Chapter 709 Divorce
Alistair Mu said. Whenever Annabelle Xia gets into the hospital, he just couldn't rest his heart.
Annabelle Xia simply smiled. The man was right, she couldn't remember how many times she had
been admitted to the hospital this year. She tilted her head and looked at Alistair Mu, "But we still need
to go to the hospital often after this!"
Alistair Mu frowned.
Annabelle Xia pointed at her stomach. Not just for the checkup, but she needed to give birth in the
hospital!
When Alistair Mu saw her gesture, he broke into a chuckle. The man stretched out his hand and held
Annabelle Xia's hand. He felt a sense of contentment and joy inside.
Annabelle Xia smiled as well.
"You must be tired since you stayed up whole night. Take a quick nap, I will wake you up when we
reach home!" Alistair Mu said.
Annabelle Xia nodded and she reclined the chair to a comfortable angle. After that, she leaned to the
side and closed her eyes. Alistair Mu passed her his coat and covered it on her. As Annabelle Xia felt
the comfortable and familiar scent, there was a warmth in her heart.
As Alistair Mu saw Annabelle Xia closing her eyes, he adjusted the temperature in the car. When he
saw that Annabelle Xia was sleeping restfully, his lips curled up faintly.
Alistair Mu drove slower and tried to make the journey less bumpy.
People could see a sports car driving so slowly in the highway and they just shook their head.
What a waste!
Driving the latest series with such speed? What a waste of the car's potential!
However, the two persons in the car were happy.
More than one hour later, they finally reached home. When Alistair Mu wanted to wake Annabelle Xia
up, he saw that she was sleeping so soundly and he just didn't want to disturb her sleep. The man
parked the car and carried Annabelle Xia down.
The grandmother and madam Mu was chatting in the living room. When they saw Alistair Mu carrying
Annabelle Xia inside, they were frightful.
"What, what happened?" The grandmother asked worriedly. When she looked at the ‘unconscious'
Annabelle Xia, she was worried. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Alistair Mu simply showed them a hush gesture, "She is asleep!" After saying that, he carried Annabelle
Xia upstairs.
Grandma Mu and Madam Mu exchanged a look…
"Do you notice that Haoyu has somewhat changed …?"
The mother nodded agreeably.
Alistair Mu lowered Annabelle Xia on the bed gently and tucked her in. After that, he adjusted the
temperature in the room. When he saw that she was sleeping so soundly, he smiled and kissed her
lips. After that, the man walked out quietly and closed the door.
His grandmother and mother were still chatting in the living room. When they saw Alistair Mu coming
down the stairs, both of them turned their head towards him.
"Grandma, Annabelle is sleeping. Ask auntie Li to prepare some food for her two hours later. She might
be waking up in two hours and don't let her starve!" Alistair Mu instructed.
The grandmother's lips curled up, "Roline, have you noticed your son, my grandson became different?"
Madam Mu nodded and her eyes were smiling into a crescent.
Alistair Mu simply walked into the living room and stood behind the couch, pressing both of his hands
on it, "My dearest grandma, are you jealous?"
"What do you think?"
Alistair Mu chuckled, "Even if you are, make sure to help me take good care of my wife! I will go to the
company now~" After saying that, Alistair Mu laughed and walked out the door.
As the grandmother watched him leaving, she said, "It is true when they said your son will forget about
you after marrying another woman! Now we finally get to experience it!"
"But even so, I have no complaints!" Madam Mu said.
The grandmother laughed heartily as well. Although that was the case, they were happy with Alistair
Mu's changes.
That was Annabelle Xia's most restful sleep for the past few weeks. After she woke up, she felt
completely reinvigorated.
She checked the time and it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.
The woman stretched and got down her bed. After a quick rinse, she changed and walked downstairs.
"Grandma, mom, auntie Li!" Right after Annabelle Xia got downstairs, she saw the three of them
chatting about and approached them.
When they heard Annabelle Xia's voice, they raised their head and the grandmother spoke, "You finally
woke up! Annabelle, do you know how long you have slept?"
