Chapter 669 Decision
Chapter 669 Decision
Rest?
Renee An stared at Ralphy in disbelief. Did he not understand her? Or that she wasn't clear enough?
She believed that Ralphy knew what she meant!
But why…
When Renee An saw that Ralphy wanted to push her away, she was anxious. She pushed herself up
from the bed and kissed his lips…
Ralphy was stunned.
He hadn't expected Renee An to kiss him at all. All of a sudden, he didn't know what to do.
Renee An was just a woman. She could muster all of the courage to take the initiative but she couldn't
carry it on all by herself. Especially when the man was completely uninterested with her.
Finally, Renee An separated her lips from his and looked him in the eyes lovingly, "This is what I want,
do you understand now?"
When she said that, she was just feeling a sense of helplessness.
Since Ralphy wasn't willing to do anything, she had no choice to take the initiative.
Ralphy looked at Renee An and she didn't know how to respond to that.
"Ralphy, I am just a woman. Do I really need to do more…?"
"Renee, this is unfair to you!"
"What do you mean?"
"I married you with other interest in mind. Therefore, it is unfair that I do this to you!" Ralphy said.
When Renee An heard that, she was stunned.
She knew that their marriage was built upon their company's interest. However, she longed to love and
to be loved. She didn't know that her feelings were one-sided in this marriage.
She thought Ralphy had feelings towards her as well and that was the reason he married her.
Her confidence came from the way she grew up. Every man that saw her fell for her. Therefore, she
didn't think about that too much.
When she heard that, all of a sudden she didn't know what to do.
At that time, Ralphy stretched out his hand and caressed her hair gently, "Renee, I wish to wait a little
longer until I fall in love with you. And we shall save that when we are in love…" He said.
It was the first time he showed such gentleness to her.
After getting married for so long, the man had been busy, leaving the house early and coming home
late. They didn't even get much chances to speak. And he just never showed her such gentleness.
At that moment, Renee An melted in his gentleness and her mind went blank. She would just follow
everything Ralphy said.
He pulled her hand away and put them inside the blanket, "Okay, it's getting late now and you should
rest earlier!" After saying that, he wanted to get up.
"Where are you going?" Right when he stood up, Renee An wrapped his hand.
Ralphy was stunned and he looked at her, "I'm going to take a shower!"
Renee An released her grip heavy heartedly. Ralphy simply smiled at her, "Good night!" After saying
that, he went into the bathroom.
Renee An was very sleepy to begin with and she was being led on by what Ralphy said. She wasn't in
her clearest mind and she wanted to sleep after Ralphy joins her in the bed. However, she couldn't
battle against her sleepiness and she fell asleep in no time.
In the bathroom.
Ralphy looked at his own reflection in the mirror and he showed no emotion. He didn't know why but he
just couldn't control his heart.
Whenever he saw her appearing together with Alistair, the way they interacted… And the fact that she
was pregnant!
He felt all his strength escaping his body!
He kept reminding himself over and over again, that he would be fine as long as she was happy!
But that wasn't the case at all!
Whenever he saw her, he couldn't help but focused all of his attention on her…
After thinking for a long while, he went under the shower and calmed himself down.
After he came out from the shower, he could hear Renee An's light breathing sound. Ralphy knew that
she had fallen asleep. After drying his hair, he lied in the bed as well.
As he recalled what happened earlier, he knew that he wouldn't be able to drag this for long.
The inevitable would eventually come!
The next day.
When Annabelle woke up, she noticed that Alistair wasn't beside her.
She had gone to bed early and she had gotten enough sleep. Annabelle stretched a little and got up
the bed.
She walked out to the living room and looked inside the kitchen. And she saw that conflicting scene
where her man was working hard in the kitchen. Although he kept doing it wrong, and he made mistake
over and over again, he didn't give up or find another way out. The man persevered.
When Annabelle saw his struggle and frustration, her lips curled up.
She walked towards him quietly. When Alistair was having difficulty in differentiating salt and sugar,
Annabelle wrapped her arms around his waist and hugged him.
