My Killing President

Chapter 687 Wedding

If what Nancy said was true, why did her brother do that?

Was that because of… her?

Annabelle didn't dare to continue with the thought of hers. That news had shaken her completely.

She sat there for a long time until Alistair came back. And she came back to her senses suddenly.

"What's the matter? Why are you zoning out here?" Alistair looked at her and asked.

Annabelle looked at him and the things Nancy told her was resounding in her mind. The man knew but

he didn't take any action. He didn't even tell her anything.

Annabelle didn't know how she should react or say towards Alistair's remarkable forbearance.

She stared in his eyes speechlessly.

When Alistair saw that Annabelle was quiet, he frowned and asked, "What's the matter? Do you feel

uncomfortable anywhere?"

When Annabelle heard him, she came back to her senses and shook her head, "I'm fine!"

"Then why are you acting so weird? You missed me too much?" Alistair chuckled naughtily. He moved

closer and kissed Annabelle's lips.

Annabelle didn't move away and simply smiled back at him, "Why are you coming back so late?"

"I had an important meeting earlier so I left work late!"

All of a sudden, Annabelle recalled what happened and she said, "Nancy left!"

"Where did she go?"

"Back to Malaysia!" After saying that, she looked at the time on her phone, "Her plane should take off

already!"

Alistair hadn't expected that to happen.

"When was that?"

"In the afternoon. I made several calls to you but your secretary said you were in a meeting!" Annabelle

said.

Alistair was silent for a while. He hadn't expected Nancy to leave without saying a word.

"I didn't know when her flight is and she didn't tell me. However, when we were talking on the phone

earlier, she was about to board. Do you want to give her a call and check if she was on that plane?"

Annabelle asked.

After hearing that, Alistair raised his gaze and looked at her, "There's no need. Since that was her will,

let's just respect her!"

"Are you really not going? I could tell that although she was saying that, she wanted to meet you one

last time!" Annabelle said.

"Nothing will change if I go over. What is the point?"

Annabelle nodded.

At that time, Alistair stretched out his hand and pinched her chin, "Annabelle, why do I feel that you are

pushing me away? Do you trust me that much?" He moved closer and stared in Annabelle's eyes.

Annabelle simply smiled jovially, "Why? Isn't it good to feel trusted?"

"But I prefer to see you getting jealous!" Alistair squinted his eyes and whispered softly.

Annabelle chuckled, "Although I am pregnant now, I am not sensitive like other women!"

When Alistair heard her, he pulled her in by the waist, "Miss Xia, do you want to give it a try?" He

moved closer and gave her a long, passionate kiss.

"How do you feel? Does your wound still hurt?"

Annabelle shook her head, "I don't feel anything now!"

The woman felt warm in her heart whenever Alistair cared for her like that.

"That's great. The wedding is drawing close and I will get the designer to add a shoulder wrap for you.

Then you wouldn't need to show the scar!" Alistair said.

Annabelle was surprised that he was so thoughtful. However, she proceeded to make fun of the man,

"If I really end up with the scar, would you mind?"

"I won't!" Alistair answered without a second of hesitation.

"Why?"

Alistair held her hand, "I told you before. I love you not because of your appearance but because of

your inner beauty and character!"

"The appearance isn't a factor at all?" Annabelle raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile.

"Your appearance was what attracted me at first sight. But if you have a wicked heart, how long do you

think we could stay together?" Alistair asked.

He looked at her wound, "Moreover, you suffered this wound because of me. If there was a scar, I

would be reminded to love you and appreciate you more!" His words were enchanting and dreamy.

Annabelle was just lost in his genuine love and affection.

"Mr. Mu, did you eat a lot of sweet stuffs today?" Annabelle stared at him and asked.

"Huh? Why?"

"Why are you talking so sweetly?"

"Do you like it?"

"I do!" After saying that, Annabelle moved closer and kissed his lips, "Alistair, I love you…" She said

seriously.

The lights were on in the room but Annabelle's eyes were even brighter.

Annabelle rarely used the word love and Alistair appreciated that very much.

"I love you too!" He said.

Annabelle stared at him intently. Her passionate gaze moved Alistair.

"Annabelle, if you keep looking at me like that, I can't guarantee what I will do to you!" He said.

Annabelle didn't say anything and continued to stare at him intently.

The next second, Alistair brought his feelings to action. He grabbed the back of her head and kissed

her.

