Remarriage Failed Again Today

Leona Grant was furious.

’She’s practically rebelling against me!’

’First, there was Aaron Wyatt. I let my guard down for a moment, and the two of them nearly got married and left the country. And now there’s this Mr. Holland?’

’Look at that star-struck expression on her face. I always thought she wasn’t very expressive, but I guess it just depends on the person!’

’An idol? Pulling an all-nighter to study up on him? Something "immensely significant"?’

’To hell with all of that!’

He subconsciously glanced at Annabelle Linton.

’Damn it, she’s never gotten this dressed up for me before!’

Leona Grant’s face darkened as he demanded, "Leaving your husband at home to go be with another man, do you think that’s fair to me?!"

Annabelle Linton: "..."

’What is he even talking about?’

With a non-negotiable look on his face, Leona Grant pushed her down onto the bed, his domineering aura surrounding her. "You’re not going anywhere today!"

Annabelle Linton was fuming. Not to be outdone, she yelled back, "Why are you being so unreasonable? Do you have to be this tyrannical? It’s just an event I promised to go to!"

"Just look at yourself right now! You’re arguing with me like this over an ’event.’ Is that just some ordinary event?"

Thinking about her and Aaron Wyatt recently, Leona Grant felt a baseless anxiety.

’She felt guilty toward Aaron Wyatt, so what does she feel for this Quentin Holland?’

The look of adoration on her face just now made him panic.

Instinctively, he didn’t want her to meet this Quentin Holland.

He hid it well, however, putting on a self-righteous air. "I told you not to go. I said I’d be upset if you did, but you still insist on going! Am I that much less important to you than other people?! Annabelle Linton, let me tell you something. You’re mine! If I say you can’t go, you can’t go!"

"You’re being completely irrational!"

"So not letting you go see another man is being irrational?"

He kissed her lips forcefully. "Then I guess I’m being irrational!"

With that, he pushed her down and crushed his lips against hers.

Annabelle Linton pounded on his chest, but he only deepened the kiss.

He kissed her for a good while, only stopping when Annabelle Linton had no strength left to struggle.

Leona Grant looked at her petulantly and said childishly, "I’m still not letting you go!"

"..." Annabelle Linton was so exasperated she almost had to laugh.

She looked at him.

His lips were covered in her lipstick, and with that childish expression he didn’t even realize he was making, she suddenly found him incredibly cute.

Annabelle Linton couldn’t help but laugh. Wiping the lipstick from his mouth with her finger, she looked at his adorable face and said, "I’m just going to attend a ceremony. I’ll be back soon. What’s all this fuss about?"

Leona Grant had been planning to have a huge fight with her, but he didn’t expect her to laugh again.

"..."

He felt a little lost, but he followed her lead, frowning and saying awkwardly, "Why do you have so many senior classmates, upperclassmen, and close guy friends? I... I don’t want you to go..."

Leona Grant wasn’t wrong. Annabelle Linton did indeed have many older male classmates... and many older female ones, too.

She didn’t have many friends in the country. Most of her friends were abroad.

Thanks to her innocent looks and sweet, adorable personality, Annabelle Linton was incredibly popular. As a legendary junior, she was well-liked by practically everyone.

When Annabelle Linton heard what Leona Grant said, it took her a few seconds for it to sink in.

’...Oh. I get it now.’

’So that’s what this is about. He’s jealous.’

’No wonder he kept going on about "another man." ’

Just now, they had been caught up in the heat of the moment, bickering back and forth, and she hadn’t had a chance to really think.

’Am I that much less important to you than other people...?’
