My Killing President novel Chapter 725

Annabelle Xia had promised her parents that she would see to the matter.

However, after so many days she still didn't know how she should talk to her man.

On the other side, she hadn't been meeting Alistair Mu as well. She didn't know that it wasn't that they didn't meet, Alistair Mu would come home every night after she fell asleep and accompany her for some time.

The man would simply stare at her for a little while, sometimes half an hour and he would leave.

Therefore, Annabelle Xia didn't have the chance to talk to Alistair Mu.

One day, Annabelle Xia received a call from the mother. She was sobbing over the phone and telling Annabelle Xia that Ralphy Xia had an accident in the jail.

Annabelle Xia knew that she couldn't drag any longer.

All these while, it wasn't that she didn't have the chance but she subconsciously avoided the confrontation…

In the end, Annabelle Xia looked at his phone and called Alistair Mu.

Alistair Mu was in his office when his phone rang.

His gaze were flickering in hesitation. After contemplating for a long while, he answered the call.

"Hello…"

"Alistair, it's me!"

"Yes? Is anything the matter?"

"I… I wish to invite you for dinner. Do you have the time?" Annabelle Xia asked. All of a sudden, she felt that the ever so intimate partner was like a stranger.

"Okay… What time?"

"Nine o'clock tonight, Hua Lin restaurant!"

"… Okay!"

"See you!"

"See you!"

After a simple conversation, they hung up.

Annabelle Xia held her phone and she had a pained expression. It was just a few days and even the way they interacted changed.

As she recalled that they would be meeting in the night, she drew a deep breath.

Since she needed to face it anyway, she might as well be optimistic.

Alistair Mu looked at his phone and he had a grim expression as well. The man knew that the confrontation was inevitable. If that was the case, he should do it properly.

Nine o'clock, Hua Lin Hotel.

Annabelle Xia wore a pastel yellow dress and tied her hair up, leaving a few loose strands on her shoulder. The woman looked feminine and charming.

Annabelle Xia sat on the table all by herself, with a soothing candlelight and a bottle of red wine. The place was romantic and suitable for couples.

It also cost a lot.

Alistair Mu had always brought her here to dine.

That was also another reason she chose this place. They shared so many precious and beautiful memories here.

As Annabelle Xia recalled their sweet time in the restaurant, her lips curled up.

The woman checked her watch.

It was already nine o'clock. It was rare for Alistair Mu to be late.

When Annabelle Xia was wondering what happened, the door was opened and Alistair Mu walked inside.

The man wore a dark blue suit and he carried a strong presence. Everyone that saw him found it difficult to avert their gaze.

The moment he walked inside and glanced through the crowd, he fixed his eyes on Annabelle Xia and walked towards her.

"Sorry, there was something urgent last-minute and I'm late!" Alistair Mu said as he pulled a chair and sat down.

"It's okay!" Annabelle Xia smiled.

Even the way they spoke was decorous.

"Why do you want to come here all of a sudden?" Alistair Mu looked at the candlelight dinner and asked.

"I simply feel that it had been quite a while since we ate like this together. Is there a problem? Do you not like it?"

"No, I like it!"

Annabelle Xia smiled.

At that time, a waiter came up and looked at them, "Mr. and Mrs. Mu, may I take your order?"

Alistair Mu frequented that the place and he was a VIP customer. Almost all of the workers there knew him.

Not only that, their wedding was so high profile and everyone knew about it. All of the waiters could recognize them.

"Just the usual!"

"Steak for me!"

"Okay, please wait a moment. We will serve right away!"

Alistair Mu nodded and the waiter excused himself.

The two of them looked at each other and didn't know what to say.

"Do you want some red wine?" Annabelle Xia tried to start the topic. She lifted her glass and wanted to pour.

"You are pregnant, you can't drink!" Just when Annabelle Xia was pouring her wine, Alistair Mu stretched out his hand suddenly and stopped her.

Annabelle Xia looked at his hand.

It was big and it gave her some sense of security.

"It's okay, a little bit is fine!" Annabelle Xia smiled.

But Alistair Mu did not relent. He pressed on the wine bottle and stopped her from pouring.

When Annabelle Xia saw his determination, she relented, "Then just let me pour for you, okay?"

Alistair Mu nodded and withdrew his hand.

Annabelle Xia smiled and poured him half glass full. After that, she sneakily poured a little bit for herself.

Alistair Mu looked at her right away but she simply chuckled, "Just a little!"

As the man saw that it was just a little said, he let her off.
