Connor did not want his vacation with Annette to be ruined, so he booked two tickets to Hawaii that afternoon.
At night, Connor and Annette checked into the hotel. When they were about to make out, Marcus called.
Connor held the phone and cursed in his heart, 'Why does Marcus always pick such a time?'
Connor picked up the phone. Marcus asked, "Connor, did you really bring Annette to Hawaii?"
"So? Do you have any problems with it?"
"Connor, you guys are going too far! You actually left me here and went out to have fun."
"Do you want to tag along and be the third wheel? I'm trying to be considerate, so I didn't bring you. You should be thankful. For the time being, just stay at home and that's all I'm asking."
"Connor, Alina is getting really moody now. If you leave me alone at home, I can't take care of her. She is a pregnant woman. I don't know how to take care of pregnant women."
"Why do you ask me about it?"
"I called Lucas, but he was still mad at her."
Connor touched Annette and said, "Do you want my suggestion?"
"Connor, you are the best."
"I remember your classmate is traveling abroad now. Maybe you shouldn't let her down since she asked you to join her."
Marcus immediately got the point.
The next morning, Marcus booked a flight.
Connor and Annette returned to Akron after the holiday in Hawaii.
Annette thought that Alina had already gone.
However, she was wrong.
However, this did not affect Annette's mood.
She thought that since she was going back to school the next day, she wouldn't run into Alina anyway.
On the first day of work, Annette gave her three colleagues the gifts she bought from Hawaii.
At noon, Annette and Sara went out for lunch.
They chatted about their holidays.
During the holiday, Sara kept in contact with Zachary.
Sara told Annette that Jennifer's family had never caused any trouble after the day Zachary fought back.
However, before Sara went on holiday, Jennifer looked for Zachary once again after he was discharged from the hospital.
Zachary promised Jennifer that he would not go back to the house. After that, Jennifer never appeared in front of him again.
Annette couldn't help but ask, "Have you made any progress with Zachary?"
Sara said helplessly, "No. To get his attention, I updated my Twitter almost every day. But, he never left me a message. I think he really isn't interested. Do you think I still have a shot with him?"
Annette did not have much experience in relationships, but she tried hard to help Sara come up with ideas. Annette said, "Actually, I have an idea."
Sara was immediately filled with hope again. "Tell me about it."
"If your current plan doesn't work, then change it and start with people around him."
Sara shook her head. "What do you mean?"
"I mean William and Barbara."
Sara quickly waved her hand and said, "No, I can't."
"Maybe Zachary didn't see your posts on Twitter at all. I think you have to let him pay attention to you. You have to ask him out or let him see you often. Which one do you prefer?"
"I guess if I ask him out, he will refuse me."
"So," Annette said seriously, "I will call Barbara later. I will take you to his house for dinner tonight."
"I'm a little nervous."
Annette nudged her and said with a smile, "You're a great girl. What is there to worry about?"
Annette said as she called Barbara.
Sara stared at Annette nervously.
Sara did not know what Barbara said. She could only hear Annette speak.
"Barbara, this is Ann. Are you free tonight? I went to Hawaii a few days ago. I brought you and William some gifts. Do you mind if I bring them to you later? I really miss the food that William cooked. By the way, can I bring a friend with me? I always tell my friend that you and William are good at cooking, so she also wants to try it."
After talking to Barbara for a while, Annette hung up the phone and said to Sara, "It's done."
Sara felt worried the whole afternoon.
Before getting off work, Annette gave Connor a call.
After knowing that Annette was going to Joseph's house again, Connor was very unhappy.
"Why are you going to his house again?"
Annette knew that he would say so. She comforted him and said, "I'm not going alone. Sara is coming with me."
"So? Did she change her strategy?"
"There is my smart husband!"
"I know what you are planning. You only care about other people."
"Anyway, I have already reported it to you. Don't wait up tonight."
"You need to be home by 8:30. If you come back late, you will bear the consequences. Anyway, I've been resting the whole day, and I'm feeling really energetic now."
Annette screamed, "8:30? That is too early."
"It's a deal. I'm busy now. Got to go."
Hearing the busy tone from the other side of the line, Annette cursed, "Pervert."
After work, Annette took Sara to Joseph's house.
She introduced Sara to Barbara and William.
Sara always had a smile on her face and Barbara could not help but keep looking at Sara.
Zachary was very surprised to see Sara.
"Sara, so you are the friend that Ann said she would bring over."
Sara said, "Hi, Mr. Joshua. I hope I'm not interrupting."
"No, not at all. I'm just a little surprised. Welcome to our home."
Zachary and Sara knew each other, and when Barbara realized this, he couldn't help but look at Sara from time to time.
"Zachary, do you and Sara know each other?"
"Yes. Ann introduced us to each other."
"Oh, that's nice. Then, chat with your friends. I'll go to the kitchen to help William."
Annette quickly said, "I'll go too."
In the kitchen, William was grilling a steak.
Barbara asked in a low voice, "Ann, is Sara your colleague?"
"Yes. What do you think of her?"
"She is a good girl. What is your purpose for bringing her here today?" As Barbara spoke, he pointed outside the door and said, "You brought her here because of Zachary, right?"
Annette gave her a thumbs-up. "I really want to introduce Sara to Zachary. I planned to make them have some private time, but Sara was too embarrassed to take the initiative to ask Zachary out. Well, you know how Zachary is, so I have to bring Sara to your house. What do you think?"
"Sara looks completely different from Jennifer. However, I don't know what kind of person she is. Will she get along with Zachary?"
"You will get to know her after a few times. Sara is a nice person. She works hard and she is very kind to others."
"Well, I sure believe you. I think they will get along well."
The three of them chatted in the room, as if Sara and Zachary were already a couple.
When they finished dinner, it was already eight o'clock.
Annette looked at her watch and stood up. "Guys, I need to go back now."
Sara also stood up.
Annette waved her hand and said, "You should stay. I need to get home before 8:30. Otherwise, I'll stay here with you for a bit longer."
Barbara was a little puzzled and asked, "Why 8:30?"
Sara smiled and said, "Ann is pregnant. Alpha Connor was worried about her, so asked her to go home before 8:30."
"I see. Ann, you should go."
Annette thought that fortunately, Barbara did not know the real reason.
"I'll visit you next time. Zachary, I can't send Sara off on the way today. Will you help me send her home?"
Zachary nodded and said, "Don't worry. I will send her home later."
Then, Annette went home.
She thought that Connor was probably waiting for her to go home.
On the way to the Blood Moon Pack's villa, Annette sent a message to Sara.
"Barbara and William both like you very much. Good luck."
Sara texted her a cheering emoji.
After returning to the Blood Moon Pack, Annette walked as quickly as she could. When she opened the door, it was exactly 8:20 pm.
She knew that she was safe tonight.
To her surprise, the moment she entered, she saw that there was another person in the living room other than Connor.
When Annette saw them, she stopped at the door.
She thought, 'What is Alina doing here?
It's late, yet Connor is alone with her?'
