Alison wasn’t ready to break off her friendship with Chilsen just yet, as this was only the first of many scores that needed to be settled between them. “Chelsea, since Drake has come specifically to pick in up, I won’t be staying with you. ” With a charming. smile, Alison put her arms around Drake’s. As they were about to leave, Chelsea quickly grabbed lier. “Wait a minute!” “What? Is there anything else that you need?” Alison naked. Chelsea was unwilling to let Drake go after finally seeing him, particularly not when he was leaving with Alison. She smiled awkwardly and said, “Ally, it seems like you haven’t had much fun today. Why don’t we all stay and have some fun together now that Drake and Liam are here?” Alison sneered inwardly at the word “fun” before replying. “Chelsea, you know Drake doesn’t like loud places. It’s fine. We’ll call it a day. ” On a night like this, she had no desire to stir up trouble, and certainly not with Chelsea’s antics. turned to Drake and smiled. “Darling, wait here for a moment. I’ll go take my bag. ” Alison Drake nodded a little. Chelsea’s lips quivered with anger. She never expected that Alison would decline her invitation. She wondered what was wrong with her, but she couldn’t press the issue further since Drake had agreed. As she remembered the awkward incident earlier, she explained with embarrassment, “Drake, tonight was a misunderstanding. I must have seen it wrongly. But I was just worried about Allson. ” Upon hearing her explanation, Drake merely gave her a cold glance. This instantly made her even more uneasy. At this moment, Alison walked over with her bag. “Chelsea, we’ll be leaving now. Have fun tonight!” Without waiting for her reply, Alison and Drake left the hotel hand–in–hand. Chelsea watched them leave with clenched fists and nails digging into her palms. Her jealousy was intensifying, and she longed to rip Alison apart. She couldn’t understand how Alison deserved to be with such an excellent man. She should be the next to Drake. Then, she heard a chuckle beside her ear. “Looks like you set me up tonight, didn’t you?” She turned to see Liam approaching him in his bathrobe. She scowled and denied it. “What do you mean by that? I didn’t set you up. He chuckled once again. “Stop pretending. I see your plans right through you. But I didn’t think you would be interested in Drake. I never thought you were a home–wrecker!” Instantly, Chelsea’s face turned red for being called out, and her breathing quickened as she snapped, Liam, stop talking nonsense!” “Nonsense? Do you know that the way you look at Drake is as if you want to devour him? You tried to match me up with Alison for your own benefit, right?” Liam laid everything out clearly. “What do you want?” She instantly got mad. However, he laughed lightly at her response. “You don’t have to be so agitated. I just want to work with you. ” She couldn’t help but raise her guard. “How do you want to work with me?” “It’s easy. You want Drake, and I want Alison. If you help me get Alison, you can focus entirely on getting Drake. ” Upon hearing this, Chelsea was tempted. It was hard to plot against Alison by herself, especially since she was becoming harder to control. A second set of hands would be helpful. After some consideration, she agreed to it. “Alright, deal!” After leaving the hotel, Drake instantly withdrew his hand and kept his distance from her. But Alison didn’t give up and shamelessly grabbed his hand once again. “Let go!” He scowled and tried to swing her off with some effort She tightened her grip and said, “I won’t let go. ” When he realized he couldn’t get rid of her, he let her cling to him. After they had both buckled up in the car, Drake couldn’t help but reflect on tonight’s event. The more he thought about Chelsea, the more he found her odd. He couldn’t help but caution Alison, “Stay away from Chelsea. She’s more complex than you think. ” When Alison heard this, she felt a tinge of shame.

But she was stupid not to see through it. Overcome with emotion, Alison leaned in to give him a firm embrace and said obediently, “Okay. I’ll listen to you from now on. ” The frown on Drake’s forehead deepened. In the past two days, he could clearly feel a change in her behavior. If he had said those things earlier, she would’ve gone furious But now, she was behaving so lovingly and submissively, which was odd. When he saw that she was still holding on, he said, “I’m going to drive now. Let go of me. ” A: her lip and freed him temporarily. Minutes later, they arrived at the Anderson residence. Once Drake had walked Alison to the door, he said. indifferently, “Go in and rest. ” Afterward, before he could take a step, he felt a warm embrace from the back. “Don’t leave. ” Alison couldn’t hold herself back and hugged him. “Drake, don’t leave. I won’t let you go. ” However, she hadn’t anticipated that her action would be Drake’s last straw. “What do you really want?” He turned to face her as his eyes burned with fire. He approached her step by step, and his dominant demeanor was so powerful that it felt suffocating. This was the first time Alison had seen him like this. She backed away slightly with fear. “…” “Stop the pretentious act and tell me what you want!” Drake couldn’t take it anymore. Ever since their engagement, she had shown strange loving behavior, which was very out of character.
