“Do you know, Angela? I actually liked Richard solely because of his appearance! I’ve always been
after good-looking dudes, as you know. Sure, he’s attractive, but I’m not sure why I feel this constant
sense of pressure whenever I am around him; almost suffocating, I should say. To be honest, I don’t
have the guts to like him; in fact, I’m even scared of him,” Annie explained as she sighed.
“Is that true?” Angela was surprised.
“Yeah! After some thoughts, I realized that he’s not for me, but he sure is for you! Now, get together!
You should not be embarrassed just because I was engaged to him. Grandpa will be thrilled to have
the Lloyds as his in-laws!” Annie exclaimed, her eyes wide with excitement.
Though her words had perplexed Angela, they also relieved her greatly. “Annie, thank you so much for
understanding. I’m truly sorry,” said Angela as she reached out to hug Annie again.
“Angela, be brave and follow your heart! I am so thankful to have such an amazing brother-in-law!”
Annie felt embarrassed when she patted Angela on the back and discovered she was in tears.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAngela’s eyes welled up and she pursed her lips, reaching out to wipe the corners of her eyes. The two
of them then exchanged smiles.
“Are you worried about what my parents have to say? Relax and leave it up to me. I’ll deal with them.”
“How do you plan to do that?” asked the curious Angela.
“There is nothing they care more about than my happiness. Do you think they’ll be happy if I bring a
new boyfriend home tomorrow and tell them he’s my crush?”
This time, Angela could not help but tear up again when she saw Annie trying so hard to help her.
The two talked all the way back to the car and Angela drove Annie home. Indeed,
Annie was not a least bit upset with her cousin as she sincerely wished that both Richard and Angela
would end up together soon.
In fact, Annie had been feeling a little lost. after her engagement as she believed that she was inferior
to others in some ways. However, she now knew that the girl she envied was Angela and she was
nothing but convinced.
Furthermore, Richard was unsuitable for her because he was cold and harsh; she preferred a man with
a warmer personality.
As soon as Annie entered the door, she fished out her phone, pretending to be on a call with someone.
“Hey! I’m home. Please drive safely! Thank you for tonight’s treat,” she spoke sweetly.
This immediately drew Jennifer’s attention, who was watching TV in the living room. Who is Annie
talking with on the phone?
“I’m also happy to be with you! Hmm, I love you.” Annie finished her sentence softly as if she was afraid
of being eavesdropped.
Just as she planned, Jennifer could clearly hear her voice in the quiet hall. When Annie entered the
living room, she was deliberately startled and covered her phone in shock. “Mom, why haven’t you
returned to your room?”
Jennifer was compelled to ask, “Who were you on the phone with?”
“I… It’s just a friend!” Annie gave a shy smile.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“What friend? Is it a man or a woman?” Jennifer persisted in her inquiry.
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!”
