Annabelle looked back at Alpha.
Alpha lowered his handsome eyelids and focused on reading the newspaper. He did not even raise his head. “Deacon will be back soon. It’s so late. He should be hungry.”
“Okay, I’ll do it now,”
Annabelle immediately went into the kitchen and cooked dinner for Deacon.
Alpha looked up. His deep narrow eyes stared through the kitchen glass window. Annabelle had already put on a small floral apron. She washed her hand, as she was about to start preparing the food.
Staring at her through the dim yellow light, Alpha could see the gentleness and beauty of a home. Alpha found it difficult to look away.
Reuben looked at his master. He felt that his boss was too cun ning. He had not even called Deacon. How would Deacon know that his mother was here? And moreover, Deacon was to spend the entire evening at the company’s annual party.
Reuben looked at the newspaper in his boss’s hands.
“Hey, sir, you’ve got the newspaper upside down!”
he informed him.
After a while, a phone rang out.
It was Annabelle’s phone that rang. Her phone was in her bag, which was on the sofa.
Alpha put down the financial newspaper in his hand and he stood up. He opened her bag and took out Annabelle’s phone.
The name displayed on the screen was Marcus Bennett.
Alpha hadn’t forgotten the nameMarcus Bennett. Marcus was Annabelle’s first love.
Marcus was a name Alpha knew a long time ago, but to Mr. Armstead, the name was still fresh in his mind. Back then, the daughter of the Midas family. Annabelle, had countless suitors. She was a celebrity. but she already had a boyfriend, and her boyfriend was Marcus. It was rumoured that Marcus and Annabelle grew up as childhood sweethearts. Marcus was good at drawing, while Annabelle liked designing. The two of them were not in a good situation, but they supported each other and grew up together. If that arcident hadn’t occured, Annabelle would have married Marcus and became his wife. It was a pity that the Midas Family were in an economic crisis. The entire capital chain was cut off overnight. And there only way their business could be saved, was by Anabelle marrying Alpha. Annabelle was left with no choice, hence she married Alpha. Alpha always understood that he was the one who stole Annabelle from Marcus. He had always known that Annabelle did not like him at all. Sure enough, on their wedding day, Lily came to inform him that Annabelle was with Rory. When he got to where there were, Annabelle was in Marcus’s arms. Alpha narrowed his handsome eyes and jilted back to reality. He looked at the words “Marcus. Bennett”
on the screen, and smiled. She had just returned from Visionary, yet she had contacted Marcus so quickly. Alpha took her phone and walked to the kitchen. Annabelle was preparing dinner in the kitchen when she heard a series of familiar ringtone, it was as if her phone was ringing. Annabelle quickly looked back. She immediately saw a calm figure by the door. Alpha was leaning lazily on the door frame, and one of his hand was in his trousers pocket, and he was staring at her with her phone in his hand.
Why was her phone in his hands? She remembered that her phone should be in her bag. How could he mess with her things?
“Your phone is ringing. It’s a call from Marcus,”
Alpha reached out and handed her the phone. Annabelle quickly raised her eyes to look at Alpha, wanting to see the reaction on his face. On the night of their wedding, he brought her back and Marcus almost lost his life. Annabelle was disappointed, as Alpha’s face was devoid of emotions. His deep narrow eyes looked at her quietly. Annabelle’s heart sk ipped a beat. The Alpha before her seemed different from the Alpha she knew twenty years ago. The Alpha before her didn’t seem to have much reactions to things like he did in the past. He now had a way of perfectly concealing his emotions. But Annabelle knew that the calmer he was, the more storms were accumulating beneath him. “Give it to me,”
Annabelle stretched out her hand to collect the phone. But she didn’t receive it, because Alpha suddenly raised his hand above his head. What was he doing? “Give me my phone,”
Annabelle stood on tiptoe, as she trued to reach his hand. The moment she stepped closer, Alpha suddenly lowered his head and leaned forward. Annabelle was stunned. She did not expect him to act like this. Now that his handsome face was close to her, she could see his spotless face. His warm breath sprayed onto her skin, and their breathes entangled. Annabelle wanted to retreat, but at this moment, she heard Alpha’s low voice asking. “You and Marcus are on good terms again? To what extent? Are you two kissing, hugging, or, did you two go to bed with each other?””
Annabelle’s pupils shrank. Why did he say that? Alpha’s sudden question made her feel a little dazed. Time seemed to have gone back to many years ago. Annabelle quickly took two steps back. Her beautiful face was red, but her eyes were calm. She looked at him, and said, “Mr. Armstead, this is my personal issue. If you continue like this, then I’ll leave immediately.”
Alpha looked at her and handed her the phone without saying anything else.
Annabelle pressed the answer button. “Hello, Marcus,”
she said into the phone. Marcus’s warm voice quickly passed over from the other end, “Annabelle, where are you now? Do you have time tonight? Let’s have dinner together.”
Because Alpha did not leave, he was still leaning lazily by the door. He had planned to stand here and listen to what they were talking about, so Annabelle walked forward, she turned her back and whispered, “Marcus, I don’t have time right now.”
Marcus quickly heard the strangeness in Annabelle’s voice, “Annabelle, what’s the matter with you? Where are you now? I’ll pick you up.”
Annabelle wanted to say something, but then she heard Alpha’s low and magnetic voice, “You can ask Marcus to pick you up, but you better forget about seeing my son.”
Annabelle looked back at Alpha, only to see Alpha staring at her coldly, then he turned around and went upstairs. “Annabelle, where are you now? Did I hear… Alpha’s voice?”
