Remarriage Failed Again Today

Patrick Grant paused for a moment before continuing, "Of course, Grandpa isn’t saying you should have to suffer. What Grandpa means is, from now on, let’s all try to discuss things as a family.

"Don’t you worry about that rascal Leona. He’ll get what’s coming to him for the days you were gone. But Annabelle, if you decide to leave again, could you tell Grandpa first...? Everyone in the family really hated to see you go..."

Leona Grant: "..."

The maids chimed in from the side, "It’s true, Young Madam. After you left, the Old Master even fell gravely ill..."

Hearing this, Annabelle Linton felt a pang of sadness. Her voice was low and hoarse as she said, "I’m sorry, Grandpa. It’s my fault. I wasn’t being considerate of you."

Patrick Grant waved his hand dismissively and shot an innocent Leona Grant a vicious glare. "Not at all, not at all. How could this be your fault? If anyone’s to blame, it’s all on that scoundrel, Leona!"

Leona Grant: "..."

Leona Grant was feeling rather down.

’Grandpa, I’m a married man now. I have a wife. Can’t you let me save a little face in front of our family?’

And just like that, Annabelle Linton, a radiant little sun, was swept inside by the family, leaving him standing there all alone.

...Leona Grant felt that he had lost all status in this family.

But a few hours later, he would discover that this was nothing...

Annabelle Linton was truly busy—mainly because she was just too popular!

During dinner, everyone except his father was falling over themselves to put food on her plate, fussing over her, and treating her like a revered ancestor.

Patrick Grant: "Move those shrimp that Annabelle likes in front of her. Annabelle loves those."

Ashley Grant: "Sister-in-law, you have to try this! These chicken wings are my mom’s specialty. They’re super delicious. Quick, have one!"

Roxanne Jennings: "Annabelle, drink this soup. It’s very nourishing."

Leona Grant shot several glances her way, but she never once looked back at him.

Nathan Grant silently placed a piece of green pepper on his plate. "Eat up. The color is nice."

Leona Grant: "..."

After dinner, he thought he could put on a pouty face or something to trick her into kissing him.

But he was sorely mistaken...

Annabelle Linton couldn’t sit still even after the meal was over!

One moment she was playing Chinese chess with Grandpa, the next she was playing games with Ashley Grant, and then she was brewing tea for his dad.

Just when Leona Grant thought he could finally get a word in with her, she started chatting with his mother!

Leona Grant: "..."

After all that, the whole family thought Annabelle Linton was perfect no matter how you looked at her—so capable, so well-behaved, so considerate.

As for Leona Grant, on the other hand, everyone looked at him with only one thought in mind: *What a blind fool!*

"..."

Leona Grant’s heart felt utterly cold.

Roxanne Jennings and Annabelle Linton were chatting off to the side.

Roxanne Jennings looked at Annabelle Linton with a gentle smile. "Annabelle, I don’t mean anything by this, I just want to ask you something."

Annabelle Linton nodded politely. "Please, Mom, go ahead."

Roxanne Jennings pondered for a moment before looking at her and saying, "I want to know... what are your feelings for Leona right now? But please don’t misunderstand me. Just be honest. Whatever your answer is, I can accept it."

Annabelle Linton smiled and said, "The feelings a wife has for her husband."

Roxanne Jennings looked at her, confused. "But you..."

Annabelle Linton smiled again, her gaze dropping as she spoke calmly, "Mom, I’ve loved Leona for over twenty years. I know better than anyone what it took to make it through all this time, step by step. But I never once thought about giving up, because I truly believed that one day, he would turn and finally see me. That he would see everything I’ve given, and he would come to love me."
