Remarriage Failed Again Today

Chapter 576: Chapter 576: Let’s Go Together

With another heavy sigh, he lowered his head. "Just go," he said. "I’ll just have to work three extra days of overtime."

’We’re just talking about a short trip, but you’d think we were being torn apart by life and death...’

Annabelle’s heart suddenly ached.

’This had to be the most unforgettable send-off of her entire life...’

Seeing how pitiful and stressed he was, Annabelle suddenly felt like she was being a little unreasonable...

’Hmm... now that I think about it, it doesn’t really matter if I go or not...’

"I’m not going anymore," Annabelle said, turning to face him with a smile. "Don’t worry about me. You should get to work."

The more she acted this way, the more certain Leona Grant was that she was upset.

He grabbed her hand, his brow furrowed. "Are you mad at me?"

"No, don’t worry about them," Annabelle said with a smile. "I’ve thought it over. If you’re not happy, I won’t go. No one is more important to me than you are."

Leona Grant was a little surprised. "Really?"

"Really. I’ll stay with you," Annabelle said, giving him a kiss.

A bittersweet feeling suddenly bloomed in Leona Grant’s chest.

’She must have seen how I looked and couldn’t bear to leave me, that’s why she said that.’

’Judging by her earlier reaction, this meeting was clearly very important to her. But she gave it up... for me.’

’I’m really something else... I can’t compare to Annabelle at all. I was just being completely unreasonable and throwing a tantrum.’

He lowered his gaze, cupping her face in his hands. He pressed his lips together, then said in a deep voice, "You should still go. Even though I love you and can’t bear for you to leave, what I want more is for you to be happy and not have any regrets..."

He paused, then continued, "Just... come back as soon as the event is over... all right?"

He looked at her with anticipation. Those last two words were filled with a cautious, pleading tone.

For a moment, Annabelle just wanted to pull him into a hug.

She lowered her gaze in thought for a moment, then smiled. "Why don’t we go together, then? That way we can be together, and I can still keep my promise. It’s just... your work at the company..."

"It’s a get-together for you guys, wouldn’t it be inappropriate for me to go?" Leona Grant asked.

The moment Annabelle saw his expression, she knew he had the time.

She pulled his shirt and suit from the closet and handed them to him. "It’s fine, it’s fine. Let’s get going."

Leona Grant hesitated for a second before taking the clothes.

’I... do have things to take care of...’

’But I don’t want to be apart from her.’

’Oh, whatever. I’ll spend the afternoon with her and take a flight back tonight.’

Leona Grant took the clothes into the bathroom. When he saw his face covered in lipstick marks in the large mirror, he couldn’t help but laugh.

’This little troublemaker...’

’Actually, looking back on it, the whole thing is pretty funny.’

’We could have just decided to go together from the start... All this drama, and I even made her cry.’

’It’s a good thing Annabelle is so magnanimous. Any other woman would have probably broken down in tears long ago.’

Thinking of this, Leona Grant couldn’t help but feel a little smug.

’See? I’ve got great taste. I even managed to find such a wonderful wife.’

’Beautiful, capable, and so understanding...’

But this whole incident also taught him a valuable lesson—

’Whether you’re a man or a woman, you can’t just make a scene...’

’Damn it... I almost drove my wife away with all my drama.’

...

It was already one o’clock by the time the two of them arrived in Serenvale.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony had started promptly at noon.

By the time their car reached the venue, the place was already a hive of activity.

In short... they were late.

As Annabelle entered the venue, she saw Quentin Holland striding toward her from a distance, a dark expression on his face.

’It feels like a lifetime since I last saw him, but he hasn’t changed a bit...’
