Chapter 365 Pride 5
When Alistair heard Annabelle’s question, he replied, “Miss Xia, we should talk about something
happier. Now that we can, we should just enjoy our food! Why are you worrying about getting kicked
out?!”
It made sense. Annabelle nodded in agreement and said, “All right then, what should we talk about?”
When she mentioned that, Alistair chuckled, “Say, doesn’t it look like we are dating right now?!” He
asked suddenly.
Annabelle’s gesture of eating stopped. She raised her head and looked at Alistair and she shook her
head unhesitantly, “Not at all!”
“Why so?”
“First of all, we are not a couple and that is the primary reason. Secondly, we are in a hospital. Have
you ever seen anyone dating in the hospital?” Annabelle said.
When Alistair heard that, he protested in disagreement, “Have you ever seen anyone eating a Western
full course in the hospital?”
Annabelle shook her head.
“This is what makes it so special and memorable!”
“……”
“Miss Xia, you shouldn’t be watching so many tasteless movie dramas!”
“……”
And now she was the one watching tasteless films?
Annabelle was reluctant to even answer the man. She continued to enjoy her food.
At that time, Alistair lifted his wine glass and looked at Annabelle, “Come, let us have a toast for
escaping death!”
When Annabelle heard the man, she stared at him in disbelief, “Are you supposed to drink red wine
now?”
“Why not!?”
“Your injuries aren’t recovered yet!” Annabelle said.
When Alistair heard that, he simply smirked mirthfully, “Don’t worry about it, it’s not a big deal!”
“Are you sure?”
“I am sure.”
When Annabelle saw how lively Alistair was, she had no other choice to nod in agreement, “All right
then, that was worth quite the celebration!”
After saying that, she lifted her wine glass and clinked with Alistair’s glass. The two bottomed up their
drink.
Only the two of them could pull that off.
If anyone were to see that, they would be surprised.
Chit-chatting in the middle of the night, enjoying the Western full course and even alcohol… While
getting admitted in the hospital!!
That was something only the two of them could pull off!
“Oh right, how did you know Cole Ho captured me that day?” Annabelle recalled that all of a sudden
and asked.
“What do you think?!” Alistair raised an eyebrow and looked back at her.
Annabelle shook her head. She had no clue on how Alistair could find out about that.
The moment Alistair appeared, she was completely moved.
Alistair stared at her and asked, “Who were you talking over the phone with that time?”
Talking over the phone?
Annabelle frowned and she recalled she was indeed making a call that day, “Why would you know I
was talking on the phone?!”
“Miss Xia, aren’t you the smart one? Why are you being so dim-witted right now?”
“President Mu, aren’t you the straightforward man? Why are you such a naggy person right now?!”
Annabelle answered back right away.
Alistair gave her an eye roll. Annabelle was the only one that dared to speak to him like that. If it were
to be anyone else, Alistair would be teaching them a lesson already!
“That day, Jerry Kuang called you and the phone was hung up midway. Therefore, we speculated that
you got into trouble!” Alistair said slowly.
After hearing that, Annabelle came to a realization, “That was Jerry Kuang?” This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Alistair nodded.
“Why would he call me?” Annabelle asked.
As she mentioned that, Alistair was stunned and he shook his head, “I don’t know!”
Annabelle frowned and said, “How can you not know?!”
When Alistair saw that she was very interested, he gave her an eye roll and said, “Should I call him
right now and ask?” lightnoveldaily.com.