Alistair was stunned. He was so focused and he didn't even notice Annabelle approaching him.
"Why are you waking up so early?" Alistair asked.
"I can't sleep when you are not beside me!" Annabelle leaned her face on his back. The woman wasn't
short at all. But as she stood next to Alistair, she was like a school kid.
When Alistair heard that, he turned around and there was an evil grin on his gorgeous face. His eyes
were gleaming in lust, "Annabelle, do you know what that means?"
"What?" Annabelle looked at him and asked.
The man stared in her eyes passionately and said, "You are seducing me!"
After saying that, he kissed Annabelle's lips.
That was the first time he noticed that a woman's attraction could be so simple. There wasn't anything
he need, not sexiness, no provocative dresses… At that moment, just by simply looking at Annabelle
and he felt a strong urge to love her.
Especially now that he had held himself back for so many days. All he did was hugging her and some
kissing or touching. That wasn't close enough to satisfy his need.
The man's body was tensed up. He looked at her and he was about to lose control.
His voice was a little hoarse. His breathing got heavier and rapid.
The woman's natural scent was like an aphrodisiac and it roused his impulses. He ignored her struggle
and pushed her against the wall. After that, Alistair grabbed her face…
"We are in the kitchen…" Annabelle did not expect Alistair to act like that. She was still shy and
reserved.
Alistair simply chuckled, "Have you forgotten? I said I will make you…" After saying that, his lips curled
up, "Isn't it more exciting this way?!"
Yes!
It definitely is!
Very exciting!
In the end, Annabelle couldn't win against him. To be exact, the woman was just as sensitive as well,
therefore…
The scene in the kitchen was ‘exciting' indeed.
Twenty minutes later, Annabelle came out from the kitchen and ran into the bathroom.
Her face was blushed.
She looked at her reflection in the mirror and saw her blushing cheeks. However, her eyes were
gleaming in happiness.
Annabelle, you are getting more and more daring now!
Annabelle was quiet all through the breakfast.
She didn't mention a word about what happened this morning.
Alistair simply looked satisfied and he was in a good mood.
"Drink some milk!" Alistair helped to pour Annabelle a glass of milk.
Annabelle simply nodded and lifted up her cup to drink.
"How was it? Is it good?" Alistair looked at the breakfast and asked. He just couldn't tell anymore.
Because it was just a vast difference from what he cooked previously, as vast as the distance from the
sky to the ground. He just couldn't make an objective judgment anymore whether he had improved or
not.
When Annabelle looked at the breakfast, she nodded in approval, "You have some good improvement.
At the very least, this time you put the sugar and salt right!"
……
That doesn't sound like a compliment at all.
However, since Miss Xia had satisfied him earlier this morning, he shall let her off the hook.
At that time, Alistair's phone rang. When he took out the phone and saw the number, he frowned and
answered it.
"Hello…"
After a short moment, Alistair replied, "Okay, I understand. I will go over right now!"
After hanging up the phone, Annabelle looked at him and asked, "What's wrong? Did anything
happen?"
"The hospital called. Nancy had woken up and she wanted to see me!" Alistair answered.
When Annabelle heard that, she was stunned and she nodded, "Hurry and go then!"
"Come with me!"
"She wanted to see you, not me!" Annabelle answered.
"You are me and I am you…" As Alistair said that, he held Annabelle's hand. He looked at her sincerely
and interlocked their fingers.
Annabelle looked at him and smiled.
In the hospital.
Alistair and Annabelle walked inside the ward.
Nancy was lying in the bed while Madam Mu stood beside her.
Nancy was smiling when Annabelle and Alistair walked inside. But the moment she saw Annabelle
coming together, her smile tensed up.
Wasn't she gone?
Why was she appearing together with Alistair now?
Nancy stared at Annabelle and she seemed lost.
Alistair approached her and looked at her, "Are you up for a long? How do you feel? Do you feel any
discomfort anywhere?"
When Nancy heard his voice, she came back to her senses and shook her head.
"Sister Annabelle!" Nancy called out to her.
Annabelle walked forward and smiled at her, "How do you feel? Any better?"
