Second Marriage to Mr. Rich (Ned Fletcher) novel Chapter 229

"Ms. Davis, how could you say things like that? You don't know how amazing Angeline is," Ingrid said earnestly.

Ingrid, who once emulated and followed Angeline's footsteps, knew all too well just how formidable Angeline was.

"You're always so naive. You boost others' morale at your own expense! Aren't you impressive too? You're now an international superstar!" Linda chided while tapping Ingrid's forehead lightly.

"Let's go."

Eddie noticed Angeline immediately upon her entering the studio. He was sitting in a rocking chair, sipping his tea.

"Ah, Angeline!" he exclaimed.

Eddie stood up and greeted Angeline with a smile while still wearing his work apron.

"Mr. Reynolds, how are you?" Angeline asked smilingly.

She walked over and supported Eddie by the arm.

"I'm very well, thanks to you," Eddie replied cheerfully.

"You convinced me to participate in that medical trial. My old body wouldn't have lasted this long if you hadn't."

He chuckled and pulled Angeline to take a seat.

"Come, sit down!"

Angeline explained her visit's purpose.

"I remembered you talking about your new works. So I stopped by, hoping to be lucky enough to see them. My family is having a birthday, and they love your work. I wanted to do something special for them."

She sat on a small chair and accepted the snacks Eddie offered.

"Ms. Angeline, you've come at the perfect time," Eddie's apprentice, Mark Goodman, said as he approached with a teacup.

He placed it on the small bamboo table.

"A new piece called 'Renewal' was finished this morning. Mr. Reynolds planned to gift it to you!"

"Forget about the tea for now," Eddie said excitedly.

He stood up and beckoned Angeline.
