With haste, Alison got up and ran after him. She hugged Drake tightly from the back and pleaded, “Drake, don’t be like this. ” He scowled before asking, “What are you doing?” She held him closer and remarked in a pitiful tone, “I’m hungry. Can you carry me downstairs?

Drake pursed his lips upon feeling her weight on him. He wrapped his arms around Alison from the back and pulled her into his embrace. He really couldn’t understand her. “Alison, what do you want?” He gritted his teeth in frustration. Up close, Alison saw his exquisite features and flawless skin. They were so perfect that not even his pores were visible. Once again, she was captivated by his flawlessness.

Left with no choice, he tightened his grip on her body and carried her downstairs. 22 When the maids downstairs saw the scenario, they were all shocked and thought they were hallucinating. Erica was the only one happy to see them being so affectionate with each other. She hurried over and served them food.

Since such good news had occurred, she had to report it. “How are the couple getting along lately?” Matilda asked gently over the phone.
