Chapter 712 Chance
Chapter 712 Chance
Jerry Kuang and Sean was watching from the side, they fumed, "This is a public area, please have
some self-control!"
When Alistair Mu heard that, he turned his head towards them, "What now? Jealous?"
"Hmph, what is there to be jealous of!?"
But undeniably, Alistair Mu was the first one amongst the four to secure his happiness. That had indeed
made the three friends envious.
Alistair Mu and Annabelle Xia simply smiled.
"I heard that you kept meeting a girl name Lanny Su. Jerry, if she is a nice girl, make sure you
appreciate her!" Annabelle Xia said smilingly.
The moment Jerry Kuang heard that name, he had an indescribable expression.
After that, he lifted his glass and said, "I will!" After replying, he finished his drink.
Annabelle Xia looked at him and smiled.
Each and every one of the four was striking and outstanding. Although they had such a wealthy
background and influence, they weren't bad people.
They simply didn't know how to love. After all, with their distinguished identity and appearance, they
had countless romantic encounter. But how many amongst them were sincere?
Annabelle Xia believed love would appear when one least expected.
Everyone would definitely meet the right person for them.
Even if they were to miss each other, they would definitely meet again in the future.
Alistair Mu and Annabelle Xia was the best example.
When the four of them sat together and chatted, Annabelle Xia simply listened quietly by the side. She
didn't want to come but Alistair Mu insistent. Hence, she followed him.
Even just sitting by the side and watching them have fun was a quite the entertainment.
At that time, Jerry Kuang's phone rang. The man checked on the caller and answered it.
"Hello…"
"When is it?"
"Okay, got it!"
After the simple conversation, he hung up.
Sean asked lazily, "Who was that?"
"Sky An!"
When they heard the name, there were puzzled, "Why is he calling you?"
Alistair Mu was drinking and he averted his gaze to Jerry Kuang as well.
"Renee An will be leaving the country in a few days. He invited me for dinner!" Jerry Kuang said
nonchalantly.
Annabelle Xia was drinking her to choose. When she heard that, she was stunned.
Renee An was leaving the country?"
It seemed that her brother still didn't take any action.
When she was pondering, Alistair Mu looked towards her. The man seemed to be able to read her
mind and he stretched out his hand and held hers, "It's okay. Just let them worry about their own
matters. If they are really fated to be together, it doesn't matter if she leaves the country or even flies to
the moon. They will definitely meet again.
It will depend on the willingness on the both of them.
When Annabelle Xia heard that, she broke into a chuckle.
That was all right, if they were fated together, even if she were to leave the country, they would
definitely meet again in the future.
When she thought about that, she nodded restfully.
Whenever Alistair Mu holds her hand, no matter what happened, Annabelle Xia could always rest her
heart.
That was the couple's special way to calm Annabelle Xia down.
When it was almost 12 o'clock in the midnight, the gathering ended and Annabelle Xia went back with Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org
Alistair Mu.
"How was it? Do you need me to send you guys back?" Sean asked worriedly. Alistair Mu had been
drinking quite a lot.
Annabelle Xia simply smiled, "It's all right, I can drive!"
When Alistair Mu heard that, he tilted his head and looked at Annabelle Xia. The man smiled
confidently, "See ya!"
Sean nodded and watched as Annabelle Xia drove away. After that, the group of friends drove home
respectively.
Alistair Mu had been drinking. Although he wasn't drunk, his eyes were burning in passion when he
looked at Annabelle Xia.
"Darling…"
"Yes?"
Annabelle Xia was driving and she hadn't noticed his change.
Right after she answered him, Alistair Mu was quiet.
Annabelle Xia tilted her head and looked at him, "What's wrong?"
"I love you…"
When Annabelle Xia heard that, she looked back forward to the road and smiled.
"I love you too…"
The next second, Alistair Mu got closer all of a sudden and kissed Annabelle Xia's lips. And he went
back to his seat right away.
"Stop fooling around, I am driving!" Annabelle Xia said with a laugh. The woman couldn't help but feel a
sweetness in her heart.
