My Killing President

Chapter 679 Complain

Annabelle's greatest surprise, Nancy didn't leave.

Although Albert had come personally to pick her up, Nancy managed to convinced her father to let her

stay. The father was obviously cosseting her.

Annabelle did not join Alistair's meal with Albert. The woman wasn't interested because she wasn't

familiar with Albert and she didn't want to interrupt their time of reminisce.

During the meal.

Alistair looked at Albert, "Master, why are you leaving so soon?"

"I still have a lot of work pending in the company. I just can't stay for long!"

Alistair nodded agreeably, "What about Nancy…?"

"She will stay!"

Alistair frowned faintly, "Why?"

"She doesn't want to leave for the time being and I do not want to force her. Moreover, if she isn't going

back willingly, I know that she wouldn't be happy after going home!"

When Albert saw that Alistair remained quiet, he continued, "Maybe after she gives up, she would be

willing to go home willingly!"

Alistair understood what the man was trying to say. His looked at the man and pondered for a while.

After that, he nodded, "I understand!"

"She shouldn't be bothering you too much staying here. However… Do help me to keep an eye on her.

After all, her condition…" Albert was cutting his steak and eating elegantly.

Alistair nodded, "I understand. I will definitely do that!"

After that, the two of them chatted and caught up with one another. Albert left that very day.

When he left, Alistair and Nancy went to send him off.

"Daddy, I will miss you!"

"Come back earlier, don't make your daddy worry!" Albert said.

Nancy nodded. When the screen in the airport was making the boarding announcement, Albert walked

into the departure hall.

After he left, Alistair looked at Nancy and offered, "I'll send you back!"

Nancy didn't refuse and nodded. The woman followed him to his car.

On their way back, Nancy watched as other cars moved back in their car window.

She turned her gaze towards Alistair's gorgeous side view. Although it was just a side view, he was so

perfect like the masterpiece of a great artist.

However, she knew that the man had never belonged to her.

"Are you disappointed that daddy didn't manage to bring me home?" Nancy asked suddenly.

Alistair was driving with one arm and he wasn't looking at her. After pondering for a while, he said,

"Nancy, I do not wish to interact with you like this!"

Nancy was showing an indignant expression. She didn't want it either. However, from the moment the

man informed her father, she was just upset with him.

"I can manage by myself. I hope you won't be notifying my father about everything!" Nancy said with a

little vexation.

"Then you shouldn't have done something so worrying!"

"Noted. I won't let you worry about me anymore!" Nancy enunciated clearly.

Alistair didn't answer her and continued to drive. The man's gaze was deep and no one could tell what

he was thinking.

After a long time, Nancy couldn't handle the tension in atmosphere anymore and she said, "Send me to

the hotel!"

"Reason!"

"I will not stay in the Mu House anymore to cause you trouble!"

"Then I think you should get your daddy's approval first!"

"You…"

"If you really want to keep staying here, you better be obedient!" Alistair's tone was stern and cold like

a machine.

Nancy looked at him and decided not to argue with him. The woman simply kept her silence.

After half an hour, they reached the Mu House.

Right after the car parked, Nancy got down immediately and walked inside.

Alistair followed after her. After he went in the house and informed the family, he needed to go back to

his company.

"Had Nancy's father left?" The grandmother asked.

Alistair nodded, "He is busy with this company. He said to have dinner together some other time!"

Grandma Mu nodded, "Sigh, he came all the way from Malaysia and we didn't even get to treat him for

a meal!"

Alistair simply smiled casually, "We will have the chance in the future!"

"Okay!"

"Grandma, I still have something to do and I'll go back to the company. Please help me to take care of

Nancy!"

"Okay. Don't worry and just go. I'm here!"

Alistair nodded and walked away.

On his way back, Alistair had a sudden thought to give Annabelle a call. He wore his earpiece and

called Annabelle's number.

Annabelle was still sleeping at home. When she heard the ring tone, she fumbled around for her phone

and brought it to her ear.

"Hello…"

"Are you still sleeping?"

"Yes!" After that she looked at the time, "For three hours already…"

"You should get up and move around for a bit. It isn't too good to sleep so long!" The man said gently. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

His deep voice was filled with love and cosset.

"Okay, I will get up in a while. Have you sent him off?" Annabelle averted the topic all of a sudden.

"Yeah, he left. And I just send Nancy home!"

"Okay~" Annabelle replied. She felt that there was nothing more to say and she spoke, "Let's hang up,

I'll get up and eat something!"

"Okay!" After reminding Annabelle to take care of herself, the man hung up the phone.

