Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 110 Go Abroad

The atmosphere in the private room turned tense.

Annabelle had always felt conflicted.

On the one hand, she was able to escape from her painful past and live a new life because of the Solace family. She

was also able to study abroad and become the person she wanted to be.

On the other hand, the better she lived, the more miserable she felt.

That was because everything she had now was in exchange for her father’s life.

Every time she thought about this, she felt tormented.

She knew the Solace family treated her well and fully paid their debts to her. She knew she should be grateful, but

she could not do it.

Likewise, she felt contradictory toward the Solace family.

Whenever she visited the Solace family, seeing the loving parents, the kind grandchildren, and the harmonious

siblings, Annabelle felt upset and unjust. She wondered why it was not someone from the Solace family who died.

She thought, “Why wasn’t it Christopher but my dad?”

On the other hand, she regarded the Solace family as her family.

She thought the Solace family would feel the same toward her even if she did not marry Christopher and become

the Solace family’s daughter-in-law. She pondered, “Were those feelings fake all these years?”

“That’s not what he means, Annabelle.” Layla looked at Annabelle’s pale face and explained, “I do this not only for

Christopher and the Solace family but also for you. It has almost been 20 years since the incident. You and

Christopher should move on. If you continue this, you and Christopher will only diverge more in the future. You are

only 26 years old and have a long future. No matter if it’s me, Ken, or any other member of the Solace family,

everyone wishes you to live a good life.”

Although they were not related by blood, Layla truly thought of Annabelle as her own sister.

Annabelle was not even ten years old when she came to the Solace family. For ten years, Layla saw her grow from

a weak and timid little girl to a beautiful and mature woman. It would be impossible for Layla to have no affection

for her.

At this point, Kendrick was not wrong.

Tears rolled out of Annabelle’s eyes, and she quickly raised her hand and wiped them away in a panic. She inhaled

slightly, and her full lips curved into a smile. “My apologies. I lost my composure.”

Layla handed her a tissue. “No matter if you’re married to Christopher or not, you are still our sister, Annabelle.”

Annabelle did not respond as she lightly dried her tears with the tissue. After she regained her composure, she

looked at Kendrick and asked, “What do you want me to do, Ken?”

Kendrick asked, “Do you want to go abroad?”

Hearing this, Annabelle immediately understood.

Kendrick wanted to send her abroad to stay away from Christopher and never disturb his life again.

She smiled. “Okay.”

Kendrick looked at her, paused a little, and then said, “I will make arrangements for you, whether it’s life or work.

Of course, you can contact Layla or me if you have any trouble. We won’t abandon you.”

Annabelle grinned and gazed at the two. “Thank you, Ken, Layla.”

After Annabelle got in a car and left, Layla looked at Kendrick and asked, “Aren’t our actions to her too cruel?”

Although Annabelle had been abroad for three years, Christopher had accompanied her then. Now, they wanted to

send her abroad alone to live in a foreign country without family or friends.

Kendrick asked, “Do you know what your biggest problem is, Layla?”

Layla froze and glanced at him quietly.

You are soft-hearted.”

That was why Kendrick wanted to train Christopher. In fact, Layla had always been capable at work, but she was too

kind and could not make cruel decisions.

This was a fatal thing for a manager.

Kendrick continued, “There will always be a price to pay. Otherwise, you can’t gain anything. Since Christopher

chose Yuliana, he must cut ties with Annabelle. Likewise, if he had chosen Annabelle, Yuliana would have to be let

go.”

He looked at Layla and said, “You didn’t need to explain so much to Annabelle just now.”

For Annabelle, the explanation just now made them seem like hypocrites.

From the beginning, Kendrick aimed to protect Christopher and simultaneously give Annabelle the best

arrangement.

Layla frowned. “Regardless, she is our sister, too.”

“How can I be heartless to her? Layla thought.

Kendrick comforted, “Transportation is very convenient now. If you miss her, you can often fly abroad to see

her’

Layla knew what Kendrick meant and nodded.

At the same time, Layla’s driver had driven the car over, and she said to Kendrick, “I’ll go back first.”

Kendrick nodded, watched Layla get in the car, and then followed his assistant to another car.

Soon, both cars left the entrance of the restaurant.

After Annabelle left, she did not immediately return to Grand Island Mansion but requested the driver to take her to

Highfield Manor.

It was dark in Highfield Manor. It seemed that the owner had not returned.

She sat on the steps at the door and leaned her head against the wall, feeling drowsy

She had woken up at 6 a m. that day to catch the plane. After a two-hour flight, the airplane landed at the airport,

and she waited another hour to board the plane. The flight took about two hours before it reached Juxshire. She

had just finished showering when she received Layla’s call.

On that day, she had not stopped to rest, both physically and mentally.

Now that everything was settled, she relaxed and felt a wave of fatigue.

At last, she fell asleep as she sat there.

After falling asleep, she had a dream.

In the dream, it was a cold winter. There was snow and rain at night. A little boy dragged a girl as they sprinted on a

never-ending pathway. Only the whistling cold wind and their rapid, fearful breathing could be heard.

It was as if they were the only ones in the world.

“Who are you, miss?”

A woman’s gentle voice suddenly sounded. Annabelle woke up from her dream. She lifted her eyes and saw a pair

of men’s leather shoes and a pair of women’s high heels appearing in her sight.

She looked up and saw Harry and a delicate, dignified woman standing in front of her.

Annabelle stared at the woman. She was very young, and her eyes were clear and innocent. She was

probably in her early 20s. Judging from her dress and temperament, she was obviously another lady from a

prominent family.

“Yes. She is a good match for Harry,” Annabelle thought.

Thinking of this, she looked at Harry, who was also looking at her. His eyes were as cold as ever, and she could not

read his emotions.

Yet, a few years ago, she could’ve seen through those eyes with ease.

It was tiring looking up and it did not suit Annabelle’s style. She wanted to stand up, but her legs were numb from

sitting for too long. She tried to stand up but fell miserably.

Her tailbone hurt.

She frowned and took some time to calm down before standing up gracefully. She looked at Harry and the

woman before her and smiled. “I’m sorry, I’ve gone the wrong way.”
