Chapter 97:
Annabel looked down and checked her clothes. Fortunately, she was fully dressed.
Just then, Rupert pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing Annabel awake and sitting on the bed, he said with a faint smile, “You’re awake p>
“Why am I here?” Annabel demanded, ignoring his question.
Rupert looked at her and shrugged. “It’s easy to catch a cold sleeping alone on the sofa p>
So… Rupert had put her in his bed.
Annabel became a little embarrassed.
“There is breakfast in the dining room. You can go and have it. I’m working from home today, and I’ve granted you leave. If you need anything, come to my study,” Rupert said and went to his study.
Annabel looked up at the time. It was almost ten o’clock.
Luckily, Rupert had granted her leave. She decided to go to work after breakfast.
Annabel got off the bed and made her way to the dining room. To her surprise, she found quite a rich breakfast on the dining table. So she sat down and began to eat happily.
Just then, the doorbell rang.
Annabel frowned and wondered who would come at this time.
When she got up and went to open the door, she saw a tall and beautiful young girl. It was Cathy.
Cathy was wearing a white dress and holding a mug, her face lit with a bright smile. But at the sight of Annabel, the smile vanished. “Annabel, why are you here?” she asked in displeasure.
“What do you mean? Can’t I stay at my fiancé’s place?” Annabel retorted. “And you, why did you come here so early in the morning p>
“Where is my cousin?” Cathy asked, looking around the living room.
The previous night, Rupert had called home and told them that he would rest at Water Moon Community. Hearing this, Cathy felt very disappointed. It meant she wouldn’t be able to see him.
When morning came, she asked Tracy about it and learned that Annabel hadn’t come back the previous night either.
Cathy became alarmed. She cooked breakfast early in the morning and went to Benton Group, intending to use bringing Rupert breakfast as an excuse to see him.
But Finley informed her that Rupert had asked for leave. To her surprise, Annabel didn’t come to work either.
Cathy immediately rushed over to Water Moon Community, and as she feared, she saw Annabel.
This meant that, throughout the night, Annabel had stayed with Rupert.
Ignoring Cathy, Annabel returned to the dining room and continued with her breakfast elegantly.
Cathy decided to let herself in and walked toward the dining room on her high heels.
There was breakfast on the table. At a single glance, Cathy could see that it had been cooked by Rupert himself.
