My Killing President

Chapter 725 Dinner

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. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

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.

"Don't forget that before this, I had been drinking red wine all the time!"

Alistair Mu nodded, "I know. But now you are pregnant, special times call for special treatment!"

When they were talking, the waiter came back with a trolley, "Mr. and Mrs. Mu, your dinner is ready!"

The man served the food on the table.

"Thank you!"

"You're welcome!"

After serving the dinner, the waiter excused himself again.

Right when Annabelle Xia wanted to cut her steak, a pair of beautiful fingers appeared in her sight and

brought her plate away.

"Let me help!"

Annabelle Xia looked at him and smiled. She didn't stop him and simply nodded, "Thank you!"

Alistair Mu brought her plate in front of him and started cutting the steak carefully.

Annabelle Xia simply watched him quietly. His fingers were long and clean. Yet they looked strong and

steady. Even the man's pair of hand was like a piece of art work.

"It's done!"

When Annabelle Xia heard that, she came back to her senses.

"Thank you!"

Alistair Mu didn't say anything. He put his plate back in front of him and started to work on his steak.

"I heard that all the business operation is back to normal!" Annabelle Xia said as she picked up a piece

and put it in her mouth.

When Alistair Mu heard her mentioning about work, his motion post and he was stunned. After that, he

nodded, "Yeah!"

Annabelle Xia simply mentioned that but she noticed that Alistair Mu was disinterested. Hence, she

stopped talking about the company.

"Do you still remember the first time you brought me here to eat?" Annabelle Xia looked at him and

asked.

When Alistair Mu heard that, his eyes changed to a gentleness.

How could the man forget? At that time, the two of them had such enmity towards each other. But now

that they recalled, it was just another wonderful memory.

The man's lips curled up.

At that time, a person approached them.

"President Mu?"

When Annabelle Xia and Alistair Mu heard that, they turned their head towards the person. Annabelle

Xia saw a beautiful lady with a stunning body standing in front of them.

She was wearing an off shoulder one-piece dress and she had a pair of striking long legs. She was

sexy.

Alistair Mu's eyebrows knitted closely, "You are?"

The woman moved closer and she was almost leaning on Alistair Mu, "Have you forgotten about me so

soon? We have such a good time in the private club. You…"

Alistair Mu frowned and he was annoyed by her, "You got the wrong person!"

"How could I? President Kuang was there as well…" The woman leaned on him intimately.

Alistair Mu looked at Annabelle Xia right away. The woman simply averted her face and lifted her wine

glass to take a sip.

Alistair Mu's face was grim.

When the woman saw Alistair Mu's gaze, she noticed Annabelle Xia and she was stunned.

After that, she asked, "May I know this is…"

"Hi, I am Annabelle Xia. Alistair Mu's wife!" Annabelle Xia lowered her glass and smiled at her.

"Oh, hi there!" The woman greeted back with a smile. However, she showed no intention to leave

Alistair Mu. As if it was most natural to act so intimate with another person's husband.

Annabelle Xia looked at the woman, she showed no anger but continued to smile, "Miss, have you

heard me?"

The woman nodded, "Yes I did!"

"Miss, aren't you getting too close to my husband? You might cause some misunderstanding!"

Annabelle Xia said nonchalantly. There was no hint of anger on her face but she simply smiled back

politely. That simply meant Annabelle Xia wasn't an easy character.

She couldn't be bothered with this kind of cheap tricks.

The woman noticed that she was almost clinging on Alistair Mu already.

She stood up awkwardly, "Sorry about that!"

"I advise you to respect yourself. Otherwise, people might misunderstand and think of you as a whore

that seduces other people's husband!"

"I…"

"Sorry but we want to eat. Please excuse us!" Annabelle Xia didn't give her a chance to speak but she

was smiling all the time. However, she was just exuding a cold and intimidating child.

The woman glanced at Annabelle Xia and she felt embarrassed. She looked at Alistair Mu and said,

"President Mu, let's talk again some other day…"

"There's no need for that!" Alistair Mu rejected her coldly.

Now the woman felt even more awkward. She said no more and left right away.

After she left, Annabelle Xia and Alistair Mu looked at each other.

"Don't you have anything to ask me?"

"I don't." Annabelle Xia shook her head.

Although it was good to have trust, but…

Alistair Mu looked at her, "I do not know her at all. When we were drinking in our private club, she came

in to deliver the alcohol…"

"You don't have to explain!"

Alistair Mu looked at Annabelle Xia.

"I believe you." Annabelle Xia said indifferently.

Alistair Mu looked at her and his eyes turned into a gentleness. He didn't say anything but simply lifted

his wineglass.

"Do you want to drink a little?"

"Sure!"

"But you can only drink ‘a little'!"

Annabelle Xia nodded and clinked with his glass.

The couple continued to have their dinner. The episode earlier was just a minor disturbance and they

completely ignored it.

However, the two of them were even quieter than earlier.