Annabelle nodded, "Yeah, I feel good now!"
"Good to hear!"
"Sister Annabelle, about that day… Sorry…" Nancy said.
Annabelle simply smiled, "It's okay. Just focus on your recovery and get better soon!"
When Nancy saw that Annabelle had no interest to continue with the topic, she was agreeable and said
no more.
"I will!" She nodded.
"All right, you just woke up and you shouldn't speak so much. Rest more. What do you want to eat? Let
me go and buy for you!"
"I want to get discharged!" Nancy said.
When Alistair heard that, he frowned, "Nancy, don't be stubborn. When you get better, the hospital will
discharge you!"
Nancy looked at Alistair in upset but she didn't say anything.
At that time, Madam Mu looked at Nancy and said, "That's right, Nancy. You just woke up and you
should get more rest. You don't have to rush it, they will definitely discharge you when you get better!"
Since Madam Mu said that, Nancy nodded, "Okay!"
At that time, it was quiet in the ward and Annabelle's phone rang.
"I'll go out and take this!" After saying that, Annabelle walked out.
At that time, only three persons were left in the ward. Madam Mu looked at them and said, "Nancy, I'll
go get something for you to eat!"
After saying that, she smiled and walked out. Leaving them some privacy.
The mother closed the door and they were left alone in the ward.
Alistair looked at her and asked, "How are you feeling? Do you feel any discomfort anywhere?"
Nancy shook her head and looked at Alistair. His eyebrows lowered faintly as she hesitated for a while,
"Alistair…"
"Yes?" Alistair raised an eyebrow and looked at her.
"You and sister Annabelle… You guys…" Nancy didn't know how she should ask it. No matter how she
put her question, it wouldn't sound appropriate.
Alistair looked at her and smiled, "Don't worry, we are good. You don't have to worry about us!"
"Then, about us…"
If anyone were to hear that, they would definitely suspect something between them.
Alistair simply smiled, "She had known everything!"
When Nancy saw Alistair's smile, she felt a mixed feeling. The woman felt conflicted. She wanted
Annabelle to know yet at the same time, she wanted to keep that ambiguous relationship.
She wanted her to know that they were close together. But she didn't want Annabelle to know about
their past. She felt that it was something so private and she didn't want to share it. She felt a sourness
inside and she didn't like it at all.
When Alistair saw Nancy lowering her head and didn't say anything anymore, he said, "I promised her
that I will be honest in the future. I will not hide anything from her anymore!"
The man was considerate and thoughtful for Annabelle.
All his words were showing his affection and care for Annabelle.
What about their memories?!
Nancy was just sorrowful. But she couldn't voice her mind.
She nodded, "I understand!"
"Nancy…" At that time, Alistair stretched out his hand and caressed her hair gently, just like a brother, "I
missed the carefree and worriless Nancy, do you understand?" Alistair said.
Carefree and worriless?
Could they go back to the past just like that?
It is impossible!
She hadn't changed but he had!
"It is not easy at all. How could anyone remain a constant in the change of time?" Nancy said
indifferently. If she could control her emotion, she wouldn't have chosen this path.
"I believe as long as you are willing, you can definitely do it!" After saying that, Alistair withdrew his
hand from her head.
Nancy smiled bitterly, "Now? With my body like this, I'm afraid I don't even have the right…"
When Alistair heard that, his eyebrows furrowed deeply, "Nancy, why do you have such pessimistic
thoughts?"
"Isn't it so? This heart complication of mind might result in an acute heart failure anytime. I don't even
know how long I can live. Aside from daddy, I really don't know who else I have by my side!" Nancy
said.
"Nancy, stop speaking nonsense!" Alistair fumed as he looked at her, "You will definitely have another
man in your life aside from your daddy. He will protect you, love you and accept everything about you!"
"Who will love a person that will die anytime? Alistair, if sister Annabelle were to die anytime, will you
still love her?" Nancy asked.
When Alistair heard that question, he was stunned.
