Love and Devotion No Longer His to Claim (Angela and Dexter) novel Chapter 74

Chapter 74 

Angela was taken aback. She hadn’t realized that a doctor could pick up on her emotions just by checking her pulse. 

She couldn’t help but wonder if Kenneth was trying to hint at something. 

She cleared her throat softly and took a quick glance at Fiona. Then, she lowered her head and remained silent. 

Kenneth seemed to catch on. 

He quickly said, “Don’t worry, Angie. There’s no need to hold back with me. Besides, this is about something that could directly impact your ability to have children–we need to address the problem, no matter how small it is. Understand?” 

“That’s right. Tell us what’s wrong, Angie.” As if she realized something, Fiona frowned slightly. 

Angela lifted her head, her eyes filling with tears. 

“Mom, I didn’t want to say this at first… but for the sake of having a child with Dexter, could you please stop criticizing me and threatening divorce? As for the matter of not being good enough for him… I understand. After all, there’s no one worthy enough of him in your 

eyes… 

Tears continued to gather in her eyes as she spoke. The atmosphere in the room grew 

tense. 

She then turned to Dexter and said, “Dexter, even though I’m not the woman you love, at the end of the day, we’re still a married couple. Does our three years of marriage not mean anything to you? 

“If you have any respect for our marriage, could you please just end things with her? Otherwise, I think it’s best if we just go our separate ways. 

She dabbed her eyes with a tissue, making it look as if she was having a complete 

breakdown. 

She couldn’t help but feel proud of her acting skills. 

A brief moment later, Kenneth called Fiona aside for a private conversation. 

Though they were behind a door down the hall, Angela could already guess what they were discussing. 

She couldn’t help but feel a little bolder now. 

Kenneth was a close friend of Joseph. Over the years, he had also developed a familiar bond with Fiona. This allowed him to give her advice without hesitation.

“Angela, I didn’t know you were so good at acting. Maybe you should consider doing it professionally,” Dexter said sarcastically. 

Angela yawned. She casually popped a grape into her mouth and savored the sweet flavor. 

“I’m sure you’re equally as talented; you’re good at almost everything, Mr. Bamford,” she teased, a smirk tugging at her lips. 

Hearing her words, Dexter couldn’t help but feel irritated. His expression darkened. 

He was starting to realize he was losing control over her. Ever since the divorce papers were finalized, she had become akin to an untamed horse. 

“Angie, could you come here please?” Fiona suddenly called from the door. 

Kenneth, on the other hand, returned to the living room and took a seat beside Dexter. The expressión on his face had turned cold. 

When Angela entered the room, Fiona shut the door behind her, leaving the two of them alone in the room. 

“I have to admit that I did look down on you before. It was because you were completely hopeless–you stuck around Dexter and kept getting involved with Cecilia and Ursula. 

“But recently, I’ve noticed your improvements. From now on, I won’t be so hard on you…” Fiona’s voice had a cold edge, and she seemed a little uncomfortable. However, there was an unexpected softness in her words. 

Angela was a bit stunned. Nevertheless, she realized that things were starting to change subtly. 

Just the fact that Fiona encouraged her to get out and do something on her own was enough to make Angela start to see her differently. 

Before she could react, Fiona glared at her again. “I heard you found a job at DawnStar Design. It makes sense now why Dexter has been so opposed to you.”
