Chapter 615 Hopeless
Ralphy’s eyes dimmed.
"Annabelle!" At that time, Renee An walked over and greeted Annabelle.
"Renee!" Annabelle smiled back.
"Excuse us, the decision was so sudden that we didn’t have the time to inform everyone else!" Renee
said.
Annabelle smiled, "It’s fine, it’s the same that we are told now!"
"Alistair didn’t come back with you?" Ralphy looked at Annabelle and asked.
"He went back to the company."
"Brother Alistair was always so busy, right?" Renee chuckled.
Annabelle nodded, "Sometimes!"
When they were talking, Waynie walked over and said, "Auntie Li bought a lot of fruits today, let me cut
them for you guys. Wait a while!"
"Auntie, let me help!"
"There’s no need, just sit down and wait for a while!"
"It’s okay, I want to learn as well…" As she was saying that, Renee followed Waynie into the kitchen.
Annabelle and Ralphy were left alone in the living room. The atmosphere was peculiar.
Annabelle stood up and walked towards the balcony.
When Ralphy saw that, he followed after her.
"How are you the past few days?" Ralphy asked.
"Not bad, not bad at all!" Annabelle said. After that, she tilted her head and looked at Ralphy, "Bro, are
you really engaging with Renee?"
Ralphy put his hand in the pocket and casted his gaze over the yard. He pondered for a while and
answered, "Yeah."
"Have you really considered it properly?" Annabelle asked.
Although she knew that Ralphy was doing that for the sake of the Xia family, she couldn’t help but ask
again.
She hoped that every one of them could get their own happiness. At the very least, they could have the
freedom to seek it.
When Ralphy heard that, he smiled bitterly. The man’s personal interests and thoughts weren’t
important anymore.
If it wasn’t her, it made no difference who he spends the rest of his life with.
However, he wouldn’t be saying that out for the rest of his life. To be exact, he didn’t dare to.
Their distance right now had said more than enough.
"Yeah." He nodded.
Annabelle pondered for a while and said, "I had always thought that you will end up with Dorie, I hadn’t
thought things will turn out like this!"
When Ralphy heard Dorie’s name, he frowned, "Dorie?"
Annabelle stared at him, "Don’t tell me that you didn't know Dorie likes you since the beginning!"
When Ralphy heard that, he was stunned. The man could more all less feel that. But Annabelle didn’t
know that the reason he went out with Dorie was because of her…
"Dorie is a good woman. She will find her happiness!" Ralphy said.
Annabelle nodded, "Yeah, no matter what, since you have made your decision, then this sister of yours
will give you her blessing. Bro, I hope you will be happy!" Annabelle smiled.
No matter what his motivation was, since the man had made up his mind, Annabelle wasn’t in any
place to say anything.
When Ralphy saw Annabelle’s smile, he stared at her. The woman’s smile was like the sun, beautiful
and bright, yet he was unable to get closer.
Happiness…
He was afraid that he wouldn’t have any luck with that blessing for the rest of his life…
At that time, the mother’s voice interrupted them.
"Annabelle, Ralphy, come out and eat your fruits!" Waynie called out from inside.
When the siblings heard that, they looked towards the living room. Renee and Waynie came out with a
plate of fruits each and lowered it on the coffee table in the living room.
"Coming!" Annabelle said. She glanced over at Ralphy and walked outside.
Ralphy breathed a deep breath and followed after her.
"What were at the two of you talking about?" Renee looked at them and asked.
Waynie smiled, "These siblings always like to gossip since they were kids!" Waynie chuckled from
beside.
When Annabelle came out, she looked at them and smiled, "Nothing much. Renee, I wish you and my
brother happiness!"
Renee hadn’t expected Annabelle to say that so suddenly. She smiled back, "Thank you!"
"All right, we are one family now, don’t be so reserved! Come, let’s eat some fruits!" Waynie said.
And so, the three of them sat down in the living room and enjoyed their food. Ralphy sat there and he
seemed to be absent minded.
"Annabelle, when do you plan to marry brother Alistair?" Renee asked suddenly.
When Annabelle heard that, she simply smiled, "I don’t know yet, but we aren’t rushing and decided to
follow the flow!"
Renee nodded agreeably, "You are the perfect match for brother Alistair!"
"Thank you!"
The two women continued to chat while Ralphy kept quiet by the side. The man stole glances at
Annabelle from time to time and he had a strong emotion within…
……
When Dorie saw Ralphy’s news, she was stunned.
This particular news was a completely different thing from their previous encounter.
Previously, it might be just a fling. However right now, Ralphy was really getting married with another
woman.
Dorie couldn’t help but feel a little sad. After all, she had liked the man almost all her life.
But she wasn’t feeling a strong emotion like the previous time, she didn't have the urge to even cry
after reading the newspaper. Ever since the previous incident, she had gained immunity. She didn’t feel
anything close to as bad as the previous time.
However, she was feeling an emptiness inside and she was dispirited.
After the previous conflict, Dorie had never gone to look for Su anymore. She would go to work every
day and visit her shop from time to time, and then go home after that.
Her life was back to normal.
That day, after Annabelle came out from the Xia household, she made a call to her.
