“Hello! Annie has told me a lot about you."
Angela looked at Elton and realized he and Annie were a match made in heaven! Meanwhile, Annie’s parents arrived in another car.
Elton’s handsome face became nervous as they exited the car.
“Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Meyers," he politely greeted them.
Jennifer turned to face the unfamiliar young man with a smile.Is he really Annie’s longtime crush?
At first glance, he appears modest and polite.
Ooh, and he is dressed nicely as if he comes from a wealthy family! Her heart was full at that moment.
“Hello, Elton! We’re delighted to have you here."
A clearly satisfied Jennifer informed her husband, “Bring Elton in! I’ll talk to Angela.”
Angela’s heartstrings tightened as her aunt requested a private conversation with her.
Oh God…
“We’ll head in first, Angela."
Having said that, Annie turned shy as she boldly grabbed Elton’s arm and went in.
In the garden, Jennifer and Angela had found themselves alone.
Jennifer heaved a sigh before speaking, “Annie has already told me about you and Richard.As for their previous engagement, I hope that you don’t mind too much of it.All they did was have an ordinary meal and that’s about it.So, I sincerely hope that you can get along well with Richard.”
Angela was rendered speechless by Jennifer’s words.She was prepared to embrace her aunt’s questioning, but she had no idea that her aunt would comfort and reassure her instead.It was the last thing she had expected.
“I’m not bothered at all, Aunt Jennifer.I’m grateful to Annie for introducing him to me.”
“You appear to like Richard a lot.That’s fantastic.Your grandfather has always desired to merge with the Lloyds someday through a blessed marriage.It’s perfect now! Richard is a wonderful child, so please seize this wonderful opportunity.Have you seen the boyAnnie brought with her?He’s one of her classmates and I think he looks great with his height and all.The most important criteria is that he is the one Annie prefers," Jennifer said.
“You’re right, Aunt Jennifer.The most important thing is Annie’s happiness." Angela nodded.
“All right, let’s go in!"
