My Killing President

Chapter 653 Kiss

For the next few days, Nancy felt that Alistair was deliberately maintaining a distance with her.

She was very uncomfortable with the tension between them but she couldn't say anything.

One day.

Annabelle and Alistair went back to the Mu House to eat.

After the dinner, Annabelle went to the balcony to chill and relax. At that time, Nancy approached her,

"Sister Annabelle, I rarely see you anymore!"

Annabelle was holding a glass of warm water and she was looking into a distance, "Yeah, I was quite

tired lately and just lazy to move!"

Nancy nodded and looked at her, "Sister Annabelle, I heard that some time ago, Alistair was even

willing to sacrifice his own life to save you!"

Annabelle didn't expect Nancy to mention that so suddenly. She tilted her head and looked at her,

"Yeah, why?"

Nancy shook her head, "Nothing. I simply thought that Alistair always looks cold and cool but he has a

warm heart. I remembered that when we were overseas, he did the same for me as well, almost losing

his life…"

When Annabelle heard that, she was stunned. She knew that Nancy was telling her that on purpose.

But it was also true that she didn't know about that.

It seemed that the two of them had known each other long ago and their relationship wasn't simple at

all.

Nancy looked into the distance and smiled, "I have known him since long ago. At that time, he suffered

a grave injury because of me. Now that I think of it, at that time I was completely moved. I even said an

oath that I must marry a man like him!"

Annabelle held her glass of warm water and stared into space. Her eyes narrowed but she didn't say

anything.

At that time, Nancy smiled and turned her head over to look at her, "That was just a thought when I was

younger. Sister Annabelle, you wouldn't mind, right?"

Probably it was due to the pregnancy and Annabelle was just sensitive.

Nancy smiled and her tone felt intentional. It was as if she was telling Annabelle that Alistair saved her

not because of love but it was simply due to his character.

Annabelle looked at her and said, "Of course not. That was all in the past. Everyone was young before

and it is understandable that they could do something crazy. Why should I mind?"

Nancy's expression tensed up. After that, she smiled even more sweetly, "Yeah, I think so too.

Therefore the moment I heard that story, I figured that Alistair must love you very much. Hence, he did

that!"

Annabelle smiled and didn't answer anymore. However, Nancy just couldn't guess her thought while

looking at her smile.

The two of them were silent for a while. After that, Nancy spoke suddenly, "By the way, it is my birthday

tomorrow. Sister Annabelle, you must make sure to come! You can also bring your good friends along,

since I don't know anyone here!"

Annabelle nodded, "I will."

"Then I should get back inside first!"

Annabelle nodded as Nancy turned around and left. The woman continued to stand in the balcony and

she seemed completely unbothered by Nancy's words. However, her flickering eyes betrayed her true

feelings.

On Nancy's birthday.

Since the woman didn't know many people here, she invited her only friends: the four young masters of

A city. And the men brought a few closer friends.

It was a small party.

Organized in the Mu House.

The Mu House was huge and it had more than enough space for a small birthday celebration party.

Not only that, the Mu family had invested plenty of effort and money for this celebration.

Nancy purposely went to buy a birthday dress and she wanted to get all the spotlight during the party.

Annabelle decided to go as well. Although she dreaded it, it would be too obvious if she were to skip it.

Meanwhile, she invited Dorie.

That was after Dorie's relentless nag to come along. She wanted to see this Nancy for herself and

Annabelle just couldn't stop her. However, since Nancy herself asked Annabelle to invite her friends,

Annabelle agreed to Dorie's request.

During this occasion, Annabelle avoided wearing high heels and she wore a pair of comfortable All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

sneakers. She wore a loose one-piece dress and it was impossible to tell that she was pregnant.

Luckily she was only two weeks in and her body figure was just as great.

Dorie wore a party dress. She was curious to see how this woman looked like. Previously, Dorie had

only seen her from afar and she didn't get a clear look.

Once Annabelle entered the house, Jerry Kuang noticed her get-up and he joked, "Miss Xia, you are

dressing up weirdly!"

Annabelle chuckled and she knew that he was referring to her shoe. She smiled and asked back,

"What's the problem? Doesn't it look nice?"

"It does look nice but it just isn't your style!"

Annabelle smiled, "I accidentally twisted my ankle and I need to avoid wearing high heels for the time

being!"

Jerry Kuang raised an eyebrow and didn't think much. After that, he looked at the woman next to

Annabelle.

Annabelle caught on and she said, "Let me introduce, my BFF, Dorie!"

"That is Jerry Kuang, Sean and Thomas Mo. They are all Alistair's friends!" Annabelle introduced.

Dorie looked at the three legendary men. Although she had seen them in some dinner parties before

this, she hadn't been standing face-to-face with them in such close distance. Not only that, she was

introduced as friends.

A smile blossomed on Dorie's face, "Hello guys, just call me Dorie!"

"Dorie, what an adorable name!" The playboy Jerry Kuang started to flirt at her.

Dorie smiled. Although she did not have any association with the three men in the past, she had heard

numerous gossips about them. She simply smiled back to greet them.

