Divorce Clock Ticking (Kenneth and Angela) novel Chapter 56

Henry's eyes blazed with anger. Even though Angela's words had irked him earlier, he didn't mean to tick Angela off this much.

Debra shot him a cold look, disappointment etched across her face. "Hen, I thought we'd be happy this time around, but since we got back together, you keep making me feel like I'm getting a raw deal. I need to rethink our relationship."

Watching her walk away, Henry hesitated for a moment but chose not to chase after her.

"Are you satisfied now, Ms. Lewis?" Henry asked.

Angela met Henry's frosty stare with an indifferent expression and retorted, "What's it got to do with me? You're the ones starting all this."

'If he and Debra hadn't come here, things wouldn't have blown up like this,' she thought.

However, being a woman, Angela understood that Debra's actions were just a ploy to get Henry to come and comfort her. It wasn't a genuine desire to break up.

After saying her piece, Angela walked straight into the Empyria Group.

Over the next two weeks, Kenneth's injuries significantly improved, and he started working at the Sinclair Group.

When Angela felt the time was right, she got in touch with Joseph and set up a meeting at a fancy restaurant.

At eight o'clock in the evening, Angela arrived on time.

Joseph grinned upon seeing Angela.

"Hi, Angela, it's been a while."

Seated across from him, Angela grabbed the menu. "Joseph, dinner's on you tonight, right?"

Raising an eyebrow, Joseph replied, "Yeah. Order whatever you like. I can cover the bill."

Without hesitation, Angela selected several dishes she fancied. After handing the menu to the waiter, she glanced at Joseph.

"You're so nice," she said.

Joseph chuckled. "Oh, come on. If I didn't treat you tonight, you probably wouldn't cool down easily."

Angela snorted, flashing a sly smile. "You know the deal. Don't spill my secrets to Leif again, treating them like gossip. You know, I've got a few interesting tales about you to share with Leif."

Joseph shook his head helplessly. "Leif pushed me into it. You know, among us, Leif favors you the most. He must be curious about your recent life."

"Next time, if Leif asks you, tell him to come and ask me directly."

"That's a good idea."

Seeing the amusement in his eyes, Angela rolled her eyes, impatiently saying, "I plan to head back home next week. Wanna come along? Leif mentioned you haven't been back in three years."

"Sure, without you, Leif wouldn't let me go back."

Angela glanced at him. "Well, if you come back with me, and Leif gets really mad and wants to pummel me, you can help hold him back a bit."

"That serves you right," he commented.

He looked quite pleased. "Back when you helped Kenneth with his leg, Leif advised you, but you didn't listen. Now you're helping him for the second time. I bet that he will definitely punish you."

Angela was speechless.

'Could he just cut me some slack?' she wondered.

"Last time, I was indeed impulsive. But this time, his leg injury is somewhat my fault too..." she explained.

Joseph furrowed his brows. "What happened?"

Angela pressed her lips together. "Don't ask. Anyway, regardless of the reason for his leg injury this time, I must help him recover. After he's healed, we'll be even, and we can each go our separate ways."

Joseph, noticing she wasn't eager to spill the beans, didn't push and inquired, "You are taking him along when you go back?"
