A Drunken Decision ( Annabelle Ross )
A Drunken Decision Cynthia Chapter 57

Chapter 57

Elizabeth came with her brother just now. She was not going to ask her family’s driver to pick her up. It was more convenient for her to take a taxi.

Just as she was waiting for a cab, a car was parked in front of her.

Elizabeth knew whose car it was. When the window was rolled down, she saw the person’s face.

However, when a woman’s voice came from the front passenger seat, Elizabeth thought to herself, “See, luckily I didn’t have the intention to hitch a ride. Otherwise, I would be super embarrassed right now!”

“Eliza, get in the car. We’ll give you a ride!”

The person who spoke was not Howard, who was driving, but Yolanda, who was sitting in the front passenger seat.

“Thank you, but there’s no need!” Elizabeth said with a fake smile, “You guys should go first! Irving can take me home!”

If she told them she would take a taxi, this woman would probably have a lot to say. Elizabeth didn’t have the energy to talk to them. She just wanted. them to disappear as fast as possible.

As expected, after hearing what Elizabeth said, Howard did not say anything else and slowly closed the car window.

To be honest, Howard did not want these two women to stay in the same car. He was afraid that he would not be able to handle them if they quarreled.

Therefore, it couldn’t be any better if a different person could send each of the women home.

The car disappeared bit by bit in front of Elizabeth’s eyes. Although she kept telling herself to let Howard go, she still couldn’t help but feel sad. Tears welled up in her eyes, but she tried her best not to cry.

“It’s alright. It’s alright…” Elizabeth muttered to herself. If it happened again, she would be able to let him go completely.

“Get in the car, Elizabeth!” Josh’s car stopped in front of Elizabeth. He said in a relaxed tone, “I’m going back to the manor. I’ll take you with me!*

Elizabeth did not hesitate and got into Josh’s car right away. As she put on the seatbelt, she thanked Josh, “Thank you, Josh.”

“Oh my! Did you just thank me? So, you do know how to say “thank you!” Josh joked as the car sped out.

“Am I such a rude person?” Elizabeth rolled her eyes. She was indignant.

“How can that be? You’re very polite!”

Elizabeth was speechless.

Yolanda, who was sitting in Howard’s car, was in a good mood. At least at that moment, she was enjoying herself! Even though she could not read minds, she could imagine how hurt Elizabeth was.

Just for this kind of momentary pleasure, she would not let Howard go!

However, when she saw Elizabeth in Josh’s car, her good mood vanished instantly!

Both cars stopped at the red light. Yolanda heard Howard talking to the person in the car next door. She turned around and saw Elizabeth who looked

impatient.

Elizabeth only wanted to feel the breeze and did not pay attention to the car next to her. She did not expect to see Howard as soon as she rolled down

the window.

“Didn’t you say that Irving would drive you?”

Upon hearing the question, Elizabeth didn’t even want to talk to Howard. Didn’t Howard know that Irving’s house was in the opposite direction to hers?

Not wanting to talk to Howard, Elizabeth rolled up the window again, causing Josh to laugh non–stop.

Elizabeth did not know what to say.

Annabelle only thought of Elizabeth when she and Lucas got home.

“How will she get home?” Annabelle was very worried. She felt that she was an incompetent sister–in–law.

“Don’t worry, someone will send her home!” Lucas was not worried about Elizabeth. Unless they wanted to go for a drink, someone would definitely send Elizabeth home. Besides, even if there was no one to send her home, she was not a child. It was not difficult to take a taxi home.

Annabelle was relieved when she heard that someone will drive Elizabeth home. She changed into her indoor slippers and was about to head to her

room to take a shower.

However, she had just taken a step when she was pulled backward by the person behind her.

“What did you mean before?” The man behind her wrapped his arms around her waist. No, she no longer had a waist. The man’s hand was placed between her chest and abdomen. He lowered his head and rested his chin on her shoulder. When he spoke, his breath touched her neck. She couldn’t help but shudder. She could sense danger coming from him. She did not hear what she said clearly.

Chapter 57

“Why did you kiss me?”

This time, Annabelle heard what Lucas said clearly. Her face instantly turned red. However, although she felt guilty and shy, she did not lower her head. She pretended to be calm and said. “You’re my husband. Can’t I kiss you? If you don’t let me kiss you, who do you plan to kiss?”

Lucas chuckled and whispered into her ear in his husky voice, “No, I will only let you kiss me!”

His chuckle made Annabelle’s heart race. She wanted to reach out and push him away, but he spun her around. Her small mouth was slightly open, but before she could say anything, the man lowered his head and kissed her.

Outside the house, snowflakes fluttered. However, the cold out there couldn’t cool the passionate love between the couple in the house. Not even the nnging of the phone could disturb them.

Mary put down her phone and looked at her daughter, who had just entered the house. She frowned and muttered, “Where did you go? Why do you have to wander around out there every day? You’re always not around. Your brother has left home too. Don’t you people know what the meaning of a

home is?”

Elizabeth was speechless. She wondered who provoked her mother again.

“Aren’t you going to grandpa and grandma’s house? Why didn’t you stay there for a few more days?” Elizabeth just wanted to change the subject and stop her mother from nagging. She didn’t know that she had picked the wrong topic. Not only did it not make Mary happy, but it also made her even more irritable!

“Why do I want to stay there? Am I supposed to abandon this house too?”

Elizabeth was at a loss for words. Who did she offend?

Fortunately, Mary only scolded her a little before starting to criticize her brother, Lucas.

After hesitating for a moment, Elizabeth asked, “Um, mom, did you just call Lucas?”

“Yes! I have called him a few times, but no one picked up!” When she thought of Lucas, she got angry. She spent the whole day at her parents‘ house. being nagged by her parents. They kept saying that she didn’t care about them because she didn’t tell them that her son, their grandson, had gotten married. It was such an important thing. In the end, they just nagged her about everything they could think of. She did bring her eldest son with her, but he failed to distract her parents. They focused all their anger on her!

If she had known what would happen, she would have brought her husband along. Her son was useless. Her parents missed their grandson too much to scold him! But it would be different if her husband was there!

It was her mistake!

“They should be home!” Elizabeth said, “They went home before I came back!”

Mary asked in surprise when she realized that something was wrong, “Why aren’t they picking up if they’re home? Wait, you were with them?”

Didn’t her daughter dislike Annabelle? What happened? Did her impression of Annabelle change?

“Yes!” Speaking of this, Elizabeth was very proud. “I had lunch at her place this afternoon. Mom, can you believe that Annabelle’s good at cooking? Her cooking can even beat Brenda’s cooking!”

“Really?” Mary had heard Lucas mention it before, but she thought that Lucas was covering for Annabelle. It was different if her daughter said that. Her daughter didn’t like Annabelle. So, if her daughter praised Annabelle, it meant that Annabelle’s culinary skills were really good. Then, Mary realized something. “How dare you ask a pregnant woman to cook for you?”

“I helped her do the dishes!” Elizabeth quickly explained. “I even helped her tidy up her clothes. I did have some contribution!”

“That’s better!” Mary was satisfied. “By the way, why don’t you call them? Why aren’t they answering their phone?”

Elizabeth said, “Let’s not do that. Maybe they’re busy! Why don’t we call him tomorrow?”

“Why would they be busy at night…”

Halfway through the sentence, Mary shut up. She stared at her daughter for a while before waving her hand to get rid of her. “What are you looking at? You should be dleeping at this hour!”

Elizabeth was again speechless.
