When Annabelle heard that, she was stunned and she turned her head back. The moment she saw Alistair’s glimmering eyes, she felt as if her heart was struck.
After she came back to her senses, she said, “Wasn’t you asleep?”
“How can I sleep when you are watching me and caring for me like that?” As he said that, he pulled her back into his hug again.
The moment Annabelle fell on him and breathed in his distinctive scent, the scene from earlier flashed in her mind.
“Alistair, if you dare to do anything again, you better don’t blame me!” Annabelle tried to struggle but she just couldn’t break free. And finally, she gave him a word of warning.
When Alistair heard her, his lips curled up, “What do you mean by ‘do anything’? Kissing you?” He said mirthfully.
“Alistair!!” Annabelle frowned and glared furiously at him. However, she noticed that there was nothing she could do against him.
Alistair smirked and he hugged her gently. He stared right into her eyes and said with an enticing voice, “Be gentler. I like it when you are gentle, just like usual.”
When Annabelle heard that, she was stunned and she turned her head towards Alistair. The lights were shining gently on his face and he was just seductively charming. Not only that, Alistair seemed to be a little different today, he was more down to earth and serious.
She blinked her eyes and didn’t know what to say.
At that time, Alistair stared at her face and smiled heartily.
“What are you laughing at?” Annabelle stared frowningly at him and asked.
“Did anyone tell you that you are just as beautiful without makeup?” Alistair looked at her and complimented genuinely.
Annabelle was an exceptional beauty, one in a million. Even if she didn’t put any makeup on, she would look just as beautiful.
She had natural long and thick eyelashes. Her skin was porcelain white and the only difference was her lips. At that time, her lips were of pinkish hue without her lipstick.
“No!” Annabelle said.
“Good, then I would be the first one telling you that!” Alistair said.
When he said that, her lips curled up, “Really? But I had never done any makeup two years ago and I haven’t seen you complementing me!”
“Annabelle, are you getting conceited now? If it weren’t for your deception two years ago, acting all repulsive to deceive me, we wouldn’t have ended up like that!”
“Are you blaming me now?!”
“Isn’t that the truth?”
After hearing that, Annabelle got up immediately and said, “Yes, it is my fault indeed. Therefore, President Mu, if you are not tired, hurry and go home!” Annabelle said.
Alistair simply lied back without moving, “I don’t think I will be able to go back tonight!”
“Why?!”
“I’m tired and my body hurts. I don’t think I am fit to drive!” Alistair said in a soft voice and made a pained expression.
Annabelle frowned.
The man wasn’t like this a few seconds ago!
“Then are you telling me that you will be spending the night here?”
Alistair nodded immediately, “Why not?”
“You can’t do that! President Mu, if you do that, others might misunderstand!” Annabelle said.
When Alistair heard that, he frowned, “Annabelle, since when were you so worried about others’ opinions? If both you and I say nothing, who could know?”
“Besides that, if I hadn’t opened my eyes just now, didn’t you allowed me to spend the night here by covering me with the blanket?”
Alistair stared at Annabelle and enunciated. The man’s sounded logical and Annabelle just couldn’t say anything in return.
