My Killing President
Chapter 710 Leaving

At that time, Ralphy Xia came back. The moment he opened the door, he saw Waynie Xu standing inside. After that, the man's eyes were fixed on the document she was holding. Waynie Xu was stunned as well. She didn't expect Ralphy Xia to come back so soon.

"Ralphy..." Waynie Xu called out.

Ralphy Xia walked inside emotionlessly, "Mom, what are you doing here?"

"Why didn't you tell me that something so serious is happening!? Why are you hiding it from me?" Waynie Xu asked. Now that she learnt about it, there was no point in hiding anymore. "Mom, there is no need for you to care about this!" After saying that, Ralphy Xia walked over and grabbed the document from Waynie Xu's hand. The man simply threw it on the desk. "Ralphy!"

"Mum!" All of a sudden, Ralphy Xia raised his voice. The office was pin drop silence and Waynie Xu was intimidated.

Ralphy Xia realized that he had crossed the line. The man averted his gaze and spoke with a softer tone, "Can you let me handle this myself?"

His tone was riled, repressed and helpless.

Waynie Xu stood behind him and looked at him. In the end, there was nothing she could say and she left the office shaking her head.

Ralphy Xia was left alone in the office. The quietness echoed in his hollowed heart. He sat on the couch and grabbed his hair in vex...

When Annabelle Xia found out about that, she was stunned.

She hadn't expected things to turn out that way. She thought that they would reconcile and everything would go back to normal. She just learnt that she was wrong.

Annabelle Xia looked at Waynie Xu and comforted the mother, "Mum, don't worry. Maybe things wasn't as bad as you think!"

"I don't want to worry either. But Renee had already signed her name. What actually happened? Why must it end with a divorce!?" Waynie Xu said. The mother was just frustrated. From the beginning, she had noticed that things weren't as simple as it seemed. Now the greatest fear of hers happened.

Annabelle Xia looked at Waynie Xu and didn't know what to say.

She thought that after the earlier episode, Renee An had let go. She hadn't expected her to do such an extreme decision.

"I will go talk to Renee. Mum, don't cry..." Annabelle Xia coaxed her.

"How are you supposed to do that? She had already changed and number, I can't even replace her!" After knowing that, the mother had called Renee An right away. But she couldn't get through her.

"What about the An family?"

"I can't get through them as well. It seemed that Sky An was in it as well. What actually happened!?" Waynie Xu looked at Annabelle Xia and asked. When she looked at them acting so secretively, she knew that something big must be happening. Annabelle Xia looked at her and didn't know how to answer. It was just impossible to tell others what happened...

Since they couldn't get through the An family, that meant Sky An knew about it. Annabelle Xia pondered for a while and she recalled that someone could help her.

In the coffee house.

Renee An was sitting by the window. The woman was wearing a casual get-up and her shoulder length hair was let loose. There was a cup of coffee in front of her. When the evening sunlight shone inside, she looked beautiful like a picture. The woman was a little anxious and kept checking on her watch. At that moment, Annabelle Xia walked inside.

The moment Renee An saw her, she showed a surprised gaze.

Annabelle Xia walked over and sat down, "Sister!"

Only then, Renee An realized that they had tricked her.

"Please don't blame Jerry. I was the one that forced him to do that!" Annabelle Xia was able to guess Renee An's feeding and she hurriedly shouldered the responsibility.

"What business do you have with me?" Renee An asked. She lifted her cup of coffee and averted her face outside the window.

"Why are you doing that?" Annabelle Xia asked directly. She stared intently at Renee An face. Just a few days and she seemed to have lost weight.

"What?" Renee An pretended to not understand.

"You know what I am talking about. You even changed your phone number. Was that just to avoid us?" Annabelle Xia asked.

Renee An remained quiet.

"I thought after that day, you had let go. I didn't expect you to make such an extreme decision!"

Renee An remained quiet.

"You are so worried about my brother. Why did you do that?"

Renee An continued to remain quiet.

When Annabelle Xia saw that she wasn't speaking and simply stared staring at the coffee in front of her, her eyebrows knitted closely. She decided to speak straightforwardly.

"My brother was discharged. His wound hasn't healed one bit but he went back to work immediately!"

The moment Renee An heard that, her body tensed up.

She raised her head and looked at Annabelle Xia.

Judging from her reaction, Annabelle Xia knew that she still loved Ralphy Xia. As she thought about that, she began to speak more dramatically, "That day, you asked someone to deliver the document to him. After receiving it, he shut himself in his room for half an hour. After that he simply discharged himself. The man had been working non-stop and he simply stayed in the company. He hadn't been eating nor drinking..." Although that was a little exaggerated, Ralphy Xia had a very bad appetite and he would skip meals from time to time.

