Remarriage Failed Again Today

"..." She wanted to get out of there.

Leona Grant looked at her speechless expression and found it adorable. A hint of laughter in his voice, he asked, "Why aren’t you talking?"

Annabelle Linton’s lips twitched. "Done with your wild imagination? You believe me now?"

"Of course, I believe you." He watched her nonchalantly. "You’re not blind. Would you pass up a perfect husband like me to go for him?"

"..." ’It’s impossible to talk to him.’

Seeing her speechless expression, Leona Grant’s face fell. "You don’t actually like him, do you?!"

"..."

Annabelle Linton pushed him away and walked forward.

’She finally got it. Explanations were useless. He only believed what he wanted to believe, so what was the point of explaining anything?’

The moment Leona Grant saw her reaction, he knew she was angry.

’Why was she angry? Wasn’t it because he didn’t believe her?’

’So she really only felt guilty toward Aaron Wyatt.’

Leona Grant chased after her and hugged her from behind, kissing her cheek. "I believe you. I’ll believe anything you say."

"Let go!"

"Never. I’m not letting go. I’ll never let go of you again!"

Annabelle Linton didn’t say anything.

Leona Grant turned her around to face him, looking at her seriously. "But I still really want to know why you’ve forgiven me."

"You think it was too soon?"

"How could I? I’ve been waiting for this day for a very long time." He pressed his lips together, his expression gradually turning sorrowful. "I thought... you would never forgive me..."

’If I hadn’t accidentally learned about what happened in our past life, I probably really wouldn’t have forgiven him.’

’Basing everything on a dream, letting go of all that hatred—it was too absurd. But then again, wasn’t being reborn absurd in itself?’

’She was reborn because she had died a tragic death. So, she also believed that Leona Grant had died too. But because he had done so many wrong things in the past, he hadn’t been allowed to be reborn.’

’But fate still arranged for them to be together. Because he had also died in the end, they were given a chance to know the truth.’

’The world is fair to everyone.’

Annabelle Linton believed in the dream. First, because it was logical, and second, because of her intuition.

The truth was... Annabelle Linton had always loved him. It had been twenty years of feelings, after all. In their past life, no matter what happened, even when she was at her lowest, Annabelle Linton had never given up on loving him. She had only refused to forgive him because, after being reborn, she believed he had killed her and their child for Vivian Yates.

But now she knew he wasn’t the one who killed her and their child. It wasn’t his intention. And in the end, he had died for her.

’Should I still hate him?’

’Does it really feel good to hate someone?’

Leona Grant waited for her to speak, but she fell silent again...

To put it bluntly... another thought suddenly occurred to Leona Grant...

’Is she planning to get revenge on me—’

’The kind of revenge where she says she likes me, builds me up to the heavens, and then just leaves, abandoning me to my own fate...’

’It’s mainly because I really did hurt her so deeply...’

With that thought, Leona Grant voiced his fear in a more tactful way. "Annabelle Linton... no matter what, if you don’t love me, if you hate me, if you don’t forgive me, I won’t blame you. It’s all understandable. But you... can you please not lie to me or something? Are you drunk... and just..."

"And just talking nonsense because I’m drunk?"

Leona Grant pressed his lips together and nodded.

"..." ’Don’t people usually speak the truth when they’re drunk? Besides, while I’ve had a lot to drink and I’m a bit tipsy, I’m not blackout drunk.’

A pang of heartache washed over her again. ’Why doesn’t he believe me?’

Annabelle Linton hooked her arms around his neck, pulled him closer, and kissed his lips.

"Why won’t you believe me?"
