Ralphyâs eyes dimmed.
"Annabelle!" At that time, Renee An walked over and greeted Annabelle.
"Renee!" Annabelle smiled back.
"Excuse us, the decision was so sudden that we didnât have the time to inform everyone else!" Renee said.
Annabelle smiled, "Itâs fine, itâs the same that we are told now!"
"Alistair didnât come back with you?" Ralphy looked at Annabelle and asked.
"He went back to the company."
"Brother Alistair was always so busy, right?" Renee chuckled.
Annabelle nodded, "Sometimes!"
When they were talking, Waynie walked over and said, "Auntie Li bought a lot of fruits today, let me cut them for you guys. Wait a while!"
"Auntie, let me help!"
"Thereâs no need, just sit down and wait for a while!"
"Itâs okay, I want to learn as well..." As she was saying that, Renee followed Waynie into the kitchen.
Annabelle and Ralphy were left alone in the living room. The atmosphere was peculiar.
Annabelle stood up and walked towards the balcony.
When Ralphy saw that, he followed after her.
"How are you the past few days?" Ralphy asked.
"Not bad, not bad at all!" Annabelle said. After that, she tilted her head and looked at Ralphy, "Bro, are you really engaging with Renee?"
Ralphy put his hand in the pocket and casted his gaze over the yard. He pondered for a while and answered, "Yeah."
"Have you really considered it properly?" Annabelle asked.
Although she knew that Ralphy was doing that for the sake of the Xia family, she couldnât help but ask again.
She hoped that every one of them could get their own happiness. At the very least, they could have the freedom to seek it.
When Ralphy heard that, he smiled bitterly. The manâs personal interests and thoughts werenât important anymore.
If it wasnât her, it made no difference who he spends the rest of his life with.
However, he wouldnât be saying that out for the rest of his life. To be exact, he didnât dare to.
Their distance right now had said more than enough.
"Yeah." He nodded.
Annabelle pondered for a while and said, "I had always thought that you will end up with Dorie, I hadnât thought things will turn out like this!"
When Ralphy heard Dorieâs name, he frowned, "Dorie?"
Annabelle stared at him, "Donât tell me that you didn't know Dorie likes you since the beginning!"
When Ralphy heard that, he was stunned. The man could more all less feel that. But Annabelle didnât know that the reason he went out with Dorie was because of her...
"Dorie is a good woman. She will find her happiness!" Ralphy said.
Annabelle nodded, "Yeah, no matter what, since you have made your decision, then this sister of yours will give you her blessing. Bro, I hope you will be happy!" Annabelle smiled.
No matter what his motivation was, since the man had made up his mind, Annabelle wasnât in any place to say anything.
When Ralphy saw Annabelleâs smile, he stared at her. The womanâs smile was like the sun, beautiful and bright, yet he was unable to get closer.
Happiness...
He was afraid that he wouldnât have any luck with that blessing for the rest of his life...
At that time, the motherâs voice interrupted them.
"Annabelle, Ralphy, come out and eat your fruits!" Waynie called out from inside.
When the siblings heard that, they looked towards the living room. Renee and Waynie came out with a plate of fruits each and lowered it on the coffee table in the living room.
"Coming!" Annabelle said. She glanced over at Ralphy and walked outside.
Ralphy breathed a deep breath and followed after her.
"What were at the two of you talking about?" Renee looked at them and asked.
Waynie smiled, "These siblings always like to gossip since they were kids!" Waynie chuckled from beside.
When Annabelle came out, she looked at them and smiled, "Nothing much. Renee, I wish you and my brother happiness!"
Renee hadnât expected Annabelle to say that so suddenly. She smiled back, "Thank you!"
"All right, we are one family now, donât be so reserved! Come, letâs eat some fruits!" Waynie said.
And so, the three of them sat down in the living room and enjoyed their food. Ralphy sat there and he seemed to be absent minded.
"Annabelle, when do you plan to marry brother Alistair?" Renee asked suddenly.
When Annabelle heard that, she simply smiled, "I donât know yet, but we arenât rushing and decided to follow the flow!"
Renee nodded agreeably, "You are the perfect match for brother Alistair!"
"Thank you!"
The two women continued to chat while Ralphy kept quiet by the side. The man stole glances at Annabelle from time to time and he had a strong emotion within...
......
When Dorie saw Ralphyâs news, she was stunned.
This particular news was a completely different thing from their previous encounter.
Previously, it might be just a fling. However right now, Ralphy was really getting married with another woman.
Dorie couldnât help but feel a little sad. After all, she had liked the man almost all her life.
But she wasnât feeling a strong emotion like the previous time, she didn't have the urge to even cry after reading the newspaper. Ever since the previous incident, she had gained immunity. She didnât feel anything close to as bad as the previous time.
However, she was feeling an emptiness inside and she was dispirited.
After the previous conflict, Dorie had never gone to look for Su anymore. She would go to work every day and visit her shop from time to time, and then go home after that.
Her life was back to normal.
