Chapter 37 Thoughtful
“Of course, I remember everything you like!”
Annabelle was a little moved. As she smiled it was as if the whole world smiled together.
“Oh right! How was dad and mum?”
“As good as a tick on a big, fat dog!” Ralphy replied jovially, “Why didn’t you go home?”
The mood immediately gloomed. Annabelle looked down and kept her lips sealed.
“Are you still angry about what happened?” Ralphy asked softly.
Annabelle raised her eyes to meet his gaze, and slowly shook her head. “It’s not that… I still have
things to do and I don’t want to go back, at least not for now.”
Annabelle has always been stubborn and headstrong. Her dogged determination was no joke and
Ralphy knew that perfectly well growing up with her.
He too, did not wish to force her beloved sister.
“How is the company?” Annabelle tried to avert the topic.
“Everything is doing well. At the company and at home,” He replied tonelessly.
“Did Alistair cause any trouble for the company?” Her body leaned anxiously forward.
Ralphy shook his head, “No he didn’t.”
Annabelle rested back on her chair. She was pleasantly surprised, that Mu was quite the man of his
words.
“Annabelle, why not follow me home? Dad and mum would be delighted to see you!” Ralphy carefully
put his words together to hearten her up.
“Brother, I have my own reason not to. When the timing is right, I will definitely go back!” Annabelle
responded with uncompromising determination.
“So let it be then. I do not wish to force you as well.” Ralphy smiled bitterly. He knew if he tried any
further it would just upset his little sister.
“Promise me not to let them know!” Annabelle frowned and said firmly.
“Alright I will…”
“Brother, please have faith in me. Everything I do is for the sake of our family!” She warbled
unsmilingly. Her eyes radiated a fierce determination.
Ralphy knew when his sister got serious. He nodded supportively and held her hand, “Alright, I got you.
But promise me, if anything were to happen you must tell me immediately, NO SECRET!”
“I promise!”
Only then Ralphy was able to ease back a little.
Meanwhile, their coffees were served.
Annabelle was stirring her coffee when her brother suddenly blurted out a question, “Oh by the way,
where are you working now?”
Annabelle’s gesture stopped and she averted her eyes to the side.
Umm…
Anyway she knew she was unable to keep this secret and she gritted her teeth and purred softly, “Yun
Rui…”
Ralphy thought he heard mistakenly. But as he met with Annabelle’s reaffirming gaze, he took a
shocking mind blow.
“Isn’t that Alistair’s company!?”
Annabelle nodded.
“So you are back together with him!?” He frowned. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
“No! He couldn’t even recognize me. Nor does he know my identity.” Annabelle explained.
“What do you mean?” And Ralphy squinted his eyes, his eyebrows pressed together even closely.
“He has no whatsoever recollection of me being his ex-wife. Rest assured!” Annabelle explained and
busted a titter?
Ralphy’s expression resembled that of the confused Jacky Chan. But he eventually found credibility in
her words, after all, not even he, her own brother recognized her just now!
Annabelle looked so much different now than when she married Mu!
But even so, for her husband to fail so utterly until he couldn’t even recognize his ex-wife standing
before him, that just showed how bad their relationship was…
“Are you absolutely sure he couldn’t remember?” Ralphy unmindfully put his palm on his chest, as if his
heart was feeling weak after the roller-coaster storytelling.
Annabelle nodded mechanically, “Actually I joined his company unknowingly, and I am sure he didn’t
have a clue! Don’t worry!”
Ralphy nodded in approval. However, his eyes narrowed to a slit and he had an idea in
mind… lightnoveldaily.com.
