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

The banquet was held at a world-class banquet hall and it wasn’t just any ordinary hotel ballroom. The guests invited to the event tonight were parties that Scarlet intended to express her gratitude toward and those guests were made up of the wealthy, the powerful, and even ordinary people too.

Nonetheless, each one of them was honored to be invited.

Angela was led into the banquet hall by Richard and he held her hand in his. Scarlet-greeting guests by the entrance -saw them instantly as soon as they walked in and there was a surprised and excited look on her face as she walked over to them gracefully with poise.

“Richard, you guys are finally here.”

“Hi, Ms. Husson.” Angela quickly greeted Scarlet.

“You must be Richard’s girlfriend, Angela. You’re so pretty.” Scarlet instantly took a liking to Angela.

“Mom, you seem busy. We’ll head inside and take a seat first.” Richard didn’t want to interrupt Scarlet while she was busy with work. “Sure, head inside and get a seat. Take good care of Miss Meyers.” Scarlet nodded and watched as Richard entered the hall.

Scarlet’s eyes unconsciously landed on Angela’s back and she heaved a silent sigh as she thought, I wonder whether this girl would be able to stop Richard from joining his next mission. Would he give up for her sake?

Despite the outcome, this was ultimately one of Scarlet’s agenda tonight. She was determined to get Angela to talk Richard into giving up his current mission. This was the only wish she had as she didn’t want to lose her son.

Another woman strode over quickly to stand by Scarlet as she reported in a low voice, “Madam Falkner, the vice president is occupied with some guests, so he won’t be able to make it tonight.”

Scarlet nodded. “Sure, I’ve noticed that. Please invite Miss Angela into my dressing room ten minutes later.”

This was a traditional formal banquet, so each guest in attendance dressed up to the nines. At that moment, there were a lot of people who shone in their respective industries gathered inside the hall.

Angela was used to attending traditional banquets so she stood gracefully and with poise next to She became the center of attention of people inside the room and most people were also quite interested in the tall, handsome man by her side.

Richard had hardly appeared with Scarlet. So, many of the guests didn’t realize that Richard was Scarlet’s only son.

“Richard,” Suddenly, a low male voice rang out.

He instantly stood up and greeted the man politely. “Uncle Walter.”

Walter Falkner was Scarlet’s current husband and they didn’t have any children of their own all this while so they had adopted a girl since she was a child. Walter was an elegant man who carried himself with an impressive aura. He had fallen in love at first sight with Scarlet and since their marriage, he had always respected her profession and her choices in life.

This was also the reason why Richard was so respectful and polite toward his supposed stepfather.

“Angela, this is Mr. Walter Falkner here,” Richard introduced Angela to Walter.

She responded by greeting Walter politely, “Hi, Mr. Falkner.”

“Nice to meet you. You must be Richard’s girlfriend. Nice to meet you.” Walter nodded with a smile. “Richard, I’ve got a few old friends who are keen to meet you. Would you be able to spare the time and come with me?”

Subsequently, Richard turned to Angela and said, “I’ll be back soon.”

Angela sent them off with a smile. At that moment, one of the female ushers came over to Angela’s side and said, “Miss Angela, our mistress would like to meet with you privately.”

Meanwhile, Angela was stunned. “Who would she be?”

“It’s Madam Falkner. I’ll lead the way.” The usher smiled and gestured ahead.

Angela hastily rose to her feet and didn’t drag things any longer. Why does my future mother-in-law want to see me in private?! She trailed after the usher toward the dressing room on the second floor with a slightly anxious heart.

Meanwhile, Scarlet stood in front of the French windows inside the dressing room on the second floor. From Scarlet’s posture, it seemed that she had been purposely waiting for Angela to arrive.

“Angela, it’s good to see you,” she spoke in a soft voice.

“Ms. Husson,” Angela glanced at her future mother-in-law meekly without knowing what to say.

“Take a seat and let’s have a chat.” Scarlet gestured at the couch and took a seat too. The waiter came over and served them some tea before walking out of the room.

Angela was quite nervous and she couldn’t stop twiddling her fingers.

There was an air of elegance and poise that came quite naturally to Scarlet and one could feel quite pressured to be in front of Scarlet.

“Relax. I’m not here to criticize you. I like you very much and I’m pleased that you’re in love with my son. I would never interfere in your relationship with each other,” Scarlet comforted Angela kindly.

Hearing that, Angela’s nervous feeling dissipated instantly and she felt that Scarlet was such a gracious and warm person. Although Scarlet was already in her fifties, she still looked charmingly attractive and she was quite a stunner.

At that moment, Angela realized that Richard had inherited his good looks from his mother and there was, in fact, a strong resemblance there!

“Angela, forgive me for conducting some investigations on you. That’s why I have an understanding of your personality. I’ve something important to ask you for help with, though.”

Angela nodded earnestly. “Sure, Ms. Husson.”

“I’m sure that you must know by now that Richard’s father passed away when he was a young child. His father had been brutally slain on a mission. Because of that, Richard had harbored hatred in his mind all this while.”

Angela’s expression stiffened suddenly and she recalled that Richard had mentioned to her that he had an important matter that he had to deal with soon. Could that possibly be related to his father?

She didn’t direct her question at Scarlet but continued to listen to Scarlet speak with a tensed feeling.

“Right now, the person who brutally murdered his father has kidnapped an important member in our research team. His uncle and I have tried our best to stop him from joining the mission but he insists on going.

All of us are aware that he is going after the man with an intention to exact revenge. This renders the mission to be of a totally different nature than his previous missions. He would quite possibly lose his cool and go all in to kill that man.”

Angela’s mind went blank upon hearing all that. She couldn’t contain the worry and fear in her mind. No! I don’t want to lose him! I don’t want to lose him at all in my life.

“I don’t want to lose him. She couldn’t help saying that with a sobbing note and glanced at Scarlet firmly. “I love him and I want to be with him forever and ever.””

Meanwhile, Scarlet looked at Angela with a touched expression and then reached out to grab Angela’s hand. Following that, Scarlet removed a white jadeite bangle from her wrist and placed it into Angela’s hand. “I’ve acknowledged you as my daughter-in-law, Angela. We have to figure out a way to convince him that he has to come back safely.

We can allow him to join the mission because he would be guilt-ridden for the rest of his life if he misses this opportunity. It’s just that we have to make sure he has the will to stay alive and come back in one piece. We’ve got to make sure that he keeps a cool head as he pursues that man intently.”
