Chapter 65
Chapter 65:
But Rupert was only thinking of Candy. Besides, he only saw Cathy as his cousin and never thought anything else of her, and he had no idea how she felt about him. As a result, he didn’t understand what Annabel implied.
What happened last night came back to his mind again.
Though he had been drunk at the time, the feeling was very real.
He knew he had seen Candy. He had held her hand and talked to her. Candy had told him not to lie on the floor, and she had pulled him up. All of this was real.
Annabel said she had helped him up from the floor last night, so the person he had seen then was Annabel. Yet Annabel was not Candy.
But why did she stir the same feeling in him that Candy did?
Engulfed by a sudden wave of excitement, Rupert jumped to his feet and strode over to Annabel.
He looked down at her and asked with a slight smile, “Annabel, have you never been kidnapped before p>
Annabel had never seen such tenderness in his eyes before. His low, attractive voice had a magic in it that could make anyone feel enchanted. But Annabel was not really happy. If she remembered correctly, this was the second time Rupert had asked her this question.
Why did he care so much about whether or not she had been kidnapped in the past?
She looked into his deep-set eyes and said in a serious tone, “Rupert, I don’t know why you always like to ask me this question. I’ll answer you for the last time. I’ve never been kidnapped before p>
Rupert fixed his gaze on Annabel, as if he wanted to probe into her soul. She answered him very seriously and frankly. Such a reaction could not be faked.
Annabel had never been kidnapped, which meant that she could not be Candy.
Rupert’s eyes dimmed.
Seeing the disappointment on his face, Annabel felt curious and decided to probe further.
She couldn’t help asking, “Who is Candy? The girl you love p>
“A girl who is very important to me,” Rupert said after a brief moment of silence. He didn’t know why he couldn’t admit to Annabel that he loved Candy.

“Oh, okay.” Seeing that Rupert was not eager to say more, Annabel stopped asking.
“Are you jealous?” Rupert suddenly asked.
Jealous? No way. Why would she be jealous?
Annabel couldn’t help but scoff at his arrogance in her mind. Clearly, this man thought far too highly of himself.
Did he think that every woman in the world would pursue and flatter him? Maybe there were several women who were indeed pursuing and flattering him, but as far as Annabel was concerned, she was an exception.
Pursing her lips, Annabel frowned and said, “Rupert, stop being stupid! I’m not interested in whatever you’re up to. It’s none of my business which girl you love. Just don’t forget the relationship between us! We only have a three-month contractual relationship. In fact, it’s now less than three months. It’s only two months and three weeks left. When the contract ends, we will become strangers. Do you understand p>
Strangers?
When Rupert heard this word, he became very unhappy.
He didn’t know why he cared so much about this. Maybe it was because being with Annabel made him feel like he was with Candy.
This engagement of theirs was mandated by their grandfathers, and they had no real feelings for each other.
Still, he treated her as a friend.
