Chapter 60
Chapter 60:
In the darkness, the girl’s big eyes twinkled like stars in the night sky, lighting up Rupert’s heart.
The two of them leaned against each other in silence.
After a while, the girl joked, “Does this mean I’ve saved your life? If not for me, you would have been scared to death by this dog. So, you should marry me when we grow up p>
“Okay,” he nodded in agreement.
In his drunken state, the girl standing in front of him and the figure in his memory seemed to become one and the same.
Rupert asked, “Candy, do you remember? We were locked up together in that dark room. You saved me from the big dog, and you also bandaged my wound p>
Dark room? Big dog? Bandaging his wound? Annabel felt a headache, as if something flashed through her memory. But unfortunately, she couldn’t grasp any of it.
“Candy, do you know I’ve been looking for you all these years? It’s so good to finally see you again,” Rupert murmured, holding Annabel’s hand and rubbing it against his lips.
He perceived a unique, sweet scent from her hand, leaving him in no doubt that this was his Candy.
“Candy, you smell so good.” Rupert was intoxicated by her scent.
“Rupert, you’re drunk. Let go of me!” Annabel scolded. When this man was drunk, there was nothing she could do.
“No. I won’t let you go,” Rupert refused, holding her hand tightly. “Please don’t leave me, Candy p>
“All right. Let me help you to your room.” Annabel surrendered. She wanted to get rid of him quickly. After all, she couldn’t just stay in the living room with him throughout the night.
She would just be kind and take him up to his room.
Annabel tried to pull him up to his feet, but he was just so heavy. “Rupert, get up quickly. Don’t just lie here on the floor p>
Rupert looked up at her with his unfocused eyes and murmured, “Okay, Candy. I’ll get up p>
Annabel was confused.
Who the hell was this Candy?
Rupert was nearly 1.9 meters tall. He looked slim in his clothes, but he was in fact a big man. Annabel, on the other hand, was only 1.65 meters tall.
It was really hard for her to keep Rupert standing and prevent him from falling back down.
Rupert put his arm around her shoulders and leaned on her. His face rested against the side of her head, and his warm breath fanned her cheek.
Such closeness made Annabel feel a little uncomfortable.
The kiss in the bar restroom flashed through her mind again. She shifted to the side, but Rupert moved even closer to her.
She was trying her best to resist the urge to just dump him right there and walk away.
Gritting her teeth, she held him up and managed to help him climb the stairs.
When Annabel finally reached his floor and was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she heard a woman screaming, “What are you doing p>
Annabel looked up and saw that it was Cathy.
Annabel was too tired to explain, so she simply stepped around her and helped Rupert toward his room.
“Stop, Annabel!” Cathy shouted after her.
She had woken up in the middle of the night and heard some noises in the living room, so she had gone out to see what was going on. But as soon as she stepped out of her room, she saw Annabel and Rupert holding each other intimately.
