My Killing President novel Chapter 679

Annabelle's greatest surprise, Nancy didn't leave.

Although Albert had come personally to pick her up, Nancy managed to convinced her father to let her stay. The father was obviously cosseting her.

Annabelle did not join Alistair's meal with Albert. The woman wasn't interested because she wasn't familiar with Albert and she didn't want to interrupt their time of reminisce.

During the meal.

Alistair looked at Albert, "Master, why are you leaving so soon?"

"I still have a lot of work pending in the company. I just can't stay for long!"

Alistair nodded agreeably, "What about Nancy…?"

"She will stay!"

Alistair frowned faintly, "Why?"

"She doesn't want to leave for the time being and I do not want to force her. Moreover, if she isn't going back willingly, I know that she wouldn't be happy after going home!"

When Albert saw that Alistair remained quiet, he continued, "Maybe after she gives up, she would be willing to go home willingly!"

Alistair understood what the man was trying to say. His looked at the man and pondered for a while. After that, he nodded, "I understand!"

"She shouldn't be bothering you too much staying here. However… Do help me to keep an eye on her. After all, her condition…" Albert was cutting his steak and eating elegantly.

Alistair nodded, "I understand. I will definitely do that!"

After that, the two of them chatted and caught up with one another. Albert left that very day.

When he left, Alistair and Nancy went to send him off.

"Daddy, I will miss you!"

"Come back earlier, don't make your daddy worry!" Albert said.

Nancy nodded. When the screen in the airport was making the boarding announcement, Albert walked into the departure hall.

After he left, Alistair looked at Nancy and offered, "I'll send you back!"

Nancy didn't refuse and nodded. The woman followed him to his car.

On their way back, Nancy watched as other cars moved back in their car window.

She turned her gaze towards Alistair's gorgeous side view. Although it was just a side view, he was so perfect like the masterpiece of a great artist.

However, she knew that the man had never belonged to her.

"Are you disappointed that daddy didn't manage to bring me home?" Nancy asked suddenly.

Alistair was driving with one arm and he wasn't looking at her. After pondering for a while, he said, "Nancy, I do not wish to interact with you like this!"

Nancy was showing an indignant expression. She didn't want it either. However, from the moment the man informed her father, she was just upset with him.

"I can manage by myself. I hope you won't be notifying my father about everything!" Nancy said with a little vexation.

"Then you shouldn't have done something so worrying!"

"Noted. I won't let you worry about me anymore!" Nancy enunciated clearly.

Alistair didn't answer her and continued to drive. The man's gaze was deep and no one could tell what he was thinking.

After a long time, Nancy couldn't handle the tension in atmosphere anymore and she said, "Send me to the hotel!"

"Reason!"

"I will not stay in the Mu House anymore to cause you trouble!"

"Then I think you should get your daddy's approval first!"

"You…"

"If you really want to keep staying here, you better be obedient!" Alistair's tone was stern and cold like a machine.

Nancy looked at him and decided not to argue with him. The woman simply kept her silence.

After half an hour, they reached the Mu House.

Right after the car parked, Nancy got down immediately and walked inside.

Alistair followed after her. After he went in the house and informed the family, he needed to go back to his company.

"Had Nancy's father left?" The grandmother asked.

Alistair nodded, "He is busy with this company. He said to have dinner together some other time!"

Grandma Mu nodded, "Sigh, he came all the way from Malaysia and we didn't even get to treat him for a meal!"

Alistair simply smiled casually, "We will have the chance in the future!"

"Okay!"

"Grandma, I still have something to do and I'll go back to the company. Please help me to take care of Nancy!"

"Okay. Don't worry and just go. I'm here!"

Alistair nodded and walked away.

On his way back, Alistair had a sudden thought to give Annabelle a call. He wore his earpiece and called Annabelle's number.

Annabelle was still sleeping at home. When she heard the ring tone, she fumbled around for her phone and brought it to her ear.

"Hello…"

"Are you still sleeping?"

"Yes!" After that she looked at the time, "For three hours already…"

"You should get up and move around for a bit. It isn't too good to sleep so long!" The man said gently. His deep voice was filled with love and cosset.

