A Drunken Decision Cynthia Chapter 99
Chapter 99
Annabelle was stunned when she heard that. She did not know how she felt at this moment.
“That’s enough?” Madeline asked on the other end of the line. “Back then, our family gave them a sum of money to cut off the connection between the two sides. They didn’t need you as their daughter, so…”
“I want to see them!” Before Madeline could finish, Annabelle interrupted. “Tell them not to worry. I won’t pester them! I won’t affect their lives!”
Madeline fell silent on the other end of the line. After a while, she said, “Your request will make things difficult for them!*
“I can pay them! If it delays their work or something else!” Annabelle was still calm.
“If you insist, I’ll arrange something for you!” Madeline said calmly in the end.
After hanging up, Annabelle took a deep breath. It was obvious that it was not a pleasant thing to be born unloved and unaccepted.
Fortunately, Annabelle forced a smile on her face. Fortunately, she was no longer a child who needed her parents‘ love. Her beautiful childhood and the fact that she was surrounded by love at the moment made her subconsciously think about what she had now when faced with such bad news. Compared to what she had now, what she had lost did not seem worth mentioning anymore.
Hence, Annabelle’s mood immediately lightened up. She put down her phone and went to the living room. When she saw Donald and Susan fighting over whether one could undo a move, she could not help but feel happy.
“Annabelle, come and reason for me. Didn’t I say that one can’t regret one’s moves? Was it wrong of me not to let her undo a move?” Donald pulled Annabelle over, wanting Annabelle to stand on his side.
However, Susan slapped his hand away and pulled Annabelle to sit beside her. “You’re really shameless, old man. I know we can’t undo our moves, but have I moved my piece yet? I’m just holding the chess piece in that position to take a look. Have I put down my chess piece? If you can’t take losing, so be it. Don’t bring Annabelle into this. Why you snatch my chess piece? You’re really immoral!”
Donald was not happy to hear this. They were just playing chess, why was moral brought into the conversation?
“Who’s the immoral one? I saw it clearly just now. Your chess piece touched the chessboard!” Donald said angrily. As he spoke, he did not forget to wink at Susan. He didn’t want to be embarrassed in front of Annabelle.
Unfortunately, Susan felt that his eyes were cramping. Not only did she not back down, but she also told him not to play chess with her in the future if his eyes were uncomfortable.
Donald was rendered speechless.
“I can’t take this anymore!” Donald secretly glanced at Annabelle. Seeing her sitting there with a smile, he only had this thought in his mind.
Donald’s self–esteem suffered a blow. He stood up, put his hands behind his back, and walked away angrily.
Seeing him like this, Susan was furious. He was clearly being unreasonable, but he still had to act like he had been wronged.
What could Annabelle do? Both of them were equal to her. She just had to coax them.
Fortunately, hse still had the ability to coax people! She was able to coax Susan by pretending to be all cute and adorable.
Of course, after coaxing Susan, there was still Donald.
“Grandma, I’m going to deliver some fruits to Grandpa,” Annabelle said to Susan with a plate of fruits in her hand.
When Susan heard that, she frowned. “Why should we feed him fruits? Let him…”
“We have to be magnanimous!” Annabelle winked at Susan and said seriously.
“You’re right, I won’t bicker with him!” Susan obediently sat on the sofa. Bickering with Donald made her seem as childish as him.
Seeing this, Annabelle gave Susan a thumbs up before coaxing Donald.
No matter how angry Donald was, he could not be angry with Annabelle. For the sake of his reputation, he had to perform well in front of Annabelle. He could not let Annabelle misunderstand.
“Your grandma’s just too competitive. She has to win even when she’s playing chess!” Donald could not help but complain to Annabelle. He had completely forgotten that he had pressed the other party’s chess piece down before the other party could her move.
When Annabelle heard this, she wanted to laugh but could only hold it in. He was afraid that Donald would fly into a rage out of humiliation.
“Yes, yes, yes! Only you love Grandma. You’re always giving in to her!” Annabelle nodded in agreement.
Chapter 99
“Who, who, who…” Donald wanted to ask who loved her. However, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth. There were some words that could not be said no matter how angry he was! That person with a temper that was not soft at all was indeed the person he had loved for his entire life. “She only dared to be so unrestrained because I loved her!”
That’s right!” Annabelle smiled. “Grandma is so lucky to have such a good person like Dyou to pamper and love for the rest
of her life!”
“Of course! That’s because she met mel” Donald said proudly. “Let me tell you, when you were young, Susan was stubborn. The first time I saw her, she didn’t even shed a tear when her leg was broken!” Donald seemed to have thought of that distant scene. It was that gaze that moved him. Then, he took her away, and she accompanied him for the rest of their lives.
At the thought of this. Donald felt that it was meaningless. What was there to be angry about with her? Wasn’t he the one who spoiled her so much?
“Well, don’t be scared by Susan!” Donald patted Annabelle’s shoulder and said gently. “She looks hot–tempered, but she’s actually soft–hearted!”
“I’m not, Grandma and Grandpa are both top–notch people,” Annabelle looked at Donald and said with a smile.
When Donald heard that, he smiled happily.
At that moment, Elizabeth and Hazel returned. When they heard the laughter, they came directly over.
“What’s the matter? Why are you so happy?” Elizabeth came over and took a piece of melon from the fruit platter and stuffed it into her mouth. As she chewed, she asked curiously.
“Don’t talk when you’re eating!” Donald glared at her and reminded her.
Elizabeth didn’t know what to say. “Fine! I’ll ask when I’m done eating
However, Annabelle stuffed the fruit plate into her hand and allowed her to eat slowly.
Elizabeth was at a loss for words again.
Donald didn’t care about her anymore and went to look for Susan to reconcile.
Hazel also came over after greeting the elders.
“How’s the investigation going? Any news?” Annabelle asked as she let the two of them eat together.
Just as Elizabeth was about to speak, she remembered that she had stuffed another piece of fruit into her mouth. She subconsciously glanced at Donald. After confirming that he had gone, she nodded at Annabelle.
Hazel also stabbed a piece of apple and stuffed it into her mouth before saying. “We saw the owner of that shop today!” Elizabeth nodded. “She looks ordinary and nothing special, but she’s quite enthusiastic about people. She smiles when she sees people!“They couldn’t even question her even if they wanted to.
