My Killing President

Chapter 672 Discussion

The man stood there and he didn't know the reason as well.

"Can you do that for me?" At that time, Renee An called out to him from behind.

Ralphy came back to his senses and he glanced to the back and said, "I will try!"

After saying that, he walked to the bathroom.

Renee An sat on the bed and looked at his back view. Her lips curled up in joy and contentment.

It could be the most ordinary thing for the couple. However, it was very precious and rare for Renee An.

She got out happily and got dressed. She planned to eat breakfast with him downstairs.

After she was done, Ralphy was done as well. Renee An looked at him and smiled lovingly. Ralphy

was stunned for a moment they got down together.

When they walked down, Teneria and Waynie was having breakfast. The parents were discussing

about Annabelle's wedding and necessary preparation.

"Dad, mom, good morning!" Renee An greeted them smilingly.

It was rare to see them appearing together. Waynie was pleased and comforted.

"Come, breakfast is ready!" Waynie said smilingly.

Renee An and Ralphy walked over and sat down.

"Mum, what are you guys talking about?" Renee An seemed to be extra cheerful.

"We are discussing about Annabelle's wedding. We will be eating together with the Mu family tonight.

Renee, let's go together!"

Renee An nodded, "Okay, I will!"

"Ralphy, you should come home earlier tonight. Bring Renee over!" Teneria said.

Ralphy was eating and he seemed to be distracted, "Dad, I need to meet with a client tonight. I'm afraid

I can't make it!"

"How can that be more important than your sister's marriage? How can you, being the brother be

absent?" Teneria looked at him and asked sternly.

When Renee An looked from the side, she was anxious.

In the end, Ralphy nodded, "I understand. I will make time for it!"

"Okay!" Teneria answered him and didn't say anymore. Renee An was relieved.

After Ralphy took a quick bite, she got up, "I shall leave now!"

After saying that, he walked away.

"Drive safe!" Renee An called out to him.

Ralphy didn't say anything and simply walked away.

Teneria, Waynie and Renee An were the only one left in the dining table.

Waynie looked at Renee An and said, "Let's eat and then prepare for the dinner!"

Renee An nodded with a smile, "Okay!"

On the other side.

Annabelle was sleeping longer and longer now. She would always wake up naturally. This day, she

woke up around ten o'clock and she thought that Alistair was making breakfast outside.

When she checked the time, it was already ten something. Annabelle walked out and couldn't find

Alistair anywhere. Annabelle was puzzled but she saw breakfast on the table.

Annabelle walked over and saw a note on it:

If the breakfast is cold, heat it up first.

When Annabelle saw that, her lips curled up. When she saw that the food was still a little warm, she

took out her phone and called Alistair.

The phone was answered right away.

"Hello, are you up?"

"Yeah!" Annabelle answered as she sat down on the chair. As she was eating, she asked, "Are you in

the company?"

"Yeah, I have a meeting. But I will be free after the meeting and I'll go home and pick you up!"

"Pick me?"

"Grandma will be eating with your mother tonight, have you forgotten about that?" Alistair asked.

Annabelle, "……"

When Annabelle heard that, she came to a slow realization, "I really forgot about it…"

Alistair chuckled, "It is said that pregnant people will have some memory loss. Annabelle, you have

proven that statement right!"

"What now? Are you complaining?"

"Not at all. You are adorable!"

Alistair said smilingly. The woman was just adorable, how could he complain?

Annabelle's lips curled up. That better be it!

At that time, Alistair recalled something all of a sudden, "By the way, remember to heat up the

breakfast!"

"Okay, got it. Mr. Mu, you are cooking skills had improved!" Annabelle said as she was eating.

"As long as I set my mind to do it, I can definitely succeed. Therefore, Annabelle, I've always told you

that you are truly in luck to marry me!"

Annabelle's lips curled up as she was chewing, "Mr. Mu, is it cloudy outside?"

Alistair was driving and he looked outside the window and the sun was up, "It is sunny!" He said.

"Keep puffing and it will become cloudy!"

Alistair, "……"

There was a long silence over the phone.

The time, Annabelle giggled, "All right now, let's talk later and I shall eat first. Carry on with your work

and I will wait for you at home!"

"Okay!"

