Chapter 986
“Annie, aren‘t you angry about that?” Angela asked while looking at Annie.
Annie shook her head understandingly. “I‘m not angry. I‘m happy as long as he saw my messages. I‘m just texting
him about my feelings, anyway. I‘m afraid of bothering him, but I can‘t help wanting to chat with him.”
Angela stretched out her hand and patted Annie on the head while looking at her with sympathy. It‘s too bad that
such feelings aren‘t cherished. She hoped Richard would give Annie a quick answer as soon as possible instead of
letting the latter get her hopes up for nothing. Doesn‘t he want to break off their engagement? If he really doesn‘t
love Annie, he can do that and stop making a laughingstock of her sacrifice, she thought somewhat indignantly.
Just then, Annie said with a look of envy, “Angela, I‘m so envious of you for being able to see him. If only I were
quarantined along with you at the time. That way, I‘d be able to see him as well.”
Angela‘s heart stopped. She also wished she could travel back to the day of Annie‘s engagement. If only I knew that
he was Annie‘s fiancé. That way, what happened after that wouldn‘t have happened. She knew that she was the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtorigin of all the tragedies between them. “Don‘t be envious of me. That place is sealed off, so you won‘t get used to
living there.”
“Then how did you manage to get through?”
“I–I killed time by reading.” Angela pursed her lips, not daring to look Annie in the eye.
“As long as I‘m able to see him, I‘ll be happy no matter how bored I feel. It‘s too bad that I didn‘t know he was the
one protecting you at the time. Had I known it earlier, I‘d have gone with you no matter what,” Annie said with a
look of regret.
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.”
Angela felt embarrassed upon seeing them. Just then, Gilbert asked, “Dad, are the Lloyds coming as well?”
Angela iurned 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.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“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 a
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.
