Remarriage Failed Again Today

’Fate has arranged it. Since it has come to this, I’ll just have to find a way to make things right.’

’Aaron Wyatt, I’ve wronged you, and there’s no way to make it up to you. So let me do one last thing for you.’

’A woman like me doesn’t deserve your affection.’

’Give your precious heart to someone else.’

She smiled, took the marriage certificate from Leona Grant, opened it, and handed it to Aaron Wyatt. Smiling, she lied, "Aaron Wyatt, you know I’ve loved him for over twenty years. How could I just let go of feelings that deep?

"Leona was right last time. You were just a tool for me to get my revenge and make him jealous. But thanks to you, he’s finally come back to me.

"Ryan never actually bribed anyone. My goal was to get rid of you. I orchestrated this whole thing. I wasn’t going to tell you, but out of respect for our many years of friendship, I felt I had to.

"From now on, when you’re looking for a girlfriend, remember to keep your eyes wide open, you hear? Don’t be fooled by a bitch like me again. Oh, and thank you for taking care of me all these years. Leona and I are finally getting our happy ending. You’ll wish us well, won’t you?"

Aaron Wyatt and Leona Grant both looked at her at the same time.

Aaron Wyatt felt a sharp, stabbing pain in his heart.

’He knew she was lying. Her goal was to make him give up on her, right?’

’Annabelle Linton, we’ve known each other for seven years. How could I not know what kind of person you are?’

He just felt sorry for her, but all of her misfortune was his fault...

He knew that since he was leaving, he shouldn’t say things that would make her feel guilty.

’But what was he supposed to do?’

’Leave without saying goodbye? That would probably make her feel even more guilty.’

’Tell her everything? Drag her into all the conflict?’

’In the end, we were fated to meet, but not destined to be together...’

Leona Grant didn’t feel good about this either.

’If only everything she just said were true...’

He chuckled and wrapped his arm gently around her. He then smiled at Aaron Wyatt. "Thank you for taking care of my wife all these years. But from now on, she only needs me to look after her. In any case, thank you. However, I hope from this day forward she belongs to me and me alone. Name your price. And stay far away from her from now on, hmm?"

Hearing this, Aaron Wyatt just smiled, his gaze finally landing on Annabelle Linton.

’Leona Grant will be able to protect Annabelle in the future, right?’

He only knew that if he stayed by her side, he would only bring her endless pain.

’I should take this chance to leave.’

Aaron Wyatt asked a question he already knew the answer to. "Annabelle, do you love him?"

He knew she didn’t, and he also knew what her answer would be. This was just so he could give himself a reason to leave.

Even though he knew it was a lie, Leona Grant couldn’t help but feel a flicker of anticipation—

Annabelle Linton lowered her gaze, gave a faint smile, and finally nodded. "I love him. I’ve always loved him very much."

In the end, Aaron Wyatt could only manage a weak smile as his eyes slowly started to turn red.

’Little Annabelle, from this day forward, I will be erased from your life.’

’I once thought I could be your hero, but now, I no longer have the means or the right to be with you.’

’The next time we meet, you have to tell me that you’re happy.’

Aaron Wyatt pressed his lips together, a pale smile forming. "I understand, Annabelle. I wish you happiness."

With that, he walked away, one step at a time.

Annabelle Linton watched his retreating back, tears gradually welling up in her eyes.

Leona Grant gently pulled her into an embrace, saying nothing.

After holding her for what felt like an eternity, Annabelle Linton pushed him away and gave a faint smile. "You should go back first. I still have things to do."

With that, she too walked ahead, one step at a time.

The wind whipped at her eyelashes, making them tremble. Annabelle Linton made her way through the bustling crowd, and once she reached a corner, she broke down and sobbed uncontrollably...
