Chapter 663 Unfair


    The car racing resulted in an ident. Nancy had a heart condition and she almost lost her life during


    that ident. It was fortunate that she got on herself a suitable heart for a transnt…


    All the way until now.


    She would always face theplications of organ exclusion from time to time and she couldn''t get


    emotional at all.


    Therefore, all these while he felt responsible towards Nancy and he had been cosseting her. If it wasn''t


    for him, Nancy wouldn''t have to live the rest of her life in such difficulty.


    In the ward.


    Alistair looked at Nancy as she lied quietly in the bed. The man had a grim expression.


    The mother and the grandmother didn''t expect Alistair to have a past like that. It was also beyond their


    imagination that Nancy ended up like that because of Alistair.


    It waspletely silent in the ward.


    Annabelle was equally shocked to find out about the truth. However, even if Alistair was guilt ridden


    and he felt responsible, that did not justify his acts of hiding the truth from her.


    When Nancy''s condition stabilized, they left.


    On the way back, Alistair drove and Annabelle sat next to him. None of them said anything.


    When their car reached downstairs, Alistair parked and stopped the car. He turned his head over and


    looked at Annabelle, "That was my past with Nancy. Now you know everything!"


    Annabelle sat quietly and she didn''t show any expression aside from nodding slightly.


    The quieter and calmer she was, the more Alistair was worried and fearful. He was scared to lose her


    for real…


    At that time, Alistair stretched out his hand and held Annabelle''s hand, "I know I should have told you


    right away. I was at fault for not telling you honestly. That was because I didn''t know how I should say


    it. Annabelle, sorry… Please forgive me!" Alistair said sincerely.


    When Annabelle heard his apology, her heart softened a little.


    "We have talked about it before. No matter what happened, we must make sure to tell each other


    everything. We agreed to be honest and truthful. And now, I don''t know if we still can honor those


    words and promises… I don''t know if I can still trust you and expect you to be truthful!" Annabelle


    looked forward and said indifferently.


    When Alistair heard that, he was anxious, "I didn''t want to hide it from you and I simply wanted to wait


    after she left. I hadn''t expected so much to happen in between. And it was beyond my wildest dream


    that it would hurt our rtionship. Annabelle, please give me another chance. I will prove it to you…"


    Annabelle was silent.


    Alistair gripped her hand tightly, "Annabelle, please don''t give me the death penalty because of one


    mistake. Please give me a period of remission. Moreover, a death penalty was too much for what I did!"


    "You don''t know but after you disappeared, I wentpletely crazy. I was so fearful that you would just


    leave me like that!" Alistair said.


    Annabelle continued to remain silent.


    "Annabelle, please give me another chance to make things right!" Alistair stared at her and he was


    doing an emotional appeal.


    The ever so arrogant Alistair was willing to humble himself so much. How could anyone not be moved?


    Annabelle turned her head slowly towards him. After considering for a long while, she said, "Honesty is


    of utmost importance to me. I do not wish to have suspicion and doubt in the future. If that is the case, I


    am willing to drop this rtionship!"


    "The stupidest thing I have ever done in my life is to hid the truth from you!" The man said.


    "Therefore, if something like this were to happen again, you should leave automatically!" Annabelle


    said.


    When Alistair heard that, he was shocked and ted at the same time. He stared intently at her and


    said, "I guarantee it won''t happen again. I will never leave you for the rest of my life!"


    After hearing that, Annabelle nodded.


    When Alistair saw her expression, he was exhrated, "Are you not angry anymore? Have you forgiven


    me?"


    "What do you think?"


    Alistair smiled and hugged her tightly, "Annabelle, for the rest of our life, even the next lives, I will never


    leave you again, nor give you another chance or reason to leave me!" After saying that, he tightened


    his hug.


    Annabelle smiled and didn''t say anything.


    Actually, from the very start, Annabelle was simply feeling a slight difort inside. If it weren''t for her


    pregnancy, she would have cleared things up with Alistair long ago.


    But ever since getting pregnant, they had less chance and time tomunicate. But it is fine now that


    they had cleared things up.


    However, this should be thest time.


    Annabelle wouldn''t be able to tolerate anything like that in her rtionship. At least, she was thankful


    that Alistair didn''t cheat on her emotionally and physically. It was all just due to guilt and responsibility.


    He was forgivable but she would only give one chance.


