Chapter 740 Understanding
Annabelle Xia went to meet with Teneria Xia and Waynie Xu.
When Annabelle Xia reached, the parents were already waiting there. They decided to meet outside
instead of at home.
When Annabelle Xia came in with Alistair Mu and Shi Guang, they saw Teneria Xia and Waynie Xu
waiting anxiously.
"Dad, mom!" The moment Annabelle Xia went inside, she greeted them politely.
When Waynie Xu and Teneria Xia saw them appearing together, they stood up excitedly, "Annabelle,
you are back!"
"President Mu!" They looked at Alistair Mu and greeted him awkwardly.
Annabelle Xia simply smiled at them, "Sorry for making you wait!"
"Not at all, we just reached!" The mother said.
"Come, have a seat, have a seat first!" Teneria Xia said.
Their interaction was just awkward.
Alistair Mu didn't feel anything at all and he simply sat down with Annabelle Xia.
When Waynie Xu saw the little boy in Annabelle Xia's arms, she was overcome with emotion, "This…
This is your child, right!?"
Annabelle Xia looked at Shi Guang and smiled, "Yes, he is Shi Guang…"
After saying that, she muttered to the baby gently, "Shi Guang, this is your grandpa and grandma…"
The moment Waynie Xu heard that, her eyes reddened.
Teneria Xia didn't know what to say as well.
"I, can I carry him?" Waynie Xu asked.
Annabelle Xia smiled and passed Shi Guang to her. The little boy blinked his lively eyes and babbled
excitedly as he looked at his grandparents.
The moment Waynie Xu carried Shi Guang, her heart completely melted.
The baby was simply too adorable!!
Every little kid just have that ability to melt people's heart. Moreover, the adorable Shi Guang was their
very own grandson!
Waynie Xu and Teneria Xia were just thrilled.
"Shi Guang, Shi Guang… That is such a nice name!" Waynie Xu cheered.
Teneria Xia was looking at the baby lovingly as well.
"Annabelle…"
"Dad, mom, I should have gone home after I am back. Sorry… I even waited until the two of you called
me!" Annabelle Xia said apologetically. Although they had broken her heart, she must show them the
respect and manners they deserved. Teneria Xia and Waynie Xu had brought her up splendidly.
The moment Annabelle Xia said that, Teneria Xia and Waynie Xu were just embarrassed. Teneria Xia
looked at Annabelle Xia while Waynie Xu looked at Shi Guang and they just didn't know what to say.
"Annabelle, actually, we asked you here because we wish to talk to you…" Teneria Xia didn't know how
to start.
He glanced over at Alistair Mu and contemplated for a long while before continuing, "Since Alistair is
here, let me just clear things up once and for all!"
"Alistair, Annabelle, Ralphy had wronged the two of you one year ago. As the father, I am the one to be
blamed for his conduct and I caused the two of you to be separated for so long. President Mu, I hereby
ask for your forgiveness in Ralphy's place!" Even as the man apologized and casted away his pride as
an elder, it wasn't humiliating but a noble act.
Alistair Mu wasn't an unreasonable person. He knew who the person responsible was for what
happened and he wouldn't be blaming others. After hearing what Teneria Xia said, he replied, "He was
the one that made the mistake and he should be the one to apologize, not you. This has nothing to do
with you and there is no need for you to apologize!"
But, to let Ralphy Xia apologize…?
That is just impossible!
Alistair Mu knew the father's difficulty and he said no more.
As long as they both reached an understanding, there was no need to make things awkward.
Teneria Xia looked at the couple and nodded, "You are right. If I get the chance, I will definitely get him
to apologize!"
Alistair Mu lifted the pot of tea and poured for the parents. He gave no respond to his reply.
At that time, Teneria Xia looked at Annabelle Xia and his eyes flickered in complicated emotions,
"Annabelle..."
"Dad, let bygone be bygone. We don't have to talk about it anymore. And most importantly, all of us are
doing well now!" Annabelle Xia said smilingly.
"Annabelle…"
"Dad, I understand!" Annabelle Xia gave them a restful smile.
But the more she did that, the more Teneria Xia and Waynie Xu felt guilt ridden.
"I still remember the first time I carried you, you are so little, just like him…" Waynie Xu said suddenly. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
The moment she said that, all of them looked at her.
Waynie Xu looked at Shi Guang in her arms and she smiled bitterly yet gratefully, "When I first saw
you, you are about this age, in a tiny cradle in front of our daughter. I don't know who that you there but
the moment I carried you, my heart melted. You are so young yet you didn't cry nor shout. It was as if
your vivacious eyes could talk and you simply stared into my eyes. From that moment on, I knew you
belong to me and I swore to myself I would take care of you with all my heart…"
After saying that, she raised her head and looked at Annabelle Xia.
"Annabelle, although we aren't tied by blood, in my eyes, there is no difference!"
