A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) novel Chapter 1640

“Back when you were in kindergarten, you would always come to me whenever you were bullied. But before I knew it, the crybaby you used to be was all grown up. In its place, was a lady as beautiful as our mom. If Mom were still around, she would definitely be very happy to see how beautiful you are.”

Within the quiet room, Michael's gentle words filled its space alongside a gentle breeze that blew in from the window.

As Michael continued speaking, he realized that he had never said so much to his sister in his entire life.

Listening to his words caused Angie's eyes to redden and tears to gradually flow out of them.

Upon seeing her tears, Michael wiped them away gently and smiled, “Silly gal, what are you crying for? Today is supposed to be a happy occasion. Stop crying or it will ruin your makeup.”

Angie continued to sit silently as her brother helped her with her hair.

At that moment, someone came in to inform Michael, “Mr. Jones, the Chu family convoy has arrived and Mr.

Chu is already waiting at the door.”

Michael nodded. “Mmm-hmm, I understand. Tell Mr. Chu that we're almost ready.”

After sending the servant away, Michael quickly finished up Angie's hair.

“Angie, what do you think of my handiwork? Does it look good? After all, I have always helped you with your ponytail since we were kids, so I'm pretty good at it now,” Michael praised himself while bursting into laughter.

Nodding, Angie grunted in acknowledgment.

“Come, Angie, I'll lead you out.”

Once everything was ready, Michael held Angle's hand as they began to walk out.

However, just when they were about to leave the room, Michael suddenly stopped in his tracks.

As a shadow fell across his face, no one was able to see the expression on his face clearly.

Angie became curious, for she didn't know why her brother had stopped.

After a short silence, Michael murmured with a strange expression, “Angie, to be honest, I'm not an ambitious person. Compared to restoring the former glory of the family, I'll rather you and dad just be hap py.”

Caught by surprise, Angie felt a flurry of emotions within her.

Even though she didn't understand why Michael said those words out of nowhere, she could clearly sense the care and concern he felt toward her.

At that moment, Angie suddenly gained a deeper insight into her father and brother.

Consequently, the fury she felt toward them dampened significantly.

At that moment, she briefly considered staying behind and helping her father restore the past glory of the family.

Unfortunately, it was just not possible now.

There was no way she could accept becoming the wife of someone she didn't love.

“Michael, goodbye,” Angie muttered under her breath,teary-eyed.

She was cognizant that it might be the last time both of them saw each other.

If the plan succeeded, they would naturally never see each other again.

If the plan failed, she would commit suicide the night of her wedding, for she had decided to use her own death to protest against the marriage alliance.

The first half of her life had been terribly tragic. She was locked up by her family at home and had passed her days in loneliness.

Thus, she didn't want to live out the rest of her life in pain and torment.

Not only did she want to have her freedom but also to live her life the way she saw fit.