Annabelle Xia shrugged her shoulders and walked downstairs, "It was quite a long sleep!"
"Before Haoyu left, he instructed us to prepare some food for you after two hours. But you slept
through the day!" The grandmother said.
When Annabelle Xia heard how thoughtful he was, she smiled sweetly.
"Auntie Li, please heat up the food for Annabelle!"
"Sure!" Auntie Li answered with a smile and hurried into the kitchen.
After a while, it was done and Annabelle Xia sat on the dining table. She was in a good mood and that
made her appetite better.
The woman just couldn't stop smiling.
The grandmother looked at her, "Annabelle, you seemed to be in a good mood today!"
Annabelle Xia nodded, "Really? Maybe I am just hungry…"
Annabelle Xia was always controlling her diet. However, she seemed to be eating much more than
usual. The grandmother was elated to see that.
Annabelle Xia raised her head and looked at the grandmother, "Grandma, what's the matter? Am I a
glutton?" Annabelle Xia knew that she was just chomping down the food.
"No, not at all! Just continue, don't mind me!" The grandmother said smilingly.
Annabelle Xia chuckled and continued eating. She was simply starving and she must get her stomach
filled first.
The woman was chatting with the grandmother and mother while eating. All of a sudden, she sunk into
the realization that the Mu family was truly a happy place. She was indeed blessed.
As she thought about that, her food even seemed tastier…
……
Ralphy Xia was still in the hospital.
The man thought that Renee An would be visiting him. However, a few days had passed and there was
no news at all.
He stood in front of the window and looked outside the hospital.
…She was probably still angry. Maybe she still couldn't let go of that matter.
Maybe, she would never be able to forgive him for that…
The man couldn't help but recalled what happened that night, her tears and how worried she was. And
the sight of her defending him…
As he thought about that, he came back to his senses. The man lowered his head and his gaze were
dispirited. He tried to cast his thought aside.
At that time, his phone on the desk rang. When he heard the ringing, he walked over slowly, picked up
his phone and answered it.
"Hello…"
"Sir, it's me!" The phone was from his assistant.
"What is it?" Ralphy Xia asked indifferently.
"Miss An sent a document and she asked me to hand it to you!"
Miss An?
Renee An?
"What kind of document?"
"I did know either. She simply asked me to send it to you!"
"Okay, send it over!"
"Okay!"
And they ended the call.
Half an hour later, the assistant appeared in the ward and handled an envelope to Ralphy Xia.
Ralphy Xia looked at the envelope and simply took out the documents inside. It was a divorce
agreement. Not only that, Renee An had signed her part.
There was a message note clipping inside.
This is the only thing I can give you. I wish you joy and happiness!
A simple sentence yet it devastated the man.
As Ralphy Xia looked at the document and the message note, his eyes dimmed. The man clutched on
the document tightly.
As the assistant saw the sudden change in Ralphy Xia's expression, he asked carefully, "Sir, the
document…"
"Get out!" Ralphy Xia raised his voice.
The assistant was stunned and couldn't react in time. He was shocked by Ralphy Xia's sudden
outburst.
"Get out!" Ralphy Xia repeated. Although he wasn't loud, the man could notice the president's stern
and foul mood. He seemed to be suppressing a strong emotion.
The assistant swallowed a gulp in his throat. He didn't dare to make another sound and hurried outside
the ward.
Ralphy Xia was left alone in the room.
The man looked at the document and sat back on his bed…
Half an hour had passed. No one knew what he was doing inside. And the assistant just didn't dare to
interrupt him.
All until Waynie Xu came.
When the mother saw that assistant was standing outside, she walked over and frowned, "What are
you doing here?"
"Madam!" The assistant greeted her.
"Where is Ralphy?"
The assistant pointed inside with a fearful expression. Just from looking at his face, Waynie Xu knew
that something was wrong, "What happened?"
Before the assistant said anything, the door was opened suddenly. Ralphy Xia had changed his attire.
"Si… Sir…" The assistant looked at Ralphy Xia and zipped his lips immediately.
"Go get my discharge letter now!"
