Chapter 727 Memories
"The reason she did that was because she just didn't know how to face you. She knew that the Xia
family was the one that wronged you yet she wouldn't be able to ask for mercy for them. Annabelle Xia
is a smart woman, Alistair, you should believe her! She loves you as well!" Sean said.
Alistair Mu knew it as well. He had never doubted Annabelle Xia's feelings towards him.
However, it was beyond his wildest dream that she would leave him like that.
Whenever they mentioned Annabelle Xia, he would feel a heart wrenching pain. If he hadn't got drunk
for the past two days… If he just hadn't spent so much time in the company… If he could just spend
more time and attention on her, this wouldn't have happened…
But there are no ‘if's. What happened had happened. No matter how much he regretted it, he couldn't
change the fact that Annabelle Xia left!
But no matter what, he must make sure to find Annabelle Xia!
No matter what!
As he thought about that, his eyes flickered, "Even if I need to flip the world over, I will make sure to
find her. It doesn't matter how long I take, ten years or twenty years… I will not give up!"
When the friends heard his conviction, they nodded supportively, "Don't worry, she is still pregnant. It is
easier to look for her compared to two years ago!"
Alistair Mu nodded determinedly.
In the detention centre.
Alistair Mu sat face-to-face with Ralphy Xia.
If all he had was resentment with Ralphy Xia in the past, now he was just repulsed by the man.
How he hoped that Ralphy Xia never existed. And nothing would have happened between him and
Annabelle Xia.
But Ralphy Xia didn't know what happened. He simply looked at Alistair Mu, "What now? Are you here
to rub it in me? Alistair Mu, even if I lost, I will not give up!"
Alistair Mu looked at him, all of a sudden he felt that Ralphy Xia was pathetic and laughable.
"What are you laughing at?" Ralphy Xia sneered at him.
"I couldn't help but think, is it worth it for Annabelle Xia to go that far for you?"
"What do you mean?" Ralphy Xia looked at him and asked. The man had a bad hunch.
"Ralphy Xia, it doesn't matter if you lose to me or not. Most importantly, you should etch it in your very
hard that you leveraged on a woman to get out from here. If it wasn't for her, you would rot here for the
rest of your life!"
Ralphy Xia had a grim expression.
"And from today onwards, Annabelle Xia will no longer be anyhow related to you Xia family!!"
"Alistair Mu, who do you think you are? Do you think you can decide everyone's fate?!" Ralphy Xia
glared at him and yelled furiously.
At that time, Alistair Mu turned his head towards him, "At the very least, I can decide your fate!" NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
After that, he looked at Ralphy Xia and scoffed, "Do you know what I see in you? Nothing but pathetic!"
After saying that, he stood up and walked away.
At that very moment, he had let go of all hatred towards Ralphy Xia. Like what he said, after this,
Annabelle Xia will sever all ties with the Xia family.
And from now onwards, he didn't need to worry that Annabelle Xia would be troubled between the two
men.
Now he should just focus on looking for Annabelle Xia and never leave her again.
In the night.
There was a few bottle of alcohol in his study room.
The man had been drinking every single day. Only after the numbness from alcohol, he could forget the
despair that overwhelmed him.
But that day, no matter how much he drank, he just couldn't get drunk.
The man looked at his glass and bottomed up again. When the strong liquid pricked through his throat,
he looked at the pictures on his table. The man couldn't see nor feel anything in his surrounding… Just
the hollow in his heart. There was nothing he could do to forget her for a slight moment. Even if he
were to get drunk, he would dream about her.
There was the letter Annabelle Xia left him on the desk.
It was a very simple sentence.
It is the best time in my life to have met you, the best memory I had was with you. And I hope that we
could leave the most beautiful memories behind!
Annabelle Xia, how could you be so heartless?
How can you just leave like that?
Alistair Mu wailed in his heart.
And that very moment, he made a sudden decision.
He took up his phone and made a call.
Jack was sleeping. The man would rarely receive a phone call from Alistair Mu at this hour. But as Jack
found out that Annabelle Xia left and as he saw the state Alistair Mu was in, he was heartbrokened as
well. The moment he saw the number, he answered it right away.
After the short call ended, Jack looked at his phone and he was lost.
The next day.
Alistair Mu was in his company as he made the announcement, "When I wasn't around, Jack will be in
charge of everything!" He left his final words in the meeting room and left.
