Chapter 680 Diamond
When Annabelle saw that Ralphy was uninterested to continue the conversation, she decided to leave
it at that. The woman left after bidding him goodbye.
After Annabelle left, Ralphy''s eyes were shrouded with pain.
If he could just do it, why would things ended up this way?
In the night, Ralphy surprised Renee An with a call. He invited her for dinner.
When Renee An received the call, she was just exhrated. She hurriedly dressed herself up and got
out.
Ever since they got married, they had never eaten alone before. All the more a romantic candlelight
dinner!
Under the setting, Renee An''s heart was just pounding rapidly in joy. She would raise her gaze and
look at Ralphy from time to time. After a while, she managed to calm herself down. She couldn''t help
but wonder why would Ralphy invite her for dinner so suddenly.
However, she didn''t ask him that question because she was afraid to ruin the moment.
Ralphy ate quietly. The man was eating with elegant table etiquette. Every gesture of his looked as if it
was from the movie. However, it looked so natural andfortable when he did it.
The gods were unfair that he made such a perfect man. What would others think when put to
"What were you thinking about?" Ralphy didn''t need to raise his head to know the woman had been
staring at him.
"Huh?" Renee An was taken by surprised. She blushed as if he had just found out her secret.
"It''s, it''s nothing!" She continued to eat.
"Why all of a sudden that you want to eat outside?" She asked softly.
When Ralphy heard that, he raised his head and asked, "You don''t like it?"
"Not that!" She said that almost instantaneously. But she realized that she was trying too hard and she
exined slowly, "I was simply curious!"
"If you like it, we can do it once every week!" He said casually.
"Really?" Renee An couldn''t help but let out a cheer of joy.
Ralphy nodded. The woman was just ted.
It was the most ordinary thing for any couple but she would feelpletely contended whenever
Ralphy shows her the slightest bit of attention.
As she was eating, she couldn''t even control her lips from curling up all the time. However, at the same
time, she was a little disturbed by Ralphy''s abrupt changes.
Did Annabelle talk to him?
Otherwise, why would he invite her for a dinner? Although they still didn''t talk much, it was much better
than previously.
Maybe she did!
Although Annabelle wasn''t her real sister, she seemed to be treating her just fine. Renee An could
understand why the Xia husband and wife love Annabelle so much.
She should just listen to Annabelle, that Ralphy was a slow person.
As she thought about that, she felt morefortable inside. She simply needed to convince herself
that she needed to wait patiently for the man to ept her.
After the dinner, the two of them went back together.
Right after Ralphy got in the house, his phone rang. He picked up and put it by his ear, "Hello…"
"Okay, got it!" Renee An saw that Ralphy''s expression turned grim and he seemed to be disturbed.
"Ralphy, what happened?"
"You should go back to the room and rest first. I''ll go to the study room for a video conference!" Ralphy
said.
Renee An nodded and replied, "Okay!"
After that, Ralphy rushed to his study room.
Renee An stood there and watched the man''s back. She knew he was always serious with his work so
she didn''t ask any questions and simply went back her room to rest.
She was happy enough to be able to eat together with Ralphy. After taking a shower and lying in bed,
she was still smiling uncontrobly.
After a long while, Ralphy still didn''t go back to the room. She brought a ss of milk to his room.
However, when she was standing outside, she heard that the man was busy inside. She was afraid to
interrupted him and she brought a ss of milk back.
Now that she knew the man was working seriously, she felt happy. In the end, she fell asleep while
waiting for him.
She didn''t even know when Ralphy came back…
……
The same night.
Annabelle lied on the couch and rested her head on Alistair''s legs.
Alistair was feeding her fruit cutlets and Annabelle simply needed to open her mouth.
The share transfer agreement was on the desk.
"Annabelle, you don''t have to do anything and you became one of the wealthiest person in A city!"
Alistair said enviously. The man had done everything he could and worked his ass off to get what he
had.
Now that Annabelle didn''t lift a finger and she obtained twenty percent of the shares of both

And her worth just skyrocketed like that.
When Annabelle heard that, she raised her head and her eyes were widening, "Who said I didn''t do
anything?"
"What have you done?"
"I managed to settle you!"
…
Alistair nodded seriously, "That is true. It seems that the old saying is urate!"
"What?"
"Men needs to conquer the world. But women simply needed to conquer men!"
