My Killing President

Chapter 673 Secret

Outside.

Alistair answered the call, "Hello!"

"Alistair, where are you?" The person that called was none other than Nancy.

"With sister Annabelle and her family?" Nancy asked nonchalantly.

Alistair frowned and looked around, "How did you know?"

"I'm afraid everyone in the world knows that you are getting married. How can I not know?"

Alistair, "…"

"Don't worry, I am simply making this call to give you my blessings. I hope you can be happy!"

"Nancy…"

*Beep*

When Alistair wanted to say something, the call was ended.

Alistair looked at his phone for a while and went back after that.

Everything went well at first. But after the call from Nancy, Alistair felt a little down casted.

At that time, Annabelle looked at him and asked, "What's wrong?"

Alistair smiled and put his phone back in his pocket, "Nothing!"

Annabelle didn't ask much and continued to eat.

After the dinner was done, the two families went home.

Annabelle went back together with Alistair while Ralphy drove Teneria, Waynie and Renee An.

The Mu family had their driver picking them up.

After they went home and took a shower, the young couple went to the balcony to enjoy the night

breeze. Annabelle looked at Alistair and asked, "What's wrong? After you answered the call, you

became a little gloomy. Was it from Nancy?"

Alistair did not deny and nodded, "Yeah!"

"How is she?"

"She simply said a few sentences and hung up before I could say anything!"

"Do you want to go check on her?" Annabelle asked.

"There's no need. It's pretty late now and let's leave it to tomorrow!" Alistair said.

Annabelle did not say further. She nodded and looked into the distance. The woman was in deep

thought.

At that time, Alistair moved closer and hugged her from behind, "What are you thinking?"

"Alistair, I have something important to tell you!" Annabelle said suddenly.

Alistair tilted his head and looked at her side. After a short pause, he asked, "What is that?"

"I…" Annabelle hesitated for a while, "Actually, I am not the real daughter of the Xia family!" Annabelle

said.

Alistair had known about this long ago. But he was surprised that Annabelle was telling him that.

"Really?" He raised an eyebrow and asked.

When Annabelle saw that he wasn't surprised at all, she frowned and asked in puzzlement, "Your

reaction is suspicious!"

Alistair looked at her and said, "Actually I have known about this long ago…"

He knew?

Annabelle looked at him with surprise, "How did you know?!"

"Your father told me!"

Annabelle was stunned.

"Ever since we went to tell them about our relationship, your father told me that and he asked me to

take care of you, and be forbearing towards you!" Alistair said.

Annabelle stood there and she was shocked. She didn't imagine that Alistair knew about that.

The woman was just surprised and couldn't react at all.

"Don't worry, it isn't important whether you are the daughter of the Xia family or not. Most importantly,

you are my Annabelle. The one and only Annabelle!" Alistair said.

When Annabelle heard that, her lips curled up and she leaned back in Alistair's hug.

"Actually, I still don't know who my parents are!" Annabelle said.

"Have you thought about searching for them?" Alistair asked.

Annabelle shook her head, "I wouldn't force myself to do that. If it is God's will, we will definitely meet.

Moreover, my parents treated me like their own daughter. Why should I stubbornly go through such

trouble to look for my real parents?"

"Do you want me to help you with that?" Alistair asked.

Annabelle shook her head, "There's no need. I like my life now and let's just follow the flow!"

When Alistair heard Annabelle saying that, he nodded.

Annabelle wasn't a young girl anymore. Although she wasn't old in age, she had a mature mindset.

She wouldn't be disturbed and go to a quest to look for her birth parents. Not only that, she appreciated

what she had. Her grateful personality made Alistair appreciated her even more.

After they stood in the balcony for a long time, Alistair said, "It's pretty late now and we should rest

earlier. Now that the wedding date is decided, you might be very busy from now onwards. In another

word, rest as much as you can!"

When Annabelle heard that, she nodded, "Okay!"

"By the way, Annabelle, I have something to ask you!"

"What is it?" Annabelle asked.

"After getting married, do you want to stay in this apartment in the city or go back to the Mu House?"

Alistair asked.

Annabelle looked at him and asked, "How about you?"

"I will follow wherever you go!" Alistair said.

