The Most Loving Marriage: Don't Be Too Bad, Mr President novel Chapter 67

“If you obstinately decide to use other underhanded method, then ask someone else to represent you!” Annabelle was dogged with her own principalities.

What’s the point of playing if winning with one’s own strength isn’t the goal?

“Haha alright, you seem confident!” Mu chuckled at her stubbornness.

“I wish to have a fair fight. If too many complications were involved, then it would diminish the merits of the competition!” Annabelle’s eyes glistened in conviction.

“Alright, then I shall look forward to your good work!”

“Thanks Mr. Mu!”

“Ok, where shall we eat?” Mu changed to the next important subject.

……

“No need, I wanna go back now.” Annabelle intuitively put her palm on her cheek, recalling the previous experience that ended up with a slap.

You gotta learn from your mistakes!

“But you haven’t eaten anything yet!”

“I ate some when we were at Mr. Lee’s place, still not hungry, you go on. And now I have some sparks and idea, I want to start working on it ASAP!”

Mu turned to look at her dubiously, squinting his eyes trying to tell if she was lying.

Finally, he gave in and drove her home.

Annabelle maintained her butt close to the door, once the car stopped, she immediately sprung out the car and giggled, “See you Mr. Mu, drive safe! Bye!” and shut his door without waiting for his response.

Mu was tickled by her comical act. Didn’t she know that the more you run away from a dog, the more you’re inviting it to chase? His keen on her just got stronger and stronger…

Mu however wasn’t impatient as he found great delight in the process.

He nodded and revved his car off.

Annabelle breathed a sigh a relief and went in her apartment. She had mixed feelings that Mu actually left so easily…

Annabelle took a quick shower and changed to her comfort wear. Then she sat on the floor and began to work. Her mind was preoccupied by her eventful evening; Mu’s words, Mr. Lee…

Suddenly, a name lit up in her mind – Alexis Hera.

She flipped on her laptop and typed in the name in the search bar, many results came in.

Annabelle clicked and enlarged a photo of Alexis, she was blonde and intelligent in expression. Her make-up was of intense appreciation and her taste in dress was refined. She was sensational-looking and possessed a subtle steely core.

Annabelle continued to read more about her and she stumbled upon a detail during her younger days, a ground-breaking one!

She picked up her phone immediately and called Mu.

“Hello?”

“Mr. Mu!”

Mu could hear the excitement through the phone and teased her, “Miss me already?”

Annabelle rolled-eye and ignored him, “Did Alexis Hera lost hers son from an accident?”

Mu was stunned momentarily, his thoughts were processing like lighting, “Yes, that seems to be the case…”

“Ok!”

And the call was dropped.

Mu stared at his phone and sank into deep thoughts. After sometime, his knitted eyebrows released and a smile curved on his face.

Annabelle finished the design overnight. She looked over and over again at it and smiled contentedly. Even if this wasn’t a prize-winning work, it sure was a meaningful and telling work!

She carefully inserted her drawing inside a file, and took a cold shower to refresh herself.
