My Killing President novel Chapter 651

"Actually, today I…" Dorie was stammering.

Annabelle knew that she wouldn't have acted that way if nothing happened.

"You what?"

"I saw Alistair with another woman and they looked intimate with each other…" Dorie said. As she was finishing her sentence, her voice turned softer and softer.

Annabelle was stunned for a while. After that, she simply showed no care.

When Dorie saw that Annabelle didn't have much of a reaction, she was worried, "I wanted to go after them. But after I got down the car, I didn't see them anymore. I think there is a possibility that I might be mistaken!" Although she said that, Dorie knew that she didn't make a mistake.

She simply didn't want Annabelle to get too angry.

To Dorie's greatest surprise, Annabelle simply smiled indifferently after listening to her, "That was it?"

Dorie's eyes were wide open, "You, aren't you angry?"

"That was Alistair's life savior!"

"That was the person that saved him when the plane got into trouble?" Dorie asked.

Annabelle nodded.

It seemed that Annabelle had long known about it.

"Even if she was her life savior, they don't need to be so intimate! She was even holding his arm when they were walking!" Dorie fumed. Since Annabelle had known about that, she decided to speak blatantly.

But when Annabelle heard that, she was stunned.

Dorie looked at her and asked, "Annabelle, is there any problem between you and Alistair?"

"What do you mean, problem?"

"Annabelle, you should know what I am trying to say!" Dorie said anxiously. When she saw Annabelle's indifferent attitude, she was angry for her sake.

Annabelle simply spoke nonchalantly, "Not at all, you are overthinking!"

"Really?" Dorie asked back, "I cannot find a justifiable reason for the life savior to hold his arm while walking. Annabelle, you aren't like this in the past!" Dorie said anxiously.

At that time, Annabelle simply caressed her stomach gently. Dorie saw that but she didn't put much thought to it. She continued to look at Annabelle.

"I didn't change. But special occasion calls for special actions!"

"Why is this a special occasion? What makes it so special?" Dorie asked.

Annabelle smiled and didn't answer. She simply stood up and walked towards the kitchen, "Do you want to drink anything?"

"You still have the mood to drink? I am just erupting in anger!"

"There was nothing between them. There was nothing to be angry about." Annabelle said.

"And you will just regret it when something happens!"

Annabelle simply smiled. She brought a glass of milk and soft drink, "Why are you so sure that I will be the one regretting?" Annabelle asked back.

"I…" Dorie looked at Annabelle and didn't know what to say. She knew that Annabelle was a confident woman. But that situation was simply different.

Annabelle looked at Dorie and said, "Okay, I know that you are worried about me. But if Alistair is really someone like that, you should be happy for me. You should be happy that I didn't marry him!"

Alright, Annabelle was always so optimistic.

Dorie took over the soft drink and took a sip, "Sigh, you are always so chilled. I am just envious!"

Annabelle smiled and she couldn't help but put her palm on her stomach again.

"By the way, where did that woman come from?"

"Malaysia."

"She came all the way here for Alistair?"

Annabelle nodded.

"Where is she staying?"

"The Mu House."

Dorie, "......"

She almost spat out her drink.

"What, what did you say?????" Dorie's voice raised several decibels. She looked at Annabelle in disbelief, "Are you telling me that she is currently staying in Alistair's house?"

Annabelle nodded.

"Annabelle, tell me that it isn't real!"

However, Annabelle simply nodded undisturbedly.

Dorie's jaw dropped, "Annabelle, did you hit your head? How could you agree to that?"

"You are just inviting the wolves to your own house! Are you conniving Alistair to cheat on you?!" Dorie looked at Annabelle and yelled furiously. Her reaction was so intense as if it was her boyfriend that cheated on her.

Annabelle simply looked at her and said calmly, "That isn't my home. How can I disagree to that?"

"You… You…" When Dorie looked at Annabelle, she was just boiling in anger and didn't know what to say, "Annabelle, you are really trying to give me a heart attack. Where is that fearless and unapologetic Annabelle I knew?!" Dorie yelled furiously.

When Annabelle heard that, she went silent.

Undeniably, everyone changes. And that included Annabelle.

She knew that Alistair had hidden something from her but she didn't say anything. She was even waiting for Alistair to tell her himself.

And now, it wasn't just for Alistair, but also for… She looked down to her stomach.

She mustn't get angry, nor emotional.

Annabelle looked at her, "All right, don't get angry. Even I wasn't angry, so what are you getting angry for?"

"I am just pissed with your bad judgment!"

Annabelle didn't say anything. It wasn't a bad judgment but she just couldn't describe it.

Dorie was able to tell that she had her own concerns. She looked at her and asked, "Is there any problem?"

Annabelle didn't say anything.

Dorie was just anxious, "Annabelle, do you still think of me as a friend? If you still do, then tell me!"

When Annabelle looked at Dorie's expression, she decided to tell her.

……

"Therefore, she wasn't just a life savior?" Dorie asked.

Annabelle nodded.

