Chapter 995
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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAngela 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
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAnnie 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.”
