You Are My One and Only

Chapter 105

Everybody was very courteous toward Adeline, and Tobias poured a cup of wine for her.

“Addy, since it’s Annabelle’s birthday today, you must drink with us.”

Adeline was somewhat shocked at this since Tobias, who would usually ignore her, actually poured a cup of wine for her.

Raising her eyebrows, she was feeling a bit uneasy.

But since my mother is here, then everyone should know where I went today. I am the future Mrs. Arnold, so how could they not afford to suck up to me?

Feeling very high and mighty of herself, she only took a sip after toasting while all the others emptied their cup. Yet, nobody dared to say anything about this.

On the other hand, Patricia was comforting Darcie through text, so she did not know what was going on.

Closing in on her, Annabelle asked, “What are you doing, Patricia? Look at how smug Adeline is being right now. I wanted to let her spend a lot to make her feel the pain, but she’s feeling so high and mighty instead. Everyone has turned into a sycophant. It’s a disgusting sight to behold.”

Patricia then looked up to see everyone surrounding Adeline with some of them even wanting to know about the ongoings of the Arnolds.

“It’s not impossible to get to know Isaac, but he has his own set of rules. So, he will not break them just for me.”

What Adeline meant was that it would be impossible to get to know Isaac through her.

Maybe as relatives, but not as business partners.

Andy stated coldly, “Stop making it so hard on Addy. After all, she just got together with the person, and you all are thinking of taking advantage of their relationship? We’ll be relatives after she gets married, so why are all of you in such a hurry?”

With a sneer, he then sipped from the wine glass.

“My daughter, being the outstanding individual she is, naturally attracts similarly talented men,” he said this before glancing at Patricia. She’s different from this brat. She’s not even comparable to Addy.

Even though Patricia felt her father’s disdainful gaze, she chose to ignore it. After all, she came here for Annabelle’s sake. She chose to put up with it since she wouldn’t be seeing the Aniston Family’s faces again.

Yet, Adeline suddenly asked, “Annabelle, what did Patricia give you? You’ll have to take into consideration that she has three kids to feed, so she can’t give you anything branded.”

The mother and daughter duo enjoyed bringing up Patricia’s children whenever they had the opportunity, as they liked to add insult to injury.

Rolling her eyes, Annabelle retorted, “I like whatever Patricia gives me!”

“Take it out and let us have a look then!”

Adeline reached out in determination to make Patricia humiliate her.

Then, Patricia’s phone rang. When she noticed it was Isaac calling, she dared not refuse the call.

Now that she was his personal secretary, she needed to be on-call 24/7, which was why her salary was so high.

“Hello.”

“Where are you?”

Hearing the man’s cold tone, Patricia took a glance at the table in front of her before softly replying, “Is there anything I can help you with, President Arnold?”

“Where are you?”

Patricia frowned at his words. Why is he not replying to me and only repeating the same question?

“I’m at The Wok of Fame.”

“Okay. I’m coming over to pick you up now. I want something sweet to drink tonight, so whip it up for me. Before you forget, remember to always cook and clean for me after you clock off.”

Hanging up, Patricia frowned. Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Since I still owe him over a hundred thousand, looks like I can’t avoid doing slave work even at night. She was relatively free in the past due to him being interstate for work reasons.

Raising Patricia’s gift so that everyone can see it, Annabelle stated, “This is what Patricia gave me. I’m going to unbox it when I get home, but I won’t show it to you.”
