As she exited the car, she followed the route that she recalled from memory. After crossing the road and heading up the small slope, there used to be a muddy passage in the past, but it has now been developed into two large highways.

It happened to be a weekend when Anna arrived at the village. Hence, there was quite a crowd in the village and she bumped into many familiar faces.

“Frankie Johnson! Sammy Johnson! Leslie Johnson!”

She yelled their names—all three of them were her childhood friends and although they were much older now, she immediately recognized them.

A few middle-aged figures, who were in their late forties to early fifties, turned when they heard her voice. They stared at her in confusion while giving her a once-over.

They did not recognize her, but they remembered Cooper and his family.

The villagers were utterly disappointed with the fact that he was about to remarry. Despite Anna’s death many years ago, he was still emotionally invested in the village—he established a factory and repaired its subway, which showed how devoted he was. Upon learning about his wedding, the village sent two representatives to deliver an expensive gift to him.

The villagers would be attending the wedding since Sophia was getting married to Michael. They were growing suspicious since they had witnessed Cooper entering the village with a strange woman who seemed to recognize the villagers.

“You are—” They were giving Anna a once-over. Although she was modestly dressed, she had an extraordinary elegance and temperament. Hence, it was obvious that the village was not her hometown.

Anna exclaimed in delight, “I am Anna—Annabel Johnson!”

“Anna!?” The crowd carefully regarded her again while they gazed at her in disbelief.

After she announced her identity, everybody seemed to look at her with a set of fresh eyes. The villagers seemed to gradually connect the woman in front of them with the pretty and mischievous young lady they remembered in their memories.
