Chapter 96:
After all, she had a lot of work to do the next day, so she needed to wake up early and refreshed.
“Okay,” Rupert agreed.
It took Annabel some serious effort to help get Rupert to his room.
She was going to help him sit on the bed when he suddenly stopped. “I want to take a shower first,” he told her.
With her eyelashes trembling, Annabel blurted, “Do you also want me to help you shower p>
Seeing her on the alert, Rupert loosened his tie with his left hand, and a playful smile slowly appeared on his face.
“Run me a bath p>
Annabel breathed a sigh of relief and went to fill the bathtub with water. She made sure the temperature was right for Rupert before coming back to tell him that it was ready.
Annabel sat and listened to the sound of running water coming from the bathroom. She wanted to wait for Rupert to finish his shower so she could find out which room she would sleep in. But she was so tired that she soon fell asleep right there on the sofa.
After his shower, Rupert came out of the bathroom and saw that Annabel was sleeping on the sofa. Her steady breathing echoed peacefully in the quiet room.
Rupert used the opportunity to let his gaze linger on her. Her skin was smooth and delicate, and her features were an image of perfection. The light from the chandelier shone on her long eyelashes, casting faint shadows on her cheeks.
With a gentle smile, Rupert bent over and lifted her up.
Carefully, he laid her on the bed and tucked her in. Then he lay down right beside her.
“Teddy, let me hug you,” Annabel murmured in her sleep, wrapping her arms around Rupert and thinking she was holding a teddy bear.
Your next favorite is on gⱯlnσν𝓮𝓁s．𝒸o𝗺
Rupert’s body stiffened. This feeling was so familiar.
He stretched out his hand and gently caressed Annabel’s hair. “Candy, is it really not you p>
The next day, bright rays of sunlight shone through the curtains and fell across the bed.
Annabel opened her eyes and sat up in a daze.
The first thing she saw was a luxurious crystal lamp.
Where on earth was she?
She looked around and quickly realized that she was in Rupert’s bed.
What happened?
Annabel rubbed her temples and gradually began to recall what had happened the previous night.
She remembered Rupert stepping between her and the knife. She also remembered sending him home, having dinner, and him going to take a shower.
And then? What happened? Why couldn’t she remember anything after that?
Why on earth was she in Rupert’s bed?
It was just the two of them in the apartment. She knew she had not gone to his bed by herself. Had Rupert put her in his bed?
