Chapter 1023
Night of Destiny
âOld Master Lloyd, let me help you." Angela came over to assist him.
âNo, itâs fine.You guys can talk.Iâll head in by myself."
Phillip motioned with his hand.He walked steadily despite his age and Meyers Residence was a place
he frequented, so he would not get lost for sure.
After seeing the old man enter the house, Angela resentfully looked at Richard and complained, âWhy
didnât you give me a heads up before coming?â
âWe only received a call from your grandfather about an hour ago.I wanted to surprise you."
Richard smiled as he opened up his large windbreaker to wrap her in his arms, seeing that the cold
wind was a little too strong.
âLetâs go! We donât wanna catch a cold from the wind.â
Angela wrapped her hand around his strong waist and sank into his embrace.Her heart was pounding
as she smelled his strong masculine scent, igniting a certain feeling within her.
When will we be able to progress to the next stage? she pondered.
Since she had decided to spend the rest of her life with him anyway, Angela thought it would be
reasonable to fight for more time with him by progressing to the next stage of their relationship sooner.
He came so late into my life, I guess Iâm not selfish for wanting to cherish my time with him, right?
She reluctantly drew her hand away before walking into the living room with Richard.
The two old men were already happily engrossed in conversation.
As soon as Phillip arrived, Gilbert and Gabriel lowered their voices and the respectful look in their eyes
was clearly evident.
That was because the Meyers Family had received help from Phillip in many different aspects and
Gilbert had even worked under Phillip for a period of time too.
The Lloydsâ family background was impressive.
There was no other family in this country that was able to compete with the Lloyds.
âRichard, come over here and take a seat." Gilbert gestured to Richard.
Hearing that, Richard quickly walked over and took a seat.
Despite his identity in the outside world, he was just the younger generation in todayâs event after all.
Angela and Annie sat together as they whispered to each other.
Now that Annie met Richard once again, the infatuation she had for him before had now turned into a
different kind of admiration.
Besides, she also realized that Angela and Richard made a perfect match as they stood next to each
other.
After a round of introductions, everyone then went off to the dining room.
The meal served tonight was sumptuous and Angela sat next to her mother as she looked at the men
toast each other.
Joshua was exceptionally happy today and he had taken all of his well-stored precious wine out of his
cellar and placed them all on the table.
Richard didnât seem to be avoiding alcohol that night and there was also a glass of wine in front of him
and Elton.
At that moment, Angela thought to herself, Howâs his tolerance for alcohol?Iâve never seen him drink
this much.
Richardâs face unexpectedly flushed red upon the slightest bit of alcohol.
After just two glasses of wine, his handsome face was already glimmering quite red unnaturally.
Under the light, he was red all over, even on his temples and in between his brows.
Angela couldnât help but feel her heart race as she looked at him.
His tipsy face looked somehow quite charming to her.
Meanwhile, Annie was aware of Eltonâs alcohol tolerance level, so she started to get slightly worried.
Halfway through the dinner, the men continued to enjoy their drinks while the younger generation left
the room first.
Phillipâs only habit after retirement was to enjoy the occasional drink.
So, right now, he didnât really have too much to drink but was busy engrossing in conversation.He
continued to boast about his past with Joshua.
