Chapter 1024

Richard grabbed the opportunity and took Angela’s hand to pull her outside for a breather.

At the same time, they bumped into Annie and Elton about to go out for a drive too.

“Angela, Richard, we’re leaving now.See you around."

Annie greeted them quite naturally.

At that moment, Angela blushed but she didn’t refute Annie’s words.

Angela merely watched on as their car drove off.

Angela found out something interesting that night.She could tell from the way Annie looked at Elton that

Annie was fond of Elton.

I hope Annie finds happiness too.

Richard held her hands and strolled around the garden before taking a seat on a bench.

There was a slight whiff of alcohol on him and Angela snuggled close to him as she asked, “Do you

have any missions lately?If you don’t, then let’s get married!”

Richard lowered his head to look at her, “Do you really need to do that in such a hurry?”

Angela turned to him and lifted her pretty eyes, “Don’t you want to marry me as soon as possible?”

“Of course I do," he replied without any hesitation.

In response, she revealed a contented smile.

“Since you do, you should hurry up.”

Richard’s eyes flickered slightly and he spoke in a hoarse voice, “Angela, could you give me some

more time?I need to get something done first.

“What is it?How long would you need to get it done?"

Angela blinked and she suddenly felt slightly uneasy.

“I can’t divulge the details to you, but I have to do it."

There was a firm look in Richard’s eyes and it seemed to be a very important matter to him.

“Would this matter put your life in danger?"

Angela sat up straight and she fixed her pretty eyes on him as she tried to catch every expression that

flashed across his face.

However, Richard had a relaxed front and he revealed a slight smile.

“It’s not dangerous, but it is just going to take some time.”

Angela cupped his face and she pouted her red lips.

“Don’t lie to me, alright Suddenly, there was a flash of waver in his eyes because he was lying to

her.Instantly, he leaned forward and kissed her with the intention to mask his panic by kissing her

passionately.At that moment, Angela’s senses were heightened.We’re currently at Grandpa’s house!

He doesn’t even bother to take note of the occasion and behave appropriately!However, the more

Angela panicked and felt her senses heightened, the kiss felt all the more stimulating to her.

Fortunately, everyone else was in the dining room, so no one noticed the couple was sharing a

passionate moment on the bench in the corner of the garden.

Richard’s kiss felt exceptionally passionate than ever to her tonight.

Perhaps, it was because he had consumed some alcohol earlier on.

At around 10.00PM, Richard finally sobered up.He had to send Phillip home because Phillip was too

drunk to go home by himself.

“Drive safely."

Angela and her family sent them off.

As for Gilbert, he was also too drunk to drive home.

So, Angela became the driver of the night and sent her parents home.

In the car, she heard Daphne complain, “Why did you drink so much?”

“Because I feel happy." Gilbert chuckled happily.

“What’s there to be happy about?!”

“Our daughter has found such a great match and our future son-in-law is so impressive.Of course, I’m

happy!”

At that moment, Angela-who is currently driving-couldn’t contain her laughter.

Meanwhile, Daphne couldn’t contain her exasperated laughter too.

“You should take a look at your silly self!”

That night, Angela texted Richard to express concern about Phillip’s condition.

Phillip was a good drinker so he just needed a good night’s sleep and he would be fine the next day.

The next morning, which was a Friday, she had an appointment to pick out a gown in preparation for

the banquet that night.