After so many years, Marcus was also deeply impressed by the man Alpha was. Annabelle knew that Marcus had a good personality. She did not want to have a conflict with him, nor did she want Alpha to meet Marcus again. “Marcus, I’m a little busy right now. I’ll talk to you when I have time.”
“Annabelle, why are you with Alpha again? He’s a devil, have you forgotten? You’re in danger now. I’ll pick you up now.”
“Marcus, you really don’t need to come over. That’s it, I’ll hang up now,”
Annabelle lung up. After hanging up, Annabelle cooked a few more dishes. It was very late, but Deacon had not returned yet. Annabelle took off her apron and walked out. At this moment, Reuben walked over, “Mrs. Annabelle, are you leaving?”
Annabelle nodded, “Yes, please tell Mr. Armstead. It’s late. I’ll leave now. I’ll meet Deacon when I get the chance.”
With that, Annabelle left.
Upstairs, in the study. Reuben reported in a low voice, “Sir, Mrs. Annabelle has left.”
Alpha sat on the office chair. He was smoking a cigarette between his slender fingers. The smoke obscured his handsome face. A few seconds later, he calmly took out his phone and made a call. What he said was very simple. “Make it rain throughout the city. The more rain, the better.”
Anabelle left the villa, but as she walked on the lawn, she felt raindrops, the size of beans hitting her. It was actually raining.
Just a while ago, the weather was fine, and the weather forecast didn’t mention rain tonight. Yet, it was raining now.
The rain was heavy, pouring rain. Anabelle didn’t have an umbrella and was immediately soaked.
“Madam Anabelle, it’s raining. It’s impossible to walk in this heavy rain. You should go back to the villa and wait for the rain to stop before leaving.”
Butler Paulo hurriedly came over with an umbrella.
Anabelle had no choice. The rain was too unusual and intense. “Thank you, Butler Paulo.”
Anabelle could only return to the villa.
Inside the villa, Anabelle took a towel and wiped off the water droplets on her body. At this moment, the deep, magnetic voice from upstairs sounded, “Go take a hot bath and change out of your wet clothes.”
Anabelle looked up, and Lord Alpha walked out of the study. He was now standing on the stairs, looking down at her.
“No need, I’ll leave once the rain subside a bit.”
Anabelle politely declined.
Lord Alpha didn’t speak, his gaze darkly fixed on her.
Anabelle keenly felt his eyes roaming over her. She lowered her eyes and glanced at herself. Her silk gown was already soaked, clinging to her body. The silk gown was already figure-hugging, and now, with the added dampness, it accentuated her curves even more. The dress had a high slit, revealing her shapely legs, which Lord Deacon was now fixated on.
Anabelle and Lord Alpha were together too early, at the age of 19. Apart from him, she had hardly any contact with other men, so she was reserved and modest in this regard.
As he continued to gaze at her, Anabelle’s fair face quickly turned red. She shot him an angry glare with her almond-shaped eyes -what a rascal!
Seeing her blushing in embarrassment, Lord Alpha smirked slightly. He noticed that she hadn’t changed at all in this aspect she couldn’t handle even the slightest teasing.
As long as he teased her a bit, her face would turn red.
“Why are you glaring at me? I kindly suggested you take a bath, but you won’t go. You’re just standing there all wet in front of me. Don’t tell me you’re trying to… seduce me with your wet body?”
he teased.
Seduce with a wet body?
Anabelle found him as shameless as ever, a scoundrel!
“Don’t worry, I can’t do anything to you right now. Have you forgotten all the good things you did to me?”
Lord Alpha reminded her once again..
Anabelle thought of his condition. Judging by his tone, he was probably unable to perfortu…. physically.
Just then, Butler Paulo said, “Madam Anabelle, the guest room is ready. You should quickly go in, take a shower, and change your clothes. Sometimes Young Master Nathan also comes back, and if catch a cold, you might infect him.”
These words struck a chord with Anabelle. She no longer refused and went upstairs to the guest room.
The door closed behind her, and Butler Paulo walked up to Lord Alpha. “Sir.”
Lord Alpha glanced at the closed door. “Have you lit the incense?”
Butler Paulo nodded. “Yes, I have.”
Without returning to the study, Lord Alpha went to his own bedroom to take a shower.
Anabelle came out of a hot shower, and her clothes were already prepared for her a nightgown.
Why did they prepare a nightgown for her?
Anabelle looked at it. The rain outside was still pouring heavily. It was indeed inconvenient to go out and buy new clothes in such heavy rain. She decided to put on the nightgown.
At that moment, she caught a whiff of a pleasant fragrance -one that was soothing and seemed to have a calming effect.
Sitting on the bed, Anabelle started feeling drowsy without realizing it, and she dozed off.
Soon, with a creak, the door to the guest room opened, and a tall and graceful figure entered. Lord. Alpha had arrived.
Having just taken a shower, he was now wearing a black silk nightgown. The mist clinging to his body softened his features, making him look even more youthful and handsome.
Lord Alpha approached the bed and gazed down at Anabelle.
She was asleep now, her long black hair sc attered. A few strands clung to her exquisite face and delicate neck, giving her an alluring appearance.
Lord Alpha reached out, his rough fingertip gently brushing against her cheek.
Her skin was fair and smooth, just as it had been twenty years ago when he last saw her. He had missed this touch.
Anabelle suddenly felt a scent in the air -a fragrance that was both elegant and intoxicating, with a hint of calming and sleep-inducing properties.
She sat up on the bed, blinking sleepily, and found herself looking into a pair of deep, passionate eyes. It was Lord Alpha.
Before she could react, his lips descended upon her forehead. He continued his kisses, moving from her forehead to her eyebrows, her eyes, her nose… finally landing on her lips.
