"Brother!" Hannah never thought that Stefan would agree, she looked at him in surprise.
Not just Hannah, nobody else expected it, including Lambert.
This battle made Ariana's mood exceptionally pleasant.
At least she could introduce an excellent man to Allison. No matter what, Stefan was much better than that scum, Callan.
However, whether Allison and Stefan were meant to be, was left to fate.
Ariana stood up and said, "Well, it's getting late. We should leave."
When they were out of the club, Lambert suddenly pulled Ariana and pressed her against the wall.
He grabbed her chin and said, "You are really bold! You even dared to use my friend."
Ariana was startled, after hearing Lambert's words, she regained her senses and said with a faint smile, "Mr. Stone, Don't tell me that you are jealous?"
Ariana also knew that showing her admiration for Stefan in front of so many people, as her husband, Lambert would feel a little humiliated.
Lambert's eyes darkened slightly, the hand pinching her chin gently traced her cheek and said ambiguously, "No, I am reminding you not to play tricks, or else..."
Ariana's thoughts sank slightly, she didn't expect that Lambert had seen through her attempt to win over Stefan.
She understood Allison's personality well, and the chances of her going on a blind date with Stefan were almost zero.
"Or else what..."
He said softly, "The matter from last time... we can take it to the end..."
Boom!
The bold teasing caused Ariana's cheeks to rush with a blush.
“Nutcase!”
She forcefully pushed Lambert away and quickly walked away.
Looking at Ariana in the distance, a touch of amusement crossed Lambert's face. There were many times when teasing Ariana proved to be an interesting endeavor.
On their way home, Lambert kept gazing at Ariana mockingly, giving her an uneasy, prickling sensation.
Surprisingly, when they arrived, they were promptly caught by the old caretaker, Mrs. Johan.
“Madam, oh my, I was busy in the kitchen and didn’t hear you both returning, good evening Sir.”
Mrs. Johan greeted joyfully, capturing Ariana's attention. Upon seeing Lambert coming in, she greeted him too.
“Mrs. Johan, what have you been cooking? It smells wonderful.”
Lambert inquired with a raised brow. After all, it was already late, yet the scent of food lingered in the air.
Mrs. Johan responded, “You always know what to say. However, you might not have the luck to taste it this time. Your grandmother instructed me to cook specifically a rich, nourishing soup for the Miss and told me to make sure she drinks it all.”
"We’re in this together, you helping me is only expected. I’m going to take a shower first."
Ariana looked at him disdainfully, not caring about Lambert, took her pajamas, and headed for the bathroom.
She took a quick shower, feeling a lot of her fatigue wash away. When she opened the door, she smelled the fragrance she had smelled earlier.
Ariana frowned slightly, walked over, and saw Lambert looking at something.
In front of him was a small bowl containing soup. The aroma emanated from there, giving off gentle wisps of heat.
Lambert noticed the movement, looked up to see Ariana walking over, and said, "While you were showering earlier, Mrs. Johan brought this up. Now that you're out, drink it while it's warm."
"I don't want it, you have it," Ariana said disgustedly.
"This is a specially prepared tonic soup for you, if I drink it, with all this nourishment, who knows what uncontrollable things I might do later tonight,” Lambert raised his head and said to Ariana, looking up and down at the pajamas that held her curvy figure in a lingering gaze.
Ariana had no intention of consuming this soup. She had initially intended to argue a bit more, but upon hearing what Lambert had to say, she gave up entirely on that idea. It would be better to drink the soup obediently than to argue with this extremely thick-skinned man.
"I'll drink it! You go take a shower."
"But you said that I should supervise you while you drink the soup, Mrs. Johan specifically instructed me to watch you finish it when she brought it up a moment ago," replied Lambert.
Ariana glared at him, picked up the small bowl from the table, and drank it all in one breath.
"Are you happy now?" Ariana raised an eyebrow and said to Lambert.
