Chapter 363: Chapter 361: Why Did We Become Like This? 3
He kept saying he’d make it up to her, but in reality, he had no idea how to even begin healing the wounds he’d inflicted.
He understood why she wanted to leave.
But the moment he thought of her, of how she would have nothing to do with him from now on, it hurt to breathe.
At this moment, he finally understood why so many people in this world wished they could drink Forgetful Water.
If he could forget her by drinking the Forgetful Water, he would do it, even if it meant shortening his life by twenty years.
But it didn’t exist... There was no Forgetful Water in this world...
Leona Grant closed his eyes and walked forward numbly.
"Leona Grant, can you just get lost? I’m so sick of you. Will you just let me go?"
"Why are you so detestable? I said I hate you, and I mean it! Are you a psycho?"
"Leona Grant, let’s get a divorce. I’ll agree to anything, as long as you agree to divorce me."
"Leona Grant, who do you think you are? Do you think I’m still the same Annabelle Linton you can summon and dismiss at will? The twenty years of feelings I had for you have been worn down to nothing!"
"Leona Grant, you think you’re worthy of being compared to him?"
"Leona Grant, why don’t you just go die? If I had a knife in my hand, I’d stab you without a second thought, and then I’d stab you again!"
"Leona Grant, there’s nothing cheaper than your affection. To me, your ’love’ is a disgrace. I don’t need it, understand?"
"Leona Grant, in your eyes, I’m just a dog!"
’That’s not true, Annabelle Linton!’
’How could you possibly be a dog?’
’Annabelle Linton, you’re not a dog. You’re the woman I love most in this world. I love you so, so much, do you know that?’
’Annabelle Linton, are we really going to miss our chance like this?’
’Annabelle Linton, I’m truly trying to melt your frozen heart with all the warmth I have.’
’Were you moved at all?’
’Probably not...’
’Then tell me, what can I do to make you come back? Tell me. Even if it costs me my life, I’ll find a way to win you back.’
’Annabelle Linton, I’ll give you my life. Just give me one more chance, please?’
’Annabelle Linton, Leona Grant can’t live without you...’
At that moment, Leona Grant finally understood.
The truth was, he had developed feelings for Annabelle Linton long ago.
But he had subconsciously resisted those feelings, rejected her as a person, because of his old impression of her.
Otherwise, his heart wouldn’t have ached again and again whenever she tried to leave.
If only he had realized it sooner, admitted it sooner.
Then perhaps he wouldn’t have hurt her time and time again, his cold words slowly devouring the love she had fought so hard to maintain.
So, this was him getting what he deserved, wasn’t it? Not cherishing something until it was gone, only to desperately try and get it back.
Leona Grant finally let out a laugh.
A heart-wrenching, soul-tearing laugh.
He had lived his entire life with a sense of superiority, but never had he felt a moment more hopeless than this.
He walked forward mechanically, not knowing what to do or how to stop the ache in his heart.
"Brother..."
Ashley Grant watched Leona Grant with a pained expression, her eyes red-rimmed.
’What should I do? It seems like there’s really no hope for my brother and sister-in-law anymore. What’s going to happen to him?’
’And what about me?’
’I just got together with Ryan Linton. If he finds out I’m the second daughter of the Grant Family, will we still have a chance?’
Ashley Grant’s heart ached. She truly didn’t know what to do.
She was so distraught that she skipped school for several days in a row.
On the fourth day of messing around in bars with her deadbeat friends, Ryan Linton finally tracked her down!
