My Killing President novel Chapter 724

"Annabelle, I know your brother was at fault. But he is my son, your brother! He had loved you since you are a little girl. Annabelle, can you please save him…" Waynie Xu looked at Annabelle Xia and begged.

Annabelle Xia had a pained expression and didn't know what to do.

If she were to interfere, it would definitely harm the relationship between her and Alistair Mu. The man didn't even go home and it was obvious that he didn't want her to get involved. But if she didn't interfere…

When Waynie Xu saw Annabelle Xia hesitating, she got down the bed hurriedly and knelt on the floor, "Annabelle, mum begs you. Please save Ralphy!"

"Mum!! Don't do this!" Annabelle Xia hurriedly knelt down as well, wanted to help her mother up.

"NO! If you don't promise me, I will not get back up! I only have one son, I cannot lose him!"

"Mum…"

"Annabelle, I beg you… If you talk to Alistair Mu, he will definitely listen to you. He loves you so much and he will definitely let Ralphy go!"

"Mum, get up first!" Waynie Xu wanted to pull Waynie Xu up but the mother was refusing stubbornly.

"No, Annabelle! I beg you, save your brother…"

"Mum, it's not that I don't want to help…" Annabelle Xia didn't know what to say.

"Annabelle, I am begging you. Just save your brother… Please… For the sake of repaying our family that we bring you up and did so much for you, even when you are not one of us!! Just save my son! I beg you…" Waynie Xu looked at Annabelle Xia and wailed in agony.

But after Annabelle Xia heard that, she was stupefied.

She looked at the mother like a stranger.

However, Waynie Xu continued to beg her, "Annabelle, I beg you. Are you really so heartless to leave Ralphy to rot in jail?!"

Annabelle Xia simply heard a ringing in her head and everything her mother said afterward was blurred.

She thought that after such a long time, she was one of the family despite the blood ties. She hadn't expected Waynie Xu to say something like that…

At that moment, Annabelle Xia was just broken hearted.

So after all, she was just an outsider in this family…

No matter what she did, she was just an adopted child.

Although she remembered Waynie Xu's love and care, after what the mother said now, she just didn't know how to react…

When she was lost, Teneria Xia came upstairs. Right after he came to the doorstep, he saw Waynie Xu kneeling on the floor.

The man was shocked. But when he saw Annabelle Xia stood frozen, the father caught on what happened. He hurried over and pulled Waynie Xu up, "What are you doing?!"

"Annabelle, mum begs you… I beg you…" Waynie Xu continued to beg her desperately. Because of what happened to Ralphy Xia, the mother had lost all her composure and grace. She was in despair.

Annabelle Xia froze and her eyes welled up in tears. As she saw Teneria Xia pulled the mother up, she hurriedly went over and helped.

"Dad, please take care of mum. About brother… I will try to think of something…" After saying that, she looked at them both and went away.

When Teneria Xia looked at her back, he just couldn't describe his feeling.

All of his words were stuck in his throat. There was just nothing he could say…

When he heard Annabelle Xia's footsteps leaving into the distance, he came back to his senses. He looked at the woman in his arms and said helplessly, "Come, go rest a little…"

……

After leaving the Xia house, Annabelle Xia sat in the car and she was just lost. It was night already and the streetlights were lit up.

The street was bustling with people but it wasn't as busy as the day.

"Stop the car." Annabelle Xia said suddenly.

The driver turned his head back towards Annabelle Xia. The woman simply said emotionlessly, "I wish to take a stroll. You may go back first!"

"But…" The driver was placed in a tight spot. The grandmother had given strict instruction that he must see to her safety and follow her every orders.

Annabelle Xia simply showed the man a restful smiled, "I'm fine. I just want to take a stroll and find something to eat. I will just give you a call to pick me up later!"

The driver nodded and Annabelle Xia got down the car. After that, he said, "I will wait for you here!"

"There is no need. A friend of mine is coming and it will take some time. I will call you later!"