That day, after Annabelle came out from the Xia household, she made a call to her.
"Where are you?"
"At home."
"I will go over right now!"
"Why?"
"I missed you!"
"All right!"
"Should I bring anything?"
"Beer!!"
Annabelle, "... Okay, got it!"
After hanging up the phone, Dorie was still lazing in the bed. After sometime, the doorbell rang and she got up to open the door.
When Annabelle stood by the door and saw Dorieâs face, she jerked in fright, "Whatâs wrong with you?"
"What do you mean whatâs wrong?"
"Why do you have such a serious dark circle? Have you not been sleeping?" Annabelle asked.
"I stayed up late to watch the drama last night!"
Annabelle walked inside and put the beer on the table. When she saw that the room was in a complete mess, she had a good guess what happened.
"Why are you here at such hour? Donât you have to go home and accompany your Mr. Mu?" Dorie asked.
"What now? Chasing me out right after I reached?"
"Not at all!" After saying that, Dorie took up a bottle of beer and sat down on the couch. She opened the cover and started drinking.
Annabelle knew that she wasnât in a good mood and she didnât say much. She took out another bottle and drank with her.
"By the way, you called me the other day and talked about Su, whatâs wrong with him?" Annabelle asked lazily.
When Dorie heard that, her gesture paused a little and she said right away, "Donât mention him, I donât know that man!"
The more she behaved that way, the more Annabelle was positive that Dorie was angry at him, "What did he do? He made you angry?"
The moment Annabelle mentioned that, Dorie was even more infuriated. She sat up and looked at Annabelle, "I have never seen such a stupid man!
He knew that it was Yoi that made his life a mess. But when he saw her getting into trouble, all he could think of was her!" As she said that, she was simmering in anger, "He deserved it! He deserved to get cheated!"
Annabelle, "......"
Dorie seemed to be very angry. Thus, Annabelle decided to keep her mouth shut and listen to her.
After sometime, Dorie was a little tipsy. She looked at Annabelle and said, "Annabelle, are you here to comfort me today?"
Annabelle didnât say anything in return. She looked at her and kept her silence.
"I know, your brother is engaged and you are afraid that I will be sad. Therefore, you came to comfort me, right?" After saying that, she leaned on Annabelle. Dorie couldnât hold back her tears anymore and they flowed down her cheek.
"Donât you worry, I am fine. I simply think that the man I have liked for the past decade was gone just like that... And I felt a deep regret and a little dejected. But I am fine!" Dorie said.
Annabelle looked at Dorie. The woman hardly shows a side of weakness. Annabelle just felt heavy hearted whenever she saw her being sad like that.
Annabelle wanted to comfort her. But she noticed that when the words came to her mouth, she didnât know how to say it.
At that time, Dorie sat up and wiped off her tears, "Actually, I am not that sad anymore. Ever since the previous time, I have decided to give up on your brother. Moreover, if he really has feelings towards me, he would have explained things to me. But he didnât, that just proved that he didnât have any feelings towards me. If thatâs the case, why should I be sad?"
"Although I, Dorie isnât the best, I still worth a good man that loves me all his heart, right?" Dorie looked at Annabelle and smiled.
When Annabelle heard that, she nodded, "Of course! Who said you arenât the best!? In my opinion, you are the very best, and you should definitely look for someone who loves you wholeheartedly!"
When Dorie heard that, she lifted her bottle for a toast. She raised her chin and chuckled, "Thatâs of course, I will definitely be happy!"
Annabelle lifted her bottle and clinked with her. The two of them continued to drink.
"Although I lost a man, I still have you, right? Our relationship will never change because of your brother!" Dorie hugged Annabelle and said.
"Of course not!" Otherwise, Annabelle wouldnât have come to check out on her.
When Dorie heard that, she chuckled, "Thatâs good enough, cheers!"
"Cheers!"
And so, Annabelle accompanied Dorie to drink.
When Dorie was so drunk that she fell asleep on the couch, Annabelle didnât disturb her. She simply let her sleep on the couch. Annabelle went inside the room and brought her a blanket. When Annabelle looked at her sleeping, she couldnât help but sighed.
Although Dorie said plenty, she still couldnât help but worry about her.
After making sure that she was sound asleep, Annabelle breathed a sigh of relief. She took out her phone and called Alistair to pick her up.
When Annabelle walked down, Alistair was already waiting for her downstairs. The moment Annabelle saw him, she quickened her steps and hugged the man.
Alistair was stunned as he looked at the woman in his hug. His lips curled up, "Whatâs wrong?"
Annabelle hugged him and exclaimed, "Nothing... I simply think that I am truly fortunate, to share this mutual love with you!"
Alistairâs lips curled up and looked at Annabelle, "Miss Xia, you are getting more and more inviting lately!"

"Of course... I love it!" After saying that, Alistair raised her chin and kissed her lips gently.
No matter how Annabelle acts, he would always love her. And he couldnât resist his love towards her.
The couple hugged each other under the streetlight, their shadows intertwined together and wouldnât separate...
