Chapter 856
Night of Destiny
At this moment, Annie saw a trace of blood on his clothes with her sharp eyes. She hurriedly brought a
wet tissue over and whispered, âRichard, you have blood over here. Let me wipe it off for you!â
Richard looked down and reached out to take the wet tissue from her hands. âIâll do it myself!â
She gazed at him with distressed and worried eyes, and thought to herself. How dangerous is his job?
Even his clothes are stained with blood!It shouldnât be his, right?
At this moment, a message that Annie sent was returned to her, which left her puzzled. What was
going on?
Was Angelaâs phone turned off? It shouldnât be! It should be because she had no connection at the
place where she was right now and so, failed to receive the text!
Initially, she intended to broadcast the whole process of her blind date to her cousin!
She wanted to secretly take a picture of her blind date tonight to show Angela, but now that Angela
could not receive her messages, it made the situation less fun.
Everyone was hungry when the food was served. They talked about their childrenâs childhood stories
while eating. Besides, they also didnât want to put any pressure on the two young people, so they
avoided the topic of engagement for now.
Halfway through the meal, they still had to address the main topic of discussion. Phillip raised his glass
and said, âLetâs have a toast to our families becoming one! May the marriage be held successfully.â
Richard stopped chewing, took a sip of water, and looked at his grandfather. âGrandpa, I have
something to say.â
Phillip knew what he was going to say, so his eyes suddenly turned serious.
âRichard, letâs talk about it at home.â
Obviously, he did not want his grandson to reject the marriage on the spot, which was disrespectful to
the Meyers Family.
In addition to the gaze from the Meyers Family, which was all filled with love and expectation, his
grandfather was also shooting him an oppressive look, so he decided to swallow his words.
âCome on, letâs toast to our two children. After this toast, it means that the marriage will be planned. We
shall later decide a good day to hold the wedding,â Phillip chuckled, but he meant every word he said.
âIf Richard is busy, we can keep everything simple,â Joshua offered understandingly.
âNo way. We should hold a grand wedding when Ann marries into our family.â Phillip did not intend to
treat his daughter-in-law badly.
Hearing that, Richard could not help but feel depressed. He glanced at the time because he had a
meeting at half past eight, so he should rush back now.
âGrandpa, I have an important meeting to hold. Iâll have to take a leave now,â Richard excused himself
while standing up.
âDo you have to leave right now?â Phillip did not wish for him to leave.
At the same time, Annieâs eyes were also filled with reluctance. Were they going to separate when they
just got to know each other? She intended to know more about him tonight!
âI canât be late because it is a pertinent meeting.â After Richard finished speaking, he looked at the
Meyers Family apologetically. âIâm sorry, Old Master Meyers, Mr. and Mrs. Meyers, and Annie. I have to
excuse myself now.â
With that said, Richard rose to his feet.