However, he wasn't contemplating on the answer. He was simply disturbed by the thought that if
Annabelle were to die, then…
Nancy didn't know why, but when she saw Alistair's hesitation, she felt a secret joy. So Alistair did not
love Annabelle as much as she imagined after all!
"I will. No matter how she turns out, I will continue to love her!"
Alistair answered suddenly. And Nancy was stunned after she heard the answer.
Alistair raised his gaze and looked at her, "If she is really dying, I will appreciate every second and
every minute with her even more. If that day really comes, I will die together with her…"
That answer shook Nancy.
Her heart was pounding rapidly.
Alistair would never lie like that. Nancy knew that well enough.
If he loves another person, he would give up everything to love her. If he didn't, he wouldn't even bother
to pretend.
Previously, Alistair had always acted carefree. She thought that it was his personality and he wouldn't
fall in love with anyone. Even if he did, that would most likely be he himself.
And now, could he really love Annabelle so much? If she were to die, he would die with her…?
Nancy was silent for a long while.
Alistair didn't say anything as well.
It was a deafening silence inside the ward.
Annabelle stood in front of the door and held her phone. She had overheard their conversation clearly.
And she did not miss a word of Alistair's reply.
His answer had shocked Nancy and overwhelmed Annabelle.
She had never expected him to think that way!
The woman was elated, moved and at the same time, completely overwhelmed!
All of her inner defenses crumbled right that moment.
Women are emotional creatures. At that moment, no one could stop her.
Annabelle came back to her senses. She held her phone and opened the door.
When the person inside saw Annabelle walking in, they came back to their senses as well.
"You're back!" Alistair said smilingly. As if they didn't have any serious topic at all.
Annabelle nodded and looked at Nancy, "Nancy, I'm so sorry but there is have something important
coming up. I'm afraid we have to leave now!"
Nancy looked at them and she was dispirited.
"Where are we going?" Alistair asked. He wasn't aware of what Annabelle was talking about.
Annabelle simply smiled, "Going to spend nine dollars!"
Nine dollars?
Alistair was perturbed.
Nancy was unable to react as well. Annabelle simply smiled and dragged Alistair out.
When they got to the hospital entrance, Alistair caught on.
He grabbed Annabelle suddenly and looked at her, "What did you say?"
Annabelle looked at him, "What now? You don't want it anymore?"
"The nine dollars you are referring…"
"What do you think?!" Annabelle asked back naughtily.
At that time, Alistair affirmed his guess and he was leaping in joy, "Have you agreed? You finally
decided to marry me?"
Annabelle stood there and watched how impassioned he was. He was even creating a scene.
"Mr. Mu, this is your second time already, be more low-profile please!" Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Second marriage? So what!?
Second marriage but the same person!
That wasn't anything shameful at all!
Now that Annabelle agreed to it so suddenly, how could he hold it in? There was no way he could
suppress the joy he was feeling!
"Annabelle…" Alistair hugged her tightly. He had finally waited for this moment!
Annabelle smiled and her mood was cheery.
Everyone said that a woman is most beautiful when she is in love. But woman is even more beautiful
when she is pregnant and in love!
Their love did not have a crack because of Nancy. Not only that, she made them cared for and trusted
each other even more!
Annabelle couldn't help but think to herself. If there happens to be a day that they stopped being
together. It wouldn't be because they stopped loving each other, but they loved each other too much
and chose give the other person a better life!
"Annabelle, in order to prevent you from changing your mind. We shall depart right away!"
After saying that, Alistair dragged her away.
"Where are we going?"
"Spending our nine dollars!"
"But… We didn't bring our passport!"
"Let's go home and take it right now!"
"You don't have to be in such a rush…" Annabelle said. She had to admit that she was somewhat
saying that on purpose in front of Nancy. However, mainly because she was just moved.
She wasn't making a rushed decision but she was just overwhelmed by that man!
"Annabelle, too many unexpected events had happened between us. In order to stop more from
happening, we should get it done as soon as possible!"
After saying that, Alistair opened the car door and made Annabelle sat inside. After closing the car
door, he moved around the car and sat inside. After that, he started the engine and drove away.
He drove home as fast as possible to get their passports!
