Chapter 761: Chapter 761: Take Care of Yourself, Wait for Me to Come Back

Leona Grant slowly slid down until he was in front of her.

He pressed his forehead to hers, his hands wandering restlessly over her body. The corners of his lips curved into a wicked smile. "I can get even wilder," he said mischievously. "Want to try?"

As he spoke, his hand slipped deftly under her nightgown.

Annabelle Linton looked down at the nightgown she was wearing, feeling a little confused.

’When did I put on clothes?’

The truth was, she had been so exhausted last night that she’d passed out. Leona Grant had carried her to the bath, washed her, and changed her into a clean nightgown.

Before Annabelle Linton could even process what was happening, Leona Grant lifted her gown and slid inside her.

Just as Annabelle Linton was about to say something, he silenced her with a kiss.

...

They stayed tangled together like that until the afternoon.

Time truly was the most heartless thing. It moved neither fast nor slow, never granting a moment’s reprieve. All too soon, it was time for Annabelle Linton to leave for Serenvale.

When Leona Grant woke up, Annabelle Linton was already packing.

She was wearing a light-colored blouse and light makeup. A loose French braid was draped over her left shoulder. Wearing a pair of slippers, she was kneeling on the floor, packing her suitcase.

Leona Grant watched her bustling figure with a heavy heart. The thought of their impending separation already made him miserable.

In truth, he didn’t want to be separated from her at all.

But he had no choice...

He could usually charm or pout his way out of other things, but not this.

Leona Grant got out of bed. Just as she always did, Annabelle Linton had laid out a fresh change of clothes for him. He took them and went to shower.

By the time he finished his shower, Annabelle Linton had finished packing everything.

He was in the middle of buttoning his shirt when Annabelle Linton noticed and walked over to do it for him.

Leona Grant looked at her reproachfully without speaking.

Annabelle Linton knew how he felt, but there was nothing she could do.

And so, they drove to the airport in silence.

He could have just sent her by helicopter, but Leona Grant wanted to go with her to the airport. That way, he could spend at least another half hour with her.

But even the longest road comes to an end. Half an hour later, they arrived at the airport.

Leona Grant handed the luggage to a member of his staff and told them to handle the check-in.

Annabelle Linton would be the only passenger on the plane. Leona Grant had chartered the entire aircraft for her.

He wrapped his arm around her waist, his brow furrowed. "Remember to miss me," he instructed.

"Okay."

"Call me if anything happens, and remember to take care of yourself."

"Okay."

"You have to call me every day. Three times a day, not a single one less. Call me anytime. It doesn’t matter how late it is; I’ll pick up on the first ring. Got it?"

"Okay."

"When you get there, make sure you eat your meals on time and get enough rest. Just think of it as a trip to have fun with your friends. Don’t overthink things."

"Okay."

Leona Grant had a lot to say today, but Annabelle Linton showed no signs of impatience. Instead, she listened patiently, agreeing to each of his demands in earnest.

Leona Grant stared at her, finally giving her a quick peck on the lips. "Don’t hide anything from me, no matter what happens. And you have to tell me if you run into any trouble. Do you understand?!"

His words struck her like an arrow to the heart, and a dazed look crossed Annabelle Linton’s face.

When she didn’t answer, Leona Grant turned her face towards him. "Don’t tell me I guessed right? Forget it. You’d better not go. Annabelle Linton, you have a history of this sort of thing. It’s not the first time you’ve hidden things from me. You..."

Annabelle Linton wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a kiss. "Don’t worry," she said softly. "I’ll do everything you said. You have to take good care of yourself, too. Wait for me to come back, okay?"
