Chapter 635 Takeaway
When Kaleb heard that, he was stunned, "Hurry and send me the pictures!"
After the phone was hung up, it beeped in a few seconds later and Kaleb opened the picture message.
The moment he saw the picture in it, he was stunned.
Hua and sat in front and he knew what their conversation was about. When he saw that Kaleb's
expression changed, he asked, "Brother Kaleb, what happened?"
Kaleb had a grim expression. After momentary silence, he said, "Help me to check the identity of this
person…"
When Kaleb saw the person in the picture, he gripped his phone tightly.
Dawson Xiao….
How many men had you been with?!
Whenever he thought about that, he felt a strong emotion swelling up from within.
To Zen's greatest surprise, Kaleb invited him out!
In a tea house.
When Zen reached, Kaleb was already waiting there. The man was seated and drinking tea. He had
his personal guard standing by his side, protecting him.
When Zen saw him, he walked directly towards his table and sat opposite him.
The moment Kaleb saw Zen, there was a flash of discountenance in his eyes. But the man conferred
his expression immediately.
"May I know what is Mr. Kaleb's purpose for this meeting?" Zen looked at him and asked.
The two of them were from different social background and business line. They had minimal contact.
Aside from Ralphy's wedding, that was the first meeting of the two men.
The first official meeting.
"It seems like you know me!" Song Jing said.
Zen smiled, "Mr. Kaleb, you invited me to meet you here and the entire floor was blocked booked under
your name!" Zen said as he looked at Kaleb confidently.
Kaleb smiled and poured hot water into the teapot, "Is Longjing tea ok?"
Zen looked at the tea in front of him and he smiled, "I think Mr. Kaleb asked for my presence here isn't
for the purpose of discussing tea arts, right?" Although he said that, he lifted his cup of tea and took a
sip.
Kaleb sat opposite him. Although the two men were of similar age, they were obviously and observably
from different background.
Zen had the look of a businessman.
As for Kaleb, the man looked ruthless yet self-possessed, experienced yet unassuming.
The man had experienced an extraordinary life. Being a mobster and end up in jail, being released
from jail and climbed up to his position right now. The man had an inimitable aura and presence.
"Of course, I actually have something important to talk to Mr. Mu today." Kaleb said slowly as he sipped
on his tea. Even as he was sitting, he carried an overawing presence.
"If that's the case, Mr. Kaleb, please go ahead!" Zen said. Although Zen was simply a businessman, he
was a self-made man that endured countless hardships. Even if he was confronting the fiercest of men,
he was able to carry his own composure and confidence.
Since Zen said that, Kaleb decided to speak directly. He looked at Zen and asked, "Where is Dawson
Xiao?"
When Zen heard Dawson Xiao's name, his gesture of drinking tea paused. The man's eyes flickered
and he continued to drink, "Dawson Xiao? Who is this Dawson Xiao?"
Kaleb sneered in his heart, "Mr. Mu, you don't have to pretend. I simply want to know where Dawson
Xiao is and how she has been living!"
Zen smiled as well, "Mr. Kaleb, you are asking me so abruptly. Do you think I know about that?"
When Kaleb saw that Zen refused to admit, he took out a picture and put it on the table. The person in
the picture was Zen and Dawson Xiao.
Zen was stunned. The picture was taken not long after Ollie Hua passed away. During Dawson Xiao's
pregnancy.
He didn't expect anyone to have a picture of them.
When Zen saw the picture, he was stunned.
"Mr. Mu, do you still want to deny that you know Dawson Xiao?" Kaleb asked.
As Zen looked at the picture, he was stunned. After that, he lifted his head and said, "That's right, I
knew Dawson Xiao, but so what?"
When Kaleb heard that he finally admitted, he was impassioned.
"Where is she staying now? How is she?"
When Zen saw how emotional Kaleb was, he was stunned, "I don't think there's a need for me to tell
you that!"
"I simply want to know how she was doing!!!" Kaleb gripped his fist tightly. The man had searched for
so long and he finally found a clue.
