Chapter 1383:
Then footsteps sounded outside the door.
“Rupert, why didn’t you come find me when you brought Annabel back? Am I that annoying p>
The door was pushed open abruptly.
Both of them froze. Annabel instinctively shoved Rupert away, blushing as she buried her face against his chest.
Bruce stood in the doorway, awkward and stunned.
Rupert straightened and pulled Annabel into his arms, looking at Bruce with faint exasperation. “Grandpa, could you knock next time p>
Bruce raised a fist to his mouth and coughed lightly, clearly trying to recover some dignity.
He lifted his chin and said, “What’s the problem? It’s not like I walked in on something shameful. I just entered the wrong room. You two carry on—don’t mind me. And I hope you’ll have a baby soon, alright? Got it, Annabel p>
Annabel had already been flustered, but hearing Bruce say her name so plainly only made her face burn even hotter.
Seeing them like that, Bruce clasped his hands behind his back and said, “Go on. Why are you staring at me p>
“Grandpa…” Rupert’s voice suddenly turned cold.
Sensing the shift in the air, Bruce quietly retreated, muttering with faint reproof, “Young people these days can’t even close a door properly p>
Annabel had never been so mortified in her life. At a loss for words, she hurriedly buried her face against Rupert’s chest.
After a while, she finally sat up. “I’m going to take a shower,” she said.
But when she stepped into the bathroom and was about to close the door, Rupert’s hand landed on the doorframe.
“What are you doing?” Annabel asked, startled, staring up at him.

A faint smile curved Rupert’s lips as he followed her in, his eyes never leaving hers. “I want to shower too,” he said.
“What p>
Of course, Annabel knew what he was really implying. Her lashes fluttered, and her cheeks flushed at her own instinctive reaction.
“Fine. You go first, then,” Annabel said, pretending to be annoyed as she turned to leave.
Rupert caught her at the waist and pulled her back.
“Didn’t you hear what Grandpa said earlier?” Rupert murmured against her ear, his tone playful and dangerous, making her blush even more. “We should work harder and give him a great-grandchild as soon as possible. By the way, do you want a son or a daughter p>
Annabel grew so shy she gave him a light shove. “We aren’t even married yet, are we p>
“We will be, sooner or later.” With that, Rupert scooped her up in his arms.
Startled, Annabel yelped and clung to his neck. “Rupert, you rogue p>
It was a long, turbulent night.
The next morning, Annabel felt movement beside her. She let out a soft moan but didn’t open her eyes.
