Night of Destiny
Angela bit her lips and pleaded, âMom, can you leave the questions later? Iâll introduce him to you
when the time is right.â

âAngela, once is enough. I must know everything about that man. You cannot hide anything from me,â
claimed Daphne as she sat on the couch with a grim face.
âMom⦠Heâs-â âWhere is he from?â
âHe lives in the same city,â Angela answered hastily. âWhat does his family do?â
âHis family is richer than us.â She was feeling guilty.
Daphne was stunned at that.
âReally? Tell me. Which family is he from? How old is he? And what is his name?â
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 manâs family history too. Itâs Angelaâs
future. I mustnât be sloppy and careless about it.
However, Angela merely stared at her mother in silence.
âFine, youâre not saying anything, are you? I took a photo of his number plate and Iâm going to call your
father to look into it. With his capability, I donât believe that he wonât be able to find out who that guy is,â
said Daphne while reaching out her hands to look for her phone.
âMom, donât! Iâll tell you.â Angela stopped her immediately.
âSo, what is his name and what does he do for a living?â questioned Daphne forcefully.
Angela took a deep breath and lowered her head. With eyes closed, she revealed the name in a loud
voice. âRichard Lloyd. Heâs Richard Lloyd.â
Thud!
The phone in Daphneâs 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 daughterâs 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 daughterâs guilty
and slightly flustered eyes, she let out a sigh while clearly agitated.
Angela rushed over to her mother and held her arm. âGo ahead and lash out on me all you want! Just
promise me that you wonât get worked up and hurt. yourself, okay?â
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, âTell me all about it. When did it all start?â
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 Annieâs 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
Richardâs 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.
âWhat 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 canât believe heâll be my son
in-law instead!â Daphne expressed her concern.
âPffi!â Angela burst into laughter. In exchange, Daphne shot her a glare and sneered, âOh, youâre
laughing, huh? How about you suggest ways for the elders to get out of this awkward situation?â
