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 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.”
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.