Alistair continued to drive to the company while Annabelle got up to rinse her face. When she was

washing her face, she noticed all of a sudden that she got fatter!

She didn't know if it was just her own illusion.

Forget it, even if she were to get fatter, she needed to keep up with her nutrition. Therefore, Annabelle

walked to the kitchen to look for food…

"Nancy, has your daddy really left?" Antonio Lu looked at Nancy and asked.

Nancy nodded and she wasn't showing the man much keen. If Alistair wasn't around, she wouldn't be

so attached to Antonio Lu.

"Then did your father say anything before he left?" Antonio Lu looked at her and asked probingly.

Nancy shook her head disinterestedly.

She turned towards the man and looked at him, "He didn't. Why?"

Antonio Lu smiled awkwardly, "It's nothing!"

Nancy didn't think much as well. Her thoughts just weren't with the man, "If there is nothing else, I shall

go back now!"

When Antonio Lu saw that she wanted to leave, he stood up, "Nancy…"

The woman turned her head back and looked at him. Her gaze was filled with puzzlement, "Yes?"

"Umm… It's lunchtime soon, do you want to eat together?"

Nancy rejected without any hesitation, "I don't think so, I have promised auntie Mu to eat with her!"

Antonio Lu smiled awkwardly, "All right then, let me send you back!"

"It's fine. I can just go back myself, see you!" After smiling at the man, she left Antonio Lu's company.

When Antonio Lu saw her walking away, his eyebrows lowered faintly.

Why was that whenever Alistair isn't around, she would behave so distancing and uninterested?

As the wedding date drew closer, everyone was busy with the preparation. Only the pregnant

Annabelle was having a relaxed time.

One day, Annabelle received a call from Teneria and she went back to the Xia house.

Teneria and Waynie sat opposite her and they were in a serious demeanor.

"Dad, is there anything you want to tell me?" Annabelle asked.

And Teneria placed a document in front of her.

"What is this?" Annabelle looked at the document on the table. She took it up and flipped it over while

asking curiously.

"After discussing with your mother and your brother, we decided to give you this. You simply need to

sign!" Teneria said.

Annabelle flipped it open to the first page.

The Xia Group's share transfer agreement.

The moment Annabelle saw that title, she glanced through the documents speedily. After that, she

raised her gaze and looked at her parents, "Dad, mom, I can't sign this!"

After saying that, she closed the document and wanted to pass it back to them.

"You have five percent of the Xia Group's shares. Now we decided to give you another fifteen percent

as your dowry!" The father said.

The man was more than willing to give his daughter that. He was only worried that Annabelle wouldn't

accept it.

Unsurprisingly, Annabelle wanted to reject, "Dad, I know that you love me. But I can't be taking this!"

"Why?" Waynie asked.

"This is all dad and brother's hard work, I haven't done anything to contribute at all. How can I accept

it?" Annabelle said. Moreover, everything belonged rightfully to Ralphy.

"These are meant for you and your brother. Don't worry about it, your brother knows about this!" Ralphy

said as he was afraid that Annabelle might worry.

"But…"

"I know that you have twenty percent shares from the Mu group. The Mu family is wealthy and rich,

these are all we could give you!" Teneria said.

"But…"

"Why? Do you think the relationship between you and your brother would change because of these

twenty percent shares?" Waynie asked smilingly.

After Annabelle heard that, she raised her head and looked at her parents.

Was that so?

All these while, even right to this moment, the woman was just uncomfortable to take anything that

rightfully belonged to Ralphy. Subconsciously, she still think of herself as an outsider in this house.

As she thought about that, all of a sudden she felt that she had wronged her parents.

"Of course not. We will always be family and why would my relationship with brother change because

of that?" Annabelle said.

"Then just accept it. We do not need you to do anything in the company. But I believe if anything were

to happen to the company, both you and your brother would be able to solve it together!" Waynie said.

Since they were so determined, Annabelle knew she should not reject them so stubbornly. If she were

to insist on doing that, she would just distance herself from the family.

She nodded, "Dad, mom, don't worry. No matter what happened, I will always remember that I am a

part of the Xia family. As long as brother needs me, I will definitely come back to help him!"

"That is exactly what your parents needed to hear!" Waynie said contentedly.

Annabelle stood up and walked over to them. She sat next to Waynie and leaned on her, "Mum, sorry

that I've made you worried all these years!"

"You silly girl, it is just normal for any parents to worry about their child!"

