A Drunken Decision ( Annabelle Ross )

Chapter 41 

On the day Nathan left, it started snowing early in the morning. He went to the airport himself while Annabelle and Lucas went to the airport to send him off. When they saw that there was no one next to Nathan, Annabelle couldn’t explain how she felt. 

She felt that she had implicated Nathan. If it weren’t for her, her parents wouldn’t have treated Nathan like this. 

“Anna, I thought you couldn’t come!” When Nathan saw Annabelle, he was very surprised. He thought he was going to leave alone! 

He did not expect that his parents would be so nonchalant about him going overseas. It was fine if they had forgotten the date of his departure, but when they saw him coming down with his suitcase, they were merely stunned for a moment. They did not even show him any concern or tell him to take care of himself, let alone send him off. 

However, he didn’t know that Braxton was angry because Lucas had suddenly terminated their collaboration. Not to mention. disliking him, the Ross family didn’t want to see anyone. 

As for Madeline, there was nothing else to say. She was not in a good mood in the first place since her husband vented his anger on her. Moreover, Annabelle was the root cause of her husband’s anger. Moreover, Nathan was on such good terms with Annabelle. How could Madeline possibly be nice to him? 

In fact, when Madeline took the bank card back from him, she had already decided to sever ties with this adopted son. 

The Ross family was well established, with a big family empire. Raising an adopted child did not mean much to them. If he had a conscience, he would come back to visit them in the future. However, the Ross family would not mind if he did not have a conscience and chose not to come back, either. 

Of course, Nathan did not expect this. He was indeed a little disappointed that his card was taken away from him but he did not hate the Ross family because of this. 

In his heart, other than Annabelle, they were still his closest kin. 

“You’re about to leave the country. How can we not come to see you off?” Annabelle glared at him and said softly. 

“Hehehe..” Nathan touched his head and smiled embarrassedly. “I’m just happy!” 

“Yes! I’m happy too. Our dear Nathan has grown up!” Annabelle patted Nathan’s head and said softly, “You must take good care of yourself outside. Remember to call me if anything happens. You can call me anytime. Don’t worry!” 

When Nathan heard this, his eyes turned red uncontrollably. He did not dare to speak, for fear that he would choke up. He only nodded vigorously. 

At this moment, Lucas handed him a business card. 

Nathan looked at Lucas, feeling a little confused. 

“This is a friend of mine. He’s a professor at the school you applied for. If there’s anything, contact him. I’ve already spoken to him!” Lucas said calmly. 

“Thank… Thank you, Lucas!” Nathan took the business card and said gratefully. Then, he mustered his courage and said, “You have to take good care of my sister. Annabelle may not be smart but she’s a good person!” 

When Lucas heard this, he wanted to laugh, especially when he saw the angry Annabelle beside him. However, he still gave her some face. After all, the person in front of him who was apparently not smart was his wife. 

Annabelle immediately took action. She twisted Nathan’s ear and turned his face to her. “Who are you calling not smart?” 

“Ahem, ahem, ahem…” Nathan coughed a few times guiltily. Seeing that Anna was still looking fierce, he quickly blinked at her. “I’m just trying to get Lucas to treat you better. You’re smart. We all know that!” 

Annabelle was speechless. 

The couple watched Nathan pass through the security checkpoint until they could no longer see him. Then, they left together. 

However, he met Madeline and Ashley, who were pushing suitcases, in the lobby on the first floor. 

When Annabelle saw them, he subconsciously thought of what Madeline had said to her and Nathan standing alone at the airport. 

She didn’t understand. If… Ashley was also coming to the airport, why couldn’t Madeline, have brought Nathan along? Even if… even if he wasn’t her biological son, did they really not have any feelings for him after raising him for 18 years? 

Chapter 41 

Madeline didn’t expect to meet Annabelle here either. She was only surprised for a moment before she reacted. It was the day of Nathan’s departure, so it was understandable that she would come to send him off. Hence, she was indifferent. 

She was not willing to talk to Annabelle. At this moment, Annabelle was an ingrate in her eyes. She had raised Annabelle for 23 years and had treated her like a princess since she was young. She gave her whatever she wanted. Now, she only asked Annabelle to agree to this one thing. Yet, Annabelle rejected her without hesitation. She really could not be bothered to look at such a person. 

In particular, Annabelle had Lucas by his side. Lucas was a wealthy scion who was highly respected by everyone in Dellmoor City. It was not that she had not fantasized about such a person becoming her son–in–law. However, he had broken her darling’s heart. No matter how good he was in the eyes of others, she was unwilling to see him, much less her dear daughter. 

“Let’s go!” Seeing that his daughter, who had always been calm, became dejected when she saw that man. Madeline directly pulled her hand and left, unwilling to say a word to them. 

No matter how good a man is, he’s still bad for you if he doesn’t love you! 

Madeline’s heart really ached for Ashley. If there was a glimmer of hope, she also hoped that her Darling daughter would get what she wanted. However, given her conversation with Annabelle, Madeline did not think that her dear daughter still had hope. Instead of letting her daughter miss sleep and skip her meals for such a man, it was better to let her daughter find a man who may not be so elite but was willing to cherish her. 

Therefore, she asked her man to transfer Ashley away. Madeline did not think that Ashley had anything to do with Lucas. It was only” because she had heard too many rumors that she was tempted. Such a temptation could not withstand the test of time and space. As time passed, her dear Ashley would definitely not think about that man anymore. 

When that time comes, with their family background, they could find her any man she wanted. 

Ashley would turn around every few steps she took. Unfortunately, the person she cared about did not even look at her from the beginning to the end. It was as if she was just an invisible person. She was even worse than a random passerby. 

“Let’s go!” Annabelle raised her head and said to Lucas when she saw them walking away. 

Lucas nodded. “Are you going home or…” 

“Let’s go back to the Ross manor! I want to see Noah!” When she was in a bad mood, seeing her idol would improve her mood. After saying that, Annabelle seemed to have thought of something. “Are you busy at the office? You can get the driver to send you to the company before sending me to the Ross manor!” 

Annabelle felt that she was rather accommodating. It didn’t matter if she went to the Ross manor later. 

When Lucas heard this, he sneered and walked away. Of course, he did not forget to hold her arm. 

“Joe, send him to the office first, then send me to the Ross manor! Thank you!” Looking at the driver who opened the door for them, Annabelle said politely. 

“Okay!” 

“You’re not allowed to go!”
