My Killing President novel Chapter 637

The moment Annabelle heard her name, she recalled her conversation with Belle and she became quiet.

"Do you think I am a failure? A useless man?" Ralphy asked.

Annabelle raised her gaze and looked at him, "No, because I know you aren't that kind of person!"

"But Belle's incident was real!" Ralphy said. He didn't know why he was telling Annabelle that. Maybe subconsciously he had already known that the two of them were an impossibility.

Annabelle nodded, "I know!"

"You know?" Ralphy looked at Annabelle and he seemed surprised.

"I met her!"

Ralphy was even more shocked. He looked at Annabelle and didn't know what to say.

"Then… Did she tell you anything…?" Ralphy asked. The man was feeling a very complicated feeling, nervous and conflicted, fearful yet hopeful.

He wanted to know how Annabelle would react after finding out everything.

He didn't know that Annabelle had known about his feelings all the time. She was simply pretending not to know.

"Brother, Renee is a good woman. She isn't the same as Belle. I believe that if you would just accept her with an open heart, everything will be different!" Annabelle said. She did not answer him directly.

"She is indeed a good woman. But I don't love her!" How could he be happy if they didn't have love?"

"Brother, love is built on knowing each other. If you are willing to discover and understand Renee, you will discover her goodness. I believe as long as you are willing to be open-minded and willfully understand her, the two of you will be happy!" Annabelle said.

Happy?

Hoho…

Ralphy had one hand on the steering wheel. When he heard that, he smiled bitterly.

"What if I say I won't? I…"

"Bro…"

At that time, Annabelle's phone rang.

When Annabelle saw the number, she was stunned.

Ralphy saw the number as well and he averted his gaze.

Annabelle pondered for a while and said, "Bro, it's getting late now. Let's talk again some other day. I should go home first!"

Ralphy nodded.

Annabelle opened the car door and walked down. After that, she answered her phone while walking.

Ralphy sat in his car and looked at Annabelle's back. After that, he punched his steering wheel furiously.

Alistair, everything was because of you!!!

On the other side.

Annabelle answered her phone and walked into the lift.

"Where are you?" Alistair asked directly.

"I just got in the lobby of our apartment, entering the lift soon!"

"Coby said he didn't pick you up." Alistair said. When he said that, he had a good guess already.

Annabelle didn't hide from him and she answered, "Brother was the one that sent me home."

Although she had a hunch that Alistair knew something, she didn't want to hide anything from him.

Alistair was silent for a while. After that, he said, "I will go back the day after tomorrow!"

"Alistair…"

"Hmm?"

"I love you!"

Right after she walked into the lift, she said that before the lift door closes.

Alistair was tensed. But the moment he heard Annabelle saying that, he relaxed a little.

"I love you too!" He spoke to the phone.

Annabelle chuckled, "I will wait for you at home!"

"Okay!"

"Are you in yet?" Right after he said that, the lift's doors opened.

Annabelle said smilingly, "At the doorstep already!"

"I want to see you, switch to video call!"

"Okay, right away!" After saying that, Annabelle hung up with a smile. She opened the door and walked inside.

After that, she brought out her laptop and a glass of drink. She went to the living room and opened her laptop. In a few short moment, Alistair's gorgeous face appeared on the screen.

Annabelle sat on the carpet. When she saw him, she smiled and greeted him cheerfully, "Hi, Mr. Mu!"

Alistair answered, "You seemed pretty relaxed all by yourself!"

"With you not around, I will just enjoy myself!"

"Did you miss me?"

Annabelle nodded.

Alistair looked at her and smiled.

He stretched out his hand and touched the screen, "What should I do, I want to kiss you so much, I want to touch you…"

Annabelle, "Mr. Mu… How does it feel to molest a computer?"

"Frustrating!"

Annabelle smiled, "How was work?"

"I still need two days, I will go back as soon as possible!"

Annabelle nodded. The two of them made a video call until late in the night before going to bed.

"All right, it's so late already, hurry and get some rest!"

"Yeah!" Annabelle nodded, "You too!"

"Wait for me to come home!"

Annabelle nodded.

After they ended the video call, Annabelle went to brush her teeth and take a shower. After that, she lied in her bed. Although Alistair wasn't by her side, that temporary separation made their feelings stronger.

Annabelle hugged her blanket and she fell asleep soon.

