And since she made herself so clear, Ralphy wouldn’t want to continue to pester her and risk ruining their relationship.
“Alright, if you say so, your brother will give you his full support!”
Annabelle relieved and cheered, “Thanks bro! Don’t you worry, I’ll be just fine!”
“Ok!”
“Alright alright~ Let’s eat!” Dorie interjected.
The dinner continued in a cheerful atmosphere.
When they were done, Ralphy offered to send both of them home. Annabelle then insisted to be sent home first, according to her, she had urgent matters to attend to.
When they reached her housing area, Annabelle got out the car and looked at them cheekily, “Hey bro, you must make sure to send Dorie back safely yea~”
“Ok!” He nodded.
The three drank a little during the dinner. Dorie was not so well versed with alcoholic drinks and she was a little tipsy.
“Alright, drive safe!”
“Annabelle!” Ralphy walked out his car and called out to her.
“Huh? Yes bro?”
Looking at her innocent face, Ralphy frowned, “Umm, you…”
“Yes~?”
He stared at Annabelle for a while and words couldn’t come out from his mouth… Finally, he muttered, “Beware of Yoi!”
Annabelle’s eyebrow loured into a frown, “What happened?”
“Just be careful. And always be more vigilant!” He reminded.
Looking at her brother’s serious demeanour, Annabelle nodded obediently, “Mm, alright!”
“Ok, get up then!”
“Ok, see you!”
“See you!”
“Make sure you take good care of Dorie!!” And Annabelle got up the stairs.
Ralphy stood at the doorway and watched as she left.