"You are the one that forced her to leave. Why bother finding her now?" Zen asked back.
Kaleb frowned. He didn't expect Zen to know about such details.
Kaleb had a pained expression and he replied, "This is my personal matter. Others wouldn't be able to
understand!"
"Understand or not, Mr. Kaleb, I believe Dawson Xiao does not want to see you!" Zen said.
When Kaleb heard that, he was stunned.
"Did she really say that?" Kaleb said.
"Yes!" Zen said.
Once Kaleb heard the word, he felt that he received the death verdict.
Although he had done wrongs in the past, Dawson Xiao was just too cruel. She wasn't even willing to
let him know about her well-being…
Kaleb sat there and had a pained expression, "If that's the case, please help me to take good care of
her!" As Kaleb said that, he stood up and wanted to leave.
"It's too late."
When Kaleb heard that, he froze. The man turned his head back and looked at him, "What do you
mean?"
"She was gone!"
"Gone?" Kaleb frowned and he asked nervously, "What do you mean?"
"Twenty years ago, when she was about to give birth, she disappeared!"
Give birth?
Disappeared?
Kaleb felt that his head was about to crack open.
"She was pregnant…?" He asked in disbelief.
Zen nodded, "Yes, that's right!"
Kaleb stood there and thought for a long while. Twenty years… He should have anticipated that, but…
"Where did she go?"
"If anyone knows, I wouldn't say she disappeared!" Zen said.
Kaleb looked distressed. He examined Zen's expression and he didn't seem to be lying.
As for Zen, he sat there and looked at Kaleb. The man couldn't imagine why he had forced Dawson
Xiao to leave in the past and now he was spending so much effort to get her back…
Zen recalled the time when Dawson Xiao called him and said she wouldn't want to see Kaleb for the
rest of her life. And she didn't want Kaleb to see her child…
Of course, Zen didn't tell Kaleb that.
According to Kaleb's character and identity, if back then he cruelly chased Dawson Xiao away and he
got the knowledge about Dawson Xiao having a child, he might just do something unfavorable. Maybe
that was what Dawson Xiao was worrying about!
Kaleb remained silent and Zen left.
The man didn't even noticed Zen leaving.
He sat there and all he could think of was Dawson Xiao…
She was pregnant!
And she disappeared…
Sigh…
Dawson Xiao, are you punishing me?
With Alistair's absence in the company, everyone was relaxed. When it was tea break, Annabelle's
phone rang. When she saw the number, her lips curled up and she took her phone and walked to one
side.
"Hello!"
"I've arrived!"
"Okay!"
"I miss you!"
Annabelle tried hard to suppress her laughter, "Really?"
"I regretted!"
"About what?"
"I regretted not stuffing you inside the luggage!"
Annabelle chuckled, "There's no point in regretting now, you are ready in Singapore!"
Alistair's sighed, "I will definitely bring you here next time!"
Annabelle smiled, "Sure!"
"How are you? Are you tired in work? If you are, I'll get the chauffeur to send you back!"
"President Mu, are you giving me special privileges?" Annabelle asked smilingly.
"Of course, you are the president's wife. You are entitled to special privileges!" Alistair and said.
Annabelle smiled.
"Annabelle…"
"Hmm?"
"Let's get married when I go back, okay?" Alistair asked.
Annabelle was stunned for a moment. After that, she nodded and answered, "Okay!"
Alistair smiled restfully over the other side, "All right, I will need to go and make some preparations. I
have a meeting shortly!"
"Okay!"
"Call you soon!"
"Okay!"
After a simple conversation, they hung up the call.
Annabelle locked her phone and a smile blossomed on her face. Although the two of them couldn't
meet each other, this kind of anomalous desire to see him again made her aware of the significance of
Alistair to her.
After the short break, she went back to work.
When she got off work, she was thinking if she should make a call to Dorie to invite her to dinner or
something.
Therefore, she made the call and waited a long time until she answered.
"Hey, Annabelle… Thank you, your chocolate sundae!" Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
The moment she answered the phone, Annabelle heard bustling sound from Dorie's side.