    As the two hugged each other, at that instant Alistair felt that his heart wasn''t hollow anymore.


    At home.


    Annabelle sat on the couch and Alistair apanied her by the side. He was excited as he looked at


    her belly, "How old is he now? When did you find out about it?" Alistair asked.


    Annabelle sat there and asked, "What now? Are you suspecting that it isn''t yours?"


    When Alistair heard that, the man simply gave her an eye roll. But Annabelleughed heartily. Alistair


    got closer and stared at Annabelle''s stomach, "I am the one that know him the best. He is the fruit of


    my relentless hard work!" After saying that, he looked at Annabelle''s stomach and said, "Son, is daddy


    right?"


    Annabelle chuckled, "How do you know that it is a boy? What if it is a girl?"


    "It doesn''t matter if it is a son or daughter, as long as I''m the father!"


    Annabelle smiled and looked at him, "All right now, it hasn''t been a month. You will need to wait if you


    want to be a father!"


    When Alistair heard that, he felt that life was indeed fascinating. He sat down and pondered to himself.


    He was merely twenty-seven years old and he became a father. Just the thought of that made him feel


    excited. The man hadn''t prepared himself for that.


    "Annabelle, don''t you think life is rather intriguing? All of a sudden we are bing father and mother.


    Are we getting old now?" Alistair looked at Annabelle and asked.


    Annabelle had a simr thought. Just some time ago, she was passionately in love with Alistair. Now all


    of a sudden they are bing parents. That feeling was just peculiar.


    "It is fascinating indeed and I am still a little caught off guard!" Annabelle said that. When she first found


    out about the news, she was worried and even fearful. However, all that she was feeling right now was


    anticipation.


    Alistair looked at Annabelle and he knew that he had wronged her. He stretched out his hand and


    hugged her, "No matter what, both you and him are God''s blessing for me. I will make sure to


    appreciate and take care of the two of you properly!" Alistair said.


    Annabelle leaned on him. When she heard that, she tilted her head and asked, "Really?"


    Alistair nodded.


    "Then you should work hard from now!" Annabelle chuckled.


    When Alistair heard that, his eyes squinted as he stared at Annabelle. He could feel that something is


    "From today onwards, you will be the man settling the breakfast, lunch and dinner!"


    "What?" Alistair thought that he just heard her wrongly.


    "You should know that pregnant woman shouldn''t eat outside food. Those are unhealthy and unclean.


    Therefore, we will have to trouble you to prepare it in the future!"


    "But I don''t know how!" Alistair said helplessly. There were two things that he didn''t know how to do.


    The first would be to give birth and the second would be to work in the kitchen.


    "You can learn. I believe you can definitely do that!" Annabelle encouraged him.


    "Annabelle…"


    "You are the one that said you would take care of us. Moreover, it isn''t for me but also for your son…"


    After saying that, Annabelle pointed towards her stomach and made a carefree expression.


    Now that everything that came from her stomach was the imperial edict, the royal decree. Alistair had


    no right to refuse.


    In the end, he nodded in resolution, "I''ll do it!"


    Annabelle chuckled, "Then I shall leave all the housework in your hands from now on!"


    "My dear, then will you be the one that earns our household expenses?"


    "I believe you can handle both excellently!"


    "Do you believe me so much?"


    Annabelle nodded hurriedly.


    "Since I am going to work hard, shouldn''t you give me somepensation?" After saying that, Alistair


    moved closer. Annabelle knew what he wanted to do and sheughed while moving back. Alistair


    simply pulled her closer and hugged her. After that, he kissed her lips indulgingly.


    They kissed passionately…


    After a long time, Alistair released her.


    His eyes were gleaming brightly and he stared right into Annabelle''s eyes. With a deep voice, he said,


    "Yes, thank you foring back… It is the happiest thing in this world for me that you still care for me!"


    "I don''t even dare to imagine if I lose you. I don''t want a world without you. Therefore, thank you for


    Annabelle''s long eyshes fluttered lightly. After hearing what he said, she smiled, "My heart had


    never left you!"


    That was probably the most beautiful words of love in this world.


    Alistair hugged Annabelle tightly into his arms. Annabelle leaned on his chest and felt his nervousness


    and care.


    The two of them stayed there for some time. After that, Annabelle asked, "How do you n to handle


    Nancy''s situation?"


