When Fate Intervenes (Giselle and Anthony) novel Chapter 11

After leaving Jadeston, where she lived for years, Giselle went to the train station and bought a ticket to a random place she pointed at. Then, she started on her first trip after her divorce.

Within a day, Giselle traveled from the northern part of the country to the south where the weather was considerably warmer and more humid.

She took her bags with her and got off the train in a strange new town called Longville.

It was quite different here than it was in Jadeston, which was like the city center hub of the country. Life here in this tiny town wasn't as fast-paced.

Giselle found a hotel and checked her bags into her room. Then, she started to wander aimlessly around town for food and sightseeing.

She ordered some spaghetti from a curbside restaurant and sat down at a table closest to the street. She felt herself relax completely as she sipped on some iced tea.

Her phone suddenly lit up with a notification. She only had a handful of contacts in her newly registered phone number, so she saw both of Ian's messages at once.

"I say, Ms. Lockhart, why didn't you properly tell me who you were when you said you wanted a divorce? I'm kind of caught in the middle now… Anthony's mad at me because I refused to give him your new number. But anyway, here's a letter he wrote to you. Maybe have a look at it when you're free?"

Giselled had expected Anthony to get mad. But, she didn't think he would write her a letter. She was mildly surprised at this.

She tapped on the document file and downloaded it. The document was filled to the brim with words. But, the first thing she looked at was the total number of words at the bottom of the screen.

Eight thousand words?

It was just a divorce, so why did Anthony write an eight-thousand-word letter to her? Was it even necessary? Surely this wasn't a letter to sue her for anything, right?

Still, Giselle was in a good mood because she'd just successfully managed to leave him, and she didn't want anything to ruin it. She wasn't about to read something that would affect her now.

So, with this thought in mind, Giselle closed the document and set her phone to silent mode before digging into her spaghetti bolognese.

After she was done with her food, she then wandered into the local supermarket and bought all sorts of snacks while browsing around. She then ate her heart out as she exchanged all of the complex emotions she'd accumulated in her for a huge appetite.

She got back to her hotel room later that night and sent Ian two messages. The first one was to thank him, and the second one was a document file.
