Rebirth Reclaiming Her Self (Angela and Joseph) novel Chapter 481

Chapter 481 Stars in Your Eyes 

Tiny matters often carry unexpected weight, especially in the intricate dance of the Tuckson Family’s affairs. Their impulse to aid James only tangled their web further, a knot Florence found herself unraveling. 

“Miss Shelton, what should we do?” queried one of her subordinates. 

Florence’s eyes rolled heavenward before she replied, “Get someone to welcome them.” 

This simple directive meant deploying a representative to the police station, beseeching for James‘ release on behalf of the Shelton Family. But just as Florence prepared to retreat into contemplation, a nagging thought arrested her. 

“Wait!” she called after her departing assistant. “Who gave James my number?” 

A disquiet settled upon her as she pondered how James could have accessed her contact details without consent. “It must have been Fanny who disclosed it.” 

“Fanny, hmm?” Florence mused, her amusement fading into suspicion. “Go and contact her. Wait. Contact James first.” 

Intentions to prank Fanny morphed at the eleventh hour, redirected by thoughts of her complicity in tricking Christopher into coming to Northland. If sibling love bound them, their actions should mirror, or so Florence reasoned. 

Meanwhile, Angela, having just finished her training, found Yoanna

and Mobius waiting. Curiosity piqued, she inquired, “What brings you here?” 

“We’ve come to see you and Yaxley off. Aren’t you both departing for the outskirts of WindMill City for the official test tomorrow?” Mobius explained. 

Angela affirmed, “Yes, but I’ll leave early tomorrow morning.” 

Departure deferred from tradition, Jonathan’s scheduling wisdom guiding her steps. She would instead to the outskirts of WindMill City the next morning for the exam. 

“We wish you luck on your exam. How about we have a meal together and invite Phoebe?” Mobius proposed, eyes darting to Yaxley. 

Yaxley, absent from the prior exam’s eve, promptly assented to the dinner invitation. 

Angela hesitated, glancing toward Jonathan. “Jonathan should be waiting for me outside. Would you mind if I bring him along?” 

Their unanimous consent prompted Angela’s swift arrangement. As she exited, Jonathan awaited, eliciting a rush of warmth as she nestled into his embrace, 

“Why so bold today?” Jonathan teased gently. 

Angela confessed, “I said yes to dinner on your behalf. So, I’m informing you in advance.” 

Her decisions rarely sidestepped Jonathan’s perspective, yet a subtle. restlessness stirred within. Beneath her smile, anticipation flickered, reflected in her radiant eyes.

Jonathan, acknowledging her consideration, praised, “Mrs. Lawson, you’re truly thoughtful. Well done.” 

Flushed, Angela invited him to join their dinner, relishing his nod of acceptance. “However, I want to meet the people who caused me not to have you alone as compensation,” Jonathan asserted, fixing his gaze on her. 

Embracing his directive, Angela approached their waiting 

companions. Together, they opted for Yoanna’s private club, seeking seclusion amid familiar faces. 

As they journeyed, Angela recounted her day, her enthusiasm igniting Jonathan’s admiration. Lost in her storytelling, she failed to discern his focused gaze until prompted. 

“What’s up with the stare?” she inquired, cheeks aflame. 

“Admiring the stars,” Jonathan confessed, drawing closer. 

Confused, Angela searched the sky for stars unseen. “Where are they?” 

“In your eyes,” he murmured, his breath brushing her skin. 

Giddy and nervous, Angela’s heart raced as Jonathan’s lips met hers, igniting a blaze of warmth. Released from his embrace, she savored the lingering connection. 

“Is this my compensation?” Jonathan queried softly, his touch a balm to her racing heart. 

“The word ‘like‘ is an understatement,” Angela confessed, ensnared in their intimate bubble.
