Love and Devotion No Longer His to Claim (Angela and Dexter) novel Chapter 411

Angela was annoyed to see Dexter again. "What are you doing here?"

She didn't even want to look at him, let alone deal with him. All she wanted was to get away from him, as far away as possible.

"Dexter, what brings you here? Looking for something? Would you like to buy a couple of necklaces? I've got some really nice bracelets too." Zack seized the chance to make a sale.

Dexter turned to Angela. "Let's head back and eat—"

"You can go back by yourself. It's still early. I have things to do." Angela cut him off sharply, her voice laced with impatience.

She refused to be controlled like this all the time. She wasn't someone who needed to be told what to do.

"Angela, who's this?" Daniel asked casually. His voice was clear, and his smile was warm and charming.

Angela was just about to reply when Dexter asked, "Who's this?"

"What does it have to do with you? It's none of your business." Angela snapped, finally reaching her limit.

Their eyes met, and for a brief moment, she clearly saw the shock in Dexter's gaze. It was as if he hadn't anticipated her losing her temper at this moment.

Zack was equally stunned. He looked at them, unsure of what to do.

Angela felt off. Something wasn't right with her.

After a brief silence, she muttered, "I'm sorry. I'm just feeling a little on edge. I'll stay here for a bit. You should head back first."

Dexter turned and walked away, his steps slow and heavy as if he were weighed down by something. Watching him go, Angela felt an unexpected pang of heartache.

It was their first official day as a couple, and she'd already hurt him. She felt suffocated by his closeness.

"Angie, I've never seen him like that before. You're seriously bold." Zack praised.

Angela remained silent.
