The Divorced Heiress’s Revenge

Chapter 2085

Declan lowered his gaze, slowly clenching his fists, trying to hold on to the gradually disappearing

warmth. "Find someone who would love you with their life and put you first. It's not worth it to fall in love with someone like me."

Annabeth ran while crying in the castle's hallways until she finally ran out of strength. She panted as she slumped against the wall and sat on the ground, looking like an abandoned child.

She did not know how long she had been crying when a figure stood before her and slowly squatted down, meeting her at eye level.

"Oh, it's you crying. Here I thought the castle was haunted." Bella tilted her head and looked at the girl, her bright eyes flickering with a gentle light.

Annabeth raised her eyes, swollen to the point they almost could not open, and sobbed. "Even if I'm a ghost... I'm the most beautiful ghost!"

"Yes, yes, you're the most beautiful princess in the world." Bella coaxed softly, but not without teasing her a little to lighten the sorrowful atmosphere. "Crying here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping? Aren't you afraid that you'll really summon a ghost? I heard that ancient castles like this have a lot of supernatural beings."

"Ah!"

Annabeth was timid and threw herself into Bella's arm in a panic, her frail body soft and warm, making it hard to let go.

Declan usually kept a low profile. She did not expect him to take down the high and mighty princess in just two trips to Sentania.

What a catch!

However, Bella also knew why Annabeth was squatting here pitifully late at night, wiping her tears.

She was born a princess, standing on the top of the pyramid with everything she wanted right by her grasp.

This was likely the only time she could not get what she wanted in her life and suffered, all because of Bella's brother.

At this thought, Bella could not help hugging the crying girl tighter, suddenly thinking of herself in the past.

Her father was the wealthiest man in Hatchbay, the uncrowned king who boosted Hatchbay's GDP and created many job opportunities for the people. When she went out with her father as a child, people would call her a princess.

She was the princess of the whole Thompson family and grew up with infinite love and care. However, the most violent storms in her life were caused by the person she loved most.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Luckily, after weathering the storm, she finally obtained the happiness she sought.

But the girl before her seemed to be walking her old path.

As his family, Bella naturally hoped Declan could find his own happiness, and she could see that Annabeth really liked him.

But...

Their mother's mysterious history and their father's intense opposition forced Declan to face the cruelest choice.

"Be good and don't cry. I'll send you back to your room." Bella sighed deeply, feeling upset.

"I... I don't dare to go back now..."

Annabeth rubbed her wet eyes and complained softly, "It's your fault telling me there are ghosts. I'm scared."

Bella patted her trembling back lightly. "Well, Your Highness, if you don't mind, why don't you sleep with me tonight?"

"Okay... I'll allow it." Annabeth sniffed, her nose red from crying.

Since Annabeth was young, she had always slept alone due to palace rules. In fact, she felt a little nervous to share a bed with someone else.

But the woman in front of her gave her a sense of security, like family. This feeling was rare and precious in the strict royal family.

Bella chuckled and slowly walked forward, her arms wrapped around Annabeth's shoulder.

At this moment, the phone in her coat pocket vibrated. She pulled it out and sneaked a glance. It was from Declan.

[Bella, please take care of Annabeth tonight.]

Bella looked back in surprise and faintly saw a lean, lonely figure standing at the end of the dimly lit corridor.

It was Declan.

He seemed to have stood there for a long time.

Bella turned around, and while Annabeth was not looking, she raised her hand and made an "OK" gesture in the air.
