“Isn’t it so? The beauty always falls for the prince charming that comes for the heroic rescue! This time round Alistair was the man. Are you telling me that you are not moved at all?” Dorie looked at Annabelle smilingly.
Annabelle looked back at her and said, “You know that the moths fly to their demise. I’m not an insect but a human being, hence I will most definitely not do something unwise like that!”
When Dorie heard her, she shook her head, “You have always been living so rigidly, playing by the rules!”
“If you don’t play by the rules, you are just at risk to sabotage your life!” Annabelle answered.
“That isn’t true, I could tell that Alistair is a changed man. Moreover, he had saved you so heroically and even my opinion towards him changed!” Dorie said.
To be honest, when Annabelle heard Dorie saying that, she was surprised. However, what the woman said was also the truth. Alistair was treating her completely different than before.
As Annabelle was listening to the woman, she frowned, “Did he bribe you?”
“Of course not!”
“If not, why are you speaking in favor for him?!” Annabelle asked.
“And I that kind of person? I am simply telling the truth!” Dorie replied assuredly.
When Annabelle heard her, she raised an eyebrow and stared at Dorie, “Are you telling me to get back together with him!?”
Dorie, “Miss… being touched and thankful are different from losing your rationality!”
When Annabelle saw Dorie’s expression, she burst into a laughter.
Dorie looked at her and she was actually saying that on purpose.
“But tell me the truth, are you really not moved?”
The moment she said that, Annabelle casted her memory back to the scene when Alistair appeared. He untied the ropes on her and she uncontrollably dived into his hug.
After Annabelle thought about that, she came back to her senses.
Dorie looked at Annabelle, “Are you all right? What were you thinking?”
“It’s nothing.” Annabelle shook her head.
At the same that, Dorie recalled something, “Alright, there is also Song Jing. I could tell that he had the odds for you… Oh dear, both of them are just so excellent, who should you choose…” Dorie muttered to herself.
Annabelle decided to ignore Dorie after listening to her!
They soon reached Annabelle’s house.
The two of them got up the stairs.
“Do you need me to stay here to accompany you?!” Dorie stared at her and asked.
“There’s no need. I’ll just rest for a day and go back to work tomorrow!” Annabelle answered.
“Going back to work tomorrow? Girl, aren’t you going to rest more?” Dorie looked at her and asked.
“I will only be overthinking if I rest at home. I might as well go back to the company. Moreover, I am completely fine!” Annabelle said.
Therefore, Dorie nodded in acknowledgment and gave her a thumbs-up, “You are such a strong and independent woman!”lightnoveldaily.com.
