Chapter 634 Unforgettable
Chapter 634 Unforgettable
After he went back to his room, his wife just showered and was about to sleep.
When Zen walked inside and saw that she wanted to sleep, he called her name, "Roline…"
"Yes?" Madam Mu turned her head back and looked at him, "What's wrong?"
Zen thought for a while and said, "Drink some milk, it is good for your sleep!"
Madam Mu smiled and said, "I have already drunk it!"
Zen was stunned and he nodded. He wanted to speak his mind but didn't know how.
His wife could tell that he had something in his mind. She looked at him and asked, "What's wrong? Did
anything happen?"
He raised his gaze and looked at her. After contemplating for a while, Zen said, "Roline, thank you!"
When the wife heard that, she was stunned. After that, she chuckled, "Why so sudden? What are you
thanking me for?"
"You have suffered all these years!" Zen said.
The wife was stunned as she looked at him in puzzlement, "Did anything happened?"
"I just had a talk with Alistair. He said that some time ago you thought I had a mistress." Zen said.
The bedroom light was warm. When the wife heard Zen, she was stunned. She was completely
surprised to hear Zen mentioning that.
The woman had been hiding her feelings all these years and she made sure not to mention it.
However, keeping quiet doesn't mean she wasn't hurt. She lowered her head and didn't know what to
answer.
"I want to tell you that I do not have a mistress, you have misunderstood me!" Zen said.
Madam Mu was stunned and she looked at Zen in disbelief.
"At that time, I was kidnapped and a policeman saved me. However, he sacrificed himself in the Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
process. Although he was simply exacting his duties, I do not think of it that way. It was a life saving
grace. I wanted to repay his family and I knew that he had a wife and an unborn child. Therefore, I
wanted to take care of them to repay his grace!" Zen said. The moment he recalled the past, he
couldn't help but sighed.
"And… After that?" Madam Mu asked. She knew that his kidnapped and also how much he wanted to
compensate the policeman's family. However, she didn't know what happened after that.
"After that, I took care of them for some time. But when the wife was about to give birth, she
disappeared!" Zen said.
"And so, you were searching for her all that while?" The wife asked.
Zen nodded.
Madam Mu came to a slow realization. That year, she overheard Zen making a call outside his study
room. The man was anxious to look for the woman and he didn't mind the consequences for how much
money spent.
Now that he explained it, she learnt of the truth.
"Then, what happened in the end?" Madam Mu asked, "Did you manage to find her?"
Zen shook his head, "No…"
Madam Mu felt remorseful. She looked at Zen and contemplated for a while, "Sorry, I had
misunderstood you for so long!"
When Zen heard that, he smiled heartily, "You don't have to apologize. I should be the one apologizing
to you. There must be honesty and trust between husband and wife. But I failed to tell you the truth and
caused you to misunderstand. You must have suffered for the past twenty years!"
Madam Mu was agreeable with his statement.
She had to admit that she had tried her best for the past two decades to be a good wife, a good mother
and a good daughter in law. But whenever she thought about that incident, she would feel a great
sorrow in her heart. Whenever Zen showed her favor, she would recall that incident and distanced
herself from Zen…
Now that the man finally explained it, it was actually just a misunderstanding.
Madam Mu's eyes welled up in tears. She looked at Zen and she smiled bitterly. She was at loss of
words.
"Therefore, I must thank you. Even though something like that happened, you continued to take care of
this household. Roline, thank you for the good work!" Zen said.
Madam Mu smiled and leaned into Zen's hug, "How fortunate that you are telling me this now.
Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to move on for the rest of my life!"
Zen smiled, "Roline, you are really the best woman I've seen in my life. Luckily I married you, otherwise
I would be regretting it for the rest of my life!"
After hearing that, the wife chuckled, "Since when did you learn to be so cheeky like your son?"
"Like father like son. He was the one that inherited my genetics!" Zen said narcissistically.
Madam Mu smiled and hugged Zen. In that instance, she felt that all the sorrow and grief for the past
two decades had disappeared into thin smoke.
Fortunately she persevered. Fortunately… It was just a misunderstanding. Otherwise she wouldn't
know what she may missed in her life!
Zen hugged his wife. Although they were old in age now, he managed to learn a truth in life.
No matter how old a person is, they must be honest to those they love. So that misunderstandings
wouldn't lead them and their relationship apart…
The next day.
Alistair received a call early in the morning. There was some problem with the project and Alistair
needed to go personally.
The phone call woke the two persons up.
Annabelle looked at Alistair and asked, "What happened? Is anything wrong?"
"Something went wrong with the project and I needed to go check on it personally!"
"Where are you going?"
"Singapore!"
"Such a hurry?" Annabelle asked.
Alistair nodded and looked at Annabelle. All of a sudden he had an idea, "Do you want to follow me?"
"Huh?"
"Let's go to Singapore together!" Alistair said.
Annabelle pondered for a while and said, "Forget it. You are going there to work, I do not want to
distract you!"
