My Killing President novel Chapter 664

"I am simply curious!" Alistair said nonchalantly but he was examining his father's expression. He could observe a hint of shock in Zen's face. Therefore, Alistair was sure that his father knew that person.

He must have known something but he didn't tell him.

"Where did you hear that name?"

"Kaleb Hua told me!"

The moment Zen heard Kaleb Hua's name, his face turned pale.

It was beyond his expectation that Alistair would get entangled to this matter. His eyebrows knitted closely and he was in deep thought.

"Dad, are you hiding something from me?"

Zen knew that he wouldn't be able to hide things from his son. Alistair was a meticulous person and he could catch on with the slightest clue. Zen raised his gaze and looked at him, "Alistair, you should drop this and don't ask anymore. When it is time for you to know more, you will naturally know about it!" It was obvious that the father couldn't tell him at this moment.

Alistair frowned, "Dad, we can solve this together!"

Zen smiled, "Don't worry, even if anything were to happen, it is not related to me at all, you don't have to worry!" Alistair stared at Zen for a long time before he nodded, "All right then, remember to tell me if anything happens!"

Zen nodded. He looked outside the window and said, "It's getting late now, shouldn't the two of you go back now?"

Alistair looked outside the window and it was already dark. He averted his gaze and said, "Let me go downstairs and check!"

"Yeah, drive safe!"

"Got it!"

After walking out, Alistair stood in front of the door. He was assured that his father was hiding things from him.

Not only that, it was related to this Dawson Xiao…

Dawson Xiao…

Alistair stood on the spot and his gaze was deep like the bottom of the sea. He seemed to have made up his mind and walked away.

When he got down, the grandmother and Madam Mu was still talking to Annabelle. Annabelle sat between the two women and blinked her eyes while listened attentively. She was trying her best to remember everything they said. When Alistair looked at her innocent face, a smile blossomed on his gorgeous and perfect face, "Grandma, shouldn't you be resting at this hour?"

The moment Alistair asked that, he interrupted their conversation.

Annabelle checked the time and nodded, "Exactly, grandma, you should be resting now!"

"But I am not feeling sleepy at all!" The grandmother was still in the mood to continue.

"Grandma, your health is more important. You still have plenty of chance to chit chat. You don't have to rush things!" Alistair walked behind the couch and put his arms across Annabelle's shoulders. The man was holding Annabelle like a cage.

"Stop bothering us!"

Madam Mu nodded as well, "That's right, mother, it's too late now and you should really go rest for now. Annabelle will drop by frequently and you have more than enough time to talk to her!"

The grandmother, "…"

With the three of them ganging up on her, the grandma stood no chance.

Finally, she sighed helplessly, "All right then!" After that, she looked at Annabelle and said, "Annabelle, you must remember to visit this old woman more often!"

Annabelle nodded, "Okay, I understand. Don't worry, I will be sure to visit you as often as possible!"

The grandmother was contended when she heard that. She looked at them and said, "Be careful on your way back!"

"Got it, grandma. Good night!" Alistair said smilingly.

The grandmother gave him an eye roll and she went upstairs happily. There was nothing that brings her as much joy as seeing her family being happy.

Madam Mu held the grandmother's arm and brought her upstairs. Before Alistair and Annabelle left, she reminded them, "Drive safe!"

"Got it, mum. Good night!"

After Alistair and Annabelle saw them walking upstairs, they left the house.

When they got in the car, Annabelle felt a wonder with the change of life in time.

Few days ago, she was still in conflict with Alistair and they weren't talking to each other. But now, the storm had passed.

When Alistair saw that Annabelle was quiet, he looked at her and asked, "What were you thinking?"

"I was simply thinking, how great it would be if life could be simple like this forever!" Annabelle said smilingly.

Alistair understood what she was trying to say. He stretched out his hand and held hers, "Annabelle, I promise you. Just give me a little bit more time and I promise life will become simple and wonderful!"

Annabelle simply smiled, "Nobody can get anything in life. I don't demand life to be easy-going, I simply wish that we could have a simple and honest relationship!"

"We most certainly will!" Alistair said as he held Annabelle's hand firmly. It was as if he was giving an oath.

Annabelle looked at him and broke into a chuckle.

Alistair was driving fast and they reached home in no time.

Right after they got into the house, Annabelle said, "I shall go and shower first!"

