Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 986

Angela’s pupils shrank slightly. It was Annie.

When Angela opened the car door, Annie trotted over and took her hand excitedly. “You’re back at last, Angela. You scared me to death.” She had her care for Angela written all over her face.

Inwardly, Angela was overcome with shame and self-reproach. Seeing how naive and kind-hearted Annie was, she felt she had made a huge mistake.

She was glad that she had learned of Annie’s engagement to Richard in advance. Otherwise, how hurt Annie would be if she were to talk about him when she came back and tell the former about what had happened at the base? “Annie, thank you for caring about me,” she thanked with a sigh.

“It’s lucky that all the dangers are gone. From now on, we can go shopping and chat over coffee again with peace of mind,” Annie said happily.

Just then, Daphne said, “Angela, hurry and take a shower. Then we’ll take a look at the presents that I’ve prepared for you.”

Angela knew without thinking that Daphne must’ve bought a lot of designer clothes and handbags for her. However, she was no longer interested in these things now.

“Mom, don’t waste money for me anymore, Angela said to Daphne.

Daphne was stunned. Why does my daughter look depressed after I haven’t seen her for a few months? She is much more mature than before; even her smile betrays a hint of weariness.

I’ve doted on her since she was little, so I know her personality better than anyone else does. She threw a hissy fit and was at odds with me over Dexter when she came back from overseas last time. Why is she like a totally different person now?

“Let’s go, Angela! Let’s take a look together. Annie dragged Angela into the living room with a smile.

They took the elevator to Angela’s master bedroom on the fourth floor, where the couch was covered with presents, as well as clothes and handbags from luxury brands. Annie picked up a necklace, saying, ‘Here is my present for you. It’s not expensive, but you mustn’t frown upon it.”