Annabelle did not fight back and let him did as he pleased.

She was even trying hard to reciprocate his feelings.

As they were making love more and more intensely, Alistair was worried that he might touch her wound

and he stopped.

He looked at her and asked, "What's gotten into you today?"

Annabelle looked at him and she was breathing heavily, "What do you mean?"

"You are a little… passionate today!"

"You don't like it?"

"I like it. But it is just so sudden!"

Annabelle leaned on him suddenly and hugged his waist tightly, "Alistair, we will always stay together,

right?"

"Of course!"

"That's great!" After saying that, Annabelle shut her eyes and hugged him tightly.

Alistair looked at her and didn't know what to say. However, he had a hunch that Annabelle was

thinking about something.

He lied on the bed and didn't move, and Annabelle hugged him to sleep. The soft breathings of the two

persons were the only sound in the room…

In the middle of the night, Alistair received a text.

It was from Nancy.

Alistair was a light sleeper. When he heard the beep, he took up his phone to check.

It was a short text message that carried her sincerest feelings.

"Alistair, I'm home now. I wasn't doing that childishly but I just couldn't tell you personally. I believe

there will be a day when I appear before you again. And by that time, I believe I wouldn't feel the same

towards you like right now. Sister Annabelle is a good woman. I hope you will appreciate her! Wish the

two of you all the best!"

It was simply a short paragraph but it carried Nancy's genuine blessings.

Alistair simply read it and didn't reply. After thinking for some time, he deleted the text and put his

phone back on the desk. He hugged the woman next to him tightly and went back to sleep.

……

Zen looked at the person in front of him. Although he dreaded to face him, he knew it was inevitable.

There was a deck of pictures on the desk about the young Dawson Xiao and Zen.

Dawson Xiao's stomach was bulging already and it was most probably when she was 7 months

pregnant.

Zen didn't know how Kaleb Hua got ahold of those pictures. But one thing he was sure, that Kaleb Hua

had investigated him. Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

"Mr. Kaleb, what do you mean by this?"

"Mr. Mu, I believe you know. Where is Dawson Xiao?"

Zen glanced over at the pictures on the desk, "Mr. Kaleb, have you been investigating me?"

"I was simply looking for Dawson Xiao!" Kaleb Hua said.

Zen was silent, "Actually you have known about it long ago. Why are you asking me now?" Zen asked.

He knew that Kaleb Hua had known about these a long time ago but he simply waited until now to

confront him.

"I have my own reason. Now I just want to know where Dawson Xiao is!" Kaleb Hua asked anxiously.

"What is your relationship with her?" Zen asked.

Dawson Xiao had never told him anything about her relationship with Kaleb Hua. Zen had been

speculating all these while and the woman simply gave him a simple instruction through phone call:

protect Annabelle.

"That was between me and her!"

"But I promised her that I wouldn't tell you!"

When Kaleb Hua heard that, his expression changed, "Did she tell you that?"

Zen nodded, "Yes!"

Kaleb Hua had a pained expression. After a long while, he said, "What else did she say?"

"She said she will never forgive you!"

Kaleb Hua's expression turned even worse.

"Did she really say that?"

Zen did not deny and simply looked at him indifferently.

Although Kaleb Hua had expected that answer, now that he heard it personally, he felt a deep sorrow.

He was even feeling a pulsing pain in his heart.

The man moved his hand and grabbed his chest…

Hua watched from aside and he stepped forward worriedly, "Brother Kaleb!"

Kaleb Hua raised his hand and stopped him, "I am fine!"

At that time, Kaleb Hua was trying his best to hold back his emotion. He looked at Zen and asked,

"How is she now?"

Zen was silent. He didn't know how he should answer that.

Kaleb Hua frowned, "I simply want to know if she is doing okay!"

When Zen saw that he was so worried, he contemplated for a while and said, "I don't know. She

disappeared more than twenty years ago!"

"Disappeared?"

Zen nodded, "I didn't have any news about her at all. I had been searching for her all these years but I

was unfruitful. I thought you were the one that brought her away!" Zen said. He thought about it but

now he knew that he guessed wrongly.

Kaleb Hua had a grim expression. He believed Zen's words.

The man had no need to deceive him.

However, now that the last person that was related to Dawson Xiao didn't know anything about her…

How should he continued to search?

Dawson Xiao…

The moment he recalled that name, he felt a heart wrenching pain.