    The moment Alistair heard that name, his eyes dimmed, "She ended in such a situation because of me


    and I have no way to shirk my responsibility. When her condition stabilizes, I want to send her back.


    She should be better off away from here!"


    Annabelle didn''t know what to say and she nodded, "Okay!"


    With what happened, they just couldn''t be selfish. Nancy ended up in such a bad condition because of


    Alistair. If they were to stop caring for her and forced her to leave, that was just heartless. Both


    Annabelle and Alistair weren''t people like that.


    Previously Annabelle was angered but she wasn''t jealous. She felt that her rtionship was filled with


    dishonesty. Now that they have made things clear, things had gotten much easier.


    At that time, Alistair looked at her and said, "You don''t have to worry. I will love you and only you for the


    rest of my life!"


    "Mr. Mu, I am no longer a school girl. It is fine that we stay together or otherwise. I simply need a clear


    statement. I think there is no need to give me a lifelong promise so easily!"


    When Alistair heard that, his eyebrows knitted closely. He turned his head over and pinched her chin


    while dering overbearingly, "Annabelle, I solemnly swear that if I fall in love to anyone else aside


    from you, then I will bear the worst kind of retribution and die a dog''s death…"


    Annabelle did not cover up his lips or stop him from continuing hypocritically. She simply stared at him


    and smiled.


    "You don''t believe me?"


    Annabelle nodded and her gaze was clear, "I do!"


    Alistair smiled in satisfaction and released her.


    At that time, Annabelle leaned on his shoulder and blinked her eyes, "Mr. Mu, I am thirsty~ why should


    I do?"


    Alistair tilted his head and looked at Annabelle, "Your Highness, please wait a while!" After saying that,


    he took a deep breath and epted his new fate while walking to the kitchen.


    Annabelle sat on the couch and looked at Alistair''s back view. Her lips curled up in contentment.


    In a short moment, Alistair brought a ss of water for her, "Not too hot, not too cold, just nice!"


    "Thank you!"


    "You''re wee!"


    Alistair sat right beside her and looked at her, "Annabelle…"


    "Yes?" Annabelle was drinking as she raised her gaze to look at him.


    "Let''s get married. Let''s go register our marriage!" Alistair said.


    Annabelle was stunned as she held the cup.


    "Let''s get married!" Alistair stared intently into Annabelle''s eyes and repeated sincerely.


    Annabelle bit her lips and looked at Alistair. After hesitating for a while, she said, "Let''s wait after all


    these are done and we will talk about it!"


    "Are you hesitating?"


    "I just didn''t want to rush things!"


    Alistair looked at Annabelle and nodded, "Okay, we will wait a little longer!"


    He knew that after what happened, Annabelle would feel insecure and hesitate. But he would make


    sure to solve her uneasiness by his actions.


    That topic stopped and none of them continued.


    Alistair did not go to thepany and the couple nested at home for the entire morning. In the


    afternoon, Annabelle looked at Alistair and said, "Mr. Mu, shouldn''t you start cooking now?"


    Although Alistair had epted the quest valiantly, he realized that he really didn''t know how to do it…


    However, now that he epted the challenge, he would definitely get it done.


    "Okay, just wait for a while. I''ll go get the ingredients!"


    "Remember to buy a cookery book as well. I do not wish to be your instructor!" Annabelle joked


    naughtily.


    Alistair gave her an eye roll, "You think cooking can cause trouble for someone as great as me?"


    "Mr. Mu, then I shall wait for your good work!"


    Alistair smiled. Before he left the house, his phone rang.


    When Alistair saw the number, he picked it up.


    "Hello…"


    After answering the call, Alistair''s lips curled up and he looked at Annabelle, "Okay, I got it!"


    After the short conversation, he hung up.


    "Who was that?"


    Alistair walked closer and rested his arms on the couch, "Miss Xia, it seems that luck isn''t on your side


    today. Grandma called and asked us to go home to eat!"


    "Right now?"


    Alistair nodded, "They are waiting for us!"


    Annabelle pondered for a while and nodded, "Okay, I''ll let you escape today!"


    Alistair smiled and the two of them walked out together.


    Alistair felt that Annabelle looked great in casual wear. Or probably that was because of his good


    mood.


    Half an hourter, the young couple reached the Mu House.


    The moment they reached, the meal was prepared.