When Annabelle heard that, she smiled, "Then let's move to the Mu House. It wasn't convenient for me

to stay alone now that I am pregnant. If I am over there, I still have grandma and mom and I wouldn't

be bored!"

Alistair was satisfied to hear that answer.

That was his thought as well. The moment he asked that question, Annabelle could understand his

motivation.

"All right, then it's decided!"

"Mr. Mu, you wanted this as well, right?" Annabelle asked smilingly.

"I wanted you to be taken care of. It is the best choice to move in with my family!"

Annabelle smiled as they went up the bed. Annabelle leaned on Alistair and found herself a

comfortable position.

Alistair tilted his head and looked at her, "It's late now, let's hurry and sleep!"

"Okay!"

"Good night!"

"Good night!"

After turning off the bedside lamps, the room went into silence.

It wasn't too late at that time.

On the other side, the Xia house.

When the family went home, Ralphy went to his study room and Renee An went back to the bedroom.

Teneria and Waynie went back to the room.

After showering, the parents were chatting.

Waynie couldn't help but sighed.

Teneria looked at her and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I am feeling a little sad!"

"Why?"

"People said that you will be sad once-in-a-lifetime when you marry your daughter away. But I have to

experience it twice. Marrying my daughter to the same man!" But after Waynie said that, it felt comical.

Teneria looked at her and smiled, "All right now, there is no need to be sad. It's not like we wouldn't be

able to see her anymore. I can see that the Mu family treats her well. We should be restful!"

Waynie nodded in agreement, "You are right. We can clearly see that the grandmother loves

Annabelle!"

"Although Annabelle isn't our real daughter, we had treated her like our own since she was little. Now

that I see she is happy, I can rest my heart!"

"I know you love her very much. Annabelle is a good girl and she definitely appreciates you!" Teneria

comforted her.

When Waynie heard that, she had a sudden thought, "Do you think if Annabelle had known it long

ago?"

When Teneria heard that, he was stunned. He raised his head and the husband and wife looked at

each other in the eye. After sometime, Teneria spoke, "I don't think so!"

"Do you still remember the time when they were teenagers, she was supposed to study business

management with Ralphy. Moreover, her results came back better than Ralphy. It is obvious that she

was doing a good job in her studies. However, all of the sudden she made the decision to quit…"

"Are you saying…"

Waynie nodded.

After Teneria gave it some thought, he said, "Now that I think of it carefully, it was abrupt indeed!"

"I remember, after that, she even stopped acting coquettish towards me. She had never asked me for

anything too!" The more she said it, the more she thought that it was probable.

Teneria looked at her and said, "Let's not overthink. It doesn't matter if she knows or she doesn't, she is

still our daughter. So many years had passed, did it change anything?"

"I know!" She we and said, "I am simply worried that after Annabelle finds out the truth, she would

blame us!"

"If what you said is true, that she had known long ago, did you ever feel that she was blaming us?"

Waynie shook her head.

"See? You don't need to overthink. It's getting late now and let's sleep earlier!"

"Okay!" Waynie nodded and applied her skin lotion. Right after she lied down, she recalled something

suddenly, "By the way, Teneria, do you have any plans for Annabelle's wedding?"

Teneria was lying on the bed. When he heard the question, he pondered about it seriously and asked,

"What do you have in mind?"

"I heard that Annabelle has around twenty percent of the Mu family's shares. She is now the largest

shareholder for the Mu groups of companies, even more than Alistair!" Waynie said.

Teneria was stunned. He had heard about that but he never asked Annabelle anything.

"It seems that the Xia family treats Annabelle very well!"

Waynie nodded, "Although Annabelle isn't our real daughter, we shouldn't be reserved with her

wedding gifts!"

"Why not we give Annabelle twenty percent of the Xia Group's shares? What do you think?" Teneria

asked.

Waynie hesitated for a while and nodded, "That is a good idea!"

"Aren't you worried that if she finds out the truth she would leave with the twenty percent?!" Teneria

asked with a smile.

Waynie chuckled, "It's just like you said, Annabelle is a good child. Moreover, the Mu family is wealthy Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.

enough. She simply needed to lift a finger to break free from us!"