"Although I don't know what happened between the two of you, nor your relationship, but I could tell

that she didn't want to see you. Maybe she disappeared all these while because she didn't want to see

you. If that's the case, why do you stubbornly search for her?" Zen said.

Although he appeared to love Dawson Xiao very much, it was obvious that the woman was determined

to leave him. Otherwise, she wouldn't make up her mind to leave her daughter in the Xia family and

disappear all by herself.

After hearing what Zen said, Kaleb Hua sat there and was lost in thought.

He knew that she hated her. But he didn't expect her to hate him that much.

She was even willing to disappear to hide from him!

Kaleb Hua had no intention to hurt her. He simply wanted to compensate her and love her again. If she

didn't want him, he wouldn't force her against her will. However, why would things turn out like that?

The man didn't even realize that Zen left. He sat quietly for a long while.

After sometime, Hua walked forward and called him, "Brother Kaleb, are you all right?"

When Kaleb Hua heard Hua, he stood up and walked out lifelessly. However, his hand was grabbing

his chest…

Hua watched from the back and his eyebrows furrowed deeply in worry…

The days passed just like that. Ever since that day, life went back to a peaceful pace.

Annabelle's wound was recovering quickly and it did not leave an eye catchy scar. It was simply a small

light mark. It wasn't even visible if one didn't examine it carefully.

According to the doctor, it will continue to lighten in color and it will not leave a scar.

Annabelle was unbothered by that. According to what Alistair said, the existence of the scar would

remind him to love her more and she was happy either way.

As the wedding ceremony drew closer, the seemingly relaxed Annabelle began to feel excited and

nervous.

Although it wasn't her first marriage, it was her first time wearing a wedding gown. In a sense, it was

her first meaningful marriage.

The night before the wedding, Annabelle was in the Xia family, having dinner with them.

It was lively and merry in the Xia household.

Renee An looked at her and asked, "Annabelle, are you really all right? Is your wound healed?"

"It is completely fine already!"

"I wasn't around when you got into trouble. Therefore I couldn't go visit you. Please don't be angry at

me!"

Annabelle chuckled, "I won't! Didn't you visit me after that?"

"But I wasn't by your side when you needed me most. I feel so guilty about that!" Renee An said.

Annabelle smiled. Renee An was truly adorable at times. She just couldn't help but like her.

She raised her gaze to look at Ralphy, hoping he could appreciate this wife of his.

"Wouldn't you show your scar when you wear your wedding gown?"

"Maybe a little bit but it wasn't visible. Alistair got someone to add a shoulder tippet. We will be using

that!"

"Wow, a shoulder tippet! Brother Alistair is just so thoughtful!" Renee An said enviously.

Annabelle smiled happily.

Teneria, Waynie and Renee An were chatting happily with Annabelle. But Ralphy was simply eating

quietly and not joining in the cheerful atmosphere.

At that time, Renee An looked at him and asked, "Ralphy, are you all right? Annabelle will be getting

married the day after tomorrow. Don't you have anything you want to say?" Renee An looked at him

fixatedly.

When Ralphy heard her, he raised his head and pondered for a while. After that, he said, "Take care of

yourself properly, don't make your family worry!"

Annabelle nodded.

Renee An, "… Just like that? No more?"

Ralphy nodded.

Renee An was a little dispirited and she turned her head over to look at Annabelle, "Annabelle, you

know your brother well. He just isn't an expressive person, please don't mind him!"

"I won't!" Annabelle laughed.

"Actually, your brother and I had prepared a wedding gift for you!" As Renee An said that, she took out

a box from behind.

"This is our gift of blessing!"

When Annabelle heard that, she was stunned and she hurriedly said, "You don't have to do that!"

"Just take it. Otherwise your brother and I wouldn't be restful!"

"Then… All right! Thank you, bro and sis!" Annabelle smiled gently. She didn't open the gift right away

but simply put it aside.

"Okay now, we know that you guys are close. Let's hurry and eat first, the dishes are getting cold!"

Waynie said smilingly.

Annabelle smiled and ate together with the family.

Ralphy sat opposite her and kept his silence. Annabelle glanced at him from time to time and she kept

recalling what Nancy told her…

The woman was dubious and she hoped that Nancy was deceiving her. However, she had a hunch that

it was true.

Annabelle's eyes dimmed and she continued to eat.

