"Why? Are you home?" Ralphy asked.
"Yeah, I came home together with Alistair!" Annabelle added.
The man was elated when he first heard that she was home. But after he heard Alistairâs name, his heart sank.
"Got it!"
"Are you coming home?" Annabelle asked.
"Yeah, Iâll go over right now!"
"Okay, we will wait for you to eat together!" Annabelle said.
"Okay!"
After hanging up the call, Ralphy sat in his car and looked forward. The manâs eyes were flickering in thoughts. A few minutes later, he started the car and drove home.
In the Xia household.
After Annabelle ended the phone call, she sat there in deep thoughts.
Ralphy couldnât hide that from her. The phone call from earlier had explained sufficiently.
What about Dorie?
The woman knew Dorieâs feeling towards Ralphy.
If Dorie were to know about that, she would be devastated. Annabelle didnât know if she should tell her or not. It seemed that either way would hurt Dorie.
Sigh, she hadnât thought that Ralphy would do that...
As she was contemplating, Alistair approached her. When the man saw that she was absent-minded, he sat beside her and said smilingly, "What are you thinking?"
Annabelle was stunned and she came back to her senses. The woman looked at Alistair and smiled back, "Itâs nothing. Why? The two of you stopped playing?"
"Yeah, taking a break!" Alistair chuckled.
Annabelle nodded, "My brother is coming back soon!"
Alistair nodded in acknowledgement. The brother wasnât his favorite.
"I could see that you were having a good time with my dad!" Annabelle chuckled.
Alistairâs lips curled up smugly, "Thatâs for sure. There is no one I couldnât impress!"
"Cocky!"
Alistair laughed.
The two of them continued to chat for a while. And Ralphy came home.
"Bro, welcome home!" When Annabelle saw Ralphy, she cheered. As if nothing happened over the phone.
Ralphy was the one feeling diffident.
Annabelle nodded.
Alistair looked at Ralphy and said, "President Xia is quite the hard-working man, working overtime until now?!"
Ralphy was stunned and he answered right away, "Thereâs no choice, too many pending works!" After that, he added, "I shall go get change, be right back!"
Annabelle nodded.
The man was wearing a suit he wore to Yun Ruiâs anniversary party. It was obvious that he had spent the night outside.
If he was in the office, his assistant would bring him a set of change...
Ralphy went upstairs.
At that time, Waynie looked at them, "All right, the food is ready, letâs eat!"

"Mum, letâs wait for brother!"
"Thereâs no need to wait for him. He will come down shortly and let us eat first!" Waynie said.
The family got themself seated right away.
At that time, Alistairâs phone rang. He took up his phone and answered it.
After a simple acknowledgement, he ended the call.
"What is it? Company matters?" Annabelle looked at Alistair and asked.
Alistair simply smiled and shook his head. After that, he looked at Teneria and said, "Dad, I have a good news to tell you!"
Alistair didnât have any problem calling Teneria âdadâ, as if it was the most natural thing. Teneria was even used to it too. The man looked at him and asked, "What good news?"
"The Xia Group have been eyeing at that piece of land in Holly for a long time, right? I just got approval for it and I plan to transfer the ownership to the Xia Group!"
