Chapter 2 Her Real Face

“Alistair , today I pull you out like a tooth that aches and throw you away. From now onwards, we walk our separate ways!”

Putting aside the divorce agreement, Annabelle rubbed her loured eyebrows and let her hair down.

Her long lustrous hair cascaded down her back, contrasted strongly with her fair, marble-like complexion. Her sultry figure was like a masterpiece, gorgeously beautiful!

And at that moment, her aura radiated warmth and colours of hope. Her gaze was doubtless and serene.

Finally, it’s time to leave this wretched place!

Annabelle made no delays and immediately dressed herself up. She tossed her dull clothes on the bed and changed into a canary yellow bow dress and put on her favourite Brigitte heels.

Instantly she looked like a top model. She picked and packed few of her favoured clothing, tidied her room and rolled on with her luggage.

Mrs Li was keeping the house when she heard Annabelle coming down. She was then awestruck by her dissimilar look.

This lady of completely different vibe, are they really the same person? Mrs Li couldn’t help but wonder.

Annabelle approached Mrs Li and greeted her cheerfully, “Aunty!”

“My…my lady!” Mrs Li exclaimed, still finding it difficult to accept all these abrupt changes.

With a joyous tone, Annabelle explained, “Me and Alistair are divorcing. I should go my own way now. I sincerely thank you for your care all these while!” Annabelle bowed her head respectfully to this conscientious and kind woman.

“Oh dear don’t, serving you is my responsibility. However my lady, are you seriously leaving this place?” Mrs Li asked.

Annabelle nodded earnestly. Her face looked absolutely stunning now with flawless make up.

“Of course!” She replied.

“If Mr. Mu saw you now, I daresay the divorce is not going to happen.” Mrs Li stared intensely at her and blabbed.

Listening to her words, Annabelle giggled like a schoolgirl and said, “Aunty, please keep this a secret!”

After all, her effort was to blind Alistair from the truth.

After a long pause, Mrs Li can only concur. “Alright, please be sure to take care of yourself, my lady…” She urged with sincere care.

“Roger that! You take care too!” Annabelle said gently and gave her a tight hug. In this cheerless place, Mrs Li has been her one and only console, assisting and caring for her like a mother. Annabelle wholeheartedly thank her for her grace and kindness.

“See you, aunty.”

“My lady, can I send you off?”

“It’s alright, my lift is here. Please have an early rest today.” Annabelle persuaded.

At last, Mrs Li insisted to accompany her at the doorway.

Annabelle threw a disliking glimpse at her dull wear and hurled it into the dustbin before she got into the cab.

Aha! Am I lucky or unlucky, that it is so undemanding for me to say goodbye and leave all these behind!

As the cab disappeared in sight, Mrs Li let out a heavy sigh, “if Mr. Mu find out about this, he is definitely going to regret.”

Sometime later, Annabelle arrived the airport. She looked out the glass door at the enchanting night view and bid them farewell.

Goodbye A city!

Goodbye misery life!