"Then all the more reason not to tolerate with that. What if they have some kind of secret relationship? Why didn't you ask Alistair directly?"

"He simply told me to trust him!"

When Dorie heard that, she sneered, "Men are all like that. They would coax you to believe them. But look at what he did, does that deserve trust?"

Annabelle frowned. She couldn't describe her feeling towards Alistair. When she asked herself whether she believed him or not, she got the same answer over and over again, that she believed him. And even as Annabelle looked at what he did, she just couldn't describe what she was feeling.

Annabelle chuckled, "I will know it sooner or later!"

"I am simply afraid that it will be too late then!" Dorie said.

Annabelle looked at her and said calmly, "That simply proved that he doesn't belong to me. Why should I force it?"

"Annabelle, why do I feel that you are acting weird?" Dorie looked at her and asked.

"Like how?"

"I don't know, I just can't describe it!"

"You are overthinking!"

"Sigh, I am just worried for you. Now that I see that you are completely unbothered, I finally understood the old saying, "The general isn't worried but the soldiers are!"

When Annabelle heard that, she broke into a giggle.

"All right, let's not overthink. Why not you have dinner here? What you want to eat, I'll cook for you!"

"Really?"

"As long as you could bear leaving your Su alone!"

The moment she mentioned Su, Dorie blushed. Especially when Annabelle said ‘your Su', and Dorie blushed right away.

"I don't know what you are talking about!" After that, she raised her head and drank her drink.

At that time, she noticed a half glass of milk on the desk. Dorie's eyebrows knitted together.

Since when did Annabelle started drinking milk?

In her memory, Annabelle only drinks water and red wine…

Drinking milk… How odd…

Especially drinking during such an hour. It was just perturbing.

At that time, Annabelle went into the kitchen and she accidentally tripped. The first thing she did was covering her stomach instinctively. That might appear to be a simple gesture. But Dorie had observed that several times already, Annabelle touching her own stomach…

Could it be…

Dorie stared at Annabelle intently, "Annabelle, you…"

When Annabelle heard Dorie, she turned her head over and looked at her, "What's wrong?"

Dorie walked towards her and examined her closely. She was wearing loose clothes and didn't any make-up on. Not only that, she seemed to be moving carefully.

"You, do you have it?" Dorie looked at her and asked.

Annabelle's gesture of cooking paused and she looked at Dorie, "How did you know?"

Dorie almost fainted after listening to her reply. She had gotten quite a good amount of shock today.

"You really have it?"

Annabelle didn't deny and nodded.

"Why didn't you tell me?!"

Annabelle, "… I still didn't know how to say it!"

Now Dorie finally understood why Annabelle said that special situation calls for special actions!

It is a taboo for pregnant woman to be emotional!

"Then why are you still cooking! The first trimester is the most important period. You you you, hurry and get out! I'll cook!" Dorie said as she carefully assisted Annabelle out, as if she was escorting the Queen of England.

When Annabelle saw her overreaction, she laughed, "I am really fine. But how did you find out?"

"You were drinking milk and wearing loose clothes. Not only that, I kept seeing you touching your stomach. It just isn't like you and I felt that something was wrong!"

Annabelle, "……"

A woman is definitely more sensitive. Dorie could make an accurate guess by being observant.

"How was it, have you done your checkup?" Dorie asked worriedly.

Annabelle nodded, "Yeah, I went!"

"What did the doctor say?"

"He said there were some hormonal imbalances. I got admitted into the hospital few days ago because of it." Annabelle said.

Dorie was even more shocked, "Then what are you doing here, alone at home? Don't you know that it is dangerous!? You should be lying in bed now. Don't do anything!" Dorie instructed.

"But I am not doing anything right now. I didn't even go to the company!" Annabelle chuckled.

"Come, come lie over here!" Dorie carefully brought Annabelle to the couch and helped her to lie down comfortably.

"I am really fine!"

After handling Annabelle, Dorie erupted in anger again, "Now that you are pregnant, Alistair ditched you at home and fooled around outside. What an asshole! I was mistaken about him!" Dorie put both hands on her waist and continued to complain about Alistair.

When Annabelle saw how furious Dorie was, she contemplated for a while and said, "He still didn't know…"

"What?"

"I found out about it few days ago. And I still haven't told him!"

Dorie looked at Annabelle for a long while. After that, she said, "You haven't told him or you didn't want to?"

Annabelle, "……"

"Annabelle, to be honest with me. Are the two of you really all right?" Dorie asked. She knew that a third person could always put a relationship to test.

Dorie could vividly remember how worried Annabelle was during the few days that Alistair went missing. And now, when she saw how Alistair left Annabelle alone at home and spent time with another woman, she was overcome with rage. She was also upset that the world was so unfair.

Annabelle shook her head, "Don't worry, we are really fine!"

Since Annabelle was so assured, Dorie knew it wasn't appropriate to say too much, "All right then, but you must tell me if anything happens. After all, I am the child's godmother!" After saying that, she caressed Annabelle's stomach.
