Unexpected Blessing After Divorce

Chapter 46 Give Me A Cigarette

The car had been parked outside Grand Island Mansion for a while.

Annabelle had a dream. In the dream, there was an ocean where the waters were blood red. The tides of the ocean violently surged into torrents but never receded. She ran desperately to escape but was eventually engulfed in the bloody ocean.

The thick, sticky blood made her unable to open her eyes, and she was nauseous from the sickening smell of blood. When Annabelle was about to suffocate, she suddenly woke up.

She breathed heavily while looking out of the window in a daze. Her heart was beating so fast, as if it was about to jump out of her chest.

Hearing the strange noises from the person beside him, Christopher slowly shifted his gaze away from the window toward Annabelle and caught the latter in a terrified state. He asked in a low voice, “Having a nightmare?”

Annabelle gave no response, still looking out of the window in a trance. After a while, she slowly focused her eyes on the surroundings outside the car and said, “Give me a cigarette.”

Christopher was about to put the cigarette into his mouth. Hearing that, he stopped and looked at Annabelle again. Seeing that her lips were tightly pursed and her hands were slightly trembling, he opened the cigarette box and took a cigarette, then handed it to her without saying anything.

Annabelle accepted the cigarette with trembling fingertips. She then took the lighter from Christopher’s hand. Unexpectedly, the lighter failed to light up even after a few flicks.

She became impatient and scolded, “What a shitty lighter!”

Christopher did not respond. He took back the lighter from her hand, and with a flick, a fire was lit up. He handed the fire to Annabelle. Annabelle lit the cigarette and smoked silently for a while. The troubled look on her face gradually softened.

As she watched the smoke rings, Annabelle asked, “How long has it been? Why didn’t you wake me up?” Christopher rested his hand on the car window and flicked the cigarette ash with his fingers. “I did. You slept like a dead pig. There was no way to wake you up!”
