Connor smiled disapprovingly. He looked at Annette and said, "It's up to you. Anyway, I can tell the truth at any time and don't mind others' gossip about us."
Although they were at loggerheads, the way they talked to each other looked intimate.
Alina walked in and ran into the scene.
Annette glanced at Alina and rolled her eyes at Connor in embarrassment. She said softly, "You are hurting me."
Connor kissed her on the cheek and said, "How about this?"
Annette's face instantly turned red. She pouted and said, "Stop messing with me. They are watching us."
Connor smiled at her lovingly. "Don't be shy. They are my family."
Alina stopped in her tracks because it had been a long time since she had seen Connor smile so gently.
Was Annette so special to him?
Marcus pushed Lucas in, and they sat down around the dining table.
Connor said, "Dwayne, go get a bottle of red wine."
Dwayne fetched a bottle of red wine and served it.
