“Sure, you can decide where we will go tonight and I’ll listen to you.” Richard gave her the freedom to
allocate their time for the night.
He started the car and drove to the highway that led to the beach nearby and Angela sat in the front
passenger seat as she asked curiously, “Do your mom and Uncle Walter have kids of their own?”
Richard shook his head. “They didn’t have any kids of their own, but I heard that they adopted a good
friend’s daughter. The couple works abroad most of the time, so their daughter was raised by my mom
when she was young.”
Angela realized that he did not seem to know much about his mom’s life and she could not help but
look at him sympathetically.
“In the future, when we have kids, I’m sure that your mom will be delighted.”

“Then, let’s hurry up and sign the marriage papers. After that, we can start planning on conceiving a
child. Do you prefer a boy or a girl?”
“I would be happy with either,” he answered without hesitation.
At that moment, Angela’s lips curved into a smile and she became very enthusiastic. “I was wondering
whether it would be possible to have a pair of fraternal twins; a boy and a girl. That would be great!”
“Well, there is a possibility of that.” There was a confident smile that flashed across his handsome face.
Meanwhile, she smiled shyly upon comprehending his words. “You sound so smug.”
“I am confident in my abilities,” he continued his brazen attitude.
Angela could not help smiling as she glanced out of the window. However, her smile gradually froze
and a worried look flashed across her eyes instead. Nonetheless, the smile on her face remained once
she turned her face back to face him.
“We should have a boy first before having a girl. Then, you can teach him how to take care of his
younger sister. How does that sound?”
“Yup, that sounds good.” Richard felt that her suggestion was great.
Angela’s eyes went to a five-star hotel quite far ahead under the starry night skies by the edge of the
sea and she pointed. “I heard that this is a great place to enjoy coffee on the rooftop. Let’s go there!”
“Sure.”
“Do you have your ID card with you?” she suddenly asked quite conveniently.
Meanwhile, he turned to look at her with a slightly dark look in his eyes as he seemed stunned. “Yes, I
have it with me.”
Angela generously mentioned, “I heard that this is a great place to catch the sunrise. I would like to

At that moment, Richard’s heart raced as he replied hoarsely, “Won’t your parents worry about you?”
She muttered under her breath, “What’s there to worry about? I’m not a child. I’m about to turn twenty-
five this year.” After she said that, she blushed uncontrollably as she interrogated him domineeringly. “I
just wanted to know whether you’d be willing to watch the sunrise with me.”
“Of course,” he replied in a solemn voice.
Angela took out her phone and secretly typed a text message to Daphne. “Mom, I won’t be back
tonight. Don’t wait for me.”
Following that, she switched her phone to silent mode before Daphne replied to the message
immediately, “Okay, got it. Make sure to get some rest.”
Daphne had been through this before, so she knew what was going on.
Angela’s face flushed red upon seeing the text message. What does Mom mean by that last sentence?
What rest? Does she think that I will be up the entire night?
