Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 449

Wiona stared at Annette, surprise flickering in her eyes.

So this was how Annette had hurt Conrad. Wiona glanced at Alice, who sat across from her, quietly eating her meal like the perfect little girl. That dull ache in her chest grew stronger.

She let out a small, disappointed chuckle. “What’s the point of telling me all this?”

“If the police manages to find something, it’s not my place to get involved.”

“And as for who was really behind what happened with Amaya… We all know the truth.”

“If I really was the one who got hurt, you’d still defend her. You’d just say, ‘Well, it’s already happened, what can we do?’”

“The pain doesn’t go away just because someone else suffered, too. What’s done leaves a mark forever.”

She pushed back her chair and wiped her mouth. “Please, take your time. I’m done here.”

Wiona stood up and left the table.

The moment Alice noticed, she scrambled to her feet and hurried after her. “Wait, Wiona…”

“Can we build a snowman today? I want to make one that looks like my brother…”

Wiona smiled, her voice soft. “Sure, let’s do it.”

Their voices faded down the hallway, leaving Annette behind. She pressed her fingers against her forehead, frustration bubbling up inside her.

Why did nothing ever work out the way she wanted?

She just didn’t want things to get so tense with her own family. Did they really have to keep digging, keep pushing for answers? Even the way Wiona said to her made it clear. They’d probably never be close.

Maybe she just didn’t belong in this family at all.
