Meanwhile, Richard was pleased to see her being jealous, yet his heart ached ast well. The girl approached him to offer a drink, but before he could make any response, Angela was back The girl at the next table, who was crossing swords with Angela in mute, realized that he was looking at her. Instantly, she made eyes at him to seduce. him while endeavoring to piss Angela off.

However, at that moment, he turned his head sideways and shot glares at her, which were cold and sharp like the excalibur.

Her heart missed a beat in fear, for never once had she felt the gaze of a wild beast before. It was perilous yet tantalizing.

“Let’s go.” She could not sit still due to the surging fear and ultimately pulled her friends to leave the place.

While Angela was disappointed by how they left without finishing their food, Richard piped up, “Let’s not mind the strangers. We should dig in.”

Sharing the same notion, she felt that it was meaningless to waste time. Next, her gaze landed upon the steak on his plate, which seemed tastier than hers. She pointed at it. “I wanna have a bite of yours.”

He proffered her a small piece of meat to her mouth and she gladly chewed it. “Hmm. It is tastier than mine.”

“I’ll order another one for you,” he suggested.

“No. I want to have yours.” She was actually full, but she acted as though she wanted to snatch his food.

Angela was suddenly in the mood to poke fun at Richard again.

After finishing lunch, she checked on the time and it was 2.30PM. It was time for her to return to the company since there will be a meeting with a department that required her attendance.

As such, he drove her to the entrance of the company. Holding onto the bouquet of flowers, she suddenly hesitated. Should I bring it to the office? If I bring it along, Mom will know that I have a pursuer, though. If I don’t, I will have to throw it away, but he picked the flowers for me. I can’t do that.

After contemplating for a while, she hugged the flowers and alighted from the car before waving her hand at him. “Bye bye.”

Richard watched her off despite the heavy heart. It was not until she disappeared into a corner of the lobby that he started the car and left.

However, Daphne, who was about to get out of the car nearby, witnessed the whole scene: she saw her daughter alighted from a mysterious, huge SUV with a bouquet in her hands. The person in the car seemed to be reluctant to let Angela go as he watched her leave.

Daphne was surprised, for she had not known that Angela started a new relationship again.

Who is he? What is his family background? Is he a greedy fraudster like Dexter?

She alighted from the car anxiously and made a dash to the office. At this moment, Angela already hid the flowers behind the curtains. Since her mother was not around, she decided to keep it a secret for as long as she could.

Even so, while she was going to peruse some documents on the couch, she noticed Daphne’s return and rose to her feet. “Mom, you’re back.” Daphne’s stern gaze fixated upon Angela as she interrogated, “Angela, I saw a man sending you back. Tell me. Are you dating someone?”

Angela’s heart squeezed as she did not expect Daphne to see her getting out of Richard’s car.

“You were holding a bouquet of flowers too. Where did you hide it? Are you going to keep me in the dark?” Angela’s previous relationship had consigned Daphne into distress. Now, her anxiety was arising because she was worried that her precious daughter would encounter another deceiving, bad guy.

“Mom, don’t worry about it. He’s not a liar,” Angela comforted.

“Then, what is his name and what is his. job? Is he from a decent family? Since when did you start dating him?” Daphne bombarded Angela with a flow of questions.

Angela bit her lips and pleaded, “Mom, can you leave the questions later? I’ll introduce him to you when the time is right.”

“Angela, once is enough. I must know everything about that man. You cannot hide anything from me,” claimed Daphne as she sat on the couch with a grim face.

“Mom… He’s-” “Where is he from?”

“He lives in the same city,” Angela answered hastily. “What does his family do?”

“His family is richer than us.” She was feeling guilty.

Daphne was stunned at that. “Really? Tell me. Which family is he from? How old is he? And what is his name?”

Daphne thought to herself, Once I got his name, I must look into his background. Angela is still young and clueless about so many things. I need to pry further into the man’s family history too. It’s Angela’s future. I mustn’t be sloppy and careless about it.

However, Angela merely stared at her mother in silence.

“Fine, you’re not saying anything, are you? I took a photo of his number plate and I’m going to call your father to look into it. With his capability, I don’t believe that he won’t be able to find out who that guy is,” said Daphne while reaching out her hands to look for her phone.

“Mom, don’t! I’ll tell you.” Angela stopped her immediately.

“So, what is his name and what does he do for a living?” questioned Daphne forcefully.

Angela took a deep breath and lowered her head. With eyes closed, she revealed the name in a loud voice. “Richard Lloyd. He’s Richard Lloyd.” Thud!

The phone in Daphne’s hand slipped through her fingers and dropped onto the ground. Her expression turned into a surprised and baffled one.

She had no idea that her daughter’s date would be… Richard Lloyd. The Richard who had just called off the engagement with Annie?!

It took a few seconds before Daphne regained her composure. As she looked at her daughter’s guilty and slightly flustered eyes, she let out a sigh while clearly agitated.

Angela rushed over to her mother and held her arm. “Go ahead and lash out on me all you want! Just promise me that you won’t get worked up and hurt. yourself, okay?”

To be fair, Daphne was not upset with her daughter, but things were just too absurd to take in at the moment. Richard, who just broke up with Annie, is dating my daughter? When did this happen? Why did Angela keep this information hidden from us?

She stared at Angela and questioned, “Tell me all about it. When did it all start?”

Not wanting to keep her mother in the dark for much longer. Angela revealed  her active pursuit of Richard back in the base and explained that she had no idea.

he was Annie’s fiancé at that time.

To her surprise, Daphne had not expected her daughter to take the initiative in pursuing a man. According to the timeline, it was factually correct that her daughter was unaware of Annie being Richard’s ex-fiancé since Angela was shielded and had all communications cut off at the time. Therefore, it was natural of her to develop feelings for him in the base.

“What should I say to your uncle and aunt? Your aunt is still upset about the canceled engagement! You have no idea how much she adores Richard, her ideal. son-in-law. I can’t believe he’ll be my son in-law instead!” Daphne expressed her concern.

“Pffi!” Angela burst into laughter. In exchange, Daphne shot her a glare and sneered, “Oh, you’re laughing, huh? How about you suggest ways for the elders to get out of this awkward situation?”

At this point, Daphne suddenly remembered that she had purposefully brought up Richard’s work and family issues at the previous dinner to persuade her sister-in-law to open up. Now, it was a total slap in the face.

“I apologize, Mom. That was not my intention. Angela expressed solemnly.

“Is Richard genuinely fond of you?” Daphne was curious.