Alistair Mu looked at her from the side, "If you aren't driving, I wouldn't have done JUST that…" His
words could always make her blush.
Annabelle Xia decided to ignore him and continued to drive.
Finally, they reached home safely.
Right when the car parked and Annabelle Xia unfastened her seatbelt, Alistair Mu pounced on her and
kissed her passionately…
"Mmm… Haoyu…"
Annabelle Xia wanted to say something but it was swallowed by the kiss.
Maybe it was the effect of alcohol, Alistair Mu was more impulsive than usual. There was a pleasant
sweet scent of wine in his lips.
In the end, Annabelle Xia stopped protesting and let him did as he wished. Finally, after making love
with her for a long time, Alistair Mu felt that it wasn't convenient to do that in the car and he released
her.
"Annabelle, let's go back to our room!"
It was just normal for them to go back to their room. At when she saw his passionate eyes, Annabelle
Xia's heart pound rapidly and she blushed.
Alistair Mu didn't give her a chance to say anything and he got down the car, walked to Annabelle Xia's
side and carried her out. The man simply carried her inside the house.
Fortunately, all of the family members had rested. Alistair Mu carried Annabelle Xia straight back to
their room. The moment he lowered her on the bed, the husband quenched his thirst of passion.
……
In the middle of the night.
After they were done, Alistair Mu hugged Annabelle Xia from the back and kissed her. The man had a
contended face as he was caressing Annabelle Xia's stomach, "Is the baby all right?"
"You still remember him?!" Annabelle Xia grumbled. However, she didn't sound like she was
complaining at all, more like a coquettish whine.
"Of course!" Alistair Mu said in poised. After that, he whispered by her ear. His hot and wet breath was
ticklish, "If it wasn't for his sake, do you think I will let you go after just once?"
Although they had been together for a long time, Annabelle Xia would still feel nervous and excited
whenever Alistair Mu speaks to her like that. Her heart would pound rapidly and she would blush.
Annabelle Xia did not reply and she simply moved to a comfortable position in his hug and closed her
eyes.
She wasn't as shameless as Alistair Mu and could say just about anything.
Although she said nothing, she was able to make Alistair Mu's heart beat faster.
When Alistair Mu saw that she was quiet, he continued, "Darling…"
"Yes!?"
"I don't think one time is enough!"
When Annabelle Xia heard that, her eyes widened immediately and she turned her head back and
looked at Alistair Mu, "NO.WAY!"
The once just now had exhausted her enough. If he were to have another go, she was afraid that she
wouldn't be able to stand it.
Most importantly, she was concerned about the baby.
Alistair Mu simply looked at her and smiled. His eyes were gleaming like diamonds in the night. The
man cosseted Annabelle Xia in every way, "As you wish~" If he were to overdo it, it is likely that he
would have trouble initiating the next session.
When Annabelle Xia saw that he was obedient, she chuckled, "Mr. Mu, I didn't know that you will get so
naughty after drinking. I will forbid you from drinking next time!"
"Don't! Darling, I'll listen to you next time!"
"That's more like it!" Annabelle Xia laughed.
Alistair Mu hugged her and let her rest her head on his arm, "Okay, it's pretty late now. Let's sleep!"
"Okay!" Annabelle Xia answered him. After the vigorous activity earlier, she was completely exhausted
and sleepy. Therefore, in mere minutes after she shut her eyes, she fell asleep.
When Alistair Mu heard her soft breathings, he smiled contentedly. The man closed his eyes and fell
asleep soon after…
The next day.
In the Xia house.
Ralphy Xia was forced to stay and rest at home. The parents had given their strict order for him not to
go to the company. Ralphy Xia had no choice but to rest at home properly.
Fortunately, after two days of complete rest, his health condition was much better.
When he was in the living room, Waynie Xu looked at him and asked, "How is it between you and
Renee?" The mother had been holding back herself for so many days. She just couldn't stand it
anymore and she blurted the question.
Teneria Xia was curious as well but he managed to hold it in. Now that Waynie Xu asked the question,
the father looked towards them.
