My Killing President novel Chapter 655

But why didn't she tell him?

Dorie looked at Alistair and said, "Do you know why didn't Annabelle tell you?"

"Because she was just disappointed in you!" Dorie enunciated. Every word of hers was piercing Alistair's heart.

Alistair froze. The always rational and prudent man was in dismay.

At that time, countless memories flashed in his mind.

Whenever he recalled how she smiled nonchalantly, he could still feel her powerlessness and desperation.

He could even feel her heartbrokenness!

"Was that Nancy really just your life savior?" Dorie asked blatantly. Her tone was mocking.

When Alistair heard that, he raised his gaze and looked at Dorie.

She simply sneered, "Are you curious why would I know? Nancy told Annabelle everything. She was still waiting for your explanation. But you didn't give her anything!"

When Alistair heard that, his eyebrows furrowed closely.

"Alistair, if you really love her, you wouldn't have done something like that in the birthday party. You simply saw that Nancy's hand was burnt, but did you notice that Annabelle's hand was the same? You have already hurt her. No matter how you want to compensate, what done is done. If anything were to happen to her or the baby…" When Dorie talked about that, she shook her head and gave him her final words, "I was wrong about you!"

After saying that, she turned around and left.

Su was watching from the side. As Dorie left, he followed as well.

Ralphy glared furiously at Alistair. After that, he got into his car and drove off.

Alistair was left standing alone in the same place. He felt all alone and everything Dorie said resounded in his ears.

He could identify with what she said.

However, he had his own reasons as well. But whenever he compared his own reasons with Annabelle, all of a sudden everything seemed unimportant.

After standing there for a long while, he came back to his senses. He looked around trying to find that familiar figure.

However, the harsh reality reminded him that Annabelle was gone!

The three group of people had been looking for the entire day and they didn't get anything.

Annabelle did not go back to the Xia family.

Nor her own house.

It was so late already, where could she go?

Her phone was unreachable.

After a long time, Alistair took up his phone and called a number. Soon after, his call was picked up.

Jack was eating when he saw Alistair's phone and he answered it right away, "Sir, anything up?"

"Jack, help me to check all the hotels in A city, see if you can find Annabelle's name!"

Annabelle's name…?

"Sir, did anything happen?" Jack asked.

"Don't ask questions now. Hurry and check them for me!"

Once Jack heard that, he knew something serious must have happened. But he didn't dare to ask questions. The assistant hurriedly answered, "Okay, got it. I'm on it!"

After hanging up the call, Alistair took a deep breath. He sat in his car and massaged his temple.

Annabelle, where are you!?

So long had passed and it should be about time you come back to us!

However, they still didn't get any news on Annabelle.

At that time, his phone rang. When Alistair picked up his phone, he saw that it was from his father. The man answered the call.

"Hello, dad..."

"Okay, got it. I am on my way back!"

After hanging up the call, Alistair continued to sit in his car for a while. After that, he started his car and drove back.

In the Mu House.

When Alistair went back, his family gathered and they were eating. Nancy was around as well and the atmosphere was cheery.

"Nancy, it's your birthday today, eat more!"

"Okay, sure!"

"You youngsters had been going at it in the daytime. And now we can finally accompany you for a meal!"

"This is more than enough, I am happy!" Nancy said smilingly.

"By the way, Nancy, this is a present for you!" The grandmother said.

When Nancy saw the present, she laughed happily, "Thank you, grandma!"

"You are welcome! Come, hurry and eat!"

"Okay!"

Once Alistair entered his house, that was all he saw.

Nancy turned her head and saw Alistair. After that, she called out to him right away, "Alistair, you're back!"

She was smiling innocently and guilelessly.

When the man saw how happy she smiled, he couldn't help but recalled what Dorie said, that Nancy had told Annabelle about their relationship much earlier. Therefore, Annabelle had been troubled all these while however, what was the reason Nancy didn't tell him?

At that time, the grandmother looked at him and asked smilingly, "Alistair, you're back! Hmm, where is Annabelle?"

The moment she mentioned Annabelle, his expression turned grim.

Nancy looked around Alistair and didn't see Annabelle. Did they quarrel?

"You guys enjoy your meal, I don't have much of an appetite!" Alistair refused and turned around to get upstairs.

