Angela let out a sigh in secret. What sort of cruel fate is it that bound Richard and me together?!
They arrived at the restaurant. When Joshua saw that his eldest granddaughter had returned safely, his
face broke into a cheerful smile. “You’re back at last, Angela.”
“I’m back, Grandpa.” Angela said while walking up to him.
“Glad that you’re back. At last, we can put our mind at rest.”
Angela then greeted her uncle and aunt. “Hi, Uncle Matthew and Aunt Jennifer.”
“Hey, Angela! You’re really getting more and more beautiful. You weren’t there during the engagement
dinner last time. Come to think of it, it’s been two years since we last met.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAngela felt embarrassed upon seeing them. Just then, Gilbert asked, “Dad, are the Lloyds coming as
well?”
Angela turned to look at Joshua with a panic-stricken expression. What? Are the Lloyds coming as
well?
Joshua shook his head. “Phillip said his grandson had yet to come back. We’ll meet again next time.”
When Angela heard him say so, her heart was back in its place. She really didn’t want to run into
Richard on such an occasion. She didn’t know at all how to face him.
In a luxurious private room, everyone was talking about what had happened to Angela this time.
Daphne also had a car accident because of this incident. If she hadn’t been lucky enough to have
narrowly escaped death, the consequences would’ve been unthinkable.
As Angela looked at Daphne, she realized that nothing made her happier than being able to reunite
with her family. Even though she had to end a brief relationship, the warmth of her family filled the void
in her heart.
“Jennifer, has the date of Annie’s wedding been finalized? When will it take place? Tell me so that I can
prepare a wedding gift for her,” Daphne asked with a smile.
Jennifer Mailon, Annie’s mother, was a university lecturer. She and her husband Matthew followed a
career in teaching
and were now focusing their minds on Annie’s wedding, which they cared a lot about. She replied with
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏma smile, “They’ve gotten engaged, but we need the Lloyd Family to decide the date of the wedding.
Richard is very busy, after all.”
Angela lowered her head while sipping a cup of tea that she was holding. It was apparent from the way
Jennifer had referred to Richard that she was treating him as her son-in-law.
Seeing that her family had started to talk about her wedding, Annie couldn’t help but blush shyly.
Richard’s tall figure appeared in her mind. How I wish he were present!
Joshua let out a chuckle. “I’ll talk to Phillip in the next few days to have the wedding held sooner.”
Angela took a drink from her tea and choked on it by accident in a moment of absentmindedness. She
quickly covered her mouth and coughed a few times under the table. When Daphne saw this, she
quickly stretched out her hand and patted her on the back.
