Chapter 472: Chapter 471: I Have No Reason to Bother Her Anymore (1)
Then she let go of her. As if trying to stop herself, she turned and fled, completely disregarding her image.
Annabelle Linton stood where she was and smiled. Then she turned, and a single, crystal-clear tear slid from the corner of her eye.
She lowered her gaze, the corners of her lips lifting. ’Me too... It’s just that our entire past lies between us.’
When she went upstairs, Aaron Wyatt didn’t say much or ask any questions. He just gave her a warm smile. "You’re back."
Annabelle Linton hummed a faint "mhm" and went into the bathroom.
...
No matter what monumental events occurred, the sun would still rise, and the Earth would continue to turn.
The wedding day arrived as scheduled.
Unlike the gloomy weather on the day of their engagement party, today was bright and sunny.
The makeup team was waiting outside.
Annabelle Linton walked out in her wedding dress, her expression impassive. The room fell so silent you could hear a pin drop.
Annabelle Linton was, without a doubt, a true beauty. Yes, not just pretty—a *beauty*. The kind who could stun people even without a speck of makeup.
She wore a white wedding gown with a breathtakingly long, layered train. Thanks to her height, she could wear the dress effortlessly even without high heels.
Her long, soft hair was curled, hanging loosely over her shoulders, creating a stunning effect...
After about half a minute of silence, gasps of astonishment broke out, everyone’s eyes shining with intense admiration. "Wow, she’s so beautiful!"
"Oh my god, is she even human? She’s clearly a goddess..."
"Heavens, how can Miss Linton be so gorgeous? I’d be content if I were even half as beautiful as her!"
"Holy crap..."
The legendary "so beautiful you have no friends"...
Tiana Taylor walked over to Annabelle Linton, clicking her tongue and shaking her head. "I’ve decided to break off our friendship. When I go out with you, you steal all the potential flings. I just feel like a telephone pole."
Annabelle Linton gave a faint smile. "Tiana, you’re a married woman. Your husband should be enough for you."
"Tch. Cast a wide net, reap the rewards. Next spring, the flowers will bloom everywhere again. You don’t understand such a simple principle? Let me tell you, the other day I..."
"What net are you casting? And what are you reaping?" Just as Tiana Taylor was about to brag and show off, her husband’s voice cut in unexpectedly.
She turned her head guiltily, saw his face as black as the bottom of a pot, and silently turned back around, covering her face in despair.
Annabelle Linton smiled and said, "She’s craving fish."
"Is that so?"
Tiana Taylor scurried forward like a lackey. "Yes, yes! Let’s go, let’s go find some fish, find some fish..."
With that, she dragged her husband out.
Annabelle Linton’s lips curved upward. She faintly withdrew her gaze, only to turn and find herself lost in a pair of starry eyes as gentle as water.
Aaron Wyatt gazed at her, besotted. A slow smile formed on his lips as he walked toward her.
He stood beside her, wrapped an arm around her waist, and positioned them in front of the mirror.
The pair in the mirror looked exceptionally well-matched.
Aaron Wyatt’s lips curved in a satisfied smile. "Mrs. Wyatt, you get more and more beautiful every day."
"Thank you, Mr. Wyatt. You’re very handsome as well."
"The ceremony is about to start. Are you ready?"
"I’m ready."
"Good. We can go now."
...
The boisterous celebration downstairs was a stark contrast to the quiet room where Leona Grant lay on the sofa with her eyes closed, a song playing softly...
"I’m slowly returning to my own life,
And starting to meet new people.
Loving you until the very end
Left me feeling nothing at all.
We bickered over messages,
Over who had truly loved.
All I have left is a face of no regrets.
What more do you want from me?
What more?
Please, don’t ever show up at my wedding.
I’ll finish this song you love,
Then get in the car.
Loving you was worth it.
I don’t want anything from you,
Nothing at all.
But you can’t forget the path I walked with you,
Because that was
The happiest time of my life..."