"Okay!"

As she closed the car door, the driver drove away.

Annabelle Xia stood by the roadside all alone.

By spending some time walking alone, she would be able to clear her mind and she felt a burden off her shoulders.

The woman walked by the roadside slowly and she was lost in thought. There were all kinds of thinking that flashed in her mind. However, in the end it was Alistair Mu that mattered the most.

Whenever she thought of him, she would feel heavy hearted and pain.

She knew Alistair Mu was troubled and the man wouldn't want to burden her.

But after she found out that Ralphy Xia was the mastermind behind all the malicious attack towards Alistair Mu, she just knew that Alistair Mu had known about it long ago. The man hadn't take any action's all because of her.

Now that the man avoided her because he wanted to make things easier for her. That she didn't need to get involved…

She sighed helplessly.

At that time, Annabelle Xia's gaze was fixed at one shop.

It had an interesting and country-like furnishing. The place looked cozy and it was selling some sort of desserts and drinks. There weren't many customers inside and Annabelle Xia went inside because she simply felt like it.

"Miss, may I take your order?" A sweet looking shopkeeper smiled at Annabelle Xia and asked.

At that time, Annabelle Xia looked at the best seller in the poster and replied, "Give me one of that!"

The shopkeeper nodded and said, "Okay, do you need anything else?"

Annabelle Xia shook her head.

"Okay, please wait a while!"

After Annabelle Xia paid, she walked to a seat by the window and got herself seated.

Five minutes later, a waiter come with what she ordered.

"Miss, please enjoy!"

Annabelle Xia nodded with a smile.

"Miss, we have a wishing wall here. Whoever made their wishes and stick it on our wishing wall, will have their wishes come true! Do you want to give it a try?" The waiters said with a sweet smile. After that, she pointed at the wall by the side. It was some kind of a blackboard of our school times. And there were all sorts of colorful stickers on it, pink, blue, green… It was a pretty sight.

If Annabelle Xia were to hear that earlier, she might do that it was meant for the pure and innocent… kids.

But the waitress continued, "Every wish signifies a hope. Even if it didn't come true, it would leave a beautiful trail in your life!"

Annabelle Xia nodded agreeably.

The waitress smiled and passed her a pen and a piece of pink note.

Annabelle Xia took it over and hesitated what to write.

The assistant spoke again, "You can just write about anything. We will stick it there and you will be able to find it the next time you come over!"

Annabelle Xia smiled and wrote a line:

Despite fear and uncertainty, we could stay together loyally and lovingly forever.

What Annabelle Xia wrote came from the great novelist Mikhailia Bulgakov.

Although her situation was different from the book, Annabelle Xia felt that it best described her feelings.

Her feelings towards Alistair Mu…

After writing that, Annabelle Xia looked at the piece of paper and smiled.

"You need to write your own name and stick it up yourself, and your dream will come true!" The waitress smiled at her.

In the end, Annabelle Xia wrote her name on the bottom right and walked over. The woman simply chose a random spot and stuck her note.

The waitress watched her from behind and smiled sweetly, "Your dream will definitely come true!"

Annabelle Xia smiled. She browsed through the notes and there was one that wrote:

I hope we can stay together forever…

The woman's lips curled up in gentleness.

This piece of small board carried countless dreams.

But, how many of them could have their dreams come true…?

In the end, she went back to her seat and took a sip of her drink. Shortly after, Annabelle Xia left the place.

The sky turned dark already.

It was a starry night and that meant the next day would be a cloudless, sunny day.

But she didn't know what to expect in her following day…

The woman walked slowly by the roadside and she didn't call the driver to pick her up.

At that time, a car drove in from the distance and it parked right beside Annabelle Xia.

With Annabelle Xia saw who came down the car, she was stunned.

"Coby?"

Coby was her bodyguard in the past. Annabelle Xia didn't dislike this quiet man and she had a strong impression towards him. The woman could always feel great sense of security with him by the side.