"From today onwards, I shall be the one that cares and take care of the two of you!" Annabelle said

gently and her eyes were gleaming in love. She had been stubborn for too long but the family gap

between them had been sealed by Teneria and Waynie over time and effort.

So what if they didn't have any blood ties?

She didn't even know where her birthparents are and the reason they ditched her. The two persons in

front were the one that brought her up with every effort and love. Although there wasn't tied by blood,

their family bonds were stronger.

Annabelle told herself that she would be a member of the Xia family for the rest of her life. She would

always be Teneria and Waynie's daughter.

"This old man and woman can finally be restful after hearing that from you!"

Waynie said smilingly. She raised her gaze to look at Teneria and the husband and wife were just

gleaming in joy.

All these while, they were just worried that Annabelle would find out the truth. But after hearing that

from Annabelle, they finally rested their heart.

At that time, Renee An walked down from upstairs. After she saw Annabelle, she called out to her,

"Annabelle, you are here!"

When Annabelle heard the voice, she looked up and saw Renee An walking down.

"Sister!" Annabelle greeted her with a smile.

"It is just nice to see you here. Do you mind to chat with me upstairs? Dad, mom, can I borrow

Annabelle for a while?" Renee An asked.

Why not? The family was just close and joyous together!

"Go on, I will go and prepare dinner!"

"Thank you, mom!" After saying that, Renee An walked upstairs with Annabelle while Teneria took up

his newspaper and continued reading.

……

Upstairs.

Renee An brought Annabelle a glass of hot water, "Why are you alone today? Where is brother

Alistair?"

"He is in the company!"

Renee An sat beside her and looked at her flat stomach, "How is the baby? Did you go for your

scheduled checkups?"

Annabelle nodded, "I went and the doctor says everything is good!"

Renee An nodded and she looked at Annabelle's stomach happily yet enviously.

"Annabelle, you are so blessed!" Renee An said dispiritedly. Her voice sounded a little dejected.

Annabelle smiled, "Aren't you as well? If you like it so much, hurry and try harder with brother!"

Try harder...

She wanted that as well.

Although many women did not want to have kids right after getting married, Renee An was different.

She was brought up traditionally and she had always aspired to take care of her husband and kids. The

woman was happy that her husband would manage work and she would manage the household. She

dreamt of her life that she could wait for Ralphy at home every day…

However, things were just different from expectations all the time.

When Annabelle observed Renee An's expression, she looked at her and asked, "Is anything wrong?"

When Renee An heard that, she turned her head towards Annabelle suddenly and asked in a serious

manner, "Annabelle, do you think I am not charming at all?"

Annabelle blinked her eyes, "Why are you asking like that?"

"Answer me first!"

"You have a pretty face and great body. Mature, gentle and understanding. You are a woman every

man asked for!" Annabelle said honestly. That was exactly how she felt about Renee An. The only thing

that disturbed Annabelle in the past was her hasty wedding with Ralphy. Annabelle almost couldn't

handle the surprise.

Renee An was simply asking without much expectations but Annabelle had surprised her. After hearing

all those compliments from Annabelle, she was shy.

"Am I really like what you said?"

Annabelle nodded sincerely, "At least, I genuinely feel that way!"

"If that's the case, then why… Why is your brother completely uninterested in me?" Renee An asked.

Annabelle was stunned and she didn't understand what the woman was saying, "Did you quarrel with

him?"

Renee An shook her head, "It is still fine if we could quarrel. It is just difficult to even meet him every

day. I don't think our daily conversation could be more than ten sentences…"

Annabelle, "… My brother is a slow man!" She didn't know how else she could comfort the woman.

"He… He wasn't interested in me at all!" Renee An said dejectedly and in shame. She didn't want to

bring this up but she didn't have anyone else to confide in except for Annabelle.

Annabelle didn't understand it right away. When she came back to her senses, she finally caught on,

"Are you saying that you and brother…"

Renee An nodded, "Annabelle, it pains me to tell you, but your brother has never even touch me!"

Annabelle was stupefied!

She stared at Renee An for a long time.

She was unable to stomach that.

Finally, she slowly calmed herself down and stared at Renee An in disbelief, "You guys…"

Renee An nodded. After letting the cat out the bag, she wasn't embarrassed anymore. She was just

desperate to find the cause of the problem.

Annabelle was still overwhelmed by that information.

"Annabelle, does your brother have a person he likes?" Renee An asked suddenly.

Annabelle's heart pounded rapidly and her long eyelashes flickered, "Why are you asking like that?"

"If it wasn't the case, why was he so uninterested in me?" Renee An was just dispirited.

