Annabelle Linton’s composed gaze swept over him. She took in his hurt expression, her eyes completely devoid of emotion.
’The pain and humiliation he’d put her through in her last life were far worse than this.’
’Besides, she was just telling the truth.’
’There was no need for him to co and harass her. He brought this pain on himself, so why should anyone care?’
’She’d brought it all on herself in her last life. Did anyone pity her then?’
Leona Grant pressed his lips together, standing rooted to the spot as he stared at her.
Most of the people on the street were looking at him, so putting their heads together to whisper, others murmuring quietly.
He was so handso that even the crowd seed to favor him.
Surprisingly, no one thought Leona Grant was ridiculous or pathetic, nor did anyone think Annabelle Linton was cruel and cold.
They just thought it was a sha.
They felt that sothing significant must have happened between the two of them.
Leona Grant looked at her exquisite face.
The evening breeze drifted by, bringing life to her features and swaying the hem of her dress.
It stirred his heart and made his mories blur.
The Annabelle Linton he once knew wasn’t like this.
The woman in his mories loved to laugh, loved to cry, loved him, and loved everything.
But the woman she was now didn’t laugh, didn’t cry, didn’t love him, and didn’t love anything at all.
’Was he the one who had turned her into this?’
He didn’t want to admit it.
A sad, lonely smile touched Leona Grant’s lips. He’d lost count of how many tis this had happened.
Just as he was about to speak, he saw a large truck in the distance speeding toward Annabelle, about to slam into her—
Annabelle Linton looked at him impassively for a mont before turning to walk away.
’She had made herself clear. If he was willing to think it over, he would understand.’
’Never seeing each other again was the best outco for them. There was no need for them to keep hurting each other.’
But the mont she looked up, she saw a large truck barreling toward her at top speed.
In that instant, it was as if the entire world fell silent. Strangely, she felt nothing.
There was no fear of death, no panic, no sense of her life being threatened. She just watched the truck draw closer, her desolate, cold eyes filled with a sense of utter detachnt, as if it had nothing to do with her.
She watched the truck get closer, completely unfazed, making no move to get away.
However, in the last second before the collision...
A cold gust of wind swept past. A powerful arm wrapped around her waist and yanked her back with a fierce, almost brutal force, pulling her away!
Annabelle Linton stumbled uncontrollably into an embrace.
Leona Grant held her tightly, his heart pounding wildly in his chest.
’He’d caught her. He’d really caught her!’
In that instant, just as the truck was about to hit her, his entire heart had felt numb, and for a mont, he hadn’t known what to do.
He had saved her purely on instinct.
’Thank God she was okay. Thank God she was okay!’
’Thank God he’d caught her!’
Leona Grant looked at Annabelle Linton, who was frowning, clearly still dazed by what had happened. He felt like he could never get enough of looking at her.
A mont ago, he had been thinking of promising he wouldn’t bother her again. But after that instant, he thought he must have been insane!
’This fool gets hurt the second she’s away from . If I’m not here, how can she possibly take care of herself?!’
He’d made his decision!
’No matter what she says, no matter how she curses , I will never leave her!’
’Annabelle Linton loved for more than twenty years. I’ve only loved her for half a year. What reason do I have to give up?’
’That’s right. I’m not letting her go. Annabelle Linton is mine. She belongs to Leona Grant!’
’Leona Grant cannot be without Annabelle Linton!’
Leona Grant released her, only to cup her beautiful face and plant a hard kiss on it.
Annabelle Linton felt his touch and imdiately snapped back to her senses.
But Leona Grant gave her no chance to push him away. He leaned down and pressed his lips to hers in a fierce kiss—
