A Drunken Decision ( Annabelle Ross )

Chapter 32 

Lucas already regretted coming back for this meal, especially when he saw his brother smiling so happily. 

“Where did you find such a… gem?” Noah walked to his second brother’s side and put his hand on his shoulder. He could not help but ask with a mischievous smile on his face. 

“Hey! Watch your eyes!” Lucas glanced at his own brother and reminded him gently. 

“Haha…” When Noah heard this, he laughed even more happily. Of course, as Lucas wished, he retracted his gaze. 

At this moment, Noah was completely different from how he looked under the spotlight. In the eyes of the public, Noah always seemed so distant and cold, being that self made son from a poor family. Well, almost no one in the industry knew Noah’s identity and background. Everyone knew that he had participated in a singing competition when he was young and became famous overnight with an original love song. The entertainment industry was very complicated. Even if he had the look and talent, it was not that he had never fallen. However, no matter how difficult it was, he still managed to break through. 

At his request, the Walker family had never helped him in his career. This was also why outsiders never related him to Lucas even though they shared 

the same surname. 

As for those who knew the truth, after understanding Noah’s intention, they naturally would not expose his identity on their own. No matter what, he was the Walker family’s eldest son. They could not afford to offend him. 

Both of them hadn’t seen each other for a long time. After chitchatting for a while, they went somewhere else to talk. 

Before leaving. Lucas glanced at Annabelle worriedly. He did not want to interfere with them because she and Benjamin were still talking. 

After they left, Mary and Susan joined the discussion. 

“Actually, I also have a lot of collections!” Timothy couldn’t help but whisper when he saw them discussing. 

With that, everyone’s gaze landed on Timothy. 

“What are you looking at? What’s wrong with me showing concerns towards Lucas’s career as a father?” Timothy felt guilty under their gazes, but he still straightened his neck and pretended to be calm, 

Mary rolled his eyes. She was speechless after hearing what Timothy said. 

“What are you waiting for? Hurry up and get it! Pick one for Annabelle,” Mary said. “By the way, bring Lucas‘ photo album too. Let Annabelle take a look!” 

Still, Lucas was Annabelle’s husband. Other than knowing more about her idol, she figured Annabelle could also get to know her husband better. 

When Timothy heard this, he did not say anything further. Other than taking out the work photos and posters of Lucas that he had hidden, he also brought several photo albums from home. 

After confirming that her father–in–law was willing, Annabelle selected her idol’s photo poster carefully. Only then did she start to admire her husband’s photo with Mary and Susan. 

It was said that from birth to middle school, there were very few photos of middle school. It was said that he did not like to take photos, and there were even fewer photos from high school onwards. 

However, there were more photos taken when he was young. 

After that, there was laughter being heard from the living room from time to time. Listening to them, Lucas, who was in the lounge next door, was still puzzled. He wondered, “What kind of photo did Annabelle look at to make her laugh like this?” He had no idea that both Timothy and Mary had taken out his childhood photo for Annabelle. 

All parents were proud of their children, and it seemed to be common for them to take photos of their children to keep those funny and interesting moments. Of course, there were all kinds of photos in Lucas’s photo albums. 

In any case, Lucas never wanted to see the photo album a second time. For this reason, he even asked his mother to destroy the photo album. Although his mother didn’t destroy it, she promised him that she wouldn’t show it to outsiders. 

Mary felt that she did not break her promise. She did not let outsiders see it. She only showed that to Annabelle. For her, Annabelle was definitely not an outsider as she was going to spend the rest of her life with Lucas. 

“You guys are already married. This is Lucas’s private property. Now, I’ll leave it to you to safeguard it!” After looking through the albums, Mary handed the two photo albums that belonged to Lucas to Annabelle and told her using a solemn tone. 

“Really? Can I keep it?” Annabelle hugged the photo albums and asked uncertainly. She figured if she was in a bad mood in the future, she would definitely feel better after looking at these photos of Lucas. 

“Of course!” Mary smiled and said, “I’ll put it in a bag for you. Don’t let Lucas find out. He really wants to destroy these!” 

Mary whispered the last sentence into Annabelle’s ear. 

Annabelle nodded obediently. 

When Benjamin saw this, he did not know if he should sympathize with Lucas.

Chapter 32 

However, Annabelle was really very cute! He thought to himself that he also wanted to find such a girlfriend in the future! 

“Annabelle, do you have any single friends? If you have someone suitable, introduce them to me!” Benjamin said with a smile. “I’m young, motivated, and responsible. I will definitely be a good boyfriend!” 

As the youngest child of the Walker family, Benjamin was someone who was capable. During his university days, he received 100 million dollars as his start–up capital from Lucas with a proposal he made. Over the past two years, he had been steadily making progress. Although it could not compare to a big company, he surely had a bright future ahead of him. 

“Friends who are single?” When Annabelle heard this, her face immediately became serious. “I only have one good friend. The others are just acquaintances!” She did not have a lot of good friends, most of them were just people she would greet politely if she met them. 

“Just one will do!” Benjamin apparently was very enthusiastic. He was not picky at all! 

“Hmm… Probably no…” Annabelle said very seriously. “She’s a scientist. She’s too busy to date!” 

Benjamin fell silent. 

As a scientist, he himself didn’t dare to date a scientist. He was also afraid that his intelligence couldn’t keep up. 

He wondered why did such a good person like Annabelle only have one good friend. 

Annabelle did not know how to answer this question. She did not know how to maintain a friendship. It was not that she did not have any other good friends in the past. Indeed, she had a close friend before. That person’s family was relatively struggling financially Therefore, when they went out together, she would fight to pay the bill. Every day when she went to school, she shared delicious food with her. When she bought something that she did not need, she would ask her if she needed it. She felt that she was helping her, but she accidentally heard others complain that she looked down on others. Some said that she was high and mighty, and even said that she threw the trash that she did not want to others like she was giving alms to a beggar! 

Annabelle forgot how she felt at that time. However, from then on, she was no longer willing to build friendships with others. 

“Well, just help me take a look. If you meet someone good, don’t forget to introduce them to me!” Benjamin said seriously. 

Annabelle nodded as she agreed to that. 

On the other side, Mary had already packed the photo album and asked Benjamin to send it to the door. She told them to bring it along when they went back. 

Annabelle took the time to go to the bathroom. When she came out, she happened to meet Elizabeth.
