A Drunken Decision ( Annabelle Ross )

Chapter 33 

Annabelle was still thinking about whether it was better to greet or leave when Elizabeth, who was standing opposite her, suddenly spoke. 

“I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have put the fake rat in your pocket last time! I apologize to you!” Elizabeth said stiffly and even bowed to Annabelle solemnly. 

When Annabelle saw this, she quickly waved her hand. She still wanted to build a good relationship with Elizabeth. Everything would prosper if their families were harmonious! She did not want anyone to make things difficult for the two of them. 

“It’s alright. I don’t mind. I know….” Annabelle said gently. Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Elizabeth. 

“You don’t have to think too much!” Elizabeth looked at her and said coldly, “I have no intention of reconciling with you. I merely apologized for what I did wrong. Whether you forgive me or not has nothing to do with me. I still don’t like you!” 

Annabelle’s heart, which had just warmed up a little, turned cold again. She did not understand why Elizabeth just did not like her. 

Although she didn’t have much hope at first, she still felt terrible after hearing her apology- 

“Can’t you…” Annabelle actually wanted to say, “Can’t you try to get along with me? Maybe it would not be that bad?” 

However, Elizabeth did not give her a chance to finish her sentence. She interrupted her very bluntly, “No! I won’t be friends with a scheming woman like you! You’d better give up!” 

“I’m not a scheming person!” Annabelle’s eyes turned red. She could not believe that Elizabeth would think that she was a scheming person. After all, she had not done anything heinous. 

“Look… look… look!” Seeing that, Elizabeth’s anger flared up again. “Why are you crying? Did I bully you? Are you going to complain to my grandpa again? Why are you so scheming?” 

When Annabelle heard this, her tears finally could not help but fall. “You’re scolding me but you still won’t let me cry?” 

“Are you going to cry just because I scolded you? Can’t you scold me back?” Elizabeth said angrily. 

“I can’t…” Annabelle said in a soft and aggrieved voice. 

Elizabeth fell speechless. 

When Lucas and Noah came out of the lounge, they saw this scene. 

Lucas frowned and quickly walked over. He first looked at Elizabeth disapprovingly before looking at Annabelle. 

Annabelle didn’t expect Lucas and Noah to come out all of a sudden. She didn’t want her idol to see her crying, so she hid her face in Lucas’s arms. 

Lucas subconsciously thought that his Annabelle had been wronged. As he patted Annabelle’s shoulder, he looked at his sister. “Elizabeth, can’t you be a little more mature?” 

Elizabeth felt that she was about to explode from anger. She threw herself into his arms as soon as Lucas arrived, as if she had been bullied by her. She acted so innocent as if Elizabeth said something awful to her. 

And Lucas, was just like that muddle–headed emperor. It was fair to say that he could see nothing but only Annabelle in his eyes. 

Not wanting to talk to him, Elizabeth made a face at Lucas and left angrily. 

She was seinfuriating. 

“I’m sorry! I don’t want to cry. I just can’t control my tears!” Annabelle did not know how angry she had made Elizabeth. When she calmed down, he tugged at the corner of Lucas’s shirt and raised her head. She explained in a low voice, “Has Noah left?” 

Hearing her explanation, Lucas, who initially wanted to comfort her, could not help but raise his eyebrows when he heard the last sentence. 

He wondered why did she still care if Noah stayed or left when she was so sad. 

“I can’t ruin my image in front of Noah!” Annabelle explained softly. 

Lucas fell silent. 

So, in front of him, she could cry however she wanted. 

Also, he was thinking if he misunderstand Elizabeth just now. 

Somehow, it could not be considered entirely misunderstanding. After all, Elizabeth’s words were indeed unpleasant. 

After lunch at home, Lucas wanted to bring her back home. However, the elders at home were reluctant, it was not that they did not want to part with him, but they could not bear to part with Annabelle and the baby in her. 

Normally, Annabelle would definitely be willing to go with him, but today, he was especially obedient and was very willing to stay and talk to the elders in the family. 

Lucas could not help but snort coldly when he saw how she would occasionally glance at Noah. He wondered if she really wanted to talk to the elders: He reckoned she just wanted to take another look at her idol. 

They chatted until four or five in the afternoon. Since it was getting late it and it was almost time for dinner, Mary suggested that they should stay for

dinner before leaving. 

Before Lucas could say anything, Annabelle agreed enthusiastically. 

With that, Lucas fell silent. 

Meanwhile, Noah was in a very good mood. He has been smiling nonstop, especially when he saw the aggrieved look on his second brother’s face. 

After dinner, Lucas was about to leave with Annabelle. 

“Hey, this brat! What kind of place does he think his house is? It seems like he really can’t wait to leave!” Mary couldn’t help but mutter softly as she 

watched the car leave. 

In the car, Lucas naturally did not know what Mary was thinking. Even if he knew, he would not take it to heart. Of course, he knew what she was thinking. She must have thought that since they have had dinner, they might as well stay back for a while. Later on, she would even suggest they stay over for the night. 

It wasn’t that Lucas didn’t want to stay at home. Normally, he wouldn’t rush her like this. However, Noah was at home now. Surely, he would not want Annabelle to be looking at his own brother anymore, even though he knew she treated Noah as an idol. 

At the thought of this, Lucas, who was driving, could not help but snort coldly. After all, they were brothers. He still had some similarities with him. However, he believed that his appearance was not inferior to Lucas’s at all. On the contrary, he strongly believed that he was better–looking than Noah. 

He thought that Annabelle did not have good taste. That was why she chose to admire Noah, despite the fact of having such a handsome guy like him. already. 

“What’s that in your arms?” Lucas remembered the paper bag that his mother had delivered to him before he got into the car. 

When Annabelle heard his question, she subconsciously hugged the thing in his arms tightly, afraid that he would discover it and destroy it. 

“It’s nothing. It’s Noah’s photos and poster!” Annabelle pretended to be calm. In fact, she was not lying. She had picked a lot from Benjamin and her father–in–law’s collection. Her mother–in–law had stuffed them all into this paper bag. 

When Lucas heard this, he immediately did not want to say anything as his face darkened. 

“I’m doing this for our child’s own good! Perhaps, our baby will be as good–looking as Noah then!” Annabelle hurriedly explained when she saw that. 

Lucas snorted and asked, “Then you should look at me more.” 

Annabelle fell silent.
