Chapter 967
At that moment, her phone binged and it made her heart flutter. She quickly grabbed it as she had a hunch that it
was Richard–it really was him.
‘I‘m at the doorstep. Can we meet?‘
Her heart was racing and she sprang to her feet to run to the balcony at which she could see a car parked under
the trees outside of the house; her breathing became slightly heavier.
He‘s really here! Should I go?
However, before she found the answer to her dilemma, her phone rang. She sighed and answered the call.
“Come down.” The man‘s low voice resounded.
“It‘s late. I should—”
“Then, I‘ll come to you,” he interrupted.

“It‘s up to you.” He coaxed her into making a decision.
She was rendered speechless as she wondered, Since when do I always listen to him?
“Just go. I‘m tired today. I don‘t wanna see you.” Still, her guilty conscience was pricked by the fact that Annie‘s
engagement was just called off. It would be tactless to see him right now.
“You have five minutes,” said the man before hanging up the phone. Apparently, there was no room for discussion
in this.
She stared at the car, which had its headlights turned on, and bit her lips in frustration because of his antics.
Nevertheless, she gave in as she did not wish him to climb over the window again. It was perilous.
After changing into something casual, she headed downstairs where Daphne was watching the television in the
living room. She lied, “Mom, a friend of mine is here to take me for a hangout. I‘ll be home soon.”
“Who? A guy or a girl?”
“It‘s a girl.”
“Well, be careful, honey. You know it‘s dangerous when it‘s dark out there.”
“Got it. I‘ll be back as early as possible.” Angela then pulled open the door and left.
She strode toward the black SUV when the window on the driver seat was unwound. The man‘s intense gaze landed
upon her while he let out a faint smile.
She hopped onto the passenger seat and asked, “Say it. I‘m heading back after we‘re done talking”
Suddenly, he started the car engine and she frowned. “Where are you taking me?”
“For a walk. Let‘s get some fresh air.” He turned the steering wheel and drove the car away, but she did not thwart
him as she looked out of the window in silence.
“How‘s Annie doing?” Richard questioned concernedly.
“She‘s doing fine. She‘s going for a vacation soon,” replied Angela.
“When are you going to tell her about us?” he added.

He glanced at her as well. That was not an explicit answer, but it meant that there was still a chance for them.
Silence filled the car; as though her thoughts were surging aloud in her mind, she turned her head to zero in on
Richard. The street lights shafted upon him and enhanced his engaging features. Despite wearing only a black
sweater, he could not hide the polished air around him.
Angela finally knew why he gave her such a sophisticated impression–it was due to the inherent elegance that ran
in his family and blood. She had done research on his mother, who looked gorgeous and graceful in the pictures
spread online. Furthermore, she discovered that Richard‘s mother had a husband.
“It‘s said that your uncle is the vice president of the country. Is that true?”
He hummed in response without any detailed elaboration.
“Did your mother remarry?” She tried to keep her voice gentle while asking that very question.
She knew almost nothing of him. Besides him, her knowledge pertaining to his family and background was close to
nil.