Annabelle broke into aughter, "What does that make a woman sound so worthless!?"
"Not at all, I was giving mypliments!" As he said that, he lowered his head and got closer to
Annabelle. Their faces were in just a part, "Annabelle, he simply need to conquer me…"
As he said that, he kissed her lips gently.
Annabelle smiled.
She was agreeable to what the man said. After all, she didn''t do anything at all and ended up with so
much shares.
But how could she be restful holding so much shares while doing nothing?
"Why? You don''t want it?" Alistair raised an eyebrowzily and asked. The man understood Annabelle
very well.
Annabelle shook her head, "I am simply ufortable to take all these without any contribution. What
do you think.
"Annabelle, if you could just learn to be a little more selfish, you would be the happiest person in this
world!" Alistair said mirthfully.
Annabelle chuckled, "All right then, I shall be selfish for once and do nothing!"
"That''s more like it! After all, you have me!"
Annabelle nodded with a smile. The woman was just filled with joy and happiness.
At that time, Alistair''s phone rang and it was vibrating on the desk.
When Annabelle heard that, she got up and moved away. Alistair went to take his phone and sat back
down. Annabelle rested her head back on his legs just like earlier.
"Hello…" The man''s deep and charming voice was heard.
"Really? Okay, got it!" Alistair''s lips curled up and he seemed to be very happy.
After hanging up the call, Annabelle looked at him and asked, "What happened?"
"The wedding gown reached. We can go and try it out tomorrow!" Alistair caressed her hair and said
gently.
Annabelle was surprised. Although it wasn''t her first marriage, it was the first time she will be wearing a
wedding gown. The woman couldn''t help but look forward towards the wedding ceremony and wearing
the wedding gown.
Every woman would have such fantasy and Annabelle wasn''t excluded.
"What do you mean it reached?" Annabelle sat up and stared at him intently.
"I had custom ordered one from Paris. It reached this evening and we can go to try it out tomorrow!"
Alistair said.
Annabelle was stunned. She had never asked Alistair anything about the wedding preparation and that
included the wedding gown. She knew that Alistair would get everything done but she was still
surprised to hear that he custom ordered her wedding gown from Paris.
"You ordered it from Paris? What if the size doesn''t match? … Considering my situation now, I might
gain weight anytime!" Annabelle said.
"I have thought about it and they gave me an adjustable size. Even if you were to gain another five
kilos, you would be able to wear it!" Alistair said smilingly. His eyes were gleaming in gentleness and
Annabelle just fell for him all over again.
She hadn''t expected Alistair to be so thoughtful. She just didn''t need to worry about anything at all.
The woman couldn''t even begin to describe how moved she was. She moved closer and expressed it
with her actions, holding Alistair''s face and kissed him.
Although Alistair had ‘trained'' her for some time, her kissing skill was still just so-so. In the end, Alistair
grabbed the back of her head and kissed her back even more passionately…
When they were drunk in passion, Alistair''s fingers slipped inside her dress. Annabelle hurriedly moved
away and said breathlessly, "Mr. Mu, we still can''t do it..."
And so, her words shattered the atmosphere and the man had no choice but to hold himself back. He
helped her to pull down the dress that he just pulled up.
When Annabelle looked at his sour expression, she broke into aughter.
"I''ll apany you to try out your wedding gown tomorrow!"
Annabelle nodded happily.
She was curious and excited to see the wedding gown Alistair custom ordered.
The next day.
Annabelle and Alistair walked into a bridal shop. The ce was very ssy and it was furnished in a
sweet way.
Annabelle could tell from the furnishing that it was a costly ce. Right after they walked inside, a
person walked out to receive them.
He was twisting his body while walking and he carried himself alluringly.
He… Because that was a man. He was the type of feminine man from those fashion shows.
However, the man had a beautiful appearance.
Even more so than a woman.
He had fair skin and a tall body, just slightly shorter than Alistair. Most importantly, he wasn''t wearing
something fancy but a white casual suit. He looked ssy and clean.
"Alistair, I thought you wouldn''t visit me anymore!" The moment the man saw Alistair, he got close to
him and his tone was coquettish and coy.
Annabelle, "…"
She looked at Alistair and then back to the man.
"Why should Ie here if there is nothing going on?" Alistair asked back indifferently.
"Can''t you just drop by to visit me?"
