A Drunken Decision ( Annabelle Ross )
A Drunken Decision Cynthia Chapter 63

Chapter 63

Lucas didn’t bring Annabelle back to Pearl Garden. Instead, he went to the Walker family’s manor.

Mary was naturally overjoyed to see them back home. As she warmly welcomed Annabelle into the house, she muttered, “Why didn’t you come back earlier? Let’s have lunch together or something!”

“By the way. Yolanda from next door came to visit early in the morning. Since you guys are here, you guys should chat with her!” Mary helped Annabelle get her slippers. She did not forget to tell Lucas and Annabelle that Yolanda was still at their

house.

Noah did not have much of a relationship with Yolanda, and Elizabeth did not get along with her.

Therefore, Mary was the only one who talked to Yolanda all the time. However, she had the habit of taking a lunch break every afternoon. She could not hold on much longer.

Fortunately, Lucas and Annabelle came over.

Mary still remembered that Lucas got along well with Yolanda. They should have a lot to talk about.

She could also take the time to rest in her room.

Yolanda, who was in the living room, did not expect Lucas to come back at this time. She was quite surprised.

“Holy cow, our wavelength was in sync like two stupid moths flying toward the fire!” Yolanda looked at Lucas and said with at smile, “I was still thinking of looking for you later. I didn’t expect you to come!”

In the living room. Yolanda stood up with a smile when she saw Lucas.

As for Annabelle behind him, Yolanda acted as if she did not see Annabelle and had no intention of greeting her at all.

Mary did not know what Yolanda was thinking. She simply felt that the way she greeted Lucas was not polite.

“Yolanda, you have lost all your manners after studying abroad for a few years!” Mary smiled and said. “You should speak politely and stop using these weird and silly expressions. We wouldn’t want to embarrass you at home, but if outsiders heard. you, they might make fun of you.”

At the same time, Mary was thinking that Annabelle did not understand why Yolanda and Lucas were so close like siblings. She worried that Annabelle would get jealous.

Yolanda went speechless.

Yolanda’s expression stiffened. Fortunately, she quickly composed herself and smiled coquettishly at Mary. “Hehehe… Aunt Mary, don’t roast me like that. I’ll be embarrassed!”

“We’re like family. What’s there to be embarrassed about!” Mary said with a smile.

“Exactly!” Yolanda liked the term “family” very much. Although the other parents said that she was like a family member to them, she still thought it felt special when Mary mentioned it. “Whatever you want to say, I will listen carefully and reflect deeply!”

On the other side, Lucas pulled Annabelle to the sofa and sat down.

“Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something? Or drink something?” Lucas looked at Annabelle, who was sitting obediently beside him and asked.

Annabelle shook her head. She did not eat much during lunch because of her father, but she had eaten a lot of good food in Pearl Group’s secretarial department. She was not hungry yet.

At this moment, Yolanda ended her conversation with Mary and sat down beside Lucas.

“Why do you have time to come back today?”

Yolanda sat too close to Lucas. Lucas couldn’t help but frown and stand up from the sofa.

“Annabelle wants to come here and visit my family!” Lucas said indifferently, “You guys have a chat first. I’ll go get a glass of water for Annabelle.”

Annabelle, who was not thirsty at first, saw Yolanda sitting beside Lucas and felt that she could drink some water.

Yolanda’s expression froze again. She had just been talking to Mary and had not heard what the couple had said. Hence, she could not figure out if Lucas was really getting a glass of water for Annabelle.

However, when Lucas came over with a glass of water and sat on the other side of Annabelle, Yolanda knew Lucas did it on

purpose.

Yolanda could not help but laugh bitterly. In the past, she and Lucas were extremely close. Now, there was a distance between them because he was married.

“Mary, is Eliza home?” No matter what Yolanda thought, Annabelle didn’t have much to say to her. She didn’t intend to force herself, so she asked about Elizabeth.

“She’s at home. I’ll go get her for you!” Mary said and was about to go upstairs. “You two stay here tonight. Don’t go back, okay?”

Annabelle had no objections, so she turned to look at Lucas.

Lucas had no objections too. Seeing that Annabelle had no intention of objecting, he nodded at her mother.

Mary went upstairs in satisfaction.

After a while, Elizabeth came downstairs with Noah.

Annabelle was thrilled to see Noah. She did not even notice Elizabeth beside him at all. She only smiled and spoke to Noah.

Noah smiled gently. He was very patient with Annabelle, who was also his biggest fan.

Lucas and Elizabeth were very unhappy about Annabelle’s reaction.

Elizabeth had never let herself be mistreated. If she was unhappy, she wanted to make sure the person who upset her felt unhappy too.

She immediately reached out and pinched Annabelle’s pink and tender face. She questioned fiercely, “Can’t you hear me greeting you? You only have eyes for Noah. Can’t believe you ignore your friend for a handsome guy!”

“Hehehe…” Annabelle was not angry after being pinched by Elizabeth. After she removed Elizabeth’s hand, she even smiled at Elizabeth and said, “Everyone loves to see pretty faces! Don’t you like to look at handsome men too?”

Elizabeth looked at Annabelle in annoyance. She really could not refute her.

“Noah, are you celebrating the new year at home this year?” Annabelle saw that Elizabeth did not want to argue with her anymore, so she stopped being pretentious and went to Noah’s side to ask softly.

Noah shook his head. “I’ll start working the day after tomorrow! I think I can only rest for a few days after the new year!”

“I see!” Annabelle was a little disappointed when she heard Noah’s reply. “I really want to make a post on my Instagram story celebrating the new year with you, Noah,”

“Well, I can’t celebrate the new year with you, but I can still make an Instagram story with you!” Noah smiled and said to Annabelle, “Do you want to take a photo together?”

“Yes, yes, yes! Absolutely!” Annabelle was excited and immediately pulled Noah along to take photos.

Chapter 63

Annabelle was not satisfied with the selfies she took with Noah. Hence, she handed her phone to Elizabeth and asked her to take a few photos of her and Noah.

Meanwhile, Lucas was pulled by Yolanda to have a chat. However, he was distracted by Annabelle and Noah, who were taking photos together.

Especially when he saw Annabelle’s beautiful and happy smile, he snorted from time to time.

“Remember to come with Annabelle!” Yolanda looked at Lucas and said gently.

Lucas asked in confusion, “Come with Annabelle? To where?”

Yolanda looked at Lucas and knew she had said so much for nothing.

For the first time, she realized that Annabelle was someone really special to Lucas.

When did Lucas start valuing someone like this before?

“Our family is holding a small banquet tomorrow night to invite some friends and family to gather. You and Annabelle have to come over tomorrow!” Yolanda looked at Lucas and said gently again..