Ralphy Xia was sitting in the living room and drinking the chicken soup made by auntie Li. When he
heard that, he was stunned and made no reply. The man simply continued to drink his soup quietly.
"Ralphy, tell us. What actually happened?" Waynie Xu asked.
Finally, Ralphy Xia lowered his bowl and looked at the parents, "Dad, mom, we… Me and Renee are
divorced!"
"Divorced…?" Waynie Xu was in disbelief.
Ralphy Xia nodded, "Yes. From today onwards, we go our separate ways. You don't have to ask me
again!"
Teneria Xia had a grim expression and Waynie Xu was just shocked, "Why? The two of you had been
doing great, why a divorce all of a sudden? Ralphy, what happened?"
"This has been a mistake right from the start. Therefore, this is the best ending. And that, mom, I know
I've made a mistake. But I hope that the both of you can respect me!" After saying that, he glanced at
his parents and stood up to go upstairs.
Teneria Xia and Waynie Xu were downstairs. When they watched him walk away, they just didn't know
what to say.
However, the parents were frustrated and uncomfortable inside.
"Teneria Xia…" Waynie Xu didn't know what to do and she looked at Teneria Xia.
Teneria Xia removed his spectacles and sighed, "Although we don't know what happened, things had
been concluded. Let's just respect their decision!" After saying that, the man stood up and walked to his
study room.
Waynie Xu sat there and she was simmering in sorrow and regret.
The mother favored the daughter in law. Regrettably she couldn't stay with Ralphy Xia and they
divorced so soon.
The mother was just sad for them.
That day.
Annabelle Xia learnt that Renee An was leaving and she went to the Xia house.
After a few days, the family had finally accepted what happened between Ralphy Xia and Renee An.
"Mum, where is brother?"
"He is upstairs in his study room. Why?"
"It's nothing, I simply want to talk to him!" After saying that, Annabelle Xia went upstairs.
In the study room.
Ralphy Xia stared in front of the window and looked into the distance. Annabelle Xia knocked on the
door and went inside after that.
"Brother!"
Ralphy Xia turned his head back. The moment he saw Annabelle Xia, his gaze was unrippled, "What
are you doing here?"
"I'm here to look for you!" Annabelle Xia said straightforwardly.
Ralphy Xia turned over and looked at her, "Have a seat!"
Annabelle Xia was just anxious when she saw how unbothered Ralphy Xia was.
"Brother, Renee is leaving!" Annabelle Xia said right away.
When Ralphy Xia heard that, he was stunned for a bit. However, he didn't even raise his head,
"Really?"
"Aren't you curious about where she is leaving to?" Annabelle Xia asked. She didn't believe that Ralphy
Xia had no feelings towards Renee An at all.
"We are already divorced. It is her freedom to go wherever she wants!" Ralphy Xia said.
Annabelle Xia was stunned. The thing that she dreaded the most happened.
"Renee is going to London. She might not be coming back anymore!" Annabelle Xia continued.
Ralphy Xia continued to look down but he gripped his fist. The man showed no emotion on his face and
he nodded agreeably, "That's great!"
Great?
Annabelle Xia drew a deep breath.
She looked at him, "Bro, are you seriously going to let Renee to leave like this?"
"I don't believe that you don't have any feelings towards Renee. But why are you holding back? Don't
you know Renee needs you to take initiative? Not acting all quiet and passive. I believe if you were to
go to chase after her, you can definitely make her stay!" Annabelle Xia said. She seemed to be so
much more anxious than Ralphy Xia.
When Ralphy Xia heard that, he raised his gaze and looked at her, "Annabelle, I know that you are
doing this for our sake. But you don't have to do that. This is an inevitable ending between me and
Renee. It has nothing to do with you and you don't have to feel guilty!"
Annabelle Xia frowned, "Bro, I did all these not because I felt guilty. But I am very sure that if you were
to miss her, you will definitely regret it!" Annabelle Xia looked at him and enunciated.
Ralphy Xia simply frowned.
"Just think about it yourself, if Renee really leaves and never comes back, will you regret your decision
today? Are you scared of the idea?" Annabelle Xia asked.