When Renee An heard that, her eyes were widened, "Then, what about now?"

"He still in the company!"

Renee An was taken aback. Although she was worried sick, she tried her best to act unbothered.

When Annabelle Xia saw that she had let down her defenses, she moved closer and said, "Sis, I know you care for brother. But why are you..."

"Annabelle, what I am doing is best for him and me..." Before she finished, Renee An interrupted her.

Annabelle Xia frowned.

After that, Renee An continued, "We wouldn't be able to force our feelings. This is the best outcome for me and him!"

When Annabelle Xia heard that, her eyebrows lowered slightly, "You still can't let go about that matter?"

"It's not that!" Renee An denied, "I was the one that realized it too late. Even without that matter, the one your brother loved wouldn't be me. That had been the fact since the beginning. If that's the case, it is better to separate then to let two persons suffer together!" Annabelle Xia frowned, "Renee, actually..."

"Annabelle, I know you meant well and you don't have to feel guilty. Even without what happened, this is our fated ending. I have already made up my mind!" Renee An said determinedly.

"As for your brother... Please get him to rest properly!"

"You still cared for him!"

"We are husband and wife after all. Even if that was half the fact, it is just normal for me to care for him!"

Annabelle Xia didn't know what to say. Renee An seemed like a meek woman but she had a stubborn bone inside.

"No matter what, I must tell you this: although you might think that brother doesn't love you, but that was just because you haven't notice his true feelings yet. He wasn't a person that could express himself in words. And he would simply hide everything inside his heart. I can tell that he treats you differently.

Renee An didn't register that. She simply stood up and said, "I still have something important and I shall leave first. After he signed the document, just get someone to send it to my company. Please ask him to hurry up!" After saying that, she simply walked away. Annabelle Xia stood up after her. She hadn't expected Renee An to be so stubborn.

Annabelle Xia breathed a long sigh.

After Renee An went back, she shut herself in her room.

She was the one that stubbornly wanted to divorce Ralphy Xia and she didn't want to disclose the reason. Not only that, she forbade the parents to go look for Ralphy Xia. That had completely frustrated Sky An and Claudia Yun.

Now the daughter came back and shut herself in the room.

Claudia Yun looked at the daughter and asked, "How was your talk with Jerry?"

Jerry?

He was the one that invited her out but it changed to Annabelle Xia...

"It was all right!" Renee An answered perfunctorily.

When the mother saw that the daughter was in a bad mood, she frowned, "You are such a stubborn child!"

Renee An didn't say anything and simply looked back at her mother.

"Renee, can't you just tell your mother what happened?"

When Renee An knew that her mother wanted to start nagging again, she fumed in anger, "Mum, how many times do you want me to repeat?! I don't like him. I dislike him! Can you just stop asking!?" The daughter's motion was just transparent on her face. Did she thought her mother couldn't understand her?

Whenever Renee An looked at Ralphy Xia, her eyes were gleaming in adoration. How could she not like him? The mother knew that something must have happened but she just didn't know what. "Renee, marriage isn't a child's play. It is a lifelong responsibility..."

"Mum, it is impossible between me and him, can you stop talking about this?" Renee An seemed to be very frustrated.

When the mother saw that she was in such a foul mood, she knew she couldn't continue.

At that moment, Sky An came up and looked at them. The father wanted to ask the same question as well. But the moment he saw Claudia Yun's eye gesture, he swallowed his questions. The father was just cosseting and forbearing towards his daughter.

"Renee, if you are unhappy, do you want to go take a walk with me?" The father suggested.

"There's no need for that, I want to sleep!"

When Sky An heard her reply, there was nothing he could say and he simply nodded, "All right then, take a good rest. We will go out now!"

Renee An nodded and the parents went out her room.

After they left, Renee An lied in the bed absentmindedly. She wasn't sleepy but she just didn't want anyone to bother her.

As she was lying like that, she slowly fell asleep.

When she woke up, it was already afternoon. When she recalled her rude attitude towards her parents earlier, she wanted to go downstairs to look for Sky An and Claudia Yun.

The moment she went downstairs, she heard the parents talking.

She walked down the stairs and called out to them, "Dad, mom!"

When Yun Y saw Renee An coming down, her lips curled up, "Renee, you are up! How do you feel? Are you hungry?"

Renee An shook her head, "I'm not." She walked over and sat on the couch, "What were the two of you talking about?"

