Chapter 631 Memory
Alistair knew what he was asking about and he answered with a smile, "My fiancée!"
When Brother Kaleb heard that, he nodded happily, "So that was it! I think we need to have a toast to
congratulate the two of you!"
"We are getting married soon and it was all over the news. Mr. Kaleb, didn't you hear about it?" Alistair
asked.
Brother Kaleb was stunned for a while and he said, "Sorry, I never read entertainment magazines!"
Alistair nodded and said, "So that's why!" He lifted his glass and looked at Brother Kaleb, and then he
took a sip.
"When are the two of you getting married?" Brother Kaleb asked.
"We haven't decided on the date yet but we are preparing for it!" Alistair said.
Brother Kaleb nodded, "The two of you match each other perfectly. If you have any needs, just say it!"
"Thank you!"
"Here, congratulations! My belated blessings!" After saying that, Brother Kaleb lifted his wineglass.
Annabelle and Alistair lifted their glass as well, "Mr. Kaleb, thank you very much. Hopefully you can
make it to the wedding ceremony!"
"All right, I most definitely will!"
After saying that, the three of them clinked their glasses and drank.
Everyone was saying that Brother Kaleb was an influential man and he came from the mobs. Annabelle
heard about the rumors as well. But as she was chatting with Brother Kaleb, she did not identify him as
a man like that. Not just that, she felt that he was… actually quite easy-going.
"Miss Xia, what do you think about the dishes?"
"Not bad, fresh and light, not oily at all!"
"Good to hear, I was afraid that you wouldn't like it!"
"It is great!"
Alistair sat beside and he observed that Brother Kaleb's attention was always around Annabelle. He
would care about her from time to time.
Alistair simply drank his wine and pondered, what was that Mr. Kaleb having in mind?
If he was targeting Annabelle, he had absolutely no need to use such a method. But if he wasn't… Why
was he giving such a weird feeling?
Outside the hotel.
"Brother Kaleb, thank you for the treat. Let us treat you back the next time!" Alistair said.
"All right, this man will look forward to it!" Brother Kaleb accepted happily.
"Yeah!"
At that time, a car drove over and parked in front of Brother Kaleb. Someone came down the car and
opened the door for him.
Brother Kaleb looked at them and asked, "Do you guys need a lift home?"
"There's no need, our car is right over there, we will go back ourselves!"
"All right, see you!"
"Be careful on your way back!"
Brother Kaleb nodded. The man glanced over at Annabelle, then got back into his car.
Annabelle stood there and maintained a smile. When the car drove away, Alistair said, "All right, stop
looking, we should go back as well!"
Annabelle nodded and the two of them got into the car and drove away.
Alistair didn't say anything on their way back. He was holding the steering wheel with one hand. He had
none whatsoever expression on his face and no one could tell what he was thinking.
Whenever Alistair kept quiet, it was mostly due to two situations. The first one, he was in deep thought,
the second, he was unhappy.
It was obvious that Alistair was thinking hard.
"What are you thinking?" Annabelle asked.
At that time, Alistair turned his head over and looked at her, "What do you think?"
"You want me to guess?"
Alistair did not deny and nodded. There was still some time before they reached home, they were
thinking of a topic to kill time.
Annabelle pondered for a moment and said, "If I'm not wrong, it is about that Mr. Kaleb, right?"
When Alistair heard that, he squinted and looked at Annabelle, "Since when are you able to read my
mind?"
"That means I was right!"
Alistair nodded.
"What about him?" Annabelle asked.
Alistair pondered for a while and said, "I simply think that his appearance was too coincidental!"
When Annabelle heard that, she recalled something as well, "I heard from the workers that he made a
sudden decision to work with Yun Rui. If you are suspicious towards him, why are you working together
with him?"
When Alistair heard that, his lips curled up, "I do not doubt that collaboration. I have reviewed the
contract properly and there was no problem. It was indeed a win-win situation!"
"Then are you suspecting his character?"
Alistair was in silent acquiescence.
"If there is a problem with his character, you would definitely have a problem in the collaboration.
Because work was based on a person's character!"
"I wasn't suspecting his character…" Alistair turned his head over and looked at Annabelle. His eyes
were reflecting his hesitation.
"Don't you think he seemed to be very interested in you?"
"In me?!" Annabelle raised an eyebrow and asked.
Alistair nodded. The man had been observing closely during the dinner. Brother Kaleb was very
‘interested' in Annabelle.
Annabelle simply smiled, "Probably that was because I saved him!"
"Probably!" Alistair answered indifferently.