"It is just twenty percent, how can money hold a candle against our twenty years of family relationship?

I am confident with Annabelle's character and I am not worried at all!"

When Teneria heard Waynie, he smiled and hugged her, "Waynie, you are really the best woman in this

world!"

"Why so?"

"Not just any woman could do what you did!"

"I simply think that Annabelle is a blessing from above!" Waynie said.

Teneria smiled and hugged her while gently tapping on her back.

It was quiet in the bedroom.

However, a heart was pounding rapidly outside the door.

Renee An stood outside the room and a long eye lashes were flickering. The young woman was in

great shock after overhearing their conversation.

Annabelle wasn't their real daughter…

She didn't know why but after listening to that information, she just couldn't calm down. The moment

she came back to her senses, she hurried back into her room.

Her mind was all jumbled up.

She didn't know why she would stay back to hear the parents' talk. But she found it difficult to accept

the truth.

She walked around in her room and she tried to convince herself.

What if that was the truth? The family was so close and it didn't matter at all!

Most importantly, that had nothing to do with her!

As she thought about that, she breathed a sigh of relief.

After knowing the burden in secret, she just couldn't stay blissful. Renee An felt compassionate

towards Annabelle.

She flipped around on the bed but just couldn't fall asleep.

When Ralphy came back to the room, she noticed a strong smell of alcohol. The man hadn't been

drinking during the dinner, just a little bit. But why would she smell such a strong smell now?

She frowned and sat up.

"Have you been drinking?"

When Ralphy saw that Renee An was still awake, he was stunned, "Yeah, why are you still awake?"

"I was waiting for you!"

"Go ahead and sleep first, I'll go take a shower!" After saying that, Ralphy wanted to walk away.

At that time, Renee An grabbed his arm, "It's okay, now that you drank so much, you shouldn't take a

shower. Just do it tomorrow!"

Ralphy looked at Renee An. After a short moment, he nodded and lied on the bed.

"Do you want a glass of water?"

"There's no need, let's rest earlier!"

Renee An looked at him and didn't think much. She nodded and lied back down as well.

She didn't know why but she had insomnia that night. She raised her head and wanted to speak to

Ralphy, but the man had fallen asleep.

She couldn't help but feel dejected…

After a long time, Renee An fell asleep eventually.

It was midnight in this place at that time.

However, at another place, it was right in the middle of the day. It was a different time zone.

There was a tall man that stood in grief in front of the French window. Song Jing was looking into the

distance through the French window. As if he was trying to look for that familiar figure in the crowd…

At that time, Vanessa approached him slowly and she took a look at the magazine on the desk.

The headlines were showing the wedding announcement of a man and a woman.

After she took a glance, Vanessa looked at Song Jing and walked closer to him. The woman stood by

his side and said, "It has been so long but you just couldn't let her go. Every little news on her could

affect your mood!"

Song Jing took a deep breath, "So what? It wouldn't change anything…" The moment he decided to

come back, he knew that he had lost.

But now that he learnt of the news, he couldn't stop his heart from hurting.

The knowledge of losing something precious permanently felt like a knife stabbing on his heart.

He knew that if he were to miss that woman, it would be the regret of his life. However, was there

anything he can do now?

"You still love her the same!" Vanessa said dejectedly.

Song Jing did not deny. Because he couldn't deny his true feelings.

Vanessa contemplated for a long while and she said, "Just go back!"

When Song Jing heard that, he was shocked. He stared at Vanessa in disbelief, "What did you say?"

"I know that if you don't go back now, you would regret it for the rest of your life. I don't want that to

happen to you and I don't want you to blame me for that!" Vanessa said.

"But, you…"

"I will be fine. There is a lot of people taking care of me here!" Vanessa said.

Song Jing was completely shocked. Vanessa had hurt her head severely because of him. Although she

had gotten much better, she would still have episodes of piercing headaches from time to time. But the

woman from the other end of the world was the love of his life…

On one side, responsibility.

The other, love…

He couldn't make the choice.

Finally, he looked at Vanessa and nodded, "I will accompany you here until the last day…"

When Vanessa heard him, she smiled. He made his decision…

But, he didn't choose her!

……

Nancy looked outside the window and smiled bitterly.

