They Called Me Heartless So Reborn I Watched Them Self Destruct novel Chapter 184

Chapter 184: 184- She’s Not Worth It

Third-Person POV:

Chris pulled up outside the packhouse just as Angela was telling him about the final alterations she’d requested for her wedding dress. “And the designer says she can have everything ready by Thursday,” she finished, gathering the shopping bags from the back seat.

Chris got out and came around to help her. “Thursday? That’s cutting it close, isn’t it?”

“Well, someone agreed to marry me on such short notice.” She said with a shrug.

He laughed. “You’re blaming me now?”

“Who else should I blame?” Chris took the bags from her, but instead of letting her walk away, he caught her around the waist and pulled her against him.

“Chris!” Angela protested, laughing as she glanced toward the packhouse entrance. “Someone might see us!”

“Let them.” Before she could argue, he kissed her.

Angela forgot all about the people who might be watching. She wrapped her arms around his neck and returned his kiss until Chris finally pulled away. “I have to report to the training grounds,” he told her. “I’ll see you at dinner?”

“You’d better.” He kissed her forehead and handed back her shopping bags before heading toward his car.

Angela watched him drive away before turning toward the packhouse, smiling to herself. She’d barely reached the entrance when she noticed Rick standing beside one of the pillars.

Her smile faded a little. “Rick? What are you doing here?”

He was dressed in his usual training clothes, but something about his expression made her stop. Normally, he would have greeted her with a joke or complained about how long she’d kept him waiting.

Today, he didn’t even smile. “Can we talk?” he asked politely.

“Of course.” Angela adjusted the bags in her hands. “Come inside.” She started toward the door, expecting him to follow.

“When did you get here, anyway?”

“This morning.” He said quietly. Angela glanced over her shoulder.

“This morning?”

Rick nodded. “Someone told me you’d gone shopping, so I decided to wait.”

“You’ve been standing here all this time?”

He shrugged in response. “I wanted to see you.”

Angela found that a little strange. She led him into one of the drawing rooms and placed her shopping bags on a nearby table. “Now, what’s so urgent that you couldn’t wait until tomorrow?”

She’d barely closed the door when Rick approached her and took both her hands. “Angela, please. Don’t do this.”

She frowned, trying to get over her shock. “Don’t do what?”

“Don’t marry Chris.” For a moment, she thought she’d misheard him.