The assistant's eyes widened immediately. But… That was a knife wound, right?
Even the mother was shocked, "Ralphy, you still haven't recovered!"
"Mum, I am fine!" As he said that, he forced a smile and walked past the mother.
Waynie Xu stood there and didn't know what happened. Everything happened too abruptly.
The assistant could only follow after him.
Ralphy Xia was the only person that knew what the document was about.
The assistant thought that the president might take action after reviewing the document. However, the
man simply went back to the company and work. He didn't do anything out of the ordinary.
When Waynie Xu and Teneria Xia learnt of what happened, they were just shocked. The parents kept
asking him what happened but Ralphy Xia didn't say anything. The man would simply stay in his office
all day.
If that kept up, Waynie Xu was just worried that his body couldn't stand it. But no matter what she said,
the son would just tell her he needed to work.
In the end, she couldn't stand it anymore and she looked at the assistant, "What happened?"
Ralphy Xia was staying in the hospital and all of a sudden he decided to go back to the company?
The assistant was troubled and he didn't know what to say.
But as he behaved that way, Waynie Xu knew that something must be wrong, "Speak, what
happened!?!"
Waynie Xu was well known for her gentle temperament. No one had ever seen her getting angry. Now
that she roared so furiously, the assistant was just afraid and he hurriedly told her what happened.
When Waynie Xu heard that, she frowned, "Document? What kind of document?"
The assistant shook his head, "I don't know either. Miss An sent someone to deliver it and asked me to
pass it to boss!"
Waynie Xu's eyebrows knitted closely.
Ever since Renee An got discharged, she hadn't been visiting at all. She didn't even make a call. They
thought that after that night, seeing as how sad Renee An was, the two of them would have reconciled.
But…
That was obviously not the case.
Waynie Xu frowned as she looked at the assistant, "Where is the document?"
"With the boss…" The assistant answered honestly.
Waynie Xu thought to herself, if she were to go inside and ask it from Ralphy Xia, it was highly unlikely
that he would show it to her. The mother decided to go inside after he wasn't around.
"Does he have any meeting later?"
The assistant checked his schedule, "Three o'clock in the afternoon!"
When Waynie Xu heard that, she nodded. No matter what, she would find out what happened.
……
Ralphy Xia was sitting on his swivel chair in his office. He stared at his phone for a long while. Finally,
he made up his mind and made his call. The man's question was already right by his lips and he waited
nervously.
Sorry, the number you called is no longer in service…
No longer in service.
Renee An had even changed her number!
The woman was trying to sever every ties with him.
When he thought about that, he gripped his phone tightly.
The man showed no emotion on his face. His gaze was deep and dark, no one could have a peek at
his thought at all.
At that time, the assistant knocked on the door and appeared by the doorsteps, "Sir, the meeting is
starting soon!"
"Got it." After answering him, Ralphy Xia took up the documents on his desk and wanted to leave.
When the assistant watched from the doorstep, he was just worried. He knew that the president was
still injured. Why was he trying so hard?
When Ralphy Xia left the room, he followed behind.
The moment they entered the meeting room, Waynie Xu came from the side. When she confirmed that
Ralphy Xia had started his meeting, he walked inside Ralphy Xia's office.
Being the wife of the chairman of Xia Group, it was the first time Waynie Xu done something like that.
The mother was just nervous to not let Ralphy Xia find out. However, she was doing that all for his son.
The moment she walked inside, she hurried to his desk. According to the assistant's description, she
began looking for the documents.
There was a lot of documents on top of his desk. The mother opened it one by one and she got more
and more anxious. Since Ralphy Xia could just come back anytime!
Her hands were shaking uncontrollably. All of a sudden, she opened an envelope and she was
stunned.
She stared at the title of the document in disbelief.
Divorce Agreement…
As she scanned through the document, she was just shocked.
The mother hurriedly flipped the documents to the last page. When she saw the signature, she knew
that it was the document Renee An sent over.
A divorce agreement…
It was like a bomb detonated in Waynie Xu's mind. What actually happened that caused them to
divorce?
