Chapter 897 -897: Not Going Back to Landon Anymore

As a result, she didn’t learn anything at all.

Her academic performance was mediocre, neither bad nor good.

Just another face in the crowd, not attracting any second glances.

Nothing more ordinary, nothing more average.

“Ann, can you dance?” Jasmine Yale asked with a twinkle in her eyes.

“A little, but it’s been a long time since I last danced.”

“Then dance for me, I’ve never seen you dance,” Jasmine Yale was quite interested.

If possible, when she went abroad to study, she wouldn’t let herself be so willful anymore. At the very least, she’d pursue something she was interested in, like dancing or yoga.

“Which guy do you think looks good? I’ll go invite him to dance later,” Ann Nolan winked.

Jasmine truly started searching the crowd with her eyes.

The bar was on the upscale side, so there were quite a few high-quality men there.

But after looking around, Jasmine really couldn’t find one that she liked, shaking her head, “Not one that catches my eye.”

“Then let’s drink first. I always feel like we’ll meet a suitable dance partner,” Ann Nolan raised her wine glass, “Cheers.”

Jasmine Yale poured some red wine into her glass and raised her hand.

“Clink”—

They both laughed.

A whole afternoon of chatting wasn’t enough, and they started talking again while sitting in the bar.

Ann Nolan told Jasmine Yale about her childhood, and Jasmine Yale learned that Ann’s parents had died in a car accident when she was five or six, and she was raised by her grandfather.

She never experienced parental love, but thankfully her grandfather adored her and never mistreated her.

Her grandfather was very capable, a former high-ranking military officer, and after retiring at an old age, he lived abroad.

Her father was also a well-known businessman in the commercial world, leaving behind a considerable fortune, but unfortunately, he died young.

After hearing this, Jasmine Yale couldn’t help but sigh; Ann’s childhood was not much different from her own.

Ann also mentioned that her grandfather and Zaiden Santos’s grandfather were once the best of war comrades. So after marrying into the Santos family, Grandfather Santos treated her like his own beloved granddaughter.

Unfortunately, her marriage was not as expected.

Grandfather Santos was too good to her, so much so that she would never go to him with her grievances.

As Grandfather Santos was of advanced age, she didn’t want to upset him with her troubles.

She would deal with what she could on her own, like getting a divorce.

Zaiden Santos was not the right man for her, nor was she the right partner for him.

But Zaiden Santos knew this about her and didn’t show her any mercy when it came to mistreating her.

He took advantage of her not daring to complain to Grandfather Santos, took advantage of her being married far away in Landon, took advantage of her having no family aside from Grandfather…

As she spoke, Ann Nolan’s voice began to choke.

She picked up her glass and took a big gulp of alcohol.

Jasmine Yale felt terrible listening to her and drank with her.

Without family, one lacks a crucial support.

When bullied, one dares to be angry but doesn’t dare to speak out, swallowing all the bitterness inside.

In this respect, Ann Nolan and Jasmine Yale were very similar.

Both yearned for happiness, yet both were unable to attain it.

“Jasmine, it’s nothing, I’m being oversensitive. I’m not young anymore, I can handle these things, you don’t need to worry about me,” Ann Nolan apologized.

“Don’t let yourself be wronged,” Jasmine Yale frowned.

Deep in her eyes lay concern and helplessness.

“I won’t, I’ll take care of myself. Once I’m divorced, I’ll go abroad too, and I won’t come back to Landon,” Ann Nolan said lightly, her tone tinged with gentle sadness.

Never to return to this city again.

A city, if it had no one to hold onto, then there was no reason to stay.
