Chapter 59:
When she got to her room, Annabel quickly washed up in the bathroom and lay down to rest.
The scene in the bar’s restroom suddenly began to replay in her mind.
The unexpected kiss from Rupert couldn’t be expelled from her thoughts.
She tossed and turned in bed until midnight.
“Rupert, you bastard!” Annabel cursed for the umpteenth time.
She felt that it was all his fault that she couldn’t fall asleep.
It was the first time she had ever suffered from insomnia.
Pursing her dry lips, Annabel stood up and went to get some water, but she found that there was no water in the room.
She would have to go downstairs to the kitchen to get some.
But as she went down the stairs, she suddenly heard footsteps.
Annabel became alert immediately.
It was late at night. Could it be a thief moving around in the house?
Annabel tiptoed and hid behind the nearest door. If it was really a thief, she would have to find a way to remain hidden.

“Candy…” he murmured.
When Annabel turned around and tried to walk away, Rupert grabbed her.
“Don’t leave me, Candy,” he said in a low, hoarse voice filled with sadness.
Candy?
Who the hell was that?
Annabel was totally confused. Candy was certainly a woman’s name.
Was that the name of the girl Rupert loved?
Did he think she was that girl?
“Rupert, let go of me,” Annabel scolded when he tried to pull her down on top of him again.
…
Rupert was so drunk that his vision was blurred. When he opened his eyes, he saw a pretty girl standing in front of him. She looked so sweet and familiar.
All of a sudden, he seemed to have returned to the days when he was thirteen. He and the girl were locked up in a dark room. There were guards outside, and there was also a fierce dog inside.
Rupert had always been afraid of dogs since he was a child, so the girl held him in her arms to make him feel protected. “Dogs are not scary at all. But if you act scared, they will bark at you p>
