Chapter 208:
It was only when she stood in front of the mirror wrapped in a towel that she realized something.
She had no clothes to wear.
“Rupert!” Annabel called out.
Rupert’s voice came from the other side of the bathroom door. “What is it p>
“Erm… I don’t have any clothes to wear. Please, can you go to Water Moon Community to get me something to wear?” Annabel managed to say, cupping her burning cheeks with both hands.
“Have you forgotten that Grandpa locked the door? I can’t teleport, you know,” Rupert teased.
“He’s your grandpa. You should be able to convince him to let you out!” Annabel grew even more embarrassed.
“I hate to break it to you, but that’s not possible,” Rupert responded flatly, fully aware of how stubborn his grandfather was.
Annabel fell silent. Just as she was about to call out for Bruce and plead with him, Rupert knocked and said in a charming voice, “Open up p>

She hadn’t dried her hair, so droplets of water fell from the ends. His shirt looked oddly good on her, loosely draped over her curves. Her long legs were incredibly sexy.
Rupert swallowed hard.
“How come you have a set of women’s underwear at home?” Annabel blushed under his gaze. She tried to strike up a conversation to distract him. “Do you often bring women here p>
“Huh? Are you jealous?” Rupert teased, rubbing his chin.
“Answer the question!” Annabel said seriously.
Rupert cleared his throat and said, “I know nothing about that. I just saw it on the sofa. Grandpa must have asked some maid to prepare it for you p>
How thoughtful of Bruce. Annabel was rendered speechless.
“I’m tired. I want to go to bed early,” Annabel said in a serious tone, looking at the king-sized bed in the middle of the room. “I’ll sleep in the bed. You can sleep on the sofa p>