She told herself that she would give him another chance and make sure it wouldn't happen again.

After the dinner, Ralphy was chilling by the balcony. When Annabelle saw him, she walked out and

joined him.

"Bro!" She called out.

When Ralphy heard her voice, he turned his head back and showed a rare smile.

"What were you thinking?" Annabelle asked.

"It's nothing, work matters!" Ralphy said disinterestedly.

Ever since Annabelle chatted with him in his company that time, the two of them hadn't been talking.

"How was work lately?" Annabelle asked probingly.

Ralphy sipped on his red wine and nodded, "Pretty good!"

"Don't tire yourself too much. Make sure to relax from time to time!"

"I will!"

"After the wedding, let me go back to the company and help you out!" Annabelle said.

When Ralphy heard that, he was stunned. He knew that his sister was always uninterested to go back

to the company. Now that she mentioned that all of a sudden, it made him suspicious.

"Why the sudden change of mind?" Ralphy asked with a smile.

"Dad gave me twenty percent of the company shares. I can't just be a freeloader, right?" Annabelle

chuckled.

Ralphy was stunned and he nodded with a smile, "It is the best if you are willing to come back to help

us out!"

Annabelle smiled, "Yeah, but we would have to wait after I am done giving birth!"

With Ralphy heard that, he turned around and looked at her stomach. Although it wasn't obvious, he

could see that Annabelle had gained an air of feminine gentleness. She was definitely pregnant.

He smiled, "The Xia Group will always welcome you!"

Annabelle nodded, "I believe the baby will definitely like to play with his uncle!"

Uncle…

Sigh…

However, the man smiled gently, "Okay, I will definitely take good care of him!"

After chatting for a while, Annabelle's driver came to pick her up.

Annabelle had spoken and given her hints. She hoped that Ralphy could understand her.

There was one more day until her wedding.

Fortunately, Annabelle's stomach was still completely flat. She was able to wear the wedding gown

perfectly.

That day, everyone gathered in the Mu House.

And that included Dorie and Covi.

The both of them were the designated bridesmaid and they came to try their gown.

When the two bridesmaids were trying out the dresses, the three friends of Alistair came to visit.

When Jerry Kuang saw the two women, he whistled flirtatiously, "What a beautiful sight we have over

here!"

Dorie and Covi was wearing the bridesmaid dresses and having a discussion when they saw the three

men.

The three of them were around the same height and built. The only difference was that they were

wearing different colors and their features were different. However, they each carried a similar air of

nobility.

They were also a beautiful sight!

"Which one of you three is the best man?" Dorie looked at them and asked.

Jerry Kuang raised an eyebrow, "Can't all of us be?"

"We only have two bridesmaids, how can we have three best men?" Dorie asked back. She had spent

a long time with Annabelle and Alistair and she wasn't a stranger to the three men. She was even

comfortable in making fun of them.

"Then let's leave it to the two beautiful bridesmaid to choose their partners!" Jerry Kuang said cheekily.

"Then I'm afraid you would be disqualified!" The person that said that it was none other than Alistair.

"Why?" Jerry Kuang asked back immediately.

"Intuition!"

"Mr. Mu, do not come and mislead our two beautiful ladies with your gut feeling!"

The moment he said that, everyone broke into a laughter.

At that time, Dorie recalled something and looked at him, "Young master Kuang, I have a question for

you!"

"What is it?"

"The person I saw in the hotel that day, was it you?"

The air froze in the room and everyone was silent.

Sean, Thomas Mo, Covi and even Annabelle and Alistair looked at the man together.

Jerry Kuang was stunned. As he came back to his senses, he asked, "Which day are you referring to?"

"Hmm… About three days ago. I saw you with another woman. Who was that?" The busybody Dorie

asked. She knew that Jerry Kuang was a nice guy but he had just too many scandals.

Jerry Kuang pondered for a while. When he recalled what happened, he was stunned. It was

unexpected to have anyone saw him.

It was a moment of silence.

However, his reluctance of speaking meant nothing to his friends. They wouldn't let it slide so easily.

"President Kuang, now that you are caught red-handed. What are your excuse?" Annabelle looked at

Jerry Kuang and giggled.

Jerry Kuang, "… I think you have mistaken. I wasn't in the hotel three days ago, I was at home!"

"That is impossible. I've seen it clearly, it was you!" Dorie was assured. And the Jerry Kuang was

cornered.