Alistair simply gave him an eye roll, "Be more serious!"
From their conversation, Annabelle could tell that they had known each other for a long time.
Be serious?
As the man heard that, he nced at Annabelle.
Annabelle simply smiled back politely.
The man did not respond well to her manner. He harrumphed, "I have always thought you like sexy
women. This one is just dull! Alistair, your taste changed!"
The man was calling Alistair''s name sofortably.
Annabelle felt wronged, wasn''t she sexy?
"Why are you so chatty today!?" Alistair looked at him andined.
After hearing that, the man replied unhappily, "Okay okay, just sit here and wait. I''ll bring her in to test
her wedding gown!"
"Okay, be careful, she is pregnant!" Alistair instructed the man.
When the man heard Alistair, his eyes were widened in disbelief, "What did you say?"
"Take good care of my wife!" Alistair repeated.
At that time, Annabelle could see that the man showed a heartbroken expression…
Annabelle was confused…
"I will!"
And Annabelle felt that the man was saying that while gnashing his teeth.
"Follow me!" The man said. And so, Annabelle stole a look at Alistair and followed him inside quietly.
Annabelle was puzzled but she could tell that the men were close to each other. After all, Alistair had
never told anyone about her pregnancy. Now that he told this man, it was obvious that he trusted him.
Annabelle followed the man inside a private room and she saw a most stunning wedding gown on a
mannequin. The woman was stupefied.
She had seen all kinds of wedding gown in her past before. However, the one before her had left her
It was a white shoulder-less design. The crystal embroidery on the chest area was striking and it had a
long drag. She could see the long drag in full view. It was simply elegant, resembling the European''s
royalty style.
Annabelle couldn''t help but eximed, who could carry such wedding gown of ss?!
"Hurry ande in!" The man said. When Annabelle looked at him now, he had worn a pair of white
gloves, suggesting the worth of the wedding gown.
Annabelle came back to her senses and walked inside.
"Is this the one?" Annabelle asked in disbelief.
"Aside from Alistair, I don''t think anyone would be sovish to use diamonds on their wedding gowns!"
The man fumed and his tone was jealous.
Although he was showing quite the attitude, Annabelle wasn''t offended at all. Not only that, she was
tickled.
Most importantly, she was shocked.
It wasn''t crystal but diamonds!
Diamond wedding gown!?
What was this Alistair trying to do? Even if he was rich, he shouldn''t be burning a hole in his pocket like
that!
"Umm…"
Annabelle wanted to ask him a question but she didn''t know his name.
"Fitch!" He said, as if he could read Annabelle''s mind.
"Oh, Fitch!"
"Go and give it a try!" At that time, Fitch removed the wedding gown from the mannequin and passed it
to Annabelle.
"Try it over there!"
Annabelle nodded and took over the wedding gown carefully.
Fitch waited outside and crossed his arms around his chest. The man would keep tidying his hair from
time to time.
"Alistair was trying to throw away his money, making such an expensive wedding gown! I think he had
probably injured his head!" While he was waiting outside, he kept bbering on and on.
To be able to mock Alistair like that, it seemed that this wasn''t an ordinary person either. At least, he
had a good rtionship with Alistair.
Annabelle put on her wedding gown quietly and didn''t respond.
"What did you want to ask me earlier?" He recalled that all of a sudden and he asked.
Annabelle was putting on the wedding gown. She was handling it with utmost care and she felt
inconvenient to move around.
"Do you need any help?" Fitch called out from outside.
"No need!" Annabelle answered right away.
Fitch harrumphed. Even if she wanted, he would need to consider about that.
After sometime, Annabelle was finally done. The curtain was brought to the sides and she walked out.
"Are you able to lift the dress up with that tiny breast of yours…" Before finishing his sentence, his eyes
widened the moment he saw Annabelle.
When the wedding gown was on her, it looked like she gave birth to a soul to the dress.
But that was just right because it was custom made for her.
Be it the style, the design and the touch, every part was meant for Annabelle and she alone. She
definitely wore it better than the mannequin.
Should hepliment Alistair''s taste for the woman before him? He had to admit that Annabelle had
carried the wedding gown perfectly.
Her chest area wasn''t too tight but she showed a cleavage. It was sexy and seductive.
The man regretted his remarks earlier that she wasn''t sexy.
It was just an unprofessional statement!