At that time, Annabelle smiled and wrapped her arms around Alistair. She leaned on his body and said,
"Mr. Mu, don't tell me you are jealous because of an old man!"
When Alistair saw Annabelle leaning over, he smiled, "Correction! Not jealous but worry."
"Don't forget about Brother Kaleb's mobster background. He is a dangerous person. If he has any
secret agendas towards you, I wouldn't be able to react in time. What if anything were to happen to you
again?" Alistair said. And he grabbed Annabelle's hand tighter.
Annabelle knew that he was worried and she simply smiled, "You are overthinking. I don't think he will
do anything to harm his benefactor. Moreover, I didn't feel even the slightest ill intention from him. If he
really had a hidden agenda, I would be able to feel it!"
"Miss Xia, you are too innocent!"
"Mr. Mu, please believe in a woman's intuition!"
"Okay, but no matter what, you must promise me to maintain a safe distance with him!" Alistair said.
Annabelle considered for a while and nodded, "I think after this, we wouldn't meet again anyway!"
"That's for the best!"
As the two of them were talking, they reached home.
They weren't in a hurry to go to bed and they simply sat in the balcony. There were two chairs and a
recliner in the balcony. The two of them were enjoying some quality time drinking red wine.
"In another words, you have decided to work with him?" Annabelle asked.
"Why not? I've taken a look at the project and it was a win-win situation. Even if anything happened and
it became a loss, it wasn't substantial to me. Moreover, Prosperity is a big company. I believe that the
collaboration will turn out just fine!" Alistair said.
As Annabelle listened to him, she nodded.
Although she wasn't aware about the project details, she knew that Alistair wouldn't do it without
sizeable profits.
The man wouldn't let any business opportunities slip away.
Alistair was a businessman. Not just any ordinary businessman but he was in the top tier, best of the
best businessman!
Annabelle smiled as she looked at him, "Mr. Mu, then I shall wish you good luck!" After saying that, she
lifted her red wine.
Alistair looked at her and clinked with her glass. The two of them took a sip.
After they drank for a bit, Alistair looked at Annabelle and said, "Miss Xia, I noticed a problem all of a
sudden!"
"What is it?"
"Did you gain weight?"
Annabelle, "……" The woman immediately checked herself, "Really?"
Alistair nodded, "Really!"
Annabelle frowned and looked at herself. But she couldn't tell any difference, "I don't even have a good
appetite the past few days, how can I gain weight?"
At that time, Alistair moved closer suddenly and whispered by her ear, "Do you have…?"
"Have…what?"
Annabelle was stunned.
Alistair grinned and caressed her stomach, "Do you have a little Alistair or little Annabelle here…?"
When Annabelle heard that, she came to a sudden realization. After that, she blushed and said, "What
are you talking about, of course not!"
"Really?"
Annabelle nodded, "Of course!"
"We have been together for quite some time already and we have never used any protection. How can
that be?" Alistair asked.
Annabelle smiled and shook her head, "I don't know…"
"You don't know? Hmm…"
Annabelle nodded.
"I think it's because we haven't been working hard enough. I think today seemed to be a good day for
me to try harder!" After saying that, he lowered his wine glass and carried Annabelle up from her
recliner.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
"Hey! What are you doing?" Annabelle asked while laughing.
"I have decided to try harder for little Alistair or little Annabelle!" After saying that, he ignored
Annabelle's protest and carried her inside the bedroom.
It was a passionate night.
On the other side.
Inside a huge room.
Brother Kaleb sat behind his desk and there was a huge mess on the table, all pictures.
Not only that, there was a file. An entire file about Annabelle.
When the man was studying the pictures, his eyebrows furrowed deeply.
It was unbelievable to find another person of such striking resemblance.
At that time, the door was opened and Hua came inside. The moment he saw Brother Kaleb, he said,
"Brother Kaleb, it's getting late now. You should rest earlier!"
"Hua, do you think it is possible for two persons to be so alike?" It was Dawson Xiao's picture on one
side and Annabelle's picture on the other side. Although it was taken in different timeline, it was
obvious that their resemblance was as high as eighty percent.
Hua knew what Brother Kaleb meant. After looking at those pictures, he said, "Brother Kaleb, haven't
you already investigated Miss Xia's background? There was no problem at all. You shouldn't overthink!"
When Brother Kaleb heard that, he sighed and had a sorrowful expression.
He looked at Dawson Xiao's picture and said, "It had been more than twenty years. I had wronged her.
If it wasn't for me, we might..."