At that time, Sean looked at Annabelle, "Where is Alistair? Didn't he come with you?"

"I figure he would come straight from the company!"

Sean nodded and didn't think much.

At that time, Dorie nudged Annabelle. She looked at them and said, "Excuse me for a moment!"

The three men nodded and Annabelle and Dorie walked away.

Dorie was touring around. It was her first time visiting Alistair's house and she was completely

awestruck.

"Does president Mu have a lot of family members? Isn't this house just too big?!"

When Annabelle heard her, she giggled, "Then do you want to move here?"

"Not at all, I'm afraid I might get lost!"

Annabelle burst into a giggle.

Dorie dragged Annabelle away to the dining table. When she saw those foods, she couldn't help but

exclaimed, "It is just a simple birthday party. Is there a need to be so extravagant?!" Her tone reflected

her irritation.

At that time, Dorie looked at Annabelle and said, "By the way, Annabelle, your birthday is coming soon

too, right?"

"It's still early!"

"Not at all, just in one month!" Dorie pondered for a while and said, "Let us wait and see what Alistair

would do. If it is just like this for even inferior to this, then you can kick him out!"

Annabelle simply smiled undisturbedly, she didn't have any demands for her birthday. As of the

moment, her major concern was to maintain a good mood.

When Dorie looked at the food, she harrumphed, "Hmph, I shall see what this woman is all about, and

then finish all this food!" As she said that, her eyes were twinkling in stars as she stared at the food.

Annabelle smiled, "All right, you can start eating first. I'll go sit over there!"

Dorie nodded hurriedly, "Okay!"

Dorie was starving. She came right after finishing work and she didn't manage to eat anything at all.

Now that she saw so many good foods, she was trying to avenge Annabelle by finishing them off.

Annabelle was sitting by the corner. There was quite a small crowd gathering that but they were mostly

socializing with the three young masters.

The crowd was lingering near to their couch.

At that moment, Nancy came down from upstairs. The woman had dressed herself up sensationally.

She permed her long hair and wore a long dress. She looked youthful and sexy at the same time.

When she came down from upstairs, she walked towards the three men.

"Brother Jerry, brother Sean, brother Thomas, you guys are early!"

"That's of course! It's your birthday!" Jerry Kuang said. He was the most talkative person amongst the

three.

Nancy smiled and looked at them, "Am I pretty today?"

"Absolutely gorgeous! You are our star for the night!"

"How about my birthday presents?"

"You want to see us or the birthday presents?"

"Both!"

"We will give it to you later!"

"That's more like it!" Nancy laughed.

When they were chatting about, there was a furore at the door and there could only be one possibility:

Alistair came home.

The man's appearance could always cause a furore.

Alistair was wearing an authentic Armani suit and he had a dominating posture. Especially his face, it

was so gorgeous that the ladies just couldn't help but screamed.

His appearance was like sunshine to Nancy and she cheered, "Alistair, you are here!"

Alistair looked at Nancy and walked towards her, "Happy birthday!" After saying that, he hugged her.

Nancy hugged him back, "Thank you!"

After that, she looked at him from head to toe, "Alistair, did the few of you agreed beforehand not to

bring me any presents!?"

Alistair chuckled and looked around. After that, he noticed Annabelle sitting in a corner. It was obvious

that she had seen the earlier scene.

The moment he saw Annabelle, his lips curled up, "Don't worry, you will definitely get it later!"

Nancy smiled contentedly.

At that time, Alistair looked at Annabelle and walked towards her.

Annabelle sat there and didn't stand up. When Alistair was right in front of her, he asked, "Why are you

sitting here?"

"Tired, don't feel like moving."

"You should at least wish her!" After that, he held Annabelle's hand naturally.

The two of them walked towards Nancy.

When Nancy saw Annabelle, she was surprised, "Sister Annabelle, you are here! I didn't see you just

now!"

Annabelle smiled and she didn't mind.

At that time, Alistair's assistant passed him the present from behind. He handled it to Nancy, "This is

your present from me and Annabelle. We wish that you get pretty and prettier!"

Nancy was stunned when she heard that. She was holding the present and wanted to open it. But after

hearing that, she decided otherwise and smiled, "Thank you!"

She shook her present.

"Happy birthday!" Annabelle said indifferently. She didn't expect Alistair to buy just one gift.

At that time, the three young masters delivered their presents.

"It seems like I am having a good harvest today!" Nancy cheered loudly to cover up her

disappointment.

"I think most of the people are here. Shall we start?"

"How about starting the party with a dance?" Nancy suggested.

Jerry Kuang nodded, "Sure, let's dance first and cut the cake later!"

Nancy smiled. At that time, the music was played and Nancy looked at Alistair.

However, Alistair simply extended his hand towards Annabelle and asked, "May I have the first dance?"

Annabelle smiled. No matter how tired she was, she needed to accept it. Otherwise Alistair would lose

face.

She placed her hand on Alistair's palm and the two of them went into the dance floor.

When Jerry Kuang noticed that, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and invited Nancy for a dance,

"Nancy, can I dance with you?"

