Chapter 1135:
Annabel nodded and called Leonard.
“Grandpa, it’s me. Is it noon over there?” A smile lit her face.
Leonard sounded delighted to hear her. “Yes. I just got back from outside. I’ll be staying in Dubai for a few more days p>
Relieved that he was enjoying himself, Annabel’s shoulders eased.
“Grandpa, our engagement ceremony is next weekend. When are you coming back?” This was one of the most important days of her life, and she wanted Leonard there.
Rupert watched her smile and listened to Leonard’s cheerful tone, feeling satisfied.
“I’ll be back in Douburgh in a few days,” Leonard said warmly. “How could I miss my granddaughter’s engagement ceremony? I’ve prepared an engagement gift for you and Rupert. You two will like it p>
“Really?” Warmth filled Annabel’s chest.
Truthfully, having her grandfather there—with his blessing—was more than enough. As for the gift, Leonard had always treated her like a princess. If he could have plucked the stars from the sky for her, he would have.
“I’m sure it’s already late on your side,” Leonard said kindly. “You should go to bed p>
“Okay, Grandpa,” Annabel replied obediently.
After she hung up, she fell into thought.
As long as she could remember, Leonard was her only family. She had never seen her parents at all.
Leonard always said her parents had died in an accident.
But if they truly had, shouldn’t she remember them at least a little? Why couldn’t she recall anything at all?
Every now and then, fragments of memory would flash through her mind. Annabel tried to piece them together, but she never managed to make sense of them.

Who exactly was Isla?
What connection did Chayce have with Isla?
And why did Chayce always avoid the subject whenever Annabel mentioned Isla? It felt like there were many things he didn’t want to tell her.
Why?
Chayce had once told Annabel that Isla was her aunt.
So where was Isla now?
In Annabel’s eyes, Chayce had been deeply in love with Isla. If Isla was still alive, why didn’t he look for her—why stay in Perigoda, a secluded place covered in snow all year long?
There were too many questions Annabel couldn’t answer. She had done everything she could to investigate, yet she still couldn’t find anything.
“Annabel, what’s wrong?” Rupert asked, unable to hide his concern as her expression grew heavier after the call.
Annabel came back to herself and met his worried gaze.
“Nothing. It’s late. We should sleep.” A trace of exhaustion showed on her face.
