Chapter 4 Unbothered
“Oh right. Annabelle, you returning… Aren’t you afraid to bump into Alistair ?!” Dorie suddenly blurted
out during dinner.
This abrupt question dimmed the atmosphere. And Annabelle was caught off guard, but she continued
to savour her food without care.
“So what if that happens? We are divorced!” Annabelle said slowly.
They now should cross paths as strangers.
“Umm… What you say isn’t wrong, but are you truly not worried?!”
Annabelle contemplated, and then spoke consequentially to Dorie, “I would be lying if I say it didn’t
cross my mind. However, it’s been 3 years! I believe he has no recollection whatsoever.”
Moreover, it was merely a sham marriage. Without sentiment nor interactivity. It was impossible for him
to remember.
In addition, with Alistair ’s “exceptional” personality, he would only bother himself with attractive
ladies… Casting her mind back to how she used to look, she undoubtedly believed that she had him
completely horrified, like how the clown did to the kids in the movie IT.
“Well,” Dorie twisted and twiddled the legs and claw from the spicy crab, greedily sucking on them, “3
years ago, you… no problem! However now…” Dorie squinted her eyes cheekily.
“If he had known your true appearance, I dare say he wouldn’t allow the divorce!”
“HA! What done is done!”
That’s right, the ship has sailed!
“Speaking of which,” Dorie asked curiously, while continuing to feast greedily on the mouth-watering Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
gourmet, “Annabelle, your actions were bizarre. You were willing to go through such length to change
your appearance for an entire year! What more, Alistair was one of the most eminent, the top dog in Y
City! I can only imagine how many women dreamt of being with him. Yet you crazily went through every
hassle to get rid of him!”
“Ha! Because I was a clever girl! I’ll take crazy over stupid any day.” Annabelle responded proudly like
a peacock.
To begin with, the two of them entered a sham marriage for the sake of commercial interests. And what
more, Alistair was such an indecent and salacious man. Whenever he desired a woman, he will go
through any means necessary to acquire her. Therefore, Annabelle was determined to not be a victim
of his lust.
Dorie nodded in complete agreement. Alistair ’s scandalous habit was undisputed, even a common
knowledge.
All of a sudden, Dorie stiffened up, she even stopped slurping off the spicy sauce on her fingers. With a
serious look she asked, “Hey Annabelle… If Alistair found out that you deliberately deceived him 3
years ago… What’s gonna happen?”
Annabelle was stupefied. She burdensomely muttered, “I guess… I’m gonna die a dog’s death.”
Dorie flared her nose and gave her a forced laughter.
“By the way, you did not return to the Xia Group, is it because of him too?”
“No,” Annabelle shook her head, “There are many complications. The timing isn’t right yet.”
Dorie just nodded dutifully and stopped prying.
The two had a good heart to heart chat, trying to catch up with each other for all the past years.
After the dinner, they went home respectively.
Annabelle took a shower and gave her tutor in London a call. After talking, she put her phone to charge
and went to sleep.