"Okay, I will get up in a while. Have you sent him off?" Annabelle averted the topic all of a sudden.

"Yeah, he left. And I just send Nancy home!"

"Okay~" Annabelle replied. She felt that there was nothing more to say and she spoke, "Let's hang up, I'll get up and eat something!"

"Okay!" After reminding Annabelle to take care of herself, the man hung up the phone.

Alistair continued to drive to the company while Annabelle got up to rinse her face. When she was washing her face, she noticed all of a sudden that she got fatter!

She didn't know if it was just her own illusion.

Forget it, even if she were to get fatter, she needed to keep up with her nutrition. Therefore, Annabelle walked to the kitchen to look for food…

"Nancy, has your daddy really left?" Antonio Lu looked at Nancy and asked.

Nancy nodded and she wasn't showing the man much keen. If Alistair wasn't around, she wouldn't be so attached to Antonio Lu.

"Then did your father say anything before he left?" Antonio Lu looked at her and asked probingly.

Nancy shook her head disinterestedly.

She turned towards the man and looked at him, "He didn't. Why?"

Antonio Lu smiled awkwardly, "It's nothing!"

Nancy didn't think much as well. Her thoughts just weren't with the man, "If there is nothing else, I shall go back now!"

When Antonio Lu saw that she wanted to leave, he stood up, "Nancy…"

The woman turned her head back and looked at him. Her gaze was filled with puzzlement, "Yes?"

"Umm… It's lunchtime soon, do you want to eat together?"

Nancy rejected without any hesitation, "I don't think so, I have promised auntie Mu to eat with her!"

Antonio Lu smiled awkwardly, "All right then, let me send you back!"

"It's fine. I can just go back myself, see you!" After smiling at the man, she left Antonio Lu's company.

When Antonio Lu saw her walking away, his eyebrows lowered faintly.

Why was that whenever Alistair isn't around, she would behave so distancing and uninterested?

As the wedding date drew closer, everyone was busy with the preparation. Only the pregnant Annabelle was having a relaxed time.

One day, Annabelle received a call from Teneria and she went back to the Xia house.

Teneria and Waynie sat opposite her and they were in a serious demeanor.

"Dad, is there anything you want to tell me?" Annabelle asked.

And Teneria placed a document in front of her.

"What is this?" Annabelle looked at the document on the table. She took it up and flipped it over while asking curiously.

"After discussing with your mother and your brother, we decided to give you this. You simply need to sign!" Teneria said.

Annabelle flipped it open to the first page.

The Xia Group's share transfer agreement.

The moment Annabelle saw that title, she glanced through the documents speedily. After that, she raised her gaze and looked at her parents, "Dad, mom, I can't sign this!"

After saying that, she closed the document and wanted to pass it back to them.

"You have five percent of the Xia Group's shares. Now we decided to give you another fifteen percent as your dowry!" The father said.

The man was more than willing to give his daughter that. He was only worried that Annabelle wouldn't accept it.

Unsurprisingly, Annabelle wanted to reject, "Dad, I know that you love me. But I can't be taking this!"

"Why?" Waynie asked.

"This is all dad and brother's hard work, I haven't done anything to contribute at all. How can I accept it?" Annabelle said. Moreover, everything belonged rightfully to Ralphy.

"These are meant for you and your brother. Don't worry about it, your brother knows about this!" Ralphy said as he was afraid that Annabelle might worry.

"But…"

"I know that you have twenty percent shares from the Mu group. The Mu family is wealthy and rich, these are all we could give you!" Teneria said.

"But…"

"Why? Do you think the relationship between you and your brother would change because of these twenty percent shares?" Waynie asked smilingly.

After Annabelle heard that, she raised her head and looked at her parents.

Was that so?

All these while, even right to this moment, the woman was just uncomfortable to take anything that rightfully belonged to Ralphy. Subconsciously, she still think of herself as an outsider in this house.

As she thought about that, all of a sudden she felt that she had wronged her parents.

"Of course not. We will always be family and why would my relationship with brother change because of that?" Annabelle said.
