Chapter 19 Farewell to the past
Chapter 19 Farewell to the past
Black looked impatient and kept calling that unknown number. But he couldn’t get through. He was also afraid someone showed up after he left. So he kept waiting. An hour later, the waiter gave a note to Black according to Anna's arrangement. But it wan’t her new address of course.
It was a sentence instead.
"You have three days to, ask Alice to drop out of the competition for ‘the best actress’ award. In exchange, I will give you Anna's new address."
Black swore and looked around. He found nothing and stood up to leave.
Although Anna didn’t see his face, she knew he must be mad.
But Anna couldn’t care less. Black was not worth her love and care at all.
"Let’s go home. I want to do something else," said Jack.
"What is it?" Anna looked at him in surprise.
Jack didn’t answer but fixed his eyes on her with passion. She stared at him and wanted to see him through.
"The way you are looking at me. Do you want to invite me to ..."
"Actually, there's one more place where I'd like to go." Anna calmed down and put her arms around his.
"After that, can we go home and finish what we left last time?"
Jack was trying to tempt her and his words made Anna a little nervous. So she didn’t reply.
Instead of going home, they went to the seaside church where Anna wanted to go.
Anna didn’t want to hide anything from Jack. He promised to give her time to say goodbye to the past and she understood his intention very well. If she didn’t completely move on, she couldn’t start over and be the wife Jack deserved.
The car stopped at the church and Anna walked in with Jack.
"I want to get back the photos I have deposited here," Anna said to the priest. NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
He stood by her side and didn’t say anything. When she got the thick album, he asked, "Just to get this?"
"Well, it's the last object that involved Black and me." Anna recalled when Black and she were together in the past. At that time, she had naively thought he really loved her, but later she found that everything was just lies. She was determined to let Black pay for what he had done.
Jack saw she threw this album into the fire. The flames consumed it quickly and took away the last feeling she had for Black.
"From now on, I will live only for myself and to be worthy of you," Anna looked at him with a smile. She finally said goodbye to her past!
"So you'll be relieved?" He kissed her on the forehead gently.
Anna was holding his hand and could feel the warmth of his palm. She told herself that she wouldn’t allow them to use or hurt her again. She wanted them to pay for what they had done!
Jack was waiting quietly for her and asked after a while, "Now, is Mrs. Jack willing to go home with me?"
Anna nodded timidly. She put her arms around his neck with a smile and was carried on the car by him.
"Of course I will."
...
Black looked for Anna everywhere, but her mobile phone had turned off. Thus he couldn’t contact her and he even hired a private detective for Anna's new address.
What happened recently made him feel very weird since Anna would not do this to him before.
But in no case could he give up on Anna or the power of her family.
"Black, why haven't you come to see me?" Alice broke into his office with her assistant.
Seeing Alice, Black immediately put a smile on his face. He motioned others to leave them alone. Then he walked forward and put his arm around her waist, "I hope you can have a good rest in the hospital, and I do not want to disturb you.”
"Really? Why are you looking for Anna everywhere!" Alice pouted and pulled his shirt coquettishly, "I suffered so much for you. Do you just care for her? I don't care who will marry you and be your wife, but please always remember to love our baby, or I’d rather have an abortion."
"Don't talk nonsense!” As soon as she mentioned the baby, Black got nervous, "I’m looking for Anna everywhere for the good of you and our baby. I need her to come out and help us solve the problem. Don’t worry. I will let you win ‘the best actress’ award before you give birth!"
"My darling... I hope you can always remember your promise." Alice immediately kissed him passionately.
