Chapter 41 Unlucky Benjamin âIâm afraid youâll wait. Letâs go to the airport first,â Annalise said.
Julian nodded. âOkay.â
He reached out and rubbed Annaliseâs head. âSorry, I promised to accompany you and Uncle Kent to discuss shares.â
âItâs fine. Itâs more important to see how your grandpa is doing. Letâs go.â
Annalise sat in the passenger seat. Julian leaned over and fastened Annaliseâs seat belt. Then, he handed her a carrier bag. âHere.â
âHuh?â Annalise took the bag and smelled the fragrance.
âI bought breakfast for you on the way. You can have some first. If we have time at the airport later, we can eat more,â Julian said.
âThank you!â Annalise opened the bag and saw the hot breakfast inside. Her heart warmed.
In the past year, although Uncle Kent had brought her over, they had never cared if she ate or not.
Anyway, she would eat it if she made it. If she didnât, she wouldnât eat.
Julianâs grandfather was now in a bad condition. Julian was in a hurry and did not forget to bring her breakfast.
That detail alone warmed her heart.
âAre you only buying one serving?â Annalise asked when he saw that there was only one serving of breakfast. âYes, Iâm driving. Itâs not convenient for me to eat. It doesnât matter. Iâll eat on the plane later,â
Julian said. âOkay,â Annalise replied.
There was only one cup of soy milk, so it wasnât convenient to share it. She left it untouched. Then, she broke the sandwich in half and ate half of it.
She broke the cupcake in half again and ate half of it.
After that, she called Julian to stop the car. âJulian, weâre not on the highway yet. Stop the car.â
âWhatâs wrong?â Julian asked.
âPull over,â Annalise said.
âOkay.â Julian stopped the car.
Annalise got out of the car.
Once Annalise got out of the car, Julian immediately followed.
Annalise walked around to the driverâs seat and said with a smile, âIâll drive and see what it feels like driving a fancy car.â
Julian smiled dotingly. âOkay.â
He decisively got into the passenger seat.
Annalise placed the bag on the seat and Julian immediately picked it up.
As soon as he picked it up, he saw that it was a little messy. Half of the sandwich was left, and half of the cupcake was left. The soy milk was still steaming.
Annalise held the steering wheel and turned to look at Julian. âFasten your seat belt.â
âOkay.â Julian fastened his seat belt.
Annalise added, âThe sandwich and cake are for you. You should eat some too. Donât worry, I didnât do it by mouth. I tore them with my hands.â
Julianâs hand was holding the bag and it trembled slightly. âOkay!â
He couldnât reject her kindness.
He thought about buying her breakfast, and she thought about saving half for him. That was really good.
Putting aside all the money and interests, returning to how people should behave.
Annalise said, âtake the soy milk. I donât like that stuff.â
âOkay,â Julian replied.
His intuition told him that it wasnât that she didnât like to drink it, but that she wanted to leave it for him.
She was really a kind and considerate person, and Julian thought what Benjamin missed.
However, he also had to thank Benjamin. Otherwise, he really wouldnât have had such a chance.
Annalise was already driving. Julian was eating a sandwich and occasionally glancing sideways at Annalise. She drove straight onto the highway and sped up.
She looked focused and drove steadily.
He wondered for a moment if she had ever raced a car.
On the other side.
Hamilton Hotel.
Alexander had just watched Julian leave. He was very surprised, wondering why Julian went out at six and what Julian was busy about.
He was about to call someone to prepare breakfast when he saw his father came out.
âDad, why are you up so early?â Alexander asked.
âI canât sleep well,â Tony said in a low voice.
âSomething about buying something for Julian to please Annalise?â Alexander asked.
Tony looked even worse.
Alexander advised, âDad, havenât you always hoped that I could become Parks Groupâs true heir?
Actually, from another perspective, itâs beneficial for me to have Julian marry Annalise.â
Tonyâs expression was still ugly. âYes, itâs beneficial to you, but where am I going to put my face? How am I gonna carry myself then?â
Alexander fell silent. After a few seconds of silence, he said, âIâm afraid Julian wonât listen to you. Now that heâs chasing Annalise very closely, I wondered if he was deliberately trying to spite you. Itâs only six oâclock, but heâs already gone out.â
In other words, they didnât have any business at Horington. If they didnât go out at six oâclock, what else could it be?
âHe left the house at six oâclock?â Tony suddenly frowned.
âYes,â Alexander replied.
âAlexander, we have to return to Jadeborough immediately,â Tony suddenly said.
âDad, whatâs wrong?â Seeing his fatherâs anxious expression, Alexander immediately asked.
âAbigailâs medical skills are not bad, right? Bring her along. Hurry up,â Tony said again.
âDad, whatâs wrong?â Alexander also frowned.
âYour grandpa might have a problem with his body. Quick, have Abigail come along. No matter what your grandfatherâs situation is, if Abigail can make a contribution, itâs equivalent to you making a contribution. Right now, you have a good amount of support in the family. With a little more support, you have a chance to inherit Parks Group,â Tony said.
âWhatâs wrong with grandpa?â Alexander asked as he called Abigail.
As soon as the call went through, Alexander said in a gentle tone, âBaby, are you awake? Thereâs something I need your help with. I might need you to accompany me back to the Parks family immediately. My supporters want to see you.â
When Abigail heard that the supporters wanted to see her, she could not help but worry.
Alexander smiled and said, âBaby, donât worry. Iâm here. Since they support me, they will definitely respect my decision and support you. Also, when they see Annalise, they will naturally know how outstanding you are.â âAnnalise is going too?â Hearing that Annalise was going too, Abigail immediately became excited.
âRight,â Alexander said.
âOkay, when do we leave?â Abigail asked.
âLetâs set off immediately and see if we can catch the eight oâclock flight,â Alexander said.
âAlright, can you pick me up?â Abigail asked.
âBaby, get the Barton familyâs driver to send you to the airport. Weâll meet there. I still have to contact the Parks family,â Alexander said.
âAlright.â Abigail was slightly unhappy, but he still agreed.
After hanging up, Alexander asked Tony, âDad, whatâs wrong with grandpa?â
âLast night, he was on the phone with me, I think he fainted. I didnât care at that time. I asked Gilderoy, and he said that your grandfather was fine. That traitor actually dared to lie to me!â Tony was full of anger.
Alexander frowned. âHe fainted? I wonder if the situation is complicated. Abigailâs medical skills canât compare to those famous doctors in Jadeborough.â
Tonyâs eyes flashed with a calculating light as he said, âIt doesnât matter who cured it. As long as everyone. believes that Abigail cured him, it will be Abigail who cured him.â
Alexander immediately reacted and his eyes lit up. âYes! There is no truth in this world, only the way it is spread. People can only see what we want them to see.
