Filed to story: A Sacrificial Lambs Unexpected Marriage
Since their table were very close, Annabelle could clearly hear their conversation. Alpha raised his lips and corrected indifferently. “Ex-wife.”
Hearing his response, Annabelle’s instantly felt a pain in her chest. Did he really think that she was… his ex-wife? When he was in Imperial City, he still cared about her, but in a blink of an eye, he had a new love and he completely forgot about her.
Annabelle felt like asking him why he considered them divorced, when they hadn’t even received the divorce certificate yet. But Annabelle restrained herself. She felt that she was impulsive and abnormal. Her temperament had always been cold and indifferent, and she couldn’t change now. When she knew that he had had a relationship with Lily, and got Lily pregnant, Annabelle had felt the exact way. That day, she learned that Deacon had a high fever at Lily’s home. She secretly hid a knife, as she went to find Lily. At that time, she almost hurt herself. Of course, she was angry because of Deacon’s condition, but more importantly, she saw Lily’s protruded stomach. At that time, the pain in her heart was unbearable, and she was angry and hurt. Back then, she really didn’t want to live anymore. Marcus once said that Alpha treated her badly. But, she had scolded Marcus. Alpha did not treat her badly. On the contrary, he was too kind to her. She understood better than anyone else that Alpha had given her half of his life’s care and love. That year, under the tree, he personally wore her a cat ears that he had bought from his trip. He had kissed her and told her that in the future, he would be nice to her. Alpha had been fulfilling this promise all his life. Just because he was too good to her, he imprisoned her in his home. In fact, it was a protection a means of She had always been protected by him. Apart from being his wife and having a child for him, she had achieved the most poetic life. She designed her favorite jewelry. She had never suffered any setbacks. After Lily had given birth to Alpha’s child, Alpha’s care for Annabelle seemed to have diminished, hence the reason she was so sad. She admitted that she had been jealous and envious.
Now, as she saw Alpha and Willow together, this had feeling came back again. Annabelle felt very uncomfortable. She quickly got up and went to the bathroom.
In the bathroom. Annabelle stood Tront of the washstand and patted her face with cold water. At this moment, there were two women chatting. “Did you see that very handsome man, who brought in a beautiful girl just now?”
Annabelle was stunned. She had a feeling that this handsome man that the ladies were talking about was Alpha. Alpha was in his fifties, and his facial features became more mature. A man of this age did not look old at all. On the contrary, he was deep and charming. He specifically attracted beautiful young girls. “I saw him too. He’s really charming. Hey, do you think that girl is his sugar baby? Does his wife knows about this?”
“Even if she knows, maybe his wife is already old and ugly. The older men are, the more they like
Was this the reason why Alpha suddenly let go of her hand? Willow was twenty years old, she youthful and beautiful, and she exuded a gentleness and joy that no man can refuse. If she was a man, she would definitely stare at Willow twice. Annabelle’s face turned pale. She raised her head and looked at herself in the mirror. She had never cared about her age in recent years. She was still beautiful in the mirror, but compared with Willow, she was already old. She was really old. Alpha did not like her anymore. Annabelle’s heart ached, as if someone stabbed her in the chest. At this moment, with a click, the bathroom door was pushed open again, and someone came in. This time, it was an acquaintance, Willow. When Annabelle saw Willow, she quickly concealed her emotions and then took out a tissue to wipe her hands. Willow walked over, and said. “Mrs. Armstead, hello, you shouldn’t mind when you see me with Alpha, right?”
Willow’s voice had pride in it. Annabelle didn’t want to converse with Willow. Her cold eyes fell on Willow, and she asked. “Do you have something to say to me?”
“Oh, nothing actually. I just don’t want Mrs. Armstead to misunderstand me. It was Alpha who said that your relationship is over,”
Willow said provocatively and innocently, she even shrugged calmly. Did he say so? Did he tell Willow that? Annabelle’s hands clutched into a fists, and then she took a deep breath. However, her heart was still aching. “Whatever he says. I’m leaving.”
Annabelle turned around and left. “Mrs. Armstead, wait a minute. Actually, I want to ask you something. What do you think his favorite styles are?”
Alpha was very good at flirting with women in private, and he was…a beast on bed. Alpha had already reached a mature age. As soon as Annabelle returned from Visionary, he drugged her and slept with her. Annabelle couldn’t tell Willow such. Instead, she said lightly. T’m sorry, I’m not sure.”
With that. Annabelle walked out.
Annabelle didn’t want to stay in the cafe anymore. As long as she saw him with Willow, her heart panicked and ached, so she took her bag and held the book and her design in her arms. Then she exited the cafe.
Standing on the street, Annabelle stood, as she awaited a taxi.
At this moment, a black luxurious car slowly stopped. The passenger’s window slid down, revealing a familiar face. It was Willow.
Willow looked at Annabelle and smiled, “Mrs. Armstead, get in the car, I can give you a ride…”
Annabelle raised her eyes. She looked past Willow and saw the man in the driver’s seat.
