Chapter 36 Candy Candy? Again? Who was Candy?

Annabel snapped, "Rupert, enough! Let go of my hand! Who the hell is Candy?"

Her attitude was like ice-cold water that poured on Rupert.It instantly extinguished his enthusiasm.

Clearly, she was not Candy.

Candy wouldn't resist him like this.

Rupert let go of her hand and sat up straight.

Then he leaned back in the chair again, his face now back to its usual coldness.

He picked the button and asked, "Why was my button in your possession?"

Annabel rubbed her aching hand and said angrily, "You were drunk last night.You lay on the floor and refused to get up.I must have pulled the button off accidentally when I carried you upstairs."

Rupert's eyebrows shot up.

"So, you were the one who took me back to my room last night?"

"Yes.But later, Cathy said she wanted to carry you.You two seem to be really close," Annabel said with a meaning look.

She wished Rupert could understand her insinuation.

But Rupert was only thinking of Candy.

Besides, he only saw Cathy as his cousin and never thought anything else of her, and neither did he know how she felt about him.

As a result, he didn't understand what Annabel implied.

What happened last night came back to his mind again.

Though he was drunk at the time, the feeling was very real.He knew he saw Candy.He held her hand and talked to her.
