Chapter 989
Richard immediately approached Angela and, with his long arms, opened the door for her before he chuckled. “Did
that kiss I gave you make your knees go weak?”
She glared at him in utter disgust that he would still have the nerve to say such a thing. Next, she fled from the
room along the corridor toward the bathroom to calm herself down.
Meanwhile, Richard made his way to a room, pushed open the door, and entered, where he was greeted by a calm
and charming man. He had obviously been waiting a long time as he was staring intently out the window.
“Sorry for the wait, Elliot,” he apologized as he sat across from him.
The man waiting for Richard at the table was Elliot Presgrave. Dressed in a deep black suit, he gave off a sense of
regal elegance. “Don‘t worry. I know how busy you are, “he said while adjusting his posture. Then, looking at his
best friend with curiosity, he asked, “Is it my imagination? It appears that you have changed slightly.”
“What has changed?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Your eyes. Have you recently met someone? I‘m assuming a woman has entered your life.” With his razor–sharp
gaze, Elliot assessed him.
Richard replied, almost at a loss for words, “You‘re just as insightful as always.”
“It‘s just a habit of mine.” He smiled. As his curiosity grew, he inquired, “Did you meet someone you‘re interested
in?”
Richard hadn‘t expected such a swift blow to his self–esteem. He had said before that he would never have
romantic feelings for a woman. However, God had other plans for him and set up a love affair that he couldn‘t
avoid in less than three months. “Yeah.” He nodded without attempting to contradict Elliott‘s assumption.
Elliot said while he appeared to be congratulating him with his gaze, “Let‘s have dinner together sometime soon.
You can then introduce her to Anastasia and me.”
However, Richard had no assurance that such a day would come. “It‘s a little complicated right now. We‘ll talk
about it when the time comes.”
The two friends then discussed their current affairs. When Richard mentioned that he was ready to take his
revenge, Elliot‘s face immediately turned serious before he gave his advice. “Richard, I know how you‘re feeling,
but you must not act rashly.
“Even though my uncle tried to stop me, I’m not going to comply with his arrangements. I‘ll handle things with that
person in my own way.” The words came
from Richard, whose eyes were as cold as knives and without the slightest sign of compromise.
“If you need my help, just say the word.” Elliot was aware that he could not be persuaded once he had made up his
mind, but could not help worrying.
Richard shook his head. “Not right now. I‘m still preparing everything, so it‘s not the right time yet.”
In the meantime, Angela returned to the room and was back in her seat. She intended to keep a low profile as she
listened to her family discuss trivial matters of their daily lives. When Annie approached her with an inquisitive
attitude and leaned next to her, she asked, “Angela, where‘ve you been? You‘ve been gone for quite some time.”
“I–I ran into an old friend and we chatted for a while.” She could not bring herself to look Annie in the eyes.
The two sisters fit into two distinct categories of stunning beauty. Annie had a face that was both beautiful and

Angela still couldn‘t enjoy the meal she was eating because her mind and heart weren‘t in the right place. She got a
text message right then and was so bored that she decided to look at it, although she thought it was probably a
spam message. She inhaled deeply as she read the text message. ‘This is my private number. Remember to save it.
She didn‘t have to guess who sent this. Fearing that this message would be seen by others, she quickly hid it by
covering her phone with her hand.
At that moment, she overheard her mom talking. “Dad, there are so many fine young gentlemen around you;
perhaps you can introduce Angela to some of them. She‘s old enough to get married,” Daphne spoke to Joshua.
Feeling a tug on her heartstrings, she said hastily, “Mom, Mom. I‘m not in a hurry to get married.”
“Even though you‘re a year and a half older than Annie, she‘s already engaged!” Daphne retorted.
Joshua shared Daphne‘s sentiments, so he said, “Alright. Angela, I‘ll find you a suitable match. I recall a friend of
mine telling me that he has a grandson who turned twenty eight this year and has a great personality. I‘ll introduce
you to him one of these days.”
Angela looked at him with concern and said, “You don‘t have to do that, Grandpa. I don‘t want to marry just yet.”
“Dad, you should make an appointment with the Lloyd Family so that we can discuss
Annie‘s wedding plans,” Jennifer said with a hint of urgency.
