Chapter 1008

With a straight face, Annie had no choice but to answer, “Mom, it‘s a male friend that I‘ve had a crush on for two

years.”

Jennifer was surprised. Is it true that Annie has had a two–year crush on someone? How is this the first time I‘m

hearing about it?

“Mom, actually, I‘m not satisfied with the engagement Grandpa arranged for me. Plus, Richard is not my type.

Breaking off the engagement has honestly relieved me so much.” She presented a pleased expression on her face

as she declared.

Surprised, Jennifer could only stare at her daughter as Annie continued slyly, “Mom, let me tell you a secret, but

you can‘t lecture me!”

“What is the secret?”

“On the day Richard called off our engagement, I allowed him to pursue Angela. I reflected that just because I don‘t

fancy such a great man doesn‘t mean that some other women can‘t! Guess what happened? I didn‘t expect

Richard to fall in love with Angela at first sight, let alone pursue her!”

“Exactly what did you say? Richard is pursuing Angela now?” Jennifer was stunned; she could not believe her

daughter had done such a ‘generous‘ thing.

“Isn‘t it wonderful, Mom? Richard comes from an affluent family. Once he becomes a member of our family, we will

be able to seek future assistance from the Lloyds!” Annie exclaimed while blinking.

“This child! Daphne just mentioned the other day that Richard is not husband material and you even matched him

up with Angela! Aren‘t you afraid that Daphne will be unhappy?” Jennifer was worried that his older brother and

sister–in–law would blame her daughter for her rash behavior.

“Mom, the ‘problem‘ is that Angela has feelings for Richard as well. Even if Uncle Gilbert and Aunt Daphne disagree,

there is nothing you can do about it. Furthermore, I believe they will adore Richard since he is a charming one!”

“I certainly hope so.” Jennifer breathed a sigh of relief and looked at her daughter guiltily.

The reason for the planned engagement in the first place was because they were trying to marry Annie off into a

powerful and influential family like the Lloyds. As such, they did not ask for her opinion before making such a life–

altering decision. Only now had Jennifer discovered that her daughter had a crush on someone else.

Seeing that there was no sign of fury on her mother‘s face, Annie concluded the issue

had been resolved.

“If there‘s nothing else, I‘m heading back to my room!”

“Wait a minute, you have yet to tell me anything about your crush!” Jennifer exclaimed, bringing Annie to a halt.

“Aw, Mom, hold your horses. When we head to Grandpa‘s for dinner tomorrow, I‘ll invite him over. You‘ll be able to

see him then.” She went upstairs after she finished speaking

As soon as she returned to her room, she retrieved her phone and dialed Angela, telling her the story she had just

made up. Angela was utterly grateful to Annie; not only was she not mad at her, she even did her a big favor.

“I appreciate it so much, Annie.”

“It‘s all right. I‘m looking forward to your wedding. I‘ll be your maid of honor.”

“It‘s up in the air!” Angela chuckled.

“Then, go for it! Tackle Richard as soon as possible, marry him, and give birth to a little great–grandson for his

grandfather.” Annie chortled.

Angela‘s face turned bright red at this point as she exclaimed, “You‘re lightyears ahead of us.”

“Angela, please inform your parents so that I don‘t blow my cover. I‘ve talked about it with my mother.”

“All right, I‘ll tell my parents.”

Annie hung up the phone and went through her social media accounts, deciding which male friend would be best

suited to be her fake boyfriend, whom she would bring home to show her parents.

Elton Hemmings. Her heart skipped a beat when she saw the name. Nervous, she summoned the courage to dial

his number.

“Hello, Annie.” On the other end of the line, there was a distinct male voice.

“What have you been up to, Elton? I need a favor from you.”

“What is it?”

“I need you to pretend to be my boyfriend and go to my grandpa‘s house tomorrow,” she stated unequivocally.

There was a brief silence and Elton was clearly stunned for a few seconds before responding, “Okay!”

“Really?” Annie could not hide her joy.

“Yes, really. When have I ever lied to you?”
