Chapter 985

Angela was lost for words for a moment. Seems like Annie assumes that Richard and I didn‘t meet often. But who

would know that we‘d lived together day and night for two months? “I...” She sat down.

However, as soon as she uttered the first syllable, Annie held her hand and asked again, “How is he? Is he easy to

get along with? Is he a serious man? He knows that we‘re cousins, right? Did he take good care of you?”

Angela‘s heart suddenly clenched. Seeing the curious look in Annie‘s eyes, she found herself at a loss for words for

a moment.

Just then, Annie‘s cell phone rang; she picked it up and looked at its screen. “It‘s Grandpa. He‘s probably calling me

to urge us to go out for dinner,” she said before stepping aside to answer the phone. “Hey, Grandpa! We‘re

coming,” she said. Then, she hung up and said to Angela, “Angela, go put on a coat. It‘s time for us to go out for

dinner. Everybody wants to see you.”

Angela nodded before standing up to get her coat. However, after entering the closet, she leaned against the wall

wearily and let out a sigh. In the end, she grabbed an overcoat and went out with Annie.

Daphne and Gilbert had been waiting for her. When she came out, Daphne came over and looked at her. She said

in surprise, “Why are you dressed so simply? You‘re not wearing makeup, nor are you wearing earrings or a

necklace.”

Angela shook her head with a smile. “It‘s okay, Mom. We‘re just going for dinner with our family.”

Daphne had no choice but to drop the matter. Just then, the female helper who had gone to collect the laundry

came over and said, “Miss Angela, this fell out of your clothes.” She was holding a pink raw crystal in her hand.

Angela‘s heart twinged. As she took the crystal, Annie leaned over curiously to look at it, asking, “What is this,

Angela? Is this a crystal?”

“Yeah. I got it in the mountains.” Angela put the crystal into her handbag.

“It looks quite beautiful. Do you want to make the crystal into a pendant or a bracelet?” Daphne asked with a smile.

“I–I haven‘t made up my mind yet.” Angela recalled how she had told Richard that she wanted to have the crystal

made into two pendants so that they‘d each have one. Right now, however, she didn‘t want to make the crystal into

anything. I‘ll just take it as a memento.

Angela and Annie sat in the car, but the latter couldn‘t stop talking about the subject just now. She pestered Angela

with questions, asking, “Angela, tell me about Richard. Is he easy to get along with? Is he handsome at work?”

Angela nodded. “H–He‘s quite easy to get along with, but he seems very busy. I rarely saw him, so I don‘t know

much about him.”

“Yeah, that‘s understandable. He left in a hurry before the end of our engagement dinner last time.” Richard was a

workaholic in Annie‘s mind‘s eye.

“Annie, when will you get married to him? Has the date been finalized?” Angela asked tentatively

Annie‘s face blushed. She replied shyly, “It‘s still early for that! We‘ve only met once, after all. But Grandpa said

that Richard‘s grandfather wishes us to get married sooner because he wants to have a great–grandson.”

Angela looked at Annie as emotions surged within her. Her feelings were mixed, but she was also glad that she

didn‘t ruin the latter‘s happiness. “Congratulations, Annie.”

“Thank you, Angela. By the way, did Richard mention me when you met him? I sent him a lot of text messages, but

he didn‘t reply to any of them. I once suspected that I had the wrong phone number,” Annie said with a bitter

expression.

Dumbfounded, Angela looked at her. “He didn‘t reply to any of your text messages?”

Annie gave a sigh of disappointment. “That‘s right! I sent him almost 50 text messages. I wonder if he‘s so busy

that he doesn‘t have time to text me back.”

Angela was suddenly enraged. Like hell he is that busy! He spends lots of time reading over there. But how could he

be so cruel as to not reply to any of Annie‘s messages? “How could he do this to you?” she said angrily at once.

Annie comforted her instead, saying, “It‘s okay, Angela. I know that he‘s busy; perhaps he‘s rushed off his feet with

lots of stuff to do. Please don‘t blame him for that.”

Angela‘s chest heaved up and down. She really wanted to tell Annie that Richard wasn‘t busy at all, and that he had

plenty of time and was ignoring her text messages on purpose. She also felt sorry for Annie, whose feelings for

Richard weren‘t reciprocated at all.
