Chapter 1003
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
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtalighted 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.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDaphne 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 lo 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.