"Where are you?"
"At home."
"I will go over right now!"
"Why?"
"I missed you!"
"All right!"
"Should I bring anything?"
"Beer!!"
Annabelle, "… Okay, got it!"
After hanging up the phone, Dorie was still lazing in the bed. After sometime, the doorbell rang and she
got up to open the door.
When Annabelle stood by the door and saw Dorie’s face, she jerked in fright, "What’s wrong with you?"
"What do you mean what’s wrong?"
"Why do you have such a serious dark circle? Have you not been sleeping?" Annabelle asked.
"I stayed up late to watch the drama last night!"
Annabelle walked inside and put the beer on the table. When she saw that the room was in a complete
mess, she had a good guess what happened.
"Why are you here at such hour? Don’t you have to go home and accompany your Mr. Mu?" Dorie
asked.
"What now? Chasing me out right after I reached?"
"Not at all!" After saying that, Dorie took up a bottle of beer and sat down on the couch. She opened
the cover and started drinking.
Annabelle knew that she wasn’t in a good mood and she didn’t say much. She took out another bottle
and drank with her.
"By the way, you called me the other day and talked about Su, what’s wrong with him?" Annabelle
asked lazily.
When Dorie heard that, her gesture paused a little and she said right away, "Don’t mention him, I don’t
know that man!"
The more she behaved that way, the more Annabelle was positive that Dorie was angry at him, "What
did he do? He made you angry?"
The moment Annabelle mentioned that, Dorie was even more infuriated. She sat up and looked at
Annabelle, "I have never seen such a stupid man! He knew that it was Yoi that made his life a mess.
But when he saw her getting into trouble, all he could think of was her!" As she said that, she was
simmering in anger, "He deserved it! He deserved to get cheated!"
Annabelle, "……"
Dorie seemed to be very angry. Thus, Annabelle decided to keep her mouth shut and listen to her.
After sometime, Dorie was a little tipsy. She looked at Annabelle and said, "Annabelle, are you here to
comfort me today?"
Annabelle didn’t say anything in return. She looked at her and kept her silence.
"I know, your brother is engaged and you are afraid that I will be sad. Therefore, you came to comfort
me, right?" After saying that, she leaned on Annabelle. Dorie couldn’t hold back her tears anymore and
they flowed down her cheek.
"Don’t you worry, I am fine. I simply think that the man I have liked for the past decade was gone just
like that… And I felt a deep regret and a little dejected. But I am fine!" Dorie said.
Annabelle looked at Dorie. The woman hardly shows a side of weakness. Annabelle just felt heavy
hearted whenever she saw her being sad like that.
Annabelle wanted to comfort her. But she noticed that when the words came to her mouth, she didn’t
know how to say it.
At that time, Dorie sat up and wiped off her tears, "Actually, I am not that sad anymore. Ever since the
previous time, I have decided to give up on your brother. Moreover, if he really has feelings towards
me, he would have explained things to me. But he didn’t, that just proved that he didn’t have any
feelings towards me. If that’s the case, why should I be sad?"
"Although I, Dorie isn’t the best, I still worth a good man that loves me all his heart, right?" Dorie looked
at Annabelle and smiled.
When Annabelle heard that, she nodded, "Of course! Who said you aren’t the best!? In my opinion, you
are the very best, and you should definitely look for someone who loves you wholeheartedly!"
When Dorie heard that, she lifted her bottle for a toast. She raised her chin and chuckled, "That’s of
course, I will definitely be happy!"
Annabelle lifted her bottle and clinked with her. The two of them continued to drink.
"Although I lost a man, I still have you, right? Our relationship will never change because of your
brother!" Dorie hugged Annabelle and said.
"Of course not!" Otherwise, Annabelle wouldn’t have come to check out on her.
When Dorie heard that, she chuckled, "That’s good enough, cheers!"
"Cheers!" All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
And so, Annabelle accompanied Dorie to drink.
When Dorie was so drunk that she fell asleep on the couch, Annabelle didn’t disturb her. She simply let
her sleep on the couch. Annabelle went inside the room and brought her a blanket. When Annabelle
looked at her sleeping, she couldn’t help but sighed.
Although Dorie said plenty, she still couldn’t help but worry about her.
After making sure that she was sound asleep, Annabelle breathed a sigh of relief. She took out her
phone and called Alistair to pick her up.
When Annabelle walked down, Alistair was already waiting for her downstairs. The moment Annabelle
saw him, she quickened her steps and hugged the man.
Alistair was stunned as he looked at the woman in his hug. His lips curled up, "What’s wrong?"
Annabelle hugged him and exclaimed, "Nothing… I simply think that I am truly fortunate, to share this
mutual love with you!"
Alistair’s lips curled up and looked at Annabelle, "Miss Xia, you are getting more and more inviting
lately!"
Annabelle looked back at Alistair, "Why? You don’t like it?"
"Of course… I love it!" After saying that, Alistair raised her chin and kissed her lips gently.
No matter how Annabelle acts, he would always love her. And he couldn’t resist his love towards her.
The couple hugged each other under the streetlight, their shadows intertwined together and wouldn’t
separate…
