Angela’s lovely face turned bright red. “He is, I guess?” Her shyness had overshadowed her confidence in this case.

She had no idea how much Richard liked her; all she knew was that he did not agree to the breakup.

“Alright! We’ll explain it to your uncle and aunt once you’ve told Annie about it and received her approval.” On the contrary, Daphne was joyful after the shocking revelation moments ago. Afterall, it was a blessing to marry into the Lloyd Family!

Not only did Richard possess dependability and strength, he was also an exceptional appearance and physique. More importantly, Angela would always have his full support in the future.

Although Angela never dared to confront Annie and come clean about her situation, she had reached a point where there was no other choice.

“Okay. I’ll invite Annie out for dinner tonight to talk about it; perhaps even seek her forgiveness if I could.” She nodded, agreeing with her mother’s words.

Satisfied, Daphne bobbed her head before looking around the office and inquired, “Didn’t you just bring a bouquet up here? What did you do with it?”

Out of embarrassment, Angela stood up and reached behind the curtains for the bouquet of flowers. On the other hand, Daphne could not help but sigh inwardly; she was completely satisfied with her daughter’s boyfriend this time.

It was, however, a minor annoyance as the situation had to be handled correctly to avoid tension with Annie’s family.

Exiting the room, Daphne made a phone call to her husband, Gilbert. As soon as Gilbert picked up the phone, he was greeted with a question.

“Gilbert, Angela now has a boyfriend. Can you guess who?”

Stumped, he could only toss a few gusses in his head before he asked, “Who is it?! There’s no way I could have guessed. Now, tell me.”

“It’s Richard,” Daphne answered right away.

Gilbert, who was on the other end of the phone, was equally astounded. “Why is Angela in a relationship with Richard? What exactly is going on? Did they just start dating?”

“No. They met at the base and fell in love since then. I would have been kept in the dark had I not seen my daughter on a date with him back at the office today! She was afraid of being chastised, so she never told us about it.”

“Annie may not be able to enjoy that life, but I can’t believe our Angela can!” “I know, right? I just hope their side will understand.”

“Let’s all meet up and talk sometime!”

“Okay, but we’ll have to wait till Angela speaks with Annie tonight! We can go back to Dad’s for dinner and discuss it tomorrow.”

Lying dazedly on the couch, Angela could not believe her mother had discovered everything without any prior ‘rehearsal’. All that was left to do now was to be honest with Annie.

“President Meyers, someone just sent you a dinner invitation,’ Daphne’s assistant said as she prepared to leave the office.

“What kind of dinner invitation?” Daphne was surprised to see the assistant hand over an invitation card box with lavish packaging.

For a few seconds, she was stunned as she looked at the words printed on it. It was an invitation to a charity dinner with a royal theme. This is no ordinary dinner invitation.

“Angela, are you familiar with the person who sent this invitation card?” As she brought the card into the office, she inquired of her daughter.

Taken aback, Angela took the invitation card from Daphne’s hand. She then ripped open the girdle, revealing a handwritten note inside an enveloped card.

“Dear Miss Meyers, The Golden Peony Charity Dinner cordially invites you to join us for our annual dinner celebration. We eagerly await your arrival and thank you for taking the time to meet with us.” The simple invitation was signed by a person named Scarlet Husson.

“Mom, this is the name of Richard’s mother.” Angela gasped with one hand covering her mouth.

Daphne noticed it as well and could not help but ask, “Have you met his mother?”

“I’ve never seen her,” Angela replied while shaking her head.

“That’s probably because she knows you’re Richard’s girlfriend and specifically invited you to this dinner.”

Has Richard told his mother about me? Why else am I invited?

Daphne looked intently at her daughter as a sense of worry surged within her. She hoped that Angela’s future mother-in-law would adore her and generously accept her into the Lloyd Family.

“Angela, show your best self at this dinner party. It’s possible that this is a test from your future mother-in-law.”

To that, Angela could not help but clench her fists and nod, “I know, Mom.”

She then dialed Richard’s phone number as she left the reception area.

“Hello,”

“Did you bring up our relationship with your mother?” she inquired, clearly intrigued.

“What’s the matter?”

“I just received a dinner invitation from your mother and I’m perplexed.”

“My mother appears to be very eager to meet her future daughter-in-law.” Richard, on the other end of the phone, was clearly unsurprised because he had told his mother at the base that he would bring his girlfriend home.

Angela reluctantly expressed her concern to him, “I had just gotten out of your car when my mother saw me carrying a bouquet of flowers! When she asked about our relationship, I told her everything. Now, I’ll have to spill all the beans to everyone in my family.”

“I’ll do it,” he uttered quietly as if he was willing to withstand all blame and criticism by himself.

However, she flatly refused. “You are not allowed to speak. I was the one who got it all started, I owe my family an apology.”

“I don’t want you to get hurt.”

“They are my family. They’ll never hurt me and I only hope to receive their blessings. Don’t worry, I’m going to be fine.” promised Angela.

Richard wanted to protect her from being hurt and criticized, but she had the same thoughts-no matter how serious the mistake was, she would take on all of it and never involve him.

It was the evening and Angela had invited Annie out to dinner. Coincidentally, Annie was also getting ready for a trip and she gladly agreed to accompany her. At around 5.00PM, Angela drove to pick up Annie, who emerged in a casual outfit as she opened the door of the passenger seat and smiled. “Angela, my luggage is all packed. I’ve already booked a flight and I will be leaving in two days.”

“Are you traveling by yourself?”

“No, I invited a few of my classmates to join me. I’ll have many companions there!”

Nodding, Angela then drove to a well known western restaurant. She did not want to spoil Annie’s dinner appetite, so she refrained from saying anything before their meal.

After dinner, she suggested a walk in a nearby park and the two went there. Despite the fact that Annie was usually a lighthearted character, she could tell Angela was full of thoughts.

“Angela, are you having any troubles? Why do you look so down this entire evening?”

At last, Angela led Annie to a bench and raised her head before saying, “Annie, I have something to tell you. What I am about to say may possibly hurt you, and you can blame or shout at me all you want after hearing it, but you must remain calm and rational.”