After walking out from the office, Jack looked at Alistair Mu and asked, "President Mu, should I send
you?"
"There's no need. I will just drive to the airport and you can just get someone to collect the car after
that!" Alistair Mu instructed.
Jack nodded.
That day, Alistair Mu delegated all of his work and started travelling.
The man went to every place Annabelle Xia wanted to go.
And he simply hoped that he could meet Annabelle Xia again during his in this travel…
When he sat in the plane and looked at the drifting clouds, he felt a sudden inner peace.
Annabelle Xia…
He had faith that Annabelle Xia would get back to his side eventually.
She definitely will!
……
Three months later.
That very day, everyone in Yun Rui was excited.
Because Alistair Mu would be coming back.
It had been three months! Three months!!
But he was coming back!
Nine o'clock in the morning, Alistair Mu got down from his car at the company entrance. All of the
workers stood by the door and waited for him. The moment they saw him, they called out uniformly,
"President Mu!"
Alistair Mu was wearing a dark blue suit. After three months, he had lost some weight. His face was
chiseled and his eyes looked a little cold.
After he got down the car, his strode inside the company right away.
Jack was the happiest person when he came back. He was just swarmed with work for the past three
months.
But when he saw the man coming back alone, Jack was heavy hearted.
"President Mu, these are the summary report for the past three months!"
Alistair Mu looked at him and nodded, "Okay, got it!"
"President Mu…" Jack still wanted to say something.
Alistair Mu raised his head and looked at him, "Yes?"
"You didn't find Miss Xia?" Jack didn't even know if he should ask the question. But he asked anyway.
The moment Alistair Mu heard that name, his eyes dimmed and he smiled, "Not yet. After she is done
enjoying herself, she will be coming home!"
Jack was just feeling a great sorrow inside but he nodded, "Yes, I believe so as well!"
"Okay, get back to work!"
"Okay!"
"By the way, help me to cancel all of my schedule tonight. I have plans!"
"Okay!"
In the night, in the private club.
The four friends were drinking together.
Jerry Kuang looked at him and asked, "You still don't have any news?"
Alistair Mu didn't look as dejected as three months ago and he seemed to have let go a little. The man
shook his head and lifted his wineglass to take a sip, "Not yet!"
"Don't give up, you will definitely find her!" Thomas Mo comforted the man.
Alistair Mu smiled. The man had somewhat accepted the fate. After Annabelle Xia left like that, he was
able to comb through things and he thought that a temporary separation wasn't fully bad. As long as he
could find her in the end!
The man simply answered, "We will!"
"You simply left for a whole three months! Have you rested enough?" Sean said. The friends were just
envious of his impulsive decision.
All the four of them had a successful career and managing a gigantic company. Even if they wanted to
rest, the most they could afford is a week off. But Alistair Mu simply ditched everything and went away
for three months.
"Exactly! Aren't you afraid that someone else would acquire Yun Rui?"
"With the three of you here, why should I be afraid?"
"Next time I will take a leave for one year, you guys help me to look after my company!" Jerry Kuang
chuckled.
When Sean heard that, he cheered, "Yeah, don't worry. When you come back, we will even rebrand
and rename your company for free!"
Jerry Kuang gave him an eye roll right away.
At that time, Jerry Kuang recalled something and he looked at Alistair Mu, "By the way, the Xia Group
had pushed through the crisis. I heard that someone had secretly pumped in a huge amount to help
them!"
When Jerry Kuang saw that Alistair Mu wasn't responding, he asked, "Do you need me to investigate
who that was?"
"There's no need. The Xia family has nothing to do with me anymore!" Alistair Mu said.
"I heard that Ralphy Xia was actively looking for Annabelle Xia as well. After he left, he was completely
broken for some time. After that, he started his search!" Jerry Kuang told Alistair Mu what he knew.
The man simply smiled uncaringly, "If she was dead set to hide and didn't want anyone to find her, I
believe no one could do it!"
Jerry Kuang nodded. With Annabelle Xia's wits, it was just challenging.
At that time, Alistair Mu mumbled to himself, "She would be seven months in now…"
The man's simple words carried his strong and heavy feelings…
The three friends looked at him and didn't know what to say. In the end, Thomas Mo broke the silence,
"Okay now, let's not think too much. Let's drink to a toast, Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
"Cheers!"
Alistair Mu smiled and lifted his glass to clink with there.
