Chapter 706: Annabelle Linton’s One and Only Husband
Annabelle Linton was just about to pay with her card when Leona Grant suddenly turned and left.
"It doesn’t need a PIN."
Annabelle Linton handed the card to the staff member, then hurried over to Leona Grant, looking at him in confusion. "Where are you going?"
Leona Grant said petulantly, "You didn’t even invite me to come with you. What am I still standing here for?"
Annabelle Linton looked at his childish face. It was so handsome, yet it had an added touch of cuteness.
She said with a smile, "I wasn’t planning on inviting you."
"You—"
Annabelle Linton looked at him with mock disdain and said, exasperated, "You’re my husband. Shouldn’t you go wherever I go? Do I really need to invite you?"
After saying that, she turned and walked back into the store, ignoring him.
The corners of Leona Grant’s mouth couldn’t help but curve up. He shamelessly followed her.
’That was just how he was,’ she thought. ’The moment she showed him a little kindness, he’d forget all about being angry.’
The two of them browsed, stopping here and there, and picked out quite a few things. Leona Grant held her hand the entire time and never let go.
As they were walking, Leona Grant asked, "For the birthday, shouldn’t we order them a cake?"
Annabelle Linton immediately deflated at the mention of this.
She said dejectedly, "I forgot about their birthday. That cake needs to be ordered three or four days in advance. It’s definitely too late to order it now."
Leona Grant took out his phone, a roguish smile playing on his lips. "A piece of cake. Tell me what kind they need."
Annabelle Linton looked at him, pleasantly surprised, and asked uncertainly, "You have a way?"
Leona Grant looked at her expectant and surprised expression, reached out to flick her forehead, and said with a smile, "Have you forgotten who I am?"
Annabelle Linton looked at him proudly. ’He’s so handsome all of a sudden,’ she thought.
"Who are you?"
"The one and only invincible being in the entire universe; Annabelle Linton’s one-of-a-kind, suave, distinguished, incredibly handsome, dashing, and devastatingly gorgeous husband, Leona Grant."
Annabelle Linton was amused by him and said with mock disgust, "Leona Grant, have you no shame?"
"Nope. Don’t want any."
"Congratulations on officially joining the ranks of the shameless today."
"The feeling is mutual."
After they spoke, they couldn’t help but laugh.
Leona Grant wasn’t someone who smiled often, but he always did around her. And when he smiled, he had a deadly allure.
Annabelle Linton told him what kind of cake the children liked. Leona Grant gave the order: no matter what it took, have the required amount ready within the hour.
The two of them continued shopping for a long time after that, buying many things.
By the end, they had bought pretty much everything they would need.
Once they were sure there was nothing else to buy, the two of them headed to the orphanage.
When they arrived at the orphanage, the place was already decorated with colorful little balloons and banners. The birthday atmosphere was thick in the air.
Right after, the cake truck arrived. The children cheered wildly, and the director was dumbfounded.
’What is going on?’
Annabelle Linton smiled, took Leona Grant’s hand, and they got out of the car and walked inside together.
Sharp-eyed children spotted Annabelle Linton and shrieked, "Annabelle is here!"
Then all the little kids rushed up to hug Annabelle Linton.
"Annabelle, why haven’t you come in so long? Mia missed you so much."
"Annabelle, did you forget about Dottie? Dottie missed you a lot too."
"Annabelle, you’re finally here! The director called you so many times, but you didn’t answer. Tally thought you didn’t want us anymore, WAAAH..."
One child started crying, and then everyone started crying. The scene got a little out of control.
Leona Grant watched how popular Annabelle Linton was, observing her with great interest.
