Half an hour later, Annabelle was done with cooking. The two of them did not eat on the dining table and they chose to eat on the coffee table in the living room. Annabelle simply sat down on the carpet.
She didn’t do a complicated dish, just spaghetti marinara.
“Girl, do you always eat just this for dinner?” Alistair asked.
“I am only cooking this because you came!” Annabelle said. She knew that Alistair was a picky man and he would be particular with the presentation of his food. Therefore, after some considerations, Annabelle decided to make Italian food.
After hearing that, Alistair squinted his eyes and smiled faintly, “Miss Xia, do you mind to explain what did you mean?”
“Pretentious people like to emphasize on the presentations. I have no choice but to make this!” Annabelle exclaimed.
When Alistair heard that, his face twitched a little and he gave Annabelle a huge eye roll.
Annabelle simply chuckled and she continued to sat on the carpet and enjoyed her pasta.
But Alistair was actually happy. Because when Annabelle was cooking, the woman had taken his liking into consideration. That pleased the man.
Alistair looked around and then stared at her and asked, “Do you have red wine?”
Annabelle nodded, “Yes, why?”
“We should celebrate this special day. Where is the red wine?” Alistair asked.
Annabelle didn’t ask why and she turned around and pointed at the cabinet behind her, “In the cabinet!”
Alistair took a look and walked over to open the cabinet, taking out a bottle of red wine.
The moment he saw the bottle, he was taken aback. It had surprised the man.
He walked over and looked at Annabelle, “I am surprised to see that you have such great taste, this is a really fine wine!”
“How could I bear to buy something so expensive?!” Annabelle said.
“Then where does this come from?” Alistair asked.
“Song Jing gave it to me…” After saying that, Annabelle was stunned and Alistair was the same.
After that, Annabelle pretended nothing happened and she continued to eat her food.
After that, Alistair closed in and looked at Annabelle, “You are hereby banned from receiving anymore gifts from him!”
“Why?”
“What why? Because I don’t want to!” Alistair said overbearingly.
Annabelle glanced at the man and said nothing. Alistair didn’t continue with the topic as well. He looked at the bottle of red wine and decided to finish it off.
Leave nothing behind!
After he opened the bottle, he poured for the two of them.
Alistair shook his glass gently and looked over at Annabelle, “Come, let’s have a drink to celebrate this very special occasion!”
Annabelle raised her glass and clinked with his. After that, the woman asked, “What special occasion?”
The moment she mentioned that, Alistair smirked faintly and he got closer to Annabelle. The man was lazing on his side and his eyes were seductive. He whispered softly by her ear, “The special day that you confessed your feelings to me!”
“…”
After saying that, Alistair laughed and bottomed up his glass.
Annabelle stared at the man and she was secretly sneering at the man.
The woman replied with a smile, “President Mu, I’m afraid that there has been some misunderstanding. I was simply worried that you might get into danger because of me. So you shouldn’t be overthinking!” Annabelle chuckled and she lifted her glass and took a sip.
Alistair lowered his glass and poured a little more. After that, he stared at Annabelle and asked, “Don’t you think it’s too late for you to deny it now?”
“I wasn’t denying anything, I was simply telling a truth!”
“The truth is, you were lying!” After that, Alistair laughed and continued to enjoy Annabelle’s cooking.
Annabelle, “…”