On the other side.

After Ralphy came back and went into his bedroom, he removed his jacket and threw it to a side.

At that time, Renee An came out from the shower room and saw him, "You're back!"

When Ralphy heard Renee An, he raised his gaze to see her and then looked away, "Yeah."

When Renee An saw that the man was quiet, she walked closer to him and asked, "Are you all right, did anything happen?"

When Ralphy heard Renee An, he raised his gaze and looked at her, "Nothing!" After that, he got up, "I just recalled that I still have some work to do. You should rest first!" After saying that, he turned around and left.

"Where are you going?" Renee An asked.

"To the study room, I still have some work left to do!"

"But…" The words that she wanted to say was stuck in her throat. After all, the woman shouldn't be the one to say that out.

Didn't he know? They didn't do it during their wedding night. And now, he wanted to go work…

When Renee An saw Ralphy walking out, she frowned. She couldn't deny that she felt dejected. However, she reminded herself, that she was the one that chose this man and she must be held responsible for her decision.

She lied on the bed and flipped around but she just couldn't fall asleep. Finally, she decided to get up and went out her room.

She brought a glass of milk and went to Ralphy's study room.

After knocking on the door, Renee An opened the door softly and walked inside. Ralphy was sitting there and looking at his computer. The moment he saw Renee An walking inside, he hurriedly closed the picture window in his computer.

After that, he looked at Renee An and asked, "Why are you here?"

"It's late now and I want to bring you a glass of milk!"

"Thank you!"

"It's so late already. You should go get some rest. I will go back to the room after I finish with this!" Ralphy said.

And so, everything that Renee An wanted to say was stuck in her throat. She looked at Ralphy and nodded in disappointment, "All right, don't stay up too late!"

"Okay!"

After that, she lowered the glass of milk on his desk. They didn't even speak more than ten sentences and Renee An exited his room.

After getting back to their room, she lied down on the bed. Although she felt very uncomfortable and dejected, she kept telling herself at Ralphy was a busy and successful businessman. She must support her husband!

As she thought about that, she felt more comfortable. She fell asleep eventually.

When she woke up the next day, she saw traces of the man sleeping next to her. However, she didn't see him. She was stunned for a while and walked out. After that, she saw Ralphy eating breakfast downstairs.

The man sat there, having his breakfast while reading the newspaper. His blue top looked as if it was custom made, elegant and handsome. Just from a simple back view and he could make others want to see more of him.

She didn't know what time he came back last night, nor what time he woke up in the morning.

Renee An stood upstairs and looked at Ralphy's back view. She pouted her lips and turned around to get changed in her room. After that, she went downstairs.

After she was done cleaning herself, she walked downstairs.

"You are up!" When Ralphy heard her, he simply raised an eyebrow to look at her. After that, he lowered his head and continued to read the newspaper in his hand.

"Yeah, why didn't you wake me up when you woke up?"

"I saw that you were sleeping so soundly and I didn't want to interrupt you. Let's eat breakfast!" Ralphy said.

"Where are dad and mum?"

"They went to attend a friend's gathering!"

When Renee An heard that, she nodded. Auntie Li brought her breakfast and she started to eat.

At that time, Ralphy folded the newspaper and stood up, "I am done. I shall go to the company first!"

She just sat down and he wanted to leave?

When she saw Ralphy stood up and walked towards the door, she couldn't hold back anymore and called out to him, "Ralphy!"

When Ralphy heard her, he turned his head back, "What's wrong? Is anything the matter?" The man's gaze and tone did not sound like he was talking to his wife, but to a most ordinary friend.

"You… Do you mind to come home earlier tonight?" Renee An said.

"Is anything the matter?" He asked frowningly.

Renee An was stunned for a moment. After that, she shook her head, "No…"

Ralphy caught on suddenly and he was stunned as well. The man said, "If I am not busy, I will try to come home earlier!"

When Renee An heard that, a smile blossomed on her face, "All right, I'll wait for you!"

Ralphy did not reply and simply walked out the door.

Renee An's mood became good right away and even her breakfast tasted better.

Just a little bit of attention and she would be elated.

She didn't know that Ralphy was simply saying that perfunctorily…

……

Early in the morning, Annabelle received a call.

Dorie was admitted into the hospital. Annabelle didn't say anything and rushed to the hospital.

In the ward.
