I'll Teach You, Marianne.

Chapter 30 - Leon\'s Marriage

After escorting Linda to her workplace, Anne stopped her car at a musical instrument shop that was full of elementary school students and their parents. In the shop, the parents seemed to look at some violins for their child. Anne\'s smile suddenly appeared when she saw what was in the shop, her childhood memories flashed back into her mind out of nowhere. A painful memory that made her choose to stop playing music, the first painful memory she got from her childhood friend who took away her chance to become a great pianist.

"No, Anne, you can\'t hate them. Remember what your father said, don\'t be a hateful person," said Anne quietly as she closed her eyes using both hands, regained her self-control, Anne then continued her trip to the bookstore. ??

It did not take long for Anne to get to her destination because the bookstore was not far from the music store. After parking her car properly, Anne immediately got out of her car and walked slowly to the bookstore to find a guidebook that she could actually find in the campus library. However, Anne canceled her plan to go to the library after she saw Edward and his friends being annoying and arrogant. After entering the bookstore, her smile came back when she saw many comics on display. She recently got interested in comics and she couldn\'t help but look at the row of comics displayed there. When she was about to pick up one of the Japanese comic series that she was reading, Anne\'s attention was diverted to a pile of magazines under her feet.

A familiar name caught her eye, with an uneasy feeling Anne lowered her head and grabbed one of the top-stacked business magazines. And sure enough, the last name that she was very familiar with was written on the cover of the business magazine.

"Leonardo Ganke\'s luxurious marriage with his lover Stefany Jouvan became the hottest topic in Germany for one week,"

"The difference in status between the two did not deter Leonardo Ganke from marrying his lover,"

"The heiress finally married a curator in a museum which now belongs to Leonardo Ganke and he decided to give it to his wife as a wedding gift,"

"Leonardo Ganke said clearly to the media that this is his first marriage, the news reporting that he once got married was rejected directly by him after showing his single status in the civil registry at that time,"

"Leonardo Ganke and Stefany Jouvan\'s most romantic marriage,"

Anne\'s hands were trembling in shock reading the magazine article she was holding, luckily she was standing by the wall so she had a place to lean on. After successfully controlling herself, Anne put the business magazine she was holding back to its original place. Anne quietly walked towards a table in the back row. Quickly, she took out her laptop and immediately connected to the free Wi-Fi provided by the bookstore she was visiting.

Anne opened a civil registry website in Germany, she wanted to quickly check on something. After creating an account using her personal email, Anne was finally able to enter the site. Anne then entered her name in the search field with trembling hands.

Her heart beat very fast when she saw that her status was still single/unmarried, even though she clearly divorced Leon two years ago. Anna then entered her divorce date in another column, Anne remembered her divorce date well because it coincided with her birthday. That was one of the reasons Anne never wanted to celebrate her birthday again because she did not want to remember the painful divorce memory. The second search result surprised Anne again because she only saw four couples who got divorced on that date. Her divorce with Leon was not listed on the site at all.

"You are amazing Leon, you changed my status in an instant. You even erased the date and proof of our divorce at the civil registry office, thank you Leon for giving back my maiden status," said Anne quietly, smiling thinly with teary eyes.

"Thank you, Leon," muttered Anne softly, her eyes were closed remembering the atmosphere of her divorce trial two years ago. Where Leon and Steffi sat behind her by holding hands intimately looking at her while she was receiving a divorce verdict from the judge after her request to divorce Leon was granted.

Meanwhile, at a luxury resort on the outskirts of Heidelberg, Leon and Stefii just arrived while hugging and kissing each other passionately. Celebrating their three-day wedding, the two of them were having their honeymoon there. Even though the two of them have lived together for two years, the honeymoon was the most important thing for both of them. After releasing his embrace from his new wife who had a sexy and slender figure, Leon chose to take a whisky on the table. He poured it into the two empty glasses that were placed beside the whisky bottle. When Leon was pouring the liquor, he accidentally dropped a flower vase that was standing beside him and it immediately broke on the floor.

"Leon, are you ok?" asked Steffi from the room.

"Yes, I am," Leon replied quickly.

"All right, get in the room in five minutes honey. I have a surprise for you," said Steffi back.

"Yeah," said Leon dryly, for some reason these days he felt uneasy. There was always something he either broke or messed up for the last few days.

"What had happened to me? Why do I feel so uneasy?" Leon asked himself as he stared at the broken flower vase under his feet.
