Chapter 413 - A Screaming Fan (1/2)

”I like this neighborhood,” Jean commented after they finished eating and he and Marion were washing the dishes together. ”I might check out that house that was for sale that you told me about last night. Where is it located?”

”Gosh, are you serious?” Marion asked in surprise.

Jean nodded. ”Why not? I have a lot of money and I don't have a house in Switzerland yet.”

Marion just laughed at his explanation, ”All right. When do you want to see it? I can find the seller's contact information.”

”As soon as possible. I have to go back to Grindelwald to be with Finland to take care of Aleksis this afternoon. But clearly I will stay in Switzerland for a year until I can take on a new identity.”

”Alright, I'll tell you later,” Marion answered, drying the dishes that Jean had washed and then yawned. ”Hoaahhemm ... it's still early but I'm so full. I feel like I'm getting sleepy again.”

”If you're sleepy, you can just go back to sleep. You don't have work to do, do you?” Jean asked.

”Hmm … no I don't, but I need to take my dog ​​for a morning walk.”

”I can take them,” Jean said quickly.

”No, you can't. You look so sleepy. You're still jet-lagged, right? You should go to sleep, so that you can later drive back to Grindelwald safely,” Marion shook her head and pushed Jean's body into the guest room. ”Go sleep!”

Jean was astonished when Marion treated him like a child and forced him to sleep. He could only shake his head and mumble, ”I'm an adult, I'm fine.”

”Aish ... don't argue. You haven't slept at all. I know your devious intentions. You don't want to sleep now so that later you'll be too sleepy to drive and I would be obliged to drive you back to Grindelwald. Don't think you can fool me!” Marion said in a curt voice.

”Why do you have to send me back?” asked Jean, pretending not to understand.

”Crazy! Do you think I'll let you drive that far in a sleepy state??? Do you think that I won't be worried to death, huh!?” Marion exclaimed as she threw Jean's body onto the bed.

The man was surprised to see how strong Marion was, but at the same time he felt comforted by Marion's attitude which he initially thought was excessive. He scratched his head and grinned.

”Hmm ... are you worried about me? Are you perhaps already in love with me?” he asked mischievously. Marion narrowed her eyes and gave him a very dangerous look.

”Sleep! You know that I can kill you and hide your body in Jungfrau so it won't be found for a hundred years.”

”Can't you make up another threat? Try to be creative for once,” Jean replied, definitely not intimidated at all. He smiled broadly and finally decided to obey Marion's request. After all, he was already starting to feel sleepy.

Slowly Jean took off his sweater and shirt and opened his belt.

”Ehhhh ... what are you doing??” Marion asked in surprise.

Jean looked at her with the same puzzled look.