When someone is happy, there were bound to be others that get upset.

It had always been like that.

After preparing breakfast early in the morning, Alistair went to the company. Now that the wedding date

was decided, he had a lot of things to get busy about. He must make sure to arrange his works and

staffs beforehand.

When Annabelle was eating breakfast, Dorie called.

After chatting for a bit, Dorie came to her place.

"Annabelle, you are truly full of surprises. You didn't even tell me that you are getting married!" The

moment Dorie saw Annabelle, she complained.

"It just got in the news like that, faster than we could even inform our friends!" Annabelle said

nonchalantly. She ate while she asked Dorie, "Have you eaten?"

"Not yet!"

"Sit down and let's eat together!"

Dorie didn't mind and sat down to eat with Annabelle.

"Why have you decided to marry so suddenly?" While they were eating, Dorie asked.

"Is it sudden?"

"If not?"

"I think it's just about time!" Annabelle said. Now that she made up her mind, she wasn't hesitating

anymore.

At that time, Dorie looked at her stomach and nodded, "Right~ if you don't get married now, your

stomach might get bigger and it wouldn't look nice!"

"Are you able to see it now?"

"No, still slim!" After saying that, Dorie continued to eat.

Annabelle nodded, "Then!"

"The baby grows very fast. Now you will need to change your dress size from time to time. What about

your wedding gown?"

"That…" Annabelle pondered for a while and said, "I think Alistair will arrange it!"

Dorie nodded, "Yeah, you don't even need to worry about that!"

When Annabelle heard Dorie, she looked at her, "Oh? Are you not angry at him anymore?"

"What's the point of me getting angry when you didn't care at all?" Dorie gave her an eye roll. It was all

for her sake, otherwise, why did she even bother?

Annabelle chuckled, "I know that you are worried about me. Thank you, Dorie!"

With Annabelle thanking her so suddenly, Dorie felt uneasy, "Don't start getting cheesy, I can't stand it!"

Annabelle broke into a giggle.

At that time, Dorie ate her breakfast and frowned, "Annabelle, does your pregnancy make your cooking

skills to regress so much?" Dorie showed a disgusted expression.

Annabelle, "…"

If Alistair were to hear that, he might get frustrated to death!

"I wasn't the one that made them!"

"Not you? Then who…" When Dorie was speaking halfway, she looked at her with widened eyes,

"Don't tell me it's Alistair?!"

Annabelle nodded slowly…

Dorie was stunned, "Are you sure?"

"If not?"

Alistair was cooking… That was groundbreaking news!

"If that's the case, I shall put up with it!" Dorie continued to eat.

At that moment, the friend suddenly understood why Annabelle would marry Alistair.

The man was always arrogant and prideful. He could easily get a house helper to do that but he was

willing to trouble himself for Annabelle. Looking at how the man was willing to compromise and

concede in their relationship, she nodded in approval.

When Dorie thought about that, she was restful.

As long as Annabelle was happy, everything goes.

"By the way, how are you and Su?" Annabelle asked suddenly.

When Dorie heard that, she almost choked on her milk, "What do you mean how are we? What

nonsense are you talking about!?"

"Are you pretending or do you really don't understand?"

"I don't understand!"

"Dorie, let me tell you this, although Su had made mistakes in his past, he is a good man and he

deserves a chance. You must make sure to keep a close eye on him. Otherwise if you were to lose him

one day, you might just regret it!" Annabelle looked at her and said.

Dorie looked at her and gave her an eye roll, "Since when are you such a busybody?"

"He should be the one that regrets. Do you think someone as awesome as me wouldn't be able to find

a boyfriend?" Dorie asked.

When Annabelle heard that, she chuckled. She knew that Dorie was all talk and she believed that Dorie

understood her.

"Sure!" Annabelle smiled.

Dorie smiled back and looked at her. All of a sudden, she recalled something and asked, "By the way,

where is your wedding held?"

Annabelle looked at Dorie and shook her head innocently, "I don't know…"

"How about the hotel?" Dorie continued to ask.

"I don't know…"

"What do you know?" Dorie asked.

"The dates!"

Dorie, "… Are you sure this is your wedding?"

Why didn't she know anything at all!?