Nancy stood up and asked, "How was it? You guys still didn't manage to find sister Annabelle?"

The moment she mentioned Annabelle, Alistair stared at Nancy. He was examining and observing her carefully. It was unfathomable for him that Nancy was such a sly person.

If she didn't do it on purpose, why didn't she tell him anything after confronting Annabelle.

But if she were to do it on purpose…

He just couldn't imagine it.

"No." He said grimly. When the grandmother heard their conversation, she asked, "Annabelle? What happened to Annabelle?"

Alistair stood there and glanced at his grandmother. He didn't know how to tell his family that Annabelle was missing.

He wasn't afraid to get scolded but he was afraid that his grandmother might worry too much.

Nancy was silent as well and she didn't know what to say. She looked at Alistair and said thoughtfully, "I believe sister Annabelle will definitely be okay!"

Alistair looked at her with a deep gaze. But he didn't say anything.

At that time, Alistair's phone rang. When he saw that it was from Jack, he answered it right away.

"Hey, how was it?"

"President Mu, I checked every hotel in A city, from 1 star to 6 stars and I didn't manage to find Miss Xia's name!"

When Alistair heard that, his heart sank. He was silent for a moment and didn't know what to say.

"I have already sent someone to look for her. I will inform you if I get any update!"

"Okay!" Alistair answered. Right after he wanted to hang up the phone, he recalled something all of a sudden and said, "By the way, check all the hospitals, airports and piers. Inform me right away if you get anything!"

Jack wanted to ask more questions. However, he could tell that Alistair was in a very bad mood and he decided to keep it to himself, "Okay, got it. I will do that right away!"

After hanging up the call, Alistair's expression was completely grim.

When his family from the dining table heard his conversation, they were stunned, "Alistair, what happened? Why are you investigating the hospitals and airports?"

Alistair didn't answer.

The grandmother frowned and asked, "Did anything happened to Annabelle?"

The moment she mentioned that, the atmosphere was tensed.

Nancy stood there and didn't say anything. However, she could feel from Alistair's gaze that he was blaming her. Although he said nothing.

The quieter Alistair was, the more worried the grandmother got. She walked over and looked at him, "What happened? What is wrong with Annabelle?"

When Alistair saw how worried his grandmother was, he pondered for a while and said, "Grandma…"

"Annabelle is pregnant!" Before he said anything, there was another person that interrupted him.

The family turned their head back and saw Dorie walking inside.

When she saw that the family was eating together, she was boiling in rage. Now that Annabelle was missing, how dare they gather around here to eat.

Dorie looked at the strangers and introduced herself, "I am Annabelle's best friend!"

The moment she said that, the grandmother dropped all her guards. She walked towards Dorie quickly and asked, "What did you say? Annabelle is pregnant?" The grandmother was in elation.

That news was the most anticipated and pleasant surprise for the grandmother.

Nancy was shocked. She raised her head and looked at Alistair in disbelief. She was overwhelmed by the news.

When Dorie looked at the grandmother, she nodded, "Yes, she is pregnant. However, the gestation isn't too stable and most importantly, she is missing right this moment!"

Just moments ago, the family was in elation. After they heard what Dorie said, they were anxious, "Missing? What do you mean by missing?"

At that time, Dorie looked over to Alistair, "I'm afraid we need to ask president Mu that question!"

The moment she said that, all the responsibilities fell on Alistair.

The grandmother was stunned and she turned her head over to look at Alistair, "Alistair, what, what did she mean?"

"Is what she said true?"

When the grandmother saw that he wasn't speaking, she frowned and asked, "Why aren't you speaking? Let me ask you again, where is Annabelle? When Alistair saw how worried his grandmother was, he couldn't deny and he nodded.

"You…!" The grandmother was just furious.

"You brat, did you make Annabelle angry? Why are you angering her when she is pregnant? You stupid kid…" The grandmother was so angry that she struck Alistair twice. However, the man was her beloved grandkid and she didn't hit hard. She simply wanted to teach him a lesson.

Zen and his wife exchanged a look and they were still in shock, thinking if they have heard them mistakenly. At that time, the mother walked over and held the grandmother, "Mum, the most important thing right now is for us is to look for Annabelle!"
