My Killing President novel Chapter 42

However on the other hand, Annabelle was completely unaware about all of this.

Not only was she downright uninterested with Alistair, she desperately dreaded and wanted to stay away from him, as much as possible!

Annabelle had brought out many different sides of Alistair and Yoi just couldn’t take that. Ergo, a seed of hatred was sowed in her heart and she conspiratorially made a decision…

On the other side of the table.

“Hey bro, what you said will cause misunderstanding!” Annabelle pouted her face and complained.

“You are afraid that he might misunderstand?”

“Of course not, but Mu isn’t an easy person to deal with. You shouldn’t do anything unnecessary!” Annabelle retorted. Two years ago, Mu was simply egoistic and conceited. Now, he was like a changed man, shrouded in mysterious enigma…

“It was all to protect you!” Ralphy asserted.

“What do you mean?”

“Nothing!” Ralphy continued, “Just remember, I will protect you. Incident like two years ago will not happen again, I promise!”

Although Annabelle felt odd, she held back her curiosity when she saw Ralphy’s genuine conviction. A grateful smile blossomed on her face. To have a guardian angel that care and safe keep oneself is a true joy and blessing.

Her two years in London had taught her to be headstrong and independent, she respected his goodwill and kept her thoughts to herself.

“Annabelle, listen to me and quit your job. Come back to our company and help out your brother. If you continue to stay at Yun Rui, eventually he will find out about that!” Ralphy preached relentlessly.

He couldn’t help but worry, now Annabelle had turned out to be so attractive compared to last time. And a gut feeling was telling him Alistair had an obsession towards her. Ralphy didn’t like the way he looked at her that resembles the fervour of a hungry lion at a little lamb.

“Now I have important matters at hand, I can’t just quit like that!”

“But have you thought about the consequences? What if he finds out? It definitely wouldn’t end well!” Ralphy fretted.

Annabelle responded with a confident smile, “We were divorced. Even if he DOES find out, what can he do?”

What she said was sensible and Ralphy couldn’t find more to quibble.

Sigh, if only things were as simple as she said.

Coming from a fellow man, Ralphy was positive that the interest displayed by Mu towards Annabelle was not innocent.

Moreover, that Yoi was also an involute woman. How can Annabelle, so pure and simple like a child dwell in a wolves’ lair!?

Ralphy rubbed his temple perturbingly. Seeing as how determined Annabelle was, there was no stopping the young lady.

“Alright, do as you see fit. I’ll only ask for one thing, call me if anything happens!” He gave in.

“Don’t worry,” Annabelle gave him an old man’s pat, “When I’m done with my things, I promise to go back!”

“Ok!” He nodded enthusiastically. Finally, a music to his ears.

Once the food was served, they stopped their discussion and indulged in their meal. They were pleasantly surprised at the good food, and thrilled to hear so many stories from each other; some made them laugh, some made them teary.

“You are now a grown-lady, but still so careless with your table etiquette!” Ralphy giggled at the rice grain stuck on her chin, and he wiped it off gently with his finger. She flashed her teeth and tee-heed.

Little did they knew, their close intimacy had made a certain someone tightened his jaw, and a flame of jealousy was ignited…
