The sun was blazing hot above. As the black Rolls–Royce came to a stop, Alison eagerly got out of the car. She pulled Drake’s hand and went inside a nearby restaurant. She had visited this Griffin cuisine restaurant before. Although she had only been there once, she remembered the food being very authentic, with dishes exclusive to that region. When it was time to order, she placed the menu before Drake. “I’m quite indecisive, so you pick!” He didn’t refuse and slowly selected about seven or eight dishes. The dishes were served promptly, and it didn’t take long for the table to be filled. Alison picked up her fork and started to taste the food. But after a few bites, she was shocked to discover that every dish was her favorite. Her heart couldn’t help but flutter. A wave of sadness overcame her, almost bringing her to tears. She never expected that he would remember all of her favorites. Yet, she had no idea what his preferences were. She wanted to smack herself suddenly for being so selfish. When Drake noticed that she had stopped eating, he tried a few dishes before asking, “Why aren’t you eating? Is it not Chappy + tasty?” Sniffling, Alison answered, “No. It’s delicious. ” She continued to eat but couldn’t help but stare at Drake sitting across from her. After a while, Drake began to feel uneasy under her gaze. He set down his fork and scowled as he asked, “What do you want? Do you think using a soft approach will work since. the hard way didn’t?” For a minute, Alison was taken aback by his question. All she was doing was trying to analyze his food preferences. However, even if she had claimed that she was observing him to know him more, he wouldn’t trust her due to her prior actions. Alison shifted the topic and gently said, “I’m returning to the Anderson residence tonight. Would you like to come along?” It was now Drake’s turn to be surprised. He hadn’t anticipated her to say that. According to his understanding of Alison, she would want to remain far away and ideally never return to that house. But now she was inviting him. back there. After some thought, he concluded that she had to be up to something. He abruptly stood up and uttered coldly,” Whatever your strategy is, it won’t work. Because I refuse to agree to it!” He then turned and walked away. His tall figure gradually Chapter 4 vanished beyond the entrance. Alison couldn’t help but sigh. It seemed that she had been. too eager.

Returning there seemed strange after experiencing another life, yet she could still clearly remember the past. As soon as she entered the house, Alison nodded and grinned at the housekeeper, Erica Wagner. When she saw. Alison, she stood for a long while in amazement. Alison chuckled at her astonishment and headed upstairs without a word. She opened the bedroom door and was immediately struck by the cozy familiarity of the furniture. and decor. Everything was arranged just how she liked it, exactly like her room in the Tucker residence. Drake had obviously given. a lot of thought to the room decoration. But the person she had been before hadn’t been grateful. As Alison was lost in memories, her phone rang. It was Chelsea. She answered it and heard a calm and sweet voice asking, ” Ally, where are you?” “The Anderson residence,” she answered truthfully. After two seconds of silence, Chelsea’s voice turned sharp as she shouted, “Why did you go back there? I really don’t Chande I understand what you’re thinking!” With a smirk, Alison answered calmly, “This is my husband’s home, so I naturally need to come back here. Besides, I can’t return. Knowing my father, he would send me back here. ” Chelsea clenched her phone firmly on the other end. She was sure something was wrong with Alison. Her return to the Anderson residence meant she had more time with Drake. This was the last thing Chelsea wanted to see. A cold glint flashed in her eyes as she gripped the phone and continued with a chuckle, “I didn’t mean that. Well, I’m calling to let you know there’s a class reunion tomorrow Liam will be there as well, so I’m calling to invite you. ” When Alison heard this, she couldn’t help but sneer at how Chelsea was really impatient about getting rid of her. If she recalled correctly, Chelsea had set her up at the reunion after drinking some wine. At that time, she was unaware of what had happened and followed Liam into the room. Thankfully, Drake arrived just in time. The incident caused an uproar between the Tucker and Anderson families, who had to step in to quell the matter. Alison chuckled coldly in her heart. She wondered if Chelsea was going to pull the same trick once more. The Alison who listened to her every command was no Chap 4 longer alive. Since Chelsea wanted to play, Alison would gladly play along to the end.