"You staying here would make me worry and distract me. Come with me, I do not wish to be separated
from you!" After saying that, Alistair hugged Annabelle and kissed her.
When Annabelle felt his attachment, she smiled, "Mr. Mu, I'm afraid I am really unable to go together
with you!"
"Why?"
"My passport is gone!"
Alistair, "Apply it again!"
"That would take at least two weeks!"
Alistair frowned, "Damn it, why is it gone all of a sudden?" Alistair asked.
Annabelle shook her head, "I was planning a travel. But I just couldn't find it anywhere and I haven't
went to reapply yet!"
When Annabelle saw that Alistair's face was grim, she looked at him and smiled, "All right, you are
going for work, not play. After you are done, let's go travel together!"
"Do I have a choice?" Alistair was upset as he asked.
Annabelle smiled and moved closer to kiss on his lips, "Be a good boy, I'll go pack your luggage!" After
saying that, Annabelle wanted to get down the bed.
At that time, Alistair pulled her back in, "Don't worry about the luggage. Now that I am leaving soon,
shouldn't you do something?" After saying that, he flipped Annabelle over and climbed on top of her.
He looked at her and grinned ribaldly, "We will be separated for such a long time. I will definitely miss
you!" When Annabelle looked at him, she chuckled, "Aren't you in a rush?"
"I will definitely make it in time!" After saying that, he lowered his face and kissed her…
In the airport.
Annabelle looked at Alistair and said, "Have a safe flight and I wish your work all the best!"
Alistair looked at her and said, "During these times that I am not around, wait for me obediently. Make
sure your phone is on twenty-four seven. Do not ever switch it off. Do not ever spent time with the
opposite sex alone. Call me if anything happens!"
When Annabelle heard Alistair, she chuckled, "During times like these, shouldn't I be the one to tell you
not to look at other women as you're travelling alone?"
Alistair smiled and lifted Annabelle's chin. He didn't care about the public's gaze and got nearer to her.
After that, he declared confidently, "Don't worry, aside from you, no one else is good enough to impress
me!"
Annabelle smiled and tiptoed as she hugged Alistair. Alistair stretched out his arms and hugged her
back.
The crowd around them looked at them enviously. After that, they averted their gaze and pretended
they saw nothing.
At that time, they heard the announcement from the airport, "This is a boarding call for passengers to
Singapore…"
When Alistair heard that, he released Annabelle, "Alright, I shall leave first. Wait for me to come home!"
Annabelle nodded and looked at him, "I'll wait for you!"
Alistair smiled and kissed her lips. After a passionate kiss, Alistair separated from her heavy heartedly.
Jack and the rest of the workers were just stressed out to see how his boss behaved.
"How I wish I could stuff you in my luggage!" Alistair said.
Annabelle smiled, "Alright, time to board!"
Alistair nodded and said, "See you!"
Annabelle nodded and Alistair boarded the plane with a heavy heart.
Annabelle stood there and watched as Alistair walked inside. After he passed the security check, she
turned around and left.
That was the first time the couple separated after being together for so long. Although they were a little
upset, they looked forward to the exhilaration when they meet again.
When Annabelle left the airport and waited for her ride, a car drove towards her and parked right next
to her.
"Miss Xia, what are you doing here?"
As the car window was brought down and Annabelle saw the man inside, she was stunned, "Mr. Kaleb,
what are you doing here?"
"There were some work matters. What about you? Are you waiting for a cab?" Kaleb asked. Whenever
he saw Annabelle, he felt an inexplicable affinity.
Annabelle nodded.
"I am going back as well. Do you want to come along?" Kaleb said.
"Will that be a trouble?"
Kaleb shook his head, "We are going in the same direction, how can that be any trouble?"
"Then… Alright!"
If Annabelle were to book a cab, it might take some time. Since that was the case, Annabelle went in
his car.
Right after getting in the car, Annabelle called to cancel the cab ride. After hanging up the call, Kaleb
looked at her, "Alistair went outstation?"
Annabelle nodded with a smile, "Yes!"
"No wonder you were standing there alone!"
Annabelle smiled.
At that time, the man in the front seat, Hua, saw Annabelle and he was stunned.
He was taken by surprised because Annabelle resembled the woman in the picture he saw. But after
he investigated Annabelle's background, he casted his doubts away.
"Miss Xia, thank you for saving Brother Kaleb that time!" Hua said.
When Annabelle heard that, she looked at Hua, "Anyone would have done that. Moreover, Mr. Kaleb
had thanked me many times already. You don't have to worry about it!"
"You saved Brother Kaleb and that is equal to saving me. If you need anything in the future, I will do
everything I can to help!" Hua said.
Annabelle nodded with a smile.
At that time, Brother Kaleb sat beside Annabelle. He looked at Annabelle and his lips curled up.
"By the way, Mr. Kaleb, when you attended my brother's wedding, why didn't I see your wife?"
Annabelle asked casually.
When Hua heard that, he was stunned. He looked at Annabelle through the rearview mirror but didn't
say anything.
