My Killing President novel Chapter 667

After leaving the company, the couple went straight to the hospital.

Nancy woke up in between. However, due to her body being too weak, she fell asleep again.

Alistair looked at her in the ward and his eyebrows furrowed deeply. Although he wasn't in a romantic relationship with Nancy, they had spent a good time in their teenage lives. Moreover, she ended up that way because of him. The man was just worried sick.

However, he didn't want Annabelle to overthink and he didn't show his emotions.

Now that he looked at Nancy, he just couldn't express his feelings.

He would rather be the person that take her place and lie in the hospital bed.

Yet, all he felt was guilt and he couldn't do anything to compensate her, not ever in this life.

Annabelle looked at Alistair and she didn't know how to comfort her.

She tried to put herself in his shoe. When she was overseas for two years, Song Jing had taken good care of her and she couldn't forget his good will. It paled in comparison when Nancy almost lost her life in saving him.

She looked at the woman in the bed.

"She will be fine!" Annabelle said.

Alistair nodded.

Alistair had arranged a 24-hour guardian for her. After Madam Mu found out about their past, she would be coming over every day. However, Alistair was too worried.

If Nancy were to get into any complications because of him, Alistair wouldn't be able to leave in peace for the rest of his life.

After staying in the hospital for a long while and that Nancy hadn't been waking up, Alistair and Annabelle left.

When they were on their way back, Annabelle stretched out her hand and held Alistair's, "Nancy is young and strong. She will definitely be fine!"

When Alistair heard Annabelle's words of comfort, he tilted his head and looked at her. His lips curled up as he nodded, "Yeah!"

As they continued to drive, Annabelle didn't know how she should comfort Alistair. And she decided to just keep quiet.

When they reached home, Alistair wanted to cook but he realized that they didn't have any ingredients at home. Alistair wanted to go to the supermarket but it felt awkward for a man to shop alone. More importantly, he didn't know how to pick and choose the ingredient. Hence, Annabelle decided to follow him along.

In the supermarket.

Alistair was wearing a pair of black trousers and blue shirt. He was a born model and he looked great in anything.

Annabelle was wearing a light grey casual wear. She tied her long black hair up and she looked sensual yet innocent.

As the two were walking together: Alistair pushing the trolley and Annabelle picking up the goods, they managed to gain a lot of attention.

The man was gorgeous and the woman was beautiful, it was only normal for them to attract attention.

The way Alistair shop was simple. He would judge the packaging: If it looked good, he would throw it inside the trolley.

If it was something he needed, he would throw it in the trolley.

If he saw Annabelle's favorite snacks, he would throw it in the trolley.

When Annabelle turned her head back, the trolley was half full. Annabelle was shocked, "What have you bought?"

Alistair looked at the pile of goods, "I don't know either. We will know when we go home and open them up!"

Annabelle, "……"

When she picked up the goods and took a look, she was rendered speechless. They were mostly useless things. And Annabelle had to put them back to the shelves.

"Mr. Mu, you shall be in charge of pushing the trolley and paying for them. That is all and leave the rest to me!"

Alistair was in vex that he wasn't of much help even in shopping. However, Alistair couldn't deny the fact that he didn't know how to pick the goods. He didn't argue and followed behind Annabelle with the trolley.

They bought their favorite snacks and proceeded to the fresh market.

When Alistair observed from the back, he saw that Annabelle seemed to be very experienced. He walked forward and asked, "Isn't it just vegetables? Why do you even need to select them?" In the man's point of view, all the vegetables looked alike.

"Of course there's a need for that. You must see if they are fresh enough! How can you just simply buy it?"

"Then how do you tell if they are fresh?" Alistair asked.

When Annabelle saw that he was asking humbly, she decided to give him a lesson, "It is quite simple. If you are buying vegetables, choose those with good and healthy colors. Make sure they look fine and without blemish. Next, pay attention to those with weird shape. Some vegetables had undergone some genetic or hormonal engineering. They might get a deformed shape. Lastly, avoid those with weird smell or stench. In conclusion, look at the colors, shapes and smell. If you don't mind that it's dirty, you can even taste it!" Annabelle said.

After listening to her extensive explanation, Alistair gave a conclusion, "You sounded as if you are picking a person!"

Annabelle laughed, "Bingo, that is exactly it!"

"How do you know these?"

"If you lived independently for a long time, you would know it as well!" Annabelle said.

"Then why didn't I know?"

"Because you are a filthy rich man that lives in the top part of the pyramid!"

Filthy rich man…

Alistair gave Annabelle an eye roll. Annabelle simply smiled back sweetly and continued to pick her goods.

She bought some more meat and lastly, Annabelle went to get a cookery book for Alistair.

After getting a huge pile of goods, Alistair took out his card charmingly and swiped it. The lady from the counter was even winking at him. She looked at Annabelle enviously.

Annabelle accepted it happily. It was quite a joy to receive such admiration and jealousy as she brought a handsome man around.

Now that Annabelle was pregnant, Alistair was the one that took everything up. Annabelle simply walked empty handedly next to him and she got another wave of jealous looks…

All of a sudden, Annabelle felt that going to the supermarket with Alistair resembled going to the battlefield. A lot of people were showing her enmity.

However, Annabelle simply smiled back at them. It felt awesome when others were jealous of you yet they couldn't do anything.

After going out the supermarket, the couple got into their Aston Martin. Alistair was probably the only person in the world that would drive such an expensive car to the supermarket. Only he could be so high profile.

Annabelle couldn't help but exclaimed. Just the petrol from driving here and back could equal the amount they spent for the ingredients.

After getting in the car, the two of them went home.

