack.

Jack's mouth, which was already open, couldn't close when she immediately put a finger to his lips. He couldn't believe that she would talk to him like that, even though it was clear that she had always refused him all this time. Without thinking, Jack immediately moved his hand. He grabbed her body and pulled her tight to get closer to him.

"Do you want it?" whispered Jack softly in Anne's ear.

"Jack, don't start again." Anne quickly rejected Jack as she lowered her head, avoiding eye contact with Jack.

"Then what did you mean by that?"

Anne immediately looked up and glared at Jack. "Wasn't it you who said you wanted to do a lot of things with me? Then why are you asking me back?"

Jack approached Anne's face and bit the top of Anne's sharp nose in exasperation. "This is a punishment for you, bad girl," he said quietly without taking off his bite from Anne's nose.

"Ahhh! Jack, it hurts!" Anne moaned softly as she closed her eyes, holding back the pain on her nose that Jack had bitten.

Hearing Anne's moans made Jack release his bite. Actually Jack didn't bite Anne. He just stuck his teeth on her nose without really exerting any pressure, but Anne, who was already terrified, immediately felt pain when Jack's teeth were pressed against her skin.

"I didn't really bite you, Anne, don't overdo it like that," said Jack softly teasing Anne who was still holding the top of her red nose.

"What do you mean you didn't bite me?! Then what is this pain?!" protested Anne loudly.

Jack laughed out loud hearing Anne's words. He was really excited by the woman who was still in his arms. Even though Anne was holding her sore nose, she smiled faintly. She was glad Jack didn't remember about Edmund anymore. Because when he talked about it, he became a cold person and reminded Anne of the old Jack when he was her employee, Jack who was cold and never smiled. Therefore, she tried to end the discussion about Edmund or the others. When she was about to invite Jack to sit, suddenly Anne remembered something related to Steffi.

"Do you know who took our photos and videos, Jack?" asked Anne suddenly. Actually, Anne had almost forgotten about this. However, because Jack mentioned Steffi's name, Anne finally remembered the matter of Leon's photos and videos.

Jack's face immediately changed when he heard Anne's question. "You're still curious?"

Anne nodded her head excitedly. "Of course, I'm curious. Is Steffi working alone or with someone else's help."

"Come on, sit down. We'll have a nice talk by the fire," Jack said quietly, inviting Anne to sit down.

Anne obediently followed Jack's orders to sit on one of the sofas near the fire place. Soon, Jack told the results of his subordinates' investigation after he asked them to find out how Leon got the photos and videos of the two of them. While Jack was talking, Anne didn't interrupt him at all. She was a good listener of Jack, who talked at length for nearly ten minutes.

"Are you sure, Jack? You're not wrong, are you? I can't believe that Steffi can go that far, Jack," said Anne in disbelief when Jack finished his story.

"Didn't I already tell you, Anne, once that person becomes a traitor, then that person cannot be trusted. Even though I have bullied the private detective she previously paid for, Steffi doesn't seem to be deterred. Instead, she did even more recklessly by looking for a female detective to follow you until she arrived. Finally, she knows where your new place is," Jack answered seriously.

"A female private detective?" asked Anne, surprised.

"Yeah, not just two, but ten. That's why my men couldn't detect them, until Steffi found out your new place of residence."

After saying that, Jack then showed the message sent by his subordinates who investigated the problem of photos and videos that Steffi had managed to take in Anne's new apartment area.

"T-this… I've talked to this woman, Jack!!" Anne screamed hysterically when she saw one of the photos shown by Jack.

"Yes, the private detectives spread out, disguised as natural as possible to get close to you. That's why my subordinates didn't realize their presence, Anne," said Jack quietly. He was annoyed that he failed to restrain Steffi's movement, because Jack thought Steffi wouldn't go that far, but his guess was wrong. The woman was really desperate to achieve her goals and that was why Jack decided to immediately marry Anne, so that she could live with him.

Anne, who was still in shock when she heard Jack's words earlier, which told her that Steffi had set up the apartment security officers with female sex workers whom she ordered to tempt the security officers at the apartment to give them access to enter the apartment, was even more surprised when she found out that Steffi had hired ten female private detectives to follow her. She really didn't expect Steffi to work so well to get information about her.

"That's why I immediately marry you, Anne. Even though this marriage was not witnessed by anyone, but at least our marriage is legal in the eyes of God. My life-long promise to you was witnessed by God immediately. After you live with me, I hope Steffi will not dare to do anything further. Moreover, Leon already knows about our relationship, I'm sure Steffi will stop spying on you for now. But that's still my guess. For a woman like Steffi who is reckless, I don't believe that she will stop here," added Jack again.

Anne, who had been looking down because she was still thinking about Steffi being so reckless, slowly raised her face to look at Jack, who was sitting beside her. "So you're doing all this because you just want to protect me from Steffi?"

"Of course not, Anne, I've wanted to marry you from the start. But because Steffi threatens your safety, so I hastened our marriage," answered Jack quickly without hesitation.

"Crap, you sweet-mouthed," said Anne quickly, trying to get up from the couch to leave Jack.

But Jack, who was alert, caught her hand and pulled her so hard that she immediately fell on top of Jack's body again. Because Anne was wearing an oversized shirt, Jack's hand went into the shirt and touched Anne's upper waist and accidentally touched the bra strap that she was wearing.

"Jack...what are you hhmmpphh..."