Kaleb was stunned as well. He simply smiled, "I don't have a wife!"
Annabelle was stunned as she looked at Kaleb in disbelief. The man was almost in his fifties, how was
it possible for him to not have a wife?
"Pardon me…" Annabelle realized that she might had mentioned something inappropriate and she
apologized.
Kaleb simply smiled, "There's nothing to feel sorry for. It's not that I didn't have a wife. But when I was
young, she left me!"
Annabelle hadn't thought Brother Kaleb would continue and she asked, "Why did that happen?"
"I was the one that forced her to leave!"
Annabelle was even more perturbed and she stared at Kaleb.
Kaleb smiled, "And now, karma hits me. I couldn't forget about her and I couldn't find her!"
The man was smiling bitterly and Annabelle didn't know how she should comfort him. The woman
simply said, "I think she must be heartbroken!"
Kaleb side, "I don't know…"
"Since you still couldn't forget about her after so long, I believe you will be able to find her one day!"
Annabelle said.
Kaleb smiled, "Hopefully!"
When Annabelle heard that the man was the one that forced his wife to leave, she felt that everyone
should take up the consequences of their actions. But then again, he had forced his own wife to leave
him, why bother looking for her again?
In Annabelle's point of view, she felt that a couple should face everything together. No matter what
Kaleb's motivation was when he forced his wife away, it was inexcusable. But after hearing what he
said, that he couldn't forget about her and couldn't find her, Annabelle felt sympathetic. She just
couldn't blame the man.
She even felt that it was commendable that he stayed loyal.
When Annabelle thought about that, she smiled. And she just couldn't explain the peculiar emotions
she felt.
Women are always such emotional creatures.
Annabelle hadn't expected a mobster, someone high and mighty in his status would tell her that. Not
only that, Kaleb wasn't as what rumors described. He was the exact opposite, friendly and easy-going.
There was quite a long journey from the airport to the city and there were only four persons in the car.
Annabelle and Kaleb were chatting. Although the two of them were vastly different in age, they felt they
had never-ending topics. As if they could just talk about everything.
They had a great time talking.
Hua sat in the front seat and looked at them through the rearview mirror. Although Annabelle
mentioned Kaleb's taboo topics, it was unexpected that Kaleb did not get angry at all and he told
Annabelle all his secrets.
Not only that, it had been a while since he laughed like that.
As long as the man could be happy, Hua didn't mind.
However, the enjoyable moments always fly fast. They reached the city soon enough.
All of a sudden, nobody knew what happened and the driver made a sharp brake. As they were driving
quite fast, everyone inside the car fell forward. At that very moment, Kaleb caught and held Annabelle.
The car was brought to a stop.
Hua turned his head back worriedly and looked at Kaleb, "Brother Kaleb, are you are right?"
And Kaleb looked at Annabelle, "Are you all right? Did you get hurt anywhere?"
Annabelle was in a complete shock and she couldn't react at all. Fortunately, Brother Kaleb held her,
otherwise she might bump onto the front seat.
Annabelle shook her head, "I am fine!"
At that time, Kaleb looked at the driver and asked, "What happened?"
"Sorry, Mr. Kaleb. Someone just ran out the road all of a sudden…" The driver said nervously. Luckily
he managed to brake on time, otherwise, they might get into real trouble!
"Any problem?"
"No, the man left!" The driver answered.
Kaleb took a look outside and said, "Let's move!"
"Yes, sir!" After that, the driver calmed himself down and drove away.
After a short while, the car went back to its silence. Annabelle looked at Kaleb and asked, "Mr. Kaleb,
are you all right? Did you hurt yourself?"
Kaleb shook his head smilingly, "I am completely fine!"
Annabelle nodded, "That's great!"
Brother Kaleb smiled and it was quiet in the car after that. Sometime later, they reached the entrance of
Yun Rui and Annabelle said, "Mr. Kaleb, thank you for sending me back!"
"You are most welcome. You saved my life and I helped you. Fate just keep bringing us together!"
Annabelle smiled and got down the car, "All right, I shall leave now!"
Kaleb nodded, "Okay!"
Annabelle nodded her head manneredly and walked inside the company. Kaleb continued to wait
outside the entrance. When Annabelle entered the company and disappeared from his side, Kaleb
asked the driver to drive away.
Hua looked at Kaleb, "Brother Kaleb, are you all right? Did you get injured earlier?"
Kaleb shook his head, "I am fine."
The man turned his head back and looked towards Yun Rui again. His eyebrows furrowed deeply. The
man noticed that whenever he met Annabelle, he felt a strong sense of closeness. Was that because of
how much she resembled Dawson Xiao?
They looked so identical that even their temperament was the same.
Kaleb sighed.
At that time, his phone rang. After Hua answered the call, he was stunned. The man hesitated for a
while and passed the phone to Kaleb.
Kaleb glanced at the phone and took it over.
"Hello…"
"Mr. Kaleb, we got news!"
