Chapter 41 Unattractive
Chapter 41 Unattractive
As Mu turned back and leave, his eyes sparkled in mystifying satisfaction…
This time, it was Yoi that had a short circuit.
Brother in law?
So that means Mu’s ex-wife was actually his sister?!
By the time she worked things out, Mu was already few steps ahead. And she hurriedly caught up to
him.
Mu never liked Japanese food. He didn’t like their mild and chilled flavour.
But today, he had an unspeaking meal.
When the meal was almost done, Yoi absent-mindedly asked, “Alistair, your ex-wife was actually
Ralphy’s sister?”
“Yeah, what’s the matter?”
She observed that Mu appeared to be completely unbothered. And she shook her head mildly to stop
overthinking. “Nothing, just asking. What a small world…” She murmured.
Mu couldn’t help but casted his mind back to the time when he first met her…
In his memory she was always wearing something thick and draggy. She had a slouching posture and
on her pale face sat a dull, murky pair of glasses. He recalled she smelled like an old storeroom and
she was unhygienic when she ate.
Her first impression was repulsive to Mu and so he never bothered to pay her further attention after
that.
It was odd that he could recall to the last detail. His nose flared in irritation and a de-appetising stir
crept up from his stomach.
“Don’t remind me of that woman!” Mu grumbled.
If it wasn’t to get on Ralphy’s nerves, he would’ve long forgotten about his ex-wife.
Mu’s reaction was reassuring to Yoi. She can safely presume that his ex-wife was either ugly as sin, or
just generally displeasing.
And furthermore, they had never gotten intimate in the two-year marriage.
Now she got a more pressing problem, Annabelle.
“Oh right, Alistair, any updates with the project Annabelle handles?” She wondered.
Mu raised an eyebrow and looked at her surprisingly, “You didn’t know?”
His respond jolted Yoi and made her palm sweat. “Alistair, I don’t understand what you mean…” She
forced an awkward smile.
Does he already know that I planted someone inside?
No… It must be Annabelle! That wretched woman must’ve told him something! ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
And hatred boiled within her.
“Oh it’s nothing. The contract was signed off and now she is handling this case,” Mu explained.
What? She did it?!
Yoi squinted her eyes.
There weren’t many that could pull off such feat from Mr. He. And unbelievably, Annabelle did it. Now
not only she wouldn’t get into trouble but she was made in charge of the principal case!
Yoi’s face gloomed with poison of jealously, Annabelle must be her nemesis!
However on the other hand, Annabelle was completely unaware about all this.
Not only was she downright uninterested with Alistair, she desperately dreaded and wanted to stay
away from him, as much as possible! lightnoveldaily.com.