After hanging up the call, Annabelle continued to eat her breakfast. The woman thought that Alistair

was just doing it perfunctorily and he wouldn't last long. However, it had been a few days and the man

persevered.

That made Annabelle restful.

At that time, Jack sat in front and looked at Alistair, "Sir, congratulations! You are finally marrying Miss

Xia!"

When Alistair heard that, he smiled. All of a sudden, he recalled something and asked, "By the way,

how is the investigation going?"

Jack turned into a serious expression, "It has been too long and I might need a longer time for the

investigation!"

"Remember to notify me once you get something!"

"Yes, sir!"

After finishing his work, Alistair went home. Annabelle had prepared as well. After Alistair picked her

up, they went to the hotel.

It was a luxurious hotel under the Mu family's asset. They had a huge room to themselves and the Xia

family.

The grandmother was the happiest person around. The moment she saw Waynie, she immediately

started blabbering about, "Madam Xia, I have long known that we will definitely be family!" The

grandmother said cheerfully.

Waynie was wearing a modest yet elegant dress. When she heard the grandmother, she smiled and

said, "You are right!"

"I knew it long ago and I just loved Annabelle so much. I can tell that she will end up in our Mu family!"

The grandmother said proudly. Fortunately, Alistair did not disappoint her and managed to bring

Annabelle home.

Waynie smiled and she had a good impression towards this cheerful old lady. The Mu family was fine, a

great family at that. Alistair was the only one that have all kinds of encircling scandals. However, that

was also the reason why they suggested Annabelle to marry him.

Apart from that, the family background and characters were all great.

"I shall leave Annabelle in your hands from now on. I hope you can take care of her!" Waynie said.

"That's for sure! Rest assured, I will never let Annabelle get any unfair treatment!" The grandmother

guaranteed.

"Now that I hear it from you, I can finally be restful!" Waynie said smilingly. She knew the influence of

the grandmother in the Mu family and how much they revered her. Now that the grandmother showed

so much liking towards Annabelle, they wouldn't need to worry about her getting bullied.

The grandmother was happy as well.

At that time, Renee An and Ralphy walked inside. The moment Renee An saw the grandmother, she

hurried over, "Grandma!"

When the grandmother saw Renee An, she smiled, "Renee, it's you!"

"Grandma, how is your body lately?"

"Not too bad, not too bad!" The grandmother answered.

Since Renee An was a relative of Jerry Kuang, the grandmother knew her as well. A city wasn't a big

place and the influential people gathered around.

"Madam Xia, your family is truly blessed to have a daughter in law like Renee!" The grandmother said.

Waynie nodded with a smile and she was agreeable. The mother was just satisfied with Renee An. She

was carrying herself with grace and obedience. She was so good that no one could find any fault.

While they were talking, Annabelle and Alistair arrived.

"Grandma, we are here!"

After the grandmother saw Annabelle, she hurriedly said, "Annabelle, come to this old lady and let me

have a look!"

Everyone could see the grandmother's affection towards Annabelle.

Previously, Alistair was even confused as what Annabelle had done to gain such favor from all of his

family. But now, he finally understood it.

The moment he understood it, he fell helplessly in love with her.

She had a natural charm that made no one dislike her.

Annabelle walked over and the grandmother examined her from head to toe, "Why are you losing

weight again? Is Alistair not taking care of you properly?"

Annabelle chuckled, "Grandma, I have gained one kilo!"

"Really? I couldn't tell at all!" The grandmother said.

"It is real. So please don't worry. I am good!" Annabelle smiled. She had done a light make up today

and she looked pretty and dedicate.

"That's great. Be careful not to lose any weight now and eat as much as you can!" The grandmother

reminded.

"I know. Rest assured, I will treat myself well!"

"As expected of the smart one!" The grandmother said smilingly.

After a quick chat, Waynie looked at Annabelle, "Annabelle, hurry and sit down!"

"Yeah, let's all get seated. We are all family here and don't be shy!" The grandmother said.

The grandmother sat right in the middle. She had the highest seniority and they respected her.

From her left, it was Zen and his wife, Alistair and Annabelle. On the other side, it was Teneria, Waynie,

Ralphy and Renee An. They gathered around a huge table.

The grandmother wasted no time and cut straight to the talk.

"Teneria, Madam Xia, we are eating as a family and please don't feel reserved!"