"Are you busy?"
"Yeah, I am in the shop now. I don't know, but I am just overwhelmed with work. What is it? Anything
the matter?"
"I was thinking of inviting you for dinner. If that's the case, you should focus in work first!"
"Okay, let's eat together some other day!"
"Okay!"
After hanging up the call, Annabelle could imagine Dorie's busy figure in her shop and she chuckled.
After tidying up her desk, she was prepared to go home.
Right after she came out from the office, her phone rang. When she saw the number, she answered
smilingly.
"Hey, mum!"
"Annabelle, have you finished work?"
"Yeah, just done!"
"If that's the case, come home for dinner with Alistair!"
"Why?"
"Renee is cooking today. She asked to invite you and Alistair along!"
"Mum, let me speak with Annabelle!" When Waynie was talking, Annabelle heard Renee An's voice.
After that, the person over the phone changed to Renee.
"Annabelle!"
"Sis!"
"Do come home with brother Alistair for dinner, I am cooking tonight!"
"Okay, I will go back now!"
"Yeah okay I will wait for you!"
"Okay!"
Annabelle smiled and hung up the phone.
Right after Annabelle wanted to leave, a man appeared by the door.
"Miss Xia!"
"Coby?!" Annabelle saw Coby and she was surprised. Since the last time she went to the Xia house
and forgotten about him, she hadn't been seeing him after that.
"What are you doing here?"
"President Mu asked me to wait for you here!"
Annabelle was stunned and she understood Alistair's intention. After that, she said, "I am going home
now."
"President Mu asked me to pick you for the coming few days!"
Annabelle, "……"
She knew that she wouldn't be able to protest and she got in his car.
Coby was driving and Annabelle sat behind him. After contemplating for a while, she said, "Coby, I left
by myself that time, so sorry about that!"
Coby continued to drive without emotion. Even his voice sounded rigid, "That's okay!"
After that, he added, "But Miss Xia, please don't do it again!"
Annabelle felt awkward but she noticed that the atmosphere was odd. She looked at him and asked,
"Did anything happen?"
Coby didn't answer and continued to drive. But Annabelle had an intuition that something had
happened!
But since Coby refused to answer, Annabelle did not ask further. Sometime later, they reached the Xia
house. Annabelle looked at Coby and said, "I will be staying here for some time and going home late. I
will call you when I want to go home!"
Coby nodded, "All right!"
"You can go back first!"
Coby nodded and drove away.
Annabelle walked into her house.
The moment Annabelle opened the door and Waynie saw her, she asked, "Why are you alone?"
"Alistair went outstation!"
"Outstation? When?"
"He left this morning!"
Waynie nodded. At that time, Renee An came out from the kitchen, "Annabelle, you came!"
"Yeah!"
"Where is brother Alistair?"
"… He went outstation!"
Renee An was stunned for a moment and she said, "Then he was out of luck! Not being able to taste
my cooking!"
Annabelle chuckled, "What did you make?"
"You will know shortly!" Renee An smiled. When Annabelle looked at her smile, she could tell that she
was in a joyous mood.
"All right, I'll wait!"
"Just a little longer!" After saying that, Renee An went back to the kitchen.
Annabelle smiled and walked towards Waynie.
"Mum, where is dad?"
"Upstairs in his study room. He will be coming down soon!"
Annabelle nodded, "What about brother?"
"He is on his way, he should be here any moment!"
Annabelle smiled and sat beside Waynie, "I can tell that sister in law is very happy!"
Waynie smiled, "Renee is such a nice girl!"
Annabelle nodded, "She is indeed a good match with brother!"
Waynie nodded smilingly. At that time, the door was opened and Ralphy walked inside. The moment he
saw Annabelle, he was stunned.
"Brother!" Annabelle greeted him cheerfully.
"What brought you here?" Ralphy asked. He glanced around and saw no sign of Alistair. Although he
didn't know why he wasn't there, he had to admit that he was pleased with Alistair's absence.