When they reached home, Alistair brought the goods into the kitchen. After that, Annabelle brought Alistair the cookery book and said to him solemnly, "Mr. Mu, now that we are in a very special period, I shall leave the burdening task of kitchen work to you. Good luck and all the best!"

When Alistair looked at the cookery book, he knew that Annabelle had planned it long ago. However, he didn't mind and he accepted it happily. As long as it made her happy and pleased…

Alistair took the book from her hand and looked at her, "Don't worry, an outstanding person like me can definitely shine even in the kitchen. Miss Xia, consider yourself lucky to have such an excellent man like me. You better keep a close eye on me!"

Annabelle simply smiled at him, "Then I shall keep you in the kitchen for the rest of your life!"

After hearing that, Alistair smiled salaciously and he tapped his fingers on the kitchen island, "I like it in the kitchen as well. Especially on top of here!"

When Annabelle heard his bawdy statement, she simply gave him a short answer, "You hound!"

"I can show you more sides of a hound, do you believe me?"

"Mr. Mu, if you aren't afraid of grandmother's scolding, come at me! I will be sure to tell on you!" Annabelle chuckled.

Actually, even if she didn't need to tell the grandmother, Alistair wouldn't touch her. Now that she was in her first trimester, he didn't dare to initiate a sexual relationship.

However, he squinted his eyes and walked closer to Annabelle. The man pinched on her chin and breathed in front of her face, "I'm not suggesting that we do it now. After he comes out, Miss Xia, I will make you beg for it here…"

Alistair's words could always make her blush.

Right after Annabelle wanted to say anything, Alistair added suddenly, "No, to be more exact, we don't have to wait for him to come out. We simply need to wait for three months!"

Annabelle blushed completely, "What are you talking about!"

"Therefore, if you want to beg for mercy now, I can forgive you…"

Annabelle simply chuckled, "There are still another two months before we finishes the first trimester. Let's wait and see!"

It just wasn't an easy task to make her surrender.

Right when Alistair wanted to kiss her, she evaded him naughtily, "Hurry and cook. I will wait for you in the living room!" After saying that, she walked out to the living room.

Alistair stood in the kitchen and looked at Annabelle's back view. He couldn't help but smile heartily.

Annabelle sat in the living room and rested her legs on the coffee table. She took out her laptop and browsed around.

Alistair was in the kitchen sorting out the goods they just bought. He would look at Annabelle from time to time, checking out what she was doing. The woman was sitting comfortably and drinking warm water while eating fruits. She was having a good time as she browsed her laptop.

The man couldn't help but sighed. Alistair, Alistair… Now you ended up serving and cooking for a woman. However, as he thought about that, he was completely willing and happy to do that.

The man had fallen completely for this woman.

Therefore, there was a funny scene in the house.

Alistair was busy in the kitchen and Annabelle was relaxing in the living room. The space was connected and they could see each other.

"Annabelle, which one is salt and which one is the sugar?"

"The salt is on the left and the sugar is on the right!"

"Annabelle, where is the MSG?"

"In the blue box!"

"Annabelle, how much water should I use to cook the rice?"

"Two fingers above the rice!"

"Annabelle…"

The man's voice was heard from time to time from the kitchen. Annabelle would answer him very patiently. All of a sudden, he asked, "Annabelle, how much salt should I put…"

Annabelle couldn't stand it anymore. She stood up and walked towards the kitchen.

"Mr. Mu, don't you have a cookery book?"

"It says in appropriate amount. How do I know what is the appropriate amount?" Alistair said that innocently.

"Appropriate amount…" Annabelle walked over and looked at the menu, "That means you just have to put a suitable amount!"

Alistair, "…"

Annabelle couldn't describe it and she simply walked over and did it for him, "This much is enough!"

Alistair lifted up his hand and made an OK sign. Annabelle looked at him and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"No more!"

"Then I shall go back now!"

"Okay!"

And Annabelle went back to the living room.

After half an hour, Annabelle was starving already, "Alistair, are you done?"

It was quiet in the kitchen.

Annabelle felt weird and she called out again, "I am starving to death!"

It was still quiet in the kitchen…

At that time, Annabelle couldn't suppress her curiosity. She stood up and walked to the kitchen. When she went inside, Alistair looked at her innocently, "I don't know why but the rice isn't cooked…"

"Not cooked?" Annabelle was curious. She walked over and opened the rice cooker. It looked exactly the same as she saw it earlier.

Only then, Annabelle noticed that he didn't even switched it on.

All of a sudden, she realized that she had made a mistake to leave him alone in the kitchen!!!

"Mr. Mu, if you don't switch on the power, how can you expect it to be cooked!?" Annabelle asked.

Alistair looked at her and said naïvely, "I see, so I still need to turn on the switch…"

Annabelle almost wanted to scratch the wall. AHHHHHHHH!!!!!

She shouldn't believe in Alistair's IQ!!!

Now they needed to wait another twenty minutes to eat.

When Annabelle looked at the dishes Alistair prepared, she was impressed by the colors. They looked fine but the presentation was… Simply pathetic.

Annabelle couldn't help but worry if it was safe to eat them.

At that time, Annabelle pointed at a dish and asked, "What is this?"

Alistair took out the cookery book and flipped to a page, "This!"

Annabelle made a comparison but it doesn't look identical at all…

In order not to hurt Alistair's feelings, Annabelle forced a smile and complimented, "It's… quite good, considering it is your first time!"

Alistair was agreeable.

Twenty minutes later, they started to eat.

When Annabelle looked at the three dishes on the table, she didn't know where to start.

After some consideration, she put her chopsticks in.

The taste was acceptable and not too bad. At the very least, the man put the right amount of salt.

Alistair tried a mouthful as well. Although it tasted bad, he decided to eat more since it was his hard work.