"It's nothing much. We will be working together with the London branch!"

"London?" Renee An raised an eyebrow.

Sky An nodded.

All of a sudden, there was an idea that flashed in Renee An's mind.

The woman had grown up in London. After growing up, she moved back and slowly forgotten about her lives there. And now...

The moment she thought about that place, she felt a sudden impulse.

"Renee, Renee..." The mother nudged her.

Renee An came back to her senses and looked at her, "Yes?"

"What were you thinking?"

Renee An pondered for a while and bit her lips, "Dad, mom, I have an idea..."

"What idea?" Claudia Yun and Sky An looked at Renee An.

"I, I want to go London..." Renee An looked at her parents and said diffidently.

To her greatest surprise, Sky An was completely supportive of her. He smiled and said, "Just go then, it is good for you to go for a short travel! You wouldn't be in a good mood to stay at home all the time!" The father was agreeable. Claudia Yun nodded as well, "Exactly, it is much better than staying at home all the time!"

When Renee An heard that her parents were supportive, she smiled and said, "What if I want to stay there for some time?"

Stay there for some time?

The parents looked at each other and Claudia Yun looked at Renee An worriedly, "What do you mean by some time?"

"I don't know either. I wish to go there to study. I have always wanted to experience the culture and lifestyle over there. Therefore, I want to take this chance to go over there!" Renee An said smilingly.

The parents could tell that Renee An planned to go there to escape from her problems. Not to study.

She wanted to escape the conflict between her and Ralphy Xia.

"But, how long will you be staying there?" The mother asked.

"Since it is for a study, it should take some time. But I will be visiting the two of you from time to time!" Renee An said smilingly.

When Claudia Yun heard that, she knew that the daughter would be staying there for an extended period of time.

"Renee, you..." Claudia Yun looked at her. Although the daughter was simply talking about it whimsically, the mother could feel that she had made up her mind.

"Are you serious in going there?"

Renee An smiled, "Mum, I simply want to change my life and improve myself. It's not that I am not coming back, I might be coming back in just after one year!" Renee An said.

Claudia Yun and Sky An looked at each other. Their gaze was just filled with helplessness.

At that time, Renee An simply sat in between the parents and wrapped her arms around their arm, "Dad, mom, it's not that I am not coming back. Please don't show that expression, okay? I am your daughter, how could I leave you alone?" The parents were just powerless whenever Renee An acted like that. There was just nothing they could do to reject her.

"But after you go there, we wouldn't be able to see you anymore. We will be very bored!" Claudia Yun said.

"Sigh, maybe it is better for you to change your surroundings!" Sky An said.

"Dad, have you agreed?!"

"I wish for you to change the surrounding as well and change the mood. But please don't take too long. Your daddy will miss you!" Sky An said. The father wished for his daughter to get through this emotional pain. Renee An smiled, "Thank you, daddy! I will definitely miss you!" After saying that, she leaned on Sky An's shoulder and let out a coquettish chuckle.

When the father saw her smiling, his heart was at peace. The daughter's happiness was his greatest joy.

"When do you plan to move?" The father asked.

"Hmm, I will start packing and book my flight. After I reached there, I still have to look for a place to stay. I will go as soon as I get ready!" An room and replied.

"Daddy will get someone to look for a house for you. You simply need to pack your own stuffs!"

"Okay, thank you daddy!" A cheerful smile blossomed on Renee An's face.

That was the first time after a long while that the parents saw her smiling so joyously.

At that time, the housekeeper interrupted them from behind, "Sir, Madam, dinner is ready. Would you like to eat now?"

When Sky An heard that, he looked at Renee An, "Let's go to the dining table and discuss it over the dinner, what do you think?"

"Sure!" After saying that, the father and daughter walked towards the back. When Claudia Yun looked at the back of the husband and daughter, she smiled heartily.

That was her most restful smile after such a long time.

In the dining table.

Renee An was enjoying her dinner. She was smiling all the time and the parents just missed her cheerful expression...

Although Renee An had passed the divorce agreement to Ralphy Xia. He hadn't been signing it until now.

The document was still on his desk and he didn't touch it at all.

Ever since he discharged himself from the hospital, he had been spending most of his time in the company. Getting early to work and coming back home late in the night. When he reached home, it was already midnight. Fortunately, Waynie Xu and Teneria Xia gave a strict instruction to the assistant to get him to supervise Ralphy Xia's diet and health condition. Otherwise, they just wouldn't know what would happen to him.

With how he was abusing his body, his wound got infected and he was admitted into the hospital due to a high fever.

