Remarriage Failed Again Today

Chapter 405: Chapter 405: Strangers at First, Unacknowledged in the End (2)

For Vivian Yates’s eighteenth birthday, both he and Annabelle Linton went to celebrate with her as friends.

She chose to spend it at an amusement park.

He wasn’t fond of such places, and to make matters worse, Annabelle Linton was there too.

For some reason, back then he could accept Vivian Yates as a friend, but he could never bring himself to like Annabelle Linton, his fiancée.

’Thinking back, it must be karma.’ He had become the one she couldn’t stand.

Vivian Yates was a great talker. Compared to the quiet, easygoing Annabelle Linton, who always wore an understanding smile, Vivian was far more chatty and charming.

Generally speaking, a lively girl is often more likable than a quiet one.

Vivian Yates had sprained her ankle a few days prior, so she held onto his arm the whole time, laughing and chatting happily.

When he glanced back, Annabelle Linton was trailing slowly behind them. With her head down, holding a cup of milk tea, her gentle face clearly showed she was unhappy.

He suddenly felt a pang of pity.

Just then, as if she had been pondering it for a long time, Vivian Yates suddenly walked over, took her hand, and said guiltily, "Annabelle, please cheer up, okay? I’ve really wanted to come here for so long. I was going to wait until my ankle healed, but you only turn eighteen once..."

It seemed like a guilty apology, but it was actually a veiled accusation meant to slander Annabelle Linton.

On the surface, her words seemed harmless, but she was actually implying that Annabelle Linton was unhappy because Vivian was clinging to his arm due to her sprained ankle. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

At the time, he didn’t think much of it and just felt that Annabelle Linton was being unreasonable, getting petty over something on someone’s once-in-a-lifetime birthday.

The truth is, once you’re biased against someone, you’ll subconsciously pin the blame on them for anything, even for things that have nothing to do with them.

That was exactly what he used to be like.

Hearing this, that little bit of pity he felt for Annabelle Linton vanished completely. He turned to her with a cold expression and said, "If you don’t like it, you shouldn’t have come. Did anyone beg you to be here?"

Annabelle Linton was naturally baffled and didn’t understand what was happening. Looking at his expression, she asked timidly, "What’s wrong...?"

Back then, seeing her like that, he thought she was being fake and hypocritical. He cursed at her again before turning and walking away.

Annabelle Linton’s eyes reddened with hurt. In the end, Vivian Yates was the one to comfort her, and at that moment, he actually thought Vivian was kind and Annabelle was just being melodramatic.

If she were kind, she wouldn’t have tried to slander Annabelle Linton.

If she were kind, she would have let Annabelle Linton leave to diffuse the awkwardness, not forced her to stay and celebrate her birthday.

’Annabelle Linton must have felt so wronged back then, right?’

As they were walking around, Vivian Yates suddenly wanted to ride the Ferris wheel. But she thought it would be no fun to go alone, so she asked Annabelle Linton to join her.

Annabelle Linton hesitated. She had a fear of heights and didn’t dare to ride it.

So, without a second thought, he went with Vivian Yates instead. After all, it was her birthday; he couldn’t let her have any regrets.

He and Vivian Yates went on the ride, while Annabelle Linton sat on a park bench, watching them. A faint layer of sorrow clouded her eyes.

That kind of three-person scenario, where two people are laughing and talking while one is left far behind, completely ignored... it’s a truly terrible situation.

Everyone thought he and Vivian Yates were a couple, never imagining that the person they saw as a third wheel was actually his fiancée.

He was the one who had never considered her feelings, always causing her to feel wronged.

But unexpectedly, while they were on the ride, a malfunction—the kind that only happens once every few years at the amusement park—occurred, trapping him and Vivian Yates.
