Filed To Story: Finding the Secret Daddy for My Baby Novel

Gazing at Annie’s tear-stained face, Angela heaved a sigh as she figured that it had been a rough day for Annie. “Nothing. You’ll get over it soon.”

Following that, Annie rested her head on Angela’s shoulder wearily. “Angela, do you know? I heard that his uncle is the vice president of the country; even his mother is from a powerful family. I bet a lot of wonderful women will like him.”

Angela’s brows slightly furrowed. Is Richard from such a powerful family? Is the vice president his uncle? But I remember that the vice president is still young! There’s only about two years difference in their age, though.

“Angela, I’m starving. I haven’t eaten anything until now.” Annie suddenly thought of her rumbling stomach.

“What? He didn’t even buy you a meal?” Rage suddenly rushed in Angela’s veins.

A surprised Annie looked at her with baffled eyes.

“How dare he!” It was almost 1.00PM at the moment.

“No, it’s not like that. I left the restaurant without eating anything. Don’t blame him.” Annie attempted to put in good words for Richard as Angela seemed like she was going to punch someone right then.

Angela inhaled deeply to regain her composure before taking hold of Annie’s hand. “Let’s go. Just grab anything you want. All on me.”

“Let’s go for a feast! I wanna have the most expensive seafood buffet.” Annie decided to efface her sadness with a feast.

Annie knew her place very well. After some thought, she realized that it was not a big deal as Richard was not the man she could get along with anyway.

During the meal, she was in the mode of binge-eating her sadness away whereas Angela had not much of an appetite. All these years, Angela had been playing her role as the elder sister to look after Annie since they were young.

“Angela, what are you staring at? Dig in!” asked Annie as she raised her head. “I don’t feel like eating right now. You can enjoy them yourself,” soothed Angela.

“I’ve been on a diet for the past three months because I’m afraid that Richard will not like it if I’m chubby, but none of that matters now! I can quit my diet and eat whatever I want.

You don’t know how difficult it’s been for me.” Annie chewed on her food adorably as she found the reason for her happiness despite the bad day.

Angela broke into a smile. “Well, have as much as you want then.”

At that moment, her phone rang upon receiving a message after which she fished it out to take a look at it.

I’ve called off the engagement.

She could tell who the sender was right away and she replied, ‘I know. I’m with Annie right now.

“I’ll give you another week. Please be my girlfriend. The domineering aura seeped into his words.

Staring at his text, she eventually zoned out as her mind was in a mess. She could never be his girlfriend as soon as Annie’s engagement was called off. Not to mention the fact that she did not have the guts to be with him!

In the end, she chose to ignore his message and set down her phone while Annie asked curiously, “Angela, I heard that you broke up with Dexter. Is that true?”

“Hmm, it’s been a while.”

“Angela, honestly, I think that he’s not the guy for you. Look at how he behaves in front of you. What is it called again? Oh, like a simp! I hate him so much.” Annie was vexed. “By the way, I haven’t told you about something. When I went abroad to visit you, he wrapped his arm around my shoulder on purpose at a restaurant!”

“Really? Did he do anything to you?” The ire was sizzling in Angela’s eyes, for she merely gave Dexter a call to end things with him. She should have given him a few slaps in the face!

“Nope, but he definitely crossed the line because he was still your boyfriend at that time. I didn’t dare to tell you about it,” recounted Annie.

Angela took a deep breath. “He’s going to get it from me if I see him again.”

“Angela, you deserve someone better. You’re prettier and more capable than I am. You’re going to take over the company in the future as the charismatic president.” Annie laid out her genuine thoughts.

Angela smiled lightly. “I am going to take my mother’s place.”

“For real! That’s awesome!” Annie gave Angela a thumbs up.

Angela stared at her sister. Due to the sincere bond they mutually shared, never once had she thought of putting Annie in harm’s way. That was why she forsaked every chance she had by backing off when it came to her relationship with Richard.

After completing his mission, Richard had made up his mind to keep his grandfather company for a while at Lloyd Residence. There was a week for him to spend time with his family before undertaking his next mission.

At 12.00PM, Phillip was feeding the fish at the yard when Richard returned home. He walked toward Phillip’s back and sprinkled the flakes into the pond while saying, “Grandpa, there’s something I gotta inform you about.”

“Go ahead.”

“I’ve called off the engagement with Annie.”

Phillip turned to look at him in confusion. “Why didn’t you discuss with me first?”

“There’s no need for that. I have someone I like.” Richard’s tone was firm. The old man was on the brink of flipping out, but his attention was diverted to Richard’s confession. “Oh? Who is it?”

“Not now. I’ll tell you some other day.”

“Don’t you dare pull a trick on me. I won’t let you off if it’s a lie.”

“Grandpa, please inform Meyers Family about it in my stead. I will send my apology to them.”

Needless to say. Phillip would not permit Richard to do that since he was the one forcing the engagement on him in the first place. If there had to be someone to apologize for it, Phillip should be the one doing it. He then patted Richard’s shoulder. ‘A week later, bring over the girl you like. I would like to have a meal with her.”

Richard took a few seconds to ponder over it. “Okay, I’ll do my best to persuade her.”

That night, everyone was notified to have dinner at Meyers Residence. Phillip had phoned Joshua to apologize about the called-off engagement. Considering that it was a big family event, prudent notice was necessary.

Angela and Annie headed straight to Meyers Residence from the mall in the city center and their parents arrived soon. after they did. Dinner was served as usual on the dining table in which every member of the family was present..

“Ann, don’t take it personally and don’t blame the Lloyd Family,” Joshua comforted Annie before turning to face his youngest son and daughter-in-law. “You too. Don’t be too upset about it. It’ll do no good to both families.”

“Relax, Dad. We’re chill.” Matthew eased his father’s worries.

“Yeah. Ann is just down on her luck.” As the mother, Jennifer was a little resentful about the outcome as she had been looking forward to her daughter’s marriage.

Hearing that, Daphne piped out as her sister-in-law, “Jennifer, look at the bright side. Ann is still young and pretty. She’ll find herself a good match sooner or later.

Think about it-no matter how outstanding of a person Richard is, he has to be away from home often for his missions. Ann might live a widow-like life after marrying him. She’s better off being single.”
