Chapter 184:
“Don’t move,” Rupert murmured in a hoarse voice. A fierce passion burned in his dark eyes.
He parted her lips and teeth with his tongue, probing into her mouth. Her heart pounded wildly and her mind went blank. For some reason, she stopped struggling.
Their breaths intertwined. His kiss was like a violent storm—domineering, passionate, and full of longing.
The temperature in the restaurant seemed to rise, and a romantic tension filled the air.
After a long while, when Annabel thought she might pass out from lack of oxygen, Rupert finally ended the overbearing, lingering kiss.
“Rupert! You jerk!” Annabel snapped back to reality and glared at him, feeling both shy and furious.
What had she been doing just now? Why hadn’t she pushed him away?
Rupert smiled brightly, leaned close to her ear, and said, “I didn’t do anything with Heather. Yesterday was my father’s death anniversary. I went to the cemetery to pay my respects and accidentally got drunk. Heather took me to her place. That’s all. Nothing happened between us p>
Annabel was slightly taken aback.

When she came back to her senses, she scoffed and said, “I’m not interested in knowing whether you did anything with Heather or not p>

Annabel asked, “Happy event p>
Was kissing her forcefully a happy event?
Annabel glared at him, and her stomach rumbled loudly.
With a knowing smile, Rupert said, “Just eat. Don’t starve yourself p>
Annabel swallowed, pulled her plate of steak closer, and began wolfing it down. There was no reason for her to stay hungry.
“By the way, what was wrong with Nina today? Why did she cause trouble for you again?” Rupert asked, staring at Annabel.
Nina had tried to push Annabel into the lake, but she had ended up falling in herself and was still unconscious. However, thanks to Cathy and Anakin’s testimony, Annabel would still face trouble.
The top priority now was to find evidence of Nina’s scheme. Once they had that, the matter would be easily resolved.
Annabel sneered, “It’s all because of you. Don’t you know that Nina loves you p>
Rupert chuckled. She was jealous again.
