My Killing President
Chapter 368 Conflict 2

It wasn't even enough even if Alistair were to sacrifice his life for her. As long as he did not make himself clear, she wouldn't be assuming things. Even if all it took was just a most simple word of confession!

She must get that affirmation!

Alistair looked at Annabelle and he slowly drew closer to her. He looked into her eyes intently and seriously.

"What do you want to hear?"

"It is not what I want to hear but what you have to say!" Annabelle said.

Both of them were equally as smart. Whoever gave their word first would mean they are the one that conceded first.

And so...

The two of them stared into each other's eyes for a long time.

Finally, Alistair simply looked at her and said, "I want you!"

Annabelle, "... Just that?"

"If not? What else do you want?" Alistair stared at her and asked back.

At that moment, Annabelle laughed.

Fortunately, she didn't say anything. Otherwise, she would be the one getting embarrassed for overthinking!

"Nothing!" She got up and pushed Alistair away, "What you want is what you want and I am not obliged to give it to you. If you were to force yourself on me, there's nothing I can do. But I will hate you!" After saying that, Annabelle went back to her own bed. Alistair simply stood by her bed side. When he saw Annabelle's smile, he felt a pain in his heart.

He wanted to take back what he said but he realized that he couldn't do it. The man simply stared stupidly as she climbed up her own bed.

"Annabelle..." He opened his mouth and wanted to say something.

"I'm tired and I am going to sleep. Suit yourself!" After saying that, Annabelle lied down and turned away.

Alistair stood there and watched her back. The man was speechless...

The next day.

Early in the morning, when the nurse was making rounds, she smelled food and alcohol.

"Did the two of you eat and drink here?" The nurse asked.

"No, I think it was someone else that left their food here!" Annabelle explained.

When the nurse heard that, she nodded. After she was done with her routine checks, she left.

Annabelle did not cast a look at Alistair from the beginning till the end.

Alistair's eyebrows knitted closely and he was staring at her all the time.

However, Annabelle did not look at him at all.

Soon after, grandma Mu came.

The woman had departed early in the morning.

Knowing that her prized grandson and beloved granddaughter in law were here, she was just excited to come.

"Alistair, Annabelle, how are the two of you feeling? Did you have a good rest? Grandma had prepared some bone broth for the two of you, it will be good for your recovery!" The grandmother said.

Her greeting felt as if she was talking to a newlywed.

But since the old woman had always acted that way, Annabelle didn't mind.

Her lips curled up and she said, "Thank you, grandma. I will make sure to drink more of it!"

"If you like it then just drink more. If it's not enough, I will prepare more next time!"

"Okay, then I will help myself!" Annabelle said.

Alistair was still staring at Annabelle when grandma Mu called out to him, "Alistair, you should drink more too!"

Only then had Alistair come back to his senses and he nodded in acknowledgment, "Got it!"

The old woman had an intuition that something was wrong between the two.

It felt as if they turned into strangers all of a sudden.

Grandma Mu looked at the two of them and then walked towards Alistair.

"Come, Alistair, drink some!"

Alistair took over the bowl of soup. Before he takes a sip, the grandmother asked, "Did anything happened yesterday?"

Alistair was stunned and he raised his head to look at the grandmother. The man shook his head and said, "No!"

"Stop lying. Something must have happened. I can tell that the atmosphere between the two of you isn't right!" Grandma Mu said.0000