"Okay!" Alistair answered nonchalantly. When he saw Annabelle walking into the bathroom, he blurted out, "Do you need my help?"

Annabelle blushed and turned back to look at him, "I shouldn't trouble you with that. I can manage on my own!"

Alistair stood up and walked towards her. He hugged her and said, "I have promised to take good care of you. Showering you should be within my job scope…"

Annabelle, "… I can relieve you of this particular responsibility!"

"Since I've promised you, I must make sure to do my job properly!" After saying that, he carried Annabelle up and walked into the bathroom.

Annabelle struggled, "Alistair, no, let me down…"

……

After the shower.

Alistair took a bath towel and covered Annabelle. He carried her from the bathroom to the bed. Annabelle's face was completely blushed like an inviting apple.

She had never showed her body so ‘straight-forwardly' before. And now, she was too shy to even raise her face. She couldn't bear to look at Alistair in the eyes.

Alistair broke into a laughter, "Miss Xia, if you continue to lower your head like that, it will drop to the floor!"

The person that was most tormented and also the victim should be Alistair! He could only see his ‘dessert' and couldn't taste her. It felt horrible!

However, he knew that Annabelle wasn't in the best health and he let her off.

Annabelle simply curled in the blanket and lied down in bed, "Mr. Mu, it's getting late now. I will sleep now and you should sleep earlier as well!"

At that time, Alistair turned over and got into her blanket. The man hugged Annabelle tightly.

"You…"

"Don't move, just let me hug you like this!" Alistair heard her from behind and Annabelle could hear his deep voice next to her ear.

After Annabelle heard that, she didn't move.

Alistair hugged her and closed his eyes, "It had been too long since I hug you like this!"

Annabelle felt moved but she didn't say anything.

It was quiet in the room and none of them spoke. The only thing they heard was each other's breaths…

The next day.

When Annabelle woke up, Alistair was already gone. The woman heard some clanking outside the room. She changed into a comfortable pajama and walked out wearing her cotton slippers.

When she got into the living room, she saw Alistair's bustling back view in the kitchen. His tall and huge built looked inharmonious with the kitchen. However, he had a different kind of manly and mature charm.

Annabelle's lips curled up. She was surprised to see Alistair actually getting up to prepare breakfast.

Alistair felt the gaze from behind and he turned his head back. The morning sunlight shone on Annabelle through the French window and the man just couldn't avert his eyes away from her.

"You're up!" He raised an eyebrow and cheered. The man's charming and deep voice was seductive in the morning.

"Yeah!" Annabelle nodded and walked towards him, "How was it, are you done?"

Alistair was holding two eggs and he seemed lost. The ever so confident man looked so helpless, "What should I do with this?"

When Annabelle saw him, she couldn't help but broke into a chuckle. However, she wouldn't give that chance up to ridicule him, "Oh dear me, Mr. Mu, aren't you the invincible man? How can two simple eggs trouble you that much?"

Alistair was a man that takes no taunting. Even if he didn't know how, he would put on a tough front.

"Who said that? It's just cooking some eggs!" After saying that, Alistair looked at the eggs in both of his hands and then decided to give it a go.

He switched on the stove and took a deep breath. The man woke up early in the morning and after he poured two glass of milk, he had spent all the remaining time studying how to switch on the stove fire. In the end, he gave up and called Jack. Jack was so surprised to hear that from him. However, it turned out that Jack didn't know how as well. The two men had no other choice but to search it in the Internet. After a long hassle, they managed to get the fire settled.

Alistair started pouring the cooking oil. However, he didn't know how much he should pour and he kept going on and on. In the end, Alistair almost finished pouring all the oil inside the frying pan.

Annabelle was shocked but she wasn't in time to stop him. He had poured too much and she called out anxiously, "Mr. Mu, do you know the person that sells you the cooking oil?"

Alistair blinked his eyes innocently and answered, "No!"

"If you don't, why are you pouring so much?" Annabelle said that and hurriedly cleaned up the mess.

Alistair simply stood behind and said, "The CEO of the largest cooking oil company tried to get me to invest in his company. But I rejected him every time!" The man said smugly.

Annabelle, "…"

After handling the situation, Annabelle explained, "Just a little bit would suffice!"

Without realizing, Annabelle started to take charge. Alistair hurriedly took the spatula away from her hand and said, "I got it, I will handle this!"