The woman had done everything she could but Ralphy remained the same. How could Renee An not

overthink?

Annabelle sat there and she just didn't know how to comfort her. If she was in her shoe, she would

probably react the same. Annabelle was unable to imagine how they had spent their time after the

marriage.

"Annabelle, can you teach me how to win a man's heart?" Renee An looked at Annabelle and asked

suddenly. Annabelle just didn't know how to react to the eyes of distress.

That…

How should she say it…?

She had never did that consciously. For the woman, she demanded the other party to prove their heart

before she dives into a relationship…

Of course, she couldn't be telling Renee An that. Otherwise, she would just make her feel even more

dejected.

"Sis, don't be overthinking. I believe that everything will follow the flow. You haven't known brother for a

long while and it is only natural for the two of you to take some time before bonding together. I believe

things will get better after sometime!" Annabelle comforted her.

When Renee An heard that, she looked at her and asked, "Really?"

Annabelle nodded. After that she recalled something and looked at her, "Do you want me to have a talk

with him?"

"No!" The woman answered instinctively, "How could we even discuss this with others…"

When Annabelle saw Renee An's shy expression, she chuckled.

She thought that her brother must be extremely blessed to be able to meet and marry Renee An.

Although time was little and they weren't given enough time to bond, they managed to end up together.

If Ralphy could only appreciate her, he could definitely be surprised with Renee An's goodness.

But, would he?

After Annabelle left the Xia house, she hesitated for a long while. In the end, she went to the Xia group

and decided to talk to Ralphy.

When Ralphy heard his secretary reporting that Annabelle was coming, he was elated and he

permitted her to come in right away.

"Do you want to drink anything?" Ralphy looked at Annabelle and asked. Although he was trying hard

to keep his cool, he couldn't hide the joy in his eyes.

"Just water!"

"Get me a glass of milk!" Ralphy instructed his secretary.

Annabelle, "……" She decided not to waste time on that.

Ralphy looked at her and asked, "Why are you visiting so suddenly? Is there anything?"

"Oh, it's nothing. Dad and mom asked me to go home today and they gave me a share transfer

agreement!" Annabelle said.

Ralphy nodded and he didn't mind at all. The brother even asked happily, "Have you sign it? Just hand

it to me and I'll send it for endorsement!"

"Brother, wouldn't you mind at all?"

"Mind about what?"

"You are the one that founded and managed the company. I haven't done anything at all!"

"You are part of the Xia family. It doesn't matter if you are involved in the business, you are already part

of us. You don't have to worry about that!" Ralphy said. The man wouldn't even bat an eye to give

Annabelle everything he had.

Annabelle lowered her gaze and smiled gently. She was so beautiful that Ralphy almost fell in her

captive.

"I will always remember that I am a part of the Xia family!"

Annabelle's words carried a deeper meaning but she didn't know if Ralphy understood her.

The brother simply smiled as he looked at her, "Is that the reason for your visit today?"

"Not just that, I just feel like talking to you!"

"About what?" Ralphy's eyes were gleaming in gentleness.

Annabelle bit her lips and contemplated for some time. She didn't know how she should speak to not

upset Ralphy. After hesitating for a long while, she spoke slowly.

"Actually it isn't anything much, I simply heard from Renee that you had been very busy, leaving the

house early and coming home late. I want to remind you to take care of your body more!"

The moment Ralphy heard Renee's name, his gorgeous face tensed up. His deep gaze was fixed on

Annabelle, "I am fine, you don't have to worry!"

"You shouldn't be overworking yourself. Try to accompany Renee if you have the time. After all, the two

of you had just married for a short time!" Annabelle said.

"I will!"

No matter what Annabelle said, Ralphy was used to taking it all in.

Annabelle looked at him and she didn't know if Ralphy had registered what she said. After all, his tone

sounded a little perfunctory.

"Brother, Renee is a good woman. If you could just pay more attention on her, you will definitely

discover her charm. If you miss this woman, you will definitely regret it for the rest of your life!"

Annabelle decided to speak her mind and not be so mindful with his attitude.

Otherwise, she knew that Ralphy would definitely regret it in the future.

On the other side, it was obvious that Ralphy's attentiveness wasn't on Renee An at all. Maybe he

would regret it sometime in the future, but as of this moment, he could not care for any other women

aside from her.

"What did she tell you?" Ralphy asked sternly.

"She didn't say anything. I said that from my observation. Bro, please treat Renee better!" She said.

Ralphy stared at her for a long while and his eyes were an ambiguous light. Finally, he nodded, "I

will…"