Ralphy Xia did not answer. He simply stood up and walked towards the window, "This is inevitable. We
started off as a mistake and this is the best ending. She deserves a much better person!"
Annabelle Xia frowned. She didn't know what Ralphy Xia's concern was. However, she started to
understand why Renee An was so determined to divorce and leave him.
"I simply know that if you love someone, you should try your best to give her happiness. Not pushing
her away!" After saying that, Annabelle Xia took out a piece of note from her handbag and put it on the
desk, "This is the flight detail of Renee. I will leave it here. As for whether you go or not, rests fully on
you!" After saying that, Annabelle Xia looked at him, "This is as much as I can do. I will never interfere
in this matter again!" After saying that, Annabelle Xia turned around and walked away.
Ralphy Xia stood in front of the window. He didn't turn back nor said anything.
The room went back to complete silence. Only Ralphy Xia's light breathing sound was heard. Apart
from that, it was so lifeless in the room, as if all hope had left.
Ralphy Xia didn't know how long he had been standing in front of the window. After sometime, he
turned around and looked at the piece of paper on his desk. His eyes were a deep and confused
gaze…
In the car.
Alistair Mu looked at Annabelle Xia. The man didn't like it when Annabelle Xia went to look for Ralphy
Xia. But as she was doing that for Ralphy Xia's marriage, the man said nothing.
When Alistair Mu saw Annabelle Xia coming out and got inside the car, he raised his eyebrows lazily,
"How was it?"
Annabelle Xia sighed and shook her head, "I don't know!"
"You getting so troubled and busy for other people's matter, and tiring my son as well. Do you know
that I will worry?" Alistair Mu pinched her chin gently as he said.
Annabelle Xia simply smiled, "Are you worried about me, or your son?"
Alistair Mu moved closer and kissed her, "Both!"
Annabelle Xia sighed again and stopped joking, "However it may be, I have done everything I could. As
for the rest, it depends on the two of them!"
"And I am just happy to hear that. Promise me, stop troubling yourself with their problems!" Alistair Mu
said.
Annabelle Xia nodded, "Roger that!"
Alistair Mu smiled and started the car to drive away.
…….
On the other side.
Renee An had gotten everything prepared, her luggage was packed and the ticket was bought.
She would be leaving tomorrow.
As she sat in her room, all of a sudden she felt that there was an emptiness in her heart.
The moment she thought about the idea that she would be leaving the city she lived all her life, and
travelling to a completely unfamiliar surroundings and culture, the unbeknownst challenge made her
restless.
Although that was the place she had been looking forward to stay since her childhood.
She took out a picture album of her wedding with Ralphy Xia and flipped it.
She was smiling so joyously in the picture. At that time, Ralphy Xia did not show much of an emotion
but she smiled so heartily…
As her fingers flicked through the pictures, her lips curled up bitterly…
She realized it too late. That his smile was meant for the person he loved. But regrettably, that wasn't
her…
Renee An took out a box and tape. As she browsed through the pictures, she put them in the box
heavy heartedly. She would look at them carefully over and over again before arranging them inside
the box. After she was done, she stared emptily at the box of pictures and closed it.
After that, she took out a tape and sealed it properly.
Maybe by doing that, she could hide and stop herself from thinking.
Probably, she could even bid goodbye to her past.
However, deep down she knew that it wouldn't help at all. But she just wanted to do everything she
could to forget him.
After sealing the box, she put it in a corner of her room. The furthest and most unvisited corner in her
room.
After that, she breathed a long sigh.
She didn't know how long she would be staying there and she didn't know when she will come back.
She simply thought that by the time she comes back, she would be able to throw everything away and
start over again.
At that time, she would be a brand-new Renee An.
She had faith that she could do that.
As she thought about that, she smiled restfully.
By that time, the sky had turned dark.
She walked to the balcony and enjoyed the gentle breeze. It was comfortable and relaxing.
After this last night, she would be leaving. She should take her last chance to breathe in this familiar
air…
She shut her eyes and enjoyed the moment quietly…