"Sure!" Nancy smiled and went into the dance floor with Jerry Kuang.

How fortunate that they had such a good friend like Jerry Kuang, cleaning up their mess every time.

As they were dancing, Alistair looked at Annabelle and asked, "Why are you wearing this pair of

shoes?"

"It's more comfortable!"

Alistair frowned. That just wasn't like Annabelle. She had always known to dress up according to

occasion. However…

"Are you unhappy?"

"No." Annabelle answered indifferently. After that, she asked, "Why did you buy just one present?"

"Isn't it enough to buy one for the two of us?"

Annabelle knew what Alistair meant. She simply smiled and didn't say anything.

At that time, Dorie was eating to her heart's content. The moment she saw Alistair dancing with

Annabelle, she was satisfied. She decided to go take a look at Nancy later. For now, she should just

continue to enjoy herself…

Jerry Kuang was dancing with Nancy but the woman kept looking at Alistair.

Jerry Kuang looked at her and asked, "What now? Should I release you to go dance with Alistair?"

"Huh?" Nancy came back to her senses and looked at Jerry Kuang, "What?"

"Should I release you so you can dance with Alistair?"

"There's no need. Sister Annabelle might be unhappy!"

"No matter what, you are Alistair's life savior. I think Annabelle wouldn't mind." As he said that, Jerry

Kuang loosened his hold and Nancy was unprepared.

"Alistair, let's exchange partners!" After receiving Jerry Kuang's signal, Alistair had no choice but to

release Annabelle and danced with Nancy.

Annabelle went to Jerry Kuang as well and it happened in mere seconds.

As Annabelle looked at Jerry Kuang, he said smilingly, "Miss Xia, you wouldn't mind, right?"

She wouldn't?

Annabelle didn't know what had gotten into her. Probably she was just too sensitive. The moment

Alistair released his hold, her heart sank.

However, she knew that she must continue to smile, "No!"

Jerry Kuang could see her dejection and he said, "No matter what, Nancy was the one that saved

Alistair. And she stayed in the Mu House because of Alistair. It is her birthday today and it is only

appropriate for Alistair to dance with her!"

And everything seemed all right in the men's perspective.

However, not everything has to make perfect sense.

Annabelle smiled, "If you say so!"

Jerry Kuang smiled but he was worried about Alistair. Nancy wasn't Yoi, nor the pushy nurse. He knew

about their history.

And a friend just couldn't help but worry if Alistair would be able to handle it properly…

On the other side.

Alistair was dancing with Nancy.

As Nancy looked at Alistair, she asked, "This wouldn't affect your relationship with sister Annabelle,

right?"

"No it won't. Annabelle isn't that kind of person!"

"Glad to hear that!" Nancy smiled. As they continued to dance, she chuckled, "Alistair, do you still

remember the first time we learnt to dance? I always stepped on your toes but you could get the moves

right in first try…"

"Of course, I remember that. That little girl back then had grown up splendidly!"

Nancy smiled, "I miss those times when we were little!"

"However, we have grown up now. No matter how much we miss those times and wanted to go back,

we couldn't!" Alistair said. His words were ambiguous and one just couldn't grasp what he was trying to

say.

Even Nancy was perplexed.

However, Alistair didn't say anything anymore and he continued to dance gracefully with Nancy.

Soon after, the first song ended.

The crowd gave them a round of applause.

Nancy smiled, "This is my happiest birthday celebration after so many years!"

"You still have a long way to go and your happiness is just waiting for you right at the corner!"

As they were talking, the birthday song was played. The butler pushed the cake out in a trolley and

walked slowly towards Nancy.

A smile blossomed in Nancy's face.

"Did you prepare it for me?"

"How could you not have a birthday cake during your birthday?"

"Thank you!"

The crowd gathered around her and give her their blessings and applause.

When the music ended, Alistair looked at her, "Birthday girl, you can make a wish now!"

Nancy nodded and interlocked her fingers under her chin. She closed her eyes and made her wish.

A few seconds later, she opened her eyes and said, "It's done!"

"You may blow the candles!"

"Let's do it together!" She grabbed Alistair's arm naturally on one side and grabbed Jerry Kuang's arm

on the other. After that, she blew the candles.

"Happy birthday!"

"Happy birthday!"

"Happy birthday!"

Everyone gave her their blessing.

Nancy smiled heartily while she grabbed on both Alistair and Jerry Kuang's arms, as if she was

marking her turf.

"Happy birthday!" Alistair looked at her and said sincerely.

At that time, Nancy tiptoed and kissed Alistair's cheek.

"Thank you!"

The crowd around didn't show much of a response. However, those that knew Alistair's relationship

looked at each other and was stunned. Even Alistair was surprised. He instinctively looked towards

Annabelle in the crowd.

Annabelle simply stood there without any expression. She was even looking back at them with clear

eyes and she appeared to be completely unbothered.

No one could tell what she was thinking.

At that time, Nancy turned her head over and looked at Jerry Kuang. After that, she kissed on his

cheek as well, "Brother Jerry, thank you!"
