Roxanne Jennings looked at Annabelle, asking in disbelief, "Annabelle, is that really what you think?"
Annabelle gave a faint, sincere smile. "Mom, twenty years of feelings don't just vanish. As long as Leona treats me well from now on, I will continue to live a good life with him."
Roxanne was moved by her words, and her heart ached for Annabelle.
She had heard parts of Annabelle's story from Ashley and knew that Annabelle truly hadn't had an easy life.
She didn't have a mother, and her stepfather and stepmother treated her poorly. On top of that, she had to care for her younger brother, always keeping her head down at home.
After marrying into the Grant Family, she had to constantly read Leona's moods, living in constant fear.
Annabelle's life was suffocating. She'd never had a single day of peace and security.
'No wonder she was so insistent on leaving, so determined to get a divorce.'