Waynie Xu guarded by Ralphy Xia's bed side. As she looked at him, she just couldn't stop weeping.

When Ralphy Xia woke up and saw Waynie Xu, he frowned, "Mum!"

When Waynie Xu saw him waking up, she was worried. But after that she looked at him furiously, "Do you still think of me as your mother?!"

When Ralphy Xia saw that her mother's eyes were red, he frowned, "Mum, what's wrong?"

"Must you always worry me like that?" Waynie Xu sobbed. She was considerate and careful not to say anything because she was afraid to hurt his feelings. However, the man got himself admitted into the hospital again. When Ralphy Xia saw how the mother cried, he had a pained expression, "Mom, sorry for worrying you..."

"Since you know your actions would worry me, please change and don't let me worry anymore!" Waynie Xu said.

Ralphy Xia frowned. He could feel a pulsing pain on his stomach region.

When Annabelle Xia watched from the side, she approached the bed side and said, "Mum, brother just woke up and he must be hungry. Why not you go get him something to eat?"

Waynie Xu looked at Ralphy Xia's pale face and she nodded right away. The mother wiped off her tears and stood up, "I'll go get you something to eat!"

After saying that, she walked out the room.

Annabelle Xia and Ralphy Xia were the only ones left in the ward.

Ralphy Xia lied in the bed and he looked completely lifeless. Annabelle Xia simply sat by his bedside.

"Bro..." She looked at Ralphy Xia and spoke slowly, "I met Renee a few days ago!"

When Ralphy Xia heard that, he showed a slight response but didn't say anything.

"I have known about what happened between the two of you!"

Ralphy Xia said nothing and listened to Annabelle Xia quietly.

"Renee is a good woman. You should have known how difficult it is for her to make that decision. And I could tell that you treated her differently. Why can't you just try harder?"

Ralphy Xia simply stared at the ceiling.

"That day, Renee An woke up in the middle of the night and she rushed into your ward right away. She stayed up whole night to take care of you..."

When Ralphy Xia heard that, he tilted his head and looked at Annabelle Xia. His gaze was filled with surprise.

"The next morning, she spoke to me and told me many things. I could tell that she had let go already. Bro, do you really don't know the reason behind her doing that?" Annabelle Xia looked at him and asked.

Renee An was an innocent woman that looked forward to love. But now, she was a woman that was experiencing love.

She wasn't simply looking forward and waited for her love. But in the process, she had learnt to love and learnt to sacrifice for love.

It was important to learn to let go and also to chase after love. Love was a game of cat and mouse, push and pull...

This was the moment for Renee An to learn to let go in love.

Ralphy Xia lied in the bed and stared at the ceiling. After a long while, he said, "She is a good woman and she deserves better!" After saying that, he smiled bitterly.

Love was not the most complicated thing but the human heart. They love, yet they are afraid to love and accept the fact that they are in love. That was indeed frustrating. Annabelle Xia could tell her brother's difference in attitude towards Renee An. She could tell that he definitely had feelings towards her. However, he just wouldn't admit it.

"Bro, you are not Renee. You don't have the right to make the choice for her. I believe you are more than clear with who she loves and what she wants!" After saying that, Annabelle Xia decided not to speak further. She knew she wouldn't be able to interfere too much into people's relationship. In the end, it all boils down to the decision of both of them.

Annabelle Xia had done everything she could.

At that time, Ralphy Xia turned his head over and looked at her, "You don't have to worry about me, I am fine!"

If only that was true...

It was obvious that the man had feelings towards Renee An but he pretended to be unbothered. Annabelle Xia just didn't know what to say and she decided to leave him alone. With a personality like Ralphy Xia, he needed to come to his senses himself. The man had shut himself in a confined space. Unless he wanted to come at himself, no one could help him.

After staying in the hospital for some time, Waynie Xu came back and Annabelle Xia left.

When Annabelle Xia left the hospital, she wanted to give Renee An a call. However, the woman had changed her cell number and it was most likely useless to contact Jerry again.

After pondering for a while, Annabelle Xia recalled that Renee An always played Blog and she was in her contact list. Therefore, she looked for her account and sent Renee An a personal message.

After sending the message, Annabelle Xia breathed a sigh.

As for how things would turn out, she should just leave it to their fate.

If the both of them truly loved each other, they would end up together in the end. Annabelle Xia had faith on that.

She put her phone back into her bag and walked out the hospital.

Shortly after Annabelle Xia left, Waynie Xu went back as well. Ralphy Xia took out his phone and called his assistant, "Get that document on my desk over here!"00000000
