Remarriage Failed Again Today-Chapter 100: It Was My Own Request, I Don’t Love Him Anymore

Annabelle Linton was in high spirits. She cheerfully said she’d call someone to clean up, then walked out the door with her two bags, never looking back.

"Damn it!"

Leona Grant watched her walk away, looking so effortlessly cool, and smashed something in a fit of rage.

...

The apartment Annabelle Linton rented was fully furnished.

Looking at the cozy little home before her, she couldn’t stop smiling. She finally had a home of her own.

Annabelle Linton happily set about arranging her new home, just as she had once done for the home she shared with Leona Grant.

Even though her hand was aching, she savored every moment of it.

That evening, Ryan called. Annabelle felt there was no reason to hide things from him, so she asked him to come over.

The moment Ryan Linton walked in the door and saw the state she was in, he launched into a tirade. "It’s only been a few days and you’ve already let yourself get like this? Annabelle Linton, let me ask you something, how old are you? How can a grown woman not know how to take care of herself? You think it’s cool to go around looking like a wreck all the time, is that it?"

To Annabelle, everything seemed adorable at the moment. Seeing her handsome younger brother scolding her with such a stern face made him look even cuter, and she just kept staring at him with a smile.

"Hey, you’re still smiling? Are you high or something? What’s so funny, huh? Be serious! If you don’t give me an explanation today, I’m not done with you! A woman your age, still so irresponsible! What are you going to do when you’re old? And I’m warning you, stop laughing!"

Annabelle burst out laughing. She fell back on the bed, thoroughly enjoying the drama, and continued to laugh. "When I get old, I’ll come live with you. I’ll make it my mission to embarrass you, cause trouble for you all day, and turn your house upside down just to drive you mad."

"Don’t even think about it. I don’t know you," Ryan Linton said, his face still stern, his anger not fully subsided. "You’re not getting away with this that easily. If you don’t give me an explanation, I’ll..."

"You’ll what?"

"I’ll..." Ryan finally settled on what he thought was the most severe consequence he could offer. "If you don’t explain yourself, I won’t talk to you for a whole month!"

Annabelle just laughed even harder, and Ryan was so angry he looked like he could have strangled her.

Seeing that they had joked around enough, Annabelle sat up and looked at him. "I’m getting a divorce."

It was like a bomb had just been dropped, and Ryan felt like he was at ground zero. "What did you say?!"

"As soon as your birthday is over, I’m divorcing Leona Grant. In three or four days, your big sister will be a free agent again—a single woman!"

Ryan still looked incredulous. "Are you kidding me?"

"Do I look like I’m kidding?"

He looked at her. She really wasn’t.

He asked again, his voice laced with anxiety, "Annabelle, did something happen? If something’s wrong, you can’t just hide it and keep it to yourself. I’m capable of helping now. I can face it all with you, so please don’t treat me like a kid. Also... are you divorcing him willingly?"

A warm feeling spread through Annabelle’s heart as she looked at the worried young man before her.

Her life had never been smooth sailing—it had left her covered in scars. But Ryan was the ray of sunshine that always soothed her soul. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

She still remembered when she was seventeen. Leona Grant had been kidnapped, and she had taken a bullet for him, leaving her in a vegetative state for a year.

Throughout that time, Ryan had been the one by her side. She would never forget how he had cried as if his world were ending the moment she woke up.

She had been in a coma for two months of that time, and Ryan had been the one to care for her. In those two months, he had lost over twenty pounds.

A wave of warmth washed over Annabelle’s heart. She lowered her gaze as a tear escaped and fell. "Nothing’s wrong. We’re just getting a divorce. I asked for it. I don’t love him anymore."