"I had completely lost it back then and all I wanted was to save Ralphy. I said something hurtful but I
didn't mean it. If you were the one that got into trouble, I would be just as worried and in anguish as
well!"
Annabelle Xia looked at Waynie Xu and she just didn't know what to say.
"Mum…"
The mother walked towards her and sat beside her, "It doesn't matter if you are still angry at me, I do
not hope for your forgiveness. But I simply wish for you to know that you will always be my daughter,
even if you don't think of me as your mother, as long as you are living well, I will be contended!"
Annabelle Xia was completely moved.
One year ago, she might remember what Waynie Xu said from time to time. But now, her memory
about that was blurred already.
Ever since becoming a mother herself, she realized the motherly love and worry towards their own
child. A mother would be willing to do just about everything for the well-being of their children.
At that time, what the mother said made her feel that she was simply an outsider. It didn't matter what
she did or sacrificed for the family, she would stay an outsider forever. But after hearing what Waynie
Xu said, she was just touched.
"Mum!" Annabelle Xia's eyes welled up in tears as she wrapped her arms around Waynie Xu tightly,
"How could I ever forget your love!?"
Waynie Xu cried as well, "It was my selfishness that hurt you. I was the one that caused you to suffer
for one year!"
Annabelle Xia had been trying hard to hold back her tears but they broke out from her eyes after
hearing that, "I was the one that wanted to leave. I was the one that was worried and afraid. I was
scared to be treated as an outsider by my dearest family…"
"No, you are not an outsider! You are my daughter!" Waynie Xu said quickly.
Annabelle Xia didn't say anything more and hugged her mother tightly. All of her feelings were
conveyed.
Alistair Mu watched them by the side. That was undoubtedly the best ending. Now Annabelle Xia has
finally let go and she didn't need to feel any imperfection in her life anymore.
The man said nothing and simply lifted up his cup of tea and sipped on it quietly.
Finally, one of the most problematic issue was solved.
After leaving the hotel, Annabelle Xia was a complete different person. She looked as if she had a
mountain off her shoulders.
Alistair Mu looked at her and squinted his eyes, "Annabelle Xia, have you noticed? You had been
crying more and more lately!"
Annabelle Xia looked at Alistair Mu and her eyes were serene. She drew a deep breath and said,
"Alistair, they…"
"I understand!"
Before Annabelle Xia even said anything, Alistair Mu interrupted her. He looked at Annabelle Xia
lovingly and caressed her hair, "Like what you said, let bygone be bygone. For me, you and Shi Guang
are most important. I believe you will not let me down!"
Annabelle Xia smiled faintly and looked back at him in tenderness, "Alistair Mu, those that I, Annabelle
Xia owes you, I shall repay you for the rest of my life…"
Alistair Mu simply grinned ear to ear and said, "Annabelle Xia, remember what you said! Not just this
life or the next, or the one of the next! You are not allowed to leave my side anymore!"
After saying that, he hugged Annabelle Xia and the man was completely contended. She was all that
he needed.
Annabelle Xia wrapped her arms around Alistair Mu and muttered, "From hereby onwards, there will
never be anything or any reason that can make Annabelle Xia leaves Alistair Mu. Unless I die…"
"Even if you die, I will be with you…"
……
It was such a romantic conversation yet the two of them made it so dark.
However, only the two of them knew the fascination of their relationship to each other.
There are times that love requires both parties to understand each other.
……
After sending back Shi Guang, Alistair Mu brought Annabelle Xia to another place.
"Where are you bringing me?" Annabelle Xia looked at him and asked.
Alistair Mu simply smiled and didn't answer as he continued to drive.
When Annabelle Xia saw that he wasn't answering, she smiled as well and asked no further.
When she stood in front of the shop with Alistair Mu, she was a little astounded.
She came here once before leaving one year ago.
She looked at Alistair Mu and asked, "Why are you bringing me here?"
Alistair Mu simply dragged her inside and towards the wishing board. When he showed her the colorful
notes, Annabelle Xia's eyes were misty.
Despite fear and uncertainty, we could stay together loyally and lovingly forever.
And there was a blue note sticking right beside hers :
After I find you, I will stay with you for the rest of our life and we will never separate again.
Alistair Mu was the one that wrote that.
The two notes stuck side by side as the couple stood side by side.
Annabelle Xia looked at Alistair Mu shockingly. She couldn't comprehend how Alistair Mu could find out
about this place.
Alistair Mu was able to tell her confusion and he explained, "Annabelle Xia, when you weren't around,
many things could happen!"
"Such as?"
"Covi was the one that came here for a drink and noticed that. After she showed it to me, I would come
here and stay for a while every day after work!"
Annabelle Xia hadn't thought that a simple gesture of hers made Alistair Mu do something like that.
The next second, Annabelle Xia leaped towards the man and kissed him. And at that very moment,
there were just no words that could begin to express her love towards him.
She simply conveyed her feelings through a kiss…
