Taken aback, Angela took the invitation card from Daphne’s hand.She then ripped open the girdle, revealing a handwritten note inside an enveloped card.
“Dear Miss Meyers, The Golden Peony Charity Dinner cordially invites you to join us for our annual dinner celebration.We eagerly await your arrival and thank you for taking the time to meet with us.” The simple invitation was signed by a person named Scarlet Husson.
“Mom, this is the name of Richard’s mother.” Angela gasped with one hand covering her mouth.
Daphne noticed it as well and could not help but ask, “Have you met his mother?”
“I’ve never seen her,” Angela replied while shaking her head.
“That’s probably because she knows you’re Richard’s girlfriend and specifically invited you to this dinner.”
Has Richard told his mother about me? Why else am I invited?
Daphne looked intently at her daughter as a sense of worry surged within her.She hoped that Angela’s future mother-in-law would adore her and generously accept her into the Lloyd Family.
“Angela, show your best self at this dinner party.It’s possible that this is a test from your future mother-in-law.”
To that, Angela could not help but clench her fists and nod, “I know, Mom.”
She then dialed Richard’s phone number as she left the reception area.
“Hello,”
“Did you bring up our relationship with your mother?” she inquired, clearly intrigued.
“What’s the matter?”
“I just received a dinner invitation from your mother and I’m perplexed.”
“My mother appears to be very eager to meet her future daughter-in-law.” Richard, on the other end of the phone, was clearly unsurprised because he had told his mother at the base that he would bring his girlfriend home.