Teneria nodded, "Don't worry, we won't!"

Waynie smiled as well.

"Before we have our discussions, I wish to give you my word, that you can be restful when Annabelle

marries to this family. I will never let her be wronged or mistreated. You can trust me on this!" The

grandmother said that to Teneria and Waynie.

Teneria glanced over at the young couple and nodded, "I admit that I had a bad impression towards

Alistair previously. However, after spending some time together, I also believe that Alistair will take

good care of our daughter!"

After saying that, he looked at Alistair in gentleness, "I hope you won't disappoint me!"

Alistair spoke, "Don't worry, I will definitely take good care of Annabelle!"

After the grandmother heard that, she was well pleased.

She knew the temperament of her grandson. He was just ruthless and she had heard countless

scandals and rumors about him. Most importantly, he had married their daughter few years ago and

divorced her. The grandmother was just worried that they would be dissatisfied towards Alistair.

After hearing their opinion now, she was able to be restful.

"Grandma Mu, we had long known your character and we are confident that you will take good care of

our daughter and protect her. We wouldn't interfere with the youngsters' relationship and we wouldn't

demand anything. I only hope that Annabelle could be happy!" Madam Xia said.

The grandmother nodded, "I understand your hope. Please rest assured, our family will take good care

of Annabelle!"

The Xia family nodded happily.

Although Annabelle was sitting with a smile, she felt a little downhearted.

When she left home a few years back then, she didn't feel anything. But after hearing what Teneria and

Waynie said, she felt guilty. Ever since she found out that she wasn't their biological daughter, she had

more all less distanced herself from them. But now she had come to a realization that she had missed

out too much.

They treated her like their own blood and she just couldn't repay them.

When Alistair noticed Annabelle's abnormality, he held her hand.

Annabelle raised her head and looked at Alistair. The woman's lips curled up gently.

At that time, Madam Mu's book as well, "That's right. You don't have to worry and we will never let

Annabelle get hurt!"

Waynie nodded.

As Renee An sat there and listened to their conversation, she couldn't help but recalled the night

before their marriage. It was a similar atmosphere. Just a blink of an eye and so long had passed.

She turned her head to look at Ralphy but the man was completely distracted. He didn't say anything at

all and simply sat quietly.

When Renee An saw that he wasn't interested to talk, she kept quiet as well.

"Okay, if that's the case, let's pick a good date together. Madam Xia, I have been checking on the date

with Roline at home for the past few days. I even consulted the Feng Shui masters. The 9th and 12th

next month would be the best date. What do you think, Madam Xia?" The grandmother asked.

The moment they discussed about that, the atmosphere changed. The mother nodded, "I have been

checking as well and you are right, the 9th and the 12th are definitely the best date!"

"What about your opinion?"

"Is it a little rushed to do it on the 9th?"

"Then let's set it on the 12th, what do you think?"

Waynie nodded, "I don't mind. As long as they can prepare it in time!"

"Even if the time is short, we wouldn't be doing it simplistically. We will make sure to give Annabelle a

grand wedding!" The grandmother chuckled.

Teneria and Waynie nodded.

The Xia family was always low-profile. They wouldn't demand such fame and attention. They simply

wanted a simple and joyous ceremony, as long as Annabelle could be happy.

But since the grandmother looked so excited and the family was wealthy, they understood that they

needed to organize a grand wedding ceremony.

Moreover, if they did a grand wedding, it would look better for Annabelle.

"It is unexpected that we arrived to a conclusion so fast. Since we are done with it, let's continue to chat

while eating!"

"Great!"

And so, the waiters started to serve.

While they were serving, the two families continued to chit chat.

The grandmother was talkative. She was a seasoned senior and she could have unending topics with

Teneria and Waynie.

Madam Mu simply looked at Annabelle and briefed her about the cares and concerns about pregnancy.

And she kept reminding her not to tire herself out.

Soon after, the dishes were served.

The grandmother said, "There are no outsiders here tonight. Let's not be shy and enjoy the food!"

"Okay!"

At that time, Annabelle looked at her parents and said suddenly, "Dad, mom, thank you for your care

and love all these years. I don't know what I can say to express my gratitude towards the two of you.

However, I will always be your daughter! Let me give you this toast!" Annabelle said.

Waynie was moved. After that, she looked at her and asked, "You are pregnant, are you sure you can

drink?"