    "Youngdy, you''re back!" Even auntie Li felt that it had been a long while since shest saw


    Annabelle.


    "Hello, auntie Li!" Annabelle smiled and walked inside.


    The grandmother and the parents were all there.


    The Mu family didn''t have a lot of members but their rtionship was close. That was truly a blessing.


    After Annabelle walked inside, a smile blossomed on the grandmother''s face, "Annabelle, you finally


    came! Hurry and sit with me!"


    Annabelle smiled as she walked over, "Grandma!"


    "I didn''t get to talk to you properly in the hospital earlier. Let me take a good look at you! Dear me, you


    have lost so much weight!" The grandmother said heavy heartedly. She would never hide her affection


    towards Annabelle.


    "Not at all!"


    At that time, the grandmother turned her head back and red at Alistair, "You brat, if you dare to make


    Annabelle angry again, you can find a new grandma already. I don''t want a stupid grandson like you!"


    Alistair raised his eyebrows and said, "Grandma, I have agreed to a series of unequal treaties. We


    almost sign a contract for that!"


    "Then, did you sign it?"


    "… No."


    The grandmother turned over and looked at Annabelle, "Annabelle, you should make him sign on that


    and get awyer to endorse it. Let''s see if this brat dares to offend you again!"


    Alistair, "…"


    Was that really his own grandmother?


    "Alright alright, let''s gather around the dining table. Let''s continue to discuss while we eat!" The


    grandmother said.


    And the family seated themselves down.


    During the meal, the grandmother and Madam Mu kept briefing Annabelle about the cares and


    concerns of pregnancy while Zen and Alistair simply looked at each other quietly. There was just no


    room for them to butt in their conversation and they ate quietly.


    The three women was chatting non-stop even after the dinner. But it was mostly the grandmother and


    Madam Mu speaking while Annabelle listened and took notes.


    Zen called Alistair and went to his study room upstairs.


    "Dad, is there anything you wish to tell me?" Alistair asked.


    "Have a seat!"


    Têxt belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    Alistair sat opposite the father.


    "I have heard about you and Nancy. Have you decided what you should do?" Zen asked.


    The moment he mentioned that, Alistair''s smile slowly subsided. His gorgeous face seemed lost,


    "Everything Nancy is experiencing now was because of me. I do not think I am able to shirk off any


    responsibility. I wish to wait until she gets better and I''ll send her back!"


    When Zen heard that, he nodded in agreement.


    "I believe that is the only way now. You must be careful, one couldn''t get everything they want in life!"


    "Dad, I have never wanted to have everything. Annabelle is the only one I want. As for Nancy, I had


    never felt that way for her!" Alistair said in certainty.


    Whenever he remembered about the difficulties Nancy experienced because of his mistakes, and she


    had even saved him in the face of danger, there was no way that Alistair could steel his heart to cut her


    off.


    "You didn''t feel that way but that doesn''t mean the feeling is mutual. You should understand that


    feelings grow in time. Moreover, I believe you could tell her intention!" Zen said. No matter how difficult


    it may be, Alistair must make the choice and that would be the best way.


    Alistair was stunned for a while. He raised his gaze and looked at Zen. After sometime, he nodded in


    agreement, "I understand, hence, I have decided to get married with Annabelle!"


    Zen was stunned. The father recalled that Annabelle was currently pregnant. If they were to drag their


    marriage, it would be inconvenient when her stomach grew bigger.


    Moreover, they could get Nancy to drop her one-sided feeling.


    "That is a good solution!" Zen nodded in agreement.


    "I want to marry Annabelle because I love her and I want to be with her. It wasn''t because it was a


    solution to a problem. No matter when and where or because of what, she will always be my wife and


    that wouldn''t change!" The man was fearful that Annabelle would leave him again. Therefore, he


    believed that it was the best method and he couldn''te up with anything better.


    Zen looked at Alistair and nodded agreeably, "I understand. If this is the case, you should do as you


    will. But I must remind you, no matter what you do in the future, you must make sure to gauge


    carefully!"


    Alistair nodded, "I understand!"


    The father and son were silent for a while. At that time, Alistair recalled something all of a sudden and


    he looked at Zen, "By the way, dad, who is this Dawson Xiao? Do you know her?"


    The moment Zen heard that name, his eyebrows furrowed deeply. He stared at Alistair in disbelief,


    "You, why are you asking this?"
