Chapter 554: Chapter 554: What Did I Do Wrong?
’This man...’
Annabelle Linton couldn’t help but laugh when she heard him. Pushing him, she said, "Come on, get up, or you’ll be late."
Leona Grant hugged her, said nothing, and drifted back to sleep.
’Just how tired is he?’
Annabelle Linton didn’t know what to do.
She remembered his video conference last night. He had discussed a lot of things, and it seemed he had a packed schedule today. He absolutely had to go into the office.
She decided to try waking him a few more times.
The moment Annabelle Linton moved, Leona Grant hugged her tighter, his voice a little hoarse. "Don’t go. Let me hold you for a little while."
She gave a helpless smile and said softly, "It’s time for you to go to work."
Leona Grant opened his eyes, still holding her, and said pitifully, "What should I do? I don’t want to go anymore..."
"Then what do you want to do?"
"Stay with my wife..."
Annabelle Linton was speechless. "Leona Grant, do you know what you’re acting like right now?"
"What?"
"An elementary school student."
Leona Grant: "..."
He opened his eyes and gave her a wounded look, muttering unhappily, "You don’t love me."
"..." ’Here we go again.’
"You don’t like me."
"..." ’I’m speechless.’
"I’m not in your heart."
"..." ’I don’t even know what to say anymore.’
"So, I’ve decided to stay home and recuperate for a day to nurse my wounded little heart."
Annabelle Linton: "..."
’What a ridiculously grand excuse. I can’t even...’
’A wounded little heart?’
Annabelle Linton closed her eyes for a moment, then said coolly, "Leona Grant, I’ve made a decision about us."
A bad feeling suddenly washed over Leona Grant. Opening his eyes to look at her, he asked uneasily, "What kind of decision?"
"Starting today, let’s sleep in separate rooms. That way..."
"Absolutely not!"
Annabelle Linton hadn’t even finished speaking before Leona Grant shot her down. He sat bolt upright in bed, gripping her shoulders. Frowning, he asked anxiously, "Did I do something wrong? Why would we sleep separately? I refuse."
Annabelle Linton’s lips curved into a sly smile. She said mischievously, "I knew you were pretending. See? You’re up now, aren’t you? Now hurry and get ready for work."
Leona Grant: "..."
’I can’t believe she was just calling my bluff!’
’So frustrating.’
’Then again, this was the first time Annabelle had ever been so devious.’
After hearing her, Leona Grant shamelessly flopped back onto the bed. "You scared me again," he said, playing the victim. "So now I’ve decided to rest at home for two days."
"..."
’Seriously, she felt like she was trying to wake up her son...’
She pressed her lips together, looking at him, a little annoyed.
Seeing that she looked genuinely angry, Leona Grant said in a small voice, "How about you give me a kiss, then... If you kiss me, I’ll get up."
Annabelle Linton looked at him, her expression blank and unreadable.
Leona Grant pursed his lips, reached a hand out to her, and said pitifully, "Then can you pull me up, please?"
"..."
Annabelle Linton sighed and helplessly pulled him up. ’This man is really something else...’
’She really wanted to facepalm.’
She didn’t give him any more time to procrastinate. After pulling him to a sitting position, she grabbed his shirt from the closet and handed it to him. Annabelle Linton then walked toward the door, tossing over her shoulder, "Hurry up, get washed, and come downstairs for breakfast," before disappearing.
"Heartless woman..."
Seeing Annabelle Linton had left, Leona Grant didn’t dawdle anymore. He quickly got out of bed, washed up, got dressed, and went downstairs.
On the dining table, Annabelle Linton had prepared a sumptuous breakfast. Leona Grant’s eyes lit up. "Is all this for me?"
’...He was acting like he’d never had a home-cooked meal in his life.’