"Just a little bit of red wine, it will be fine!" Annabelle said. Right when she wanted to drink, Alistair

stopped her.

Annabelle turned her head over and looked at Alistair. At that time, Alistair took over the glass from her

hand and looked at Teneria and Waynie, "Dad, mom, I shall do it in Annabelle's place. From today

onwards, I will take good care of Annabelle and the both of you!"

After he said that, he lifted his glass and finished it.

When Annabelle saw his gesture, she was stunned. But after that her lips curled up faintly.

Her heart fluttered in joy.

The man had always known what she was thinking about.

At that time, Teneria and Waynie looked at Alistair and they could tell how much he cared and loved

Annabelle. The parents were pleased.

"Okay!" And Teneria and Waynie took a sip of their drink as well.

When Renee An saw what Alistair did, she was moved as well. Why didn't Ralphy show this kind of

care towards her?

However, as she casted back her memory, they have had a smooth sail from their engagement to their

marriage. Nothing happened in between and Ralphy didn't get any chance to do anything for her.

When Ralphy saw what they did, he had a small reaction. He glanced over at Annabelle and then

averted his gaze, pretended to see nothing.

The atmosphere got better after that.

The two families were at peace with each other and they were both wealthy and influential. They didn't

have any conflict as well. Moreover, the Xia family had no other demands except for Annabelle to be

happy. They didn't care about anything else.

The families continued to eat and talk.

Whenever they asked Ralphy any questions, the man would just answer perfunctorily.

After sometime, Ralphy said, "I will go to the washroom!"

After saying that, he got up and left.

Renee An sat there and looked at Ralphy. She had a weird intuition that Ralphy was just upset…

The man had been acting like this for the past few days… Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Did anything happen?

After Ralphy walked out, he lit up a cigarette and puffed on it slowly. The man was feeling a great

conflict and complicated feelings.

The man rarely smoked. But he would do that whenever he was troubled.

At that time, his phone rang. When he saw the number, he answered it.

"Hello, president Xia, it's me. I have already contacted a lot of clients. Are we still proceeding in buying

in the shares?" The person over the call asked.

When Ralphy heard that, his eyebrows furrowed deeply. After a long hesitation, he still couldn't make

up his mind.

"Hello, president Xia? Are you there?"

"Leave it as it is for now. Give me some time to consider!"

"… Okay, got it!"

After hanging up the call, Ralphy continued to stand there and smoked. The man's face was just

dispirited.

After he finished smoking, he flicked the cigarette butt away and walked back.

Ralphy continued to keep quiet in the dinner. Ever since he came back from the washroom, he was

even more silent. As if he was non-existent at all.

"Are you all right? Did anything happen?" Renee An looked at Ralphy and asked worriedly.

When the man raised his head and looked at Renee An's caring gaze, he shook his head, "It's nothing,

don't worry!" Ralphy said.

Renee An looked at him and she didn't know what to say. Since the man asked her not to worry, she

knew she shouldn't pester him.

At that moment, Annabelle said suddenly, "Bro, let me give you a toast as well! Although this is just

plain water, I hope that you and sister-in-law can have a happy marriage and I thank you for all your

care and protection all these years!"

When Ralphy heard that, he was stunned and pleasantly surprised. However, whenever he heard

Annabelle calling him, he would feel uplifted.

He lifted his glass and said, "Brother wish you all the best as well. If Alistair dares to bully you again, I

will definitely avenge you!" Ralphy said.

When others heard that, they simply felt that it was the brother's care towards his own sister. But

Alistair knew it wasn't just like that!

He simply glanced at Ralphy and curled up his lips. The man didn't say anything.

If he was willing to pull the brakes for Annabelle, then there was no need for him to do anything…

However, if he were to remain stubborn… Then everything would be different!

Alistair hoped that Ralphy could pull the brakes for the sake of Annabelle!

Annabelle took a sip on her water while Ralphy bottomed up his red wine.

The grandmother saw that and she was pleased.

At that time, Alistair's phone rang. When he took up his phone and saw the number, he frowned.

He didn't want to answer it at first. However, the phone kept ringing on and on. Alistair stood up and

went out with the phone. Annabelle remained seated.

Although Alistair said nothing, she knew who was calling.

Nancy.