Perhaps realizing her gaze, Alpha also looked sideways and stared at her lightly.
Annabelle had left the cafe to avoid them, but she did not expect to meet them here again.
She couldn’t understand what gave Willow the audacity to still refer to her as 鈥楳rs. Armstead’.
“No need, I’ll take a taxi.”
Annabelle refused.
Alpha looked at the Annabelle outside the window. She was the same as she was many years ago. She was holding a book in her arms. She tucked a few strands of hair from her cheeks behind her ears.
She was unwilling to get into his car, and even took a few steps to the side to avoid them.
“Sir, Mrs. Armstead doesn’t seem to want our lift.”
Willow said aggrievedly.
Alpha’s expression did not change. He just pursed his thin lips and reversed the luxurious car a little.
Annabelle was surprised to see the car drive to her side again. In the next second, a deep voice said, *Get in the car, don’t let me say it again.”
Each word of his was strong and unbearable.
Annabelle looked at his cold and hard features, which displayed displeasure.
Annabelle also frowned, “I told you that I don’t want to get in the car, you can send Miss Willow home…”
Alpha glanced at her, then he opened the driver’s door and walked to her side.
Annabelle knew that he was used to being domineering. He got out of the car, pulled her, and shoved her inside.
She was also angry. She clawed at the car door and refused to enter. “Alpha, do you not understand English? I don’t want to get in the car!”
Alpha pushed Annabelle into the car, but Annabelle kept struggling, as she refused to get into the car.
At this moment, their bodies were constantly rubbing against each other.
Alpha’s eyes darkened. He frowned, and asked, “Annabelle, where are you going?”
Annabelle froze for a moment. Only then did she realize that the two of them were so close to each other. She panicked and took a step back.
The design draft in her hands was blown open by the wind, and the papers quickly sc attered on the ground.
“My Blueprint!”
Annabelle called out, wanting to pick it up.
But Alpha blocked her. “Get in.”
He reached out and shoved her in.
Annabelle wanted to get out of the car, but swiftly, the car door was locked. She sat close to the window, as she was dumfounded.
Because Alpha did not immediately get into the car, he lowered his stiff body and began to help her pick up the design drawings one after another.
It was the first time that Alpha had bent to pick something up.
Annabelle’s fingertips quickly curled up. She and Alpha were not young anymore.
Countless times, she wanted to go out, stretch out her hand, and hug him.
Just like now, she really wanted to get out of the car, run over, and tightly hug him from behind.
Annabelle’s fair eyes suddenly turned red.
At this moment, Alpha had already picked up all the design drawings. He turned around and opened the rear door. “Here are your design drawings.”
He handed her the design drawing, but the next second his gaze landed on her eyes, and he could see that her eyes were moist, as if she was about to cry.
Alpha paused.
Annabelle knew that she had lost her temper. She did not want him to see her weakness. She reached out and took the design. “Thank you.”
However, Alpha did not leave the paper. Instead, he was stood calmly by the door, and held the paper tightly.
Annabelle looked up at him and saw his big hand propped against the door, his dark and narrow eyes stared at her red eyes.
Soon, he raised his hand and moved closer to her face.
What was he doing?
Annabelle turned her head and avoided his hand.
Alpha’s hand froze in midair. He frowned as he watched her avoid him, then he closed the car door and returned to the driver’s seat.
The luxurious car sped away.
In the luxurious car, Annabelle sat in the back seat and Willow sat in the front passenger seat.
“Sir, please send Mrs. Armstead home first, then send me home later. You can come to my house tonight and have a cup of coffee,”
Willow invited with a tender smile.
Annabelle’s heart tightened. Willow Invited Alpha to her home for coffee. Everyone knew that once such invite weren’t given with the sole intention of drinking coffee.Willow had other plans.
Had he and Willow gotten this far?
Would he go?
Annabelle curled her fingers. He should be able to go. After all, he was a normal man with needs in all aspects.
Annabelle raised her head and looked forward. He was driving. He was not looking sideways. The bright neon lights of the city reflected on his handsome face through the bright car window.
“Okay, I’ll drop by at your place for a cup of coffee,”
At this moment, Annabelle listened to Alpha’s reply.
He consented to her request.
Willow’s eyes lit up and she quickly held his big hand. “That’s great, Alpha.”
Alpha did not refuse Willow’s hand, but instead, he held Willow’s hand and placed it on his strong thigh
Alpha raised his thin lips, and his smile was a little mysterious.
“It’s been a long time since I drank coffee. Your coffee taste great, right?”
he asked Willow. Willow’s pretty face quickly turned red, and she immediately reached out and caressed his sturdy thigh. “Sir, if you tease me like this. I won’t like you anymore…”
Alpha suddenly let out a loud laughter.
“
Annabelle felt like she was sitting on pins and needles. She didn’t want to get in the car because she was afraid of seeing them flirting. Now, she still saw the scene she didn’t want to see.
