I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Chapter 394 - Hunger

Anne woke up as she felt starved, after only having two spoonfuls of cake all day yesterday. The wedding ceremony and the reception party afterwards were too much for her that she had lost her appetite due to nervousness. She only felt hungry this morning. She slowly opened her eyes and immediately realized that there was something wrong with her sleeping position. She tried to remember what happened last night before going to bed.

Thump!

"Th-this is not the couch," said Anne quietly when she realized that right now she wasn't lying on the sofa, but on the bed with a big hand wrapped around her stomach..

"Aaa.....hmmpp."

Anne shut her mouth tightly when she realized that she had been moved into bed with Alan holding her tightly now. Without turning, Anne could tell that the man who had become her husband was lying beside her. Anne could feel his breath on her neck, it was hot and it made her uneasy.

Anne carefully tried to free herself from Alan. One by one, she lifted Alan's fingers from the top of her stomach until finally his big hand could be completely separated from her waist. As soon as she managed to escape from her husband's arms, she immediately got out of bed. She tried as carefully as possible not to make any sound when she got down so as not to wake Alan.

"Thank God," Anne muttered under her breath when she managed to get her foot on the floor.

Without thinking, Anne rushed to the bathroom to clean herself before going to the kitchen to find food. The hunger had overcome all the feelings of shame and discomfort from her at the moment. She really didn't care about her new status as the daughter-in-law of the Clarke family. All she knew was that she had to eat immediately, because she could no longer contain her hunger. Wearing a knee-length mini dress with tropical flowers, Anne then left the room, leaving Alan, who was still fast asleep on the bed, hugging two pillows that Anne had previously arranged in such a way as she got out of bed. She did this so that Alan would not notice that she was no longer in bed.

Because it was still very early in the morning, not all of the maids were doing their respective routine activities. They were still getting ready with their work equipment in the storage area before finally going to their respective posts to do their job, except for the cooks who had been in the kitchen since an hour ago to make breakfast for about 20 employees who worked at the Clarke family residence. When some of the maids were about to start working, they were very surprised to see Anne coming down the stairs.

"Miss..."

"Hush... don't be surprised it's me. Alan will wake up later. I want to prepare breakfast for him," said Anne spontaneously when she met several maids who almost screamed when they saw her.

"So you want to surprise the young master in the morning?"

Anne immediately nodded her head quickly while smiling to hide her nervousness. Knowing the lady's plan, some of the maids seemed to be giggling because they didn't expect that their new lady really cared about her husband. Anne really felt awkward being stared at by the 6 maids. The situation finally ended when Noah appeared from behind. While he was checking the condition of the kitchen, he vaguely heard the conversation of some of his maids who he had just assigned to clean the garden area which was used as a place for drinking together by the groom and his friends. Noah quickly went straight to the maids to check on them. However, when he saw that Anne was there standing on the stairs conversing with his subordinates, his intentions immediately disappeared, because he knew that the maids were talking to the wife of his young master.

"Morning, Miss," Noah greeted with his hoarse voice, startling the maids standing in front of Anne. Realizing their mistake, the maids rushed to leave Anne to do the work that Noah had given before.

Anne just smiled faintly when she saw the maids, who had previously spoken to her, just left because they were afraid of Noah. They immediately ran to the back garden area to clean up the remnants of last night's party without daring to look back.

"It's not their fault, Noah, I invited them to talk," said Anne quietly, trying to explain what really happened.

"Oh I see, no wonder they don't start working right away. But, Miss, why are you up so early?" Noah immediately asked Anne a question.

"Ah yes, I wanted to make breakfast for Alan," replied Anne, still lying.

"Why do you have to bother, Miss? There are five cooks and they are excellent chefs who are directly selected by the Master through strict selection. So you don't have to bother yourself, Miss, everything has been done by the experts, and they don't need assistance. I also don't want to make the young master angry at me for letting his wife to touch the kitchen area," Noah said at length, persuading her not to go to the kitchen.

Anne cursed her meeting with Noah which made her unable to carry out her plan to find food in the kitchen, because what Noah said was true. The Clarke family residence already had several professional cooks who, of course, would not need her help, especially since her position is the new daughter-in-law in the Clarke family who is the wife of the only successor to the Clarke family, the young master who is greatly feared by all the servants in the residence.

"So I really can't touch the kitchen area, Noah?" Anne asked Noah quietly to hide her frustration.

"No Miss, I'm sorry. I don't want to upset the young master," Noah replied firmly.

"But Noah I... I'm …"

"Again, I'm sorry, Miss. I really don't dare to get into trouble with Young Master, Miss. Please do consider us, Miss, you don't wish to see us get fired right away by Young Master for letting you touch the cooking utensils in the kitchen, right? We all have families to support, Miss. Won't you feel sorry to poor people like us if we lose your job, Miss? Especially in times like this, it's very difficult to find a comfortable job like this family home, Miss," said Noah, quickly cutting off Anne's words.

Hearing Noah's words make Anne go awry. She certainly didn't want to cause trouble for the maids at the Clarke household. But on the other hand, she really couldn't hold his hunger any longer, suddenly Anne sat down on the stairs looking down. The sound of her crying was immediately heard which made Noah panicked.

"Miss, what are you doing? Is there something wrong with what I said, Miss? If indeed I have hurt you, please forgive me, Miss, but please don't cry, Miss... I don't want to..."

"I'm hungry, Noah hoo hoo... I'm actually really hungry, I haven't eaten anything since yesterday. So I'm starving right now hoo hoo..."

Thump!

"Y-you're … starving, Miss?" Noah asked surprised.