When Annabelle saw the way Fitch looked at her, she looked back at him and asked, "Is anything the
matter?"
Once Fitch heard that, he came back to his senses. The man averted his eyes and pretended to be
uncaring, "It''s nothing. See, your breast is too small and you couldn''t lift the gown up…"
……
Could he not tell such obvious lie?
Annabelle didn''t know what to say.
However, she just couldn''t bring herself to dislike Fitch''s straightforwardness.
Fitch walked over and helped her to tidy up her dress. When Annabelle looked at him, she couldn''t help
but asked, "Do you like Alistair?"
The man had been bbering on and on, as if he was annoyed by Annabelle. Therefore, Annabelle
came up with that guess.
After asking that question, it was as if time froze.
A second, two seconds, three seconds… Ten seconds passed.
Fitch looked at her and asked, "Why? Can''t I like him?" The man even sounded proud and his
expression was telling that he didn''t think it was a problem at all.
"No…" Annabelle denied right away, "I didn''t mean anything, just a random question!"
"Hmph, if Alistair has a different sexual orientation, I would be the one standing next to him, not you!"
Annabelle, "……"
The world was a messed up ce. Annabelle felt as if she had snatched someone else''s beloved.
"I''ll warn you this. Now that you are his woman, you should treat him better! Otherwise, I might snatch
him from you anytime!"
Annabelle, "… I will!" She muttered that quietly.
"Come with me!" His sighed and lead Annabelle out.
And so, Annabelle followed behind him and walked out.
At that time, Alistair was resting on the couch outside. His long legs were crossed together and he
leaned on the armrest. The man was casually flipping around the magazines. Although he was simply
sitting, he exuded a matchless charm and temperament.
"She is ready!" Fitch said.
The moment Alistair heard his voice, he raised his head.
Annabelle walked out slowly and she was wearing a crystal heels. The woman appeared in Alistair''s
sight slowly.
Her marble white skin contrasted the exquisite diamond designed. The long drag design brought out
Annabelle''s elegance yet the overall design carried an air of sexiness as well.
That piece of art was of perfectpatibility with Annabelle.
Although Alistair knew that Annabelle was outstandingly beautiful, he was still knocked breathless by
her beauty.
Annabelle smiled at him and the man stood up and walked towards her slowly.
"How does it look?" She asked. She simply stood straight without any pose and her beauty was
breathtaking.
But that does was also due to how inconvenient it was for her to move. The drag was just too long.
"Beautiful!" After staring at her for a long, long while, Alistair gave his honest review.
Annabelle smiled. She could see that the man''s eyes were lit up and she just didn''t know what to say.
"All the sudden I regretted that I let you wear so beautifully. I don''t want to share your beauty to anyone
now!" The man said that with a deep and charming voice. It made Annabelle''s heart beat faster.
"But even so, this beauty and all of me belongs to just you alone…" Annabelle looked at him and said.
Her gaze was determined as it came in contact with the passion in his eyes.
The next second, Alistair lifted his chin and kissed her…
He kissed her gently as if he was sealing his mark. As their lips touched, the female shopkeeper was
just envious.
The man was handsome and the woman was pretty. Not even that, they were so romantic and so
passionately in love! The others were just envious.
"I said I will give you the best and only you can enjoy such luxury…" Alistair said softly.
Annabelle smiled. They looked at each other and their feelings were conveyed.
*Cough*
At that time, Fitch cleared his throat to get some attention.
After Annabelle and Alistair heard him, they separated.
It was most probably due to Alistair''s influence that Annabelle wasn''t as shy as before. Previously, if
Alistair were to do that in public, she would feel embarrassed. However, now she couldn''t bring herself
to enjoy that sweetness and love the man gave her.
Annabelle looked at Fitch and couldn''t help but broke into a giggle. She wasn''t taunting the man nor
showing off, it was simply a disy of purest joy.
"If you want to act all lovey-dovey, get a room! Don''t you see there are so many people here? Aren''t
you embarrassed…" After saying that, he harrumphed and looked at the woman, "How was it? Are you
satisfied with the wedding gown?"
Alistair looked at Annabelle and his lips curled up, "Not too bad!"
"If that''s the case, I shall trouble president Mu to sign here!"
After saying that, he walked over and passed him an invoice. Alistair took out his pen and signed
unhesitantly.
