Second Marriage to Mr. Rich (Ned Fletcher) novel Chapter 44

Chapter 44

Around 7:30 pm, the other students said they wanted to celebrate Angeline’s arrival. So they brought her over to a restaurant opposite the university to have dinner.

“Professor said tonight’s dinner to celebrate our new teammate is on him!” Reese declared, handing menus to

everyone.

“Wow! How happy is the old man to have Angeline onboard? He’s being so generous tonight!” Reese’s girlfriend, Marion West, handed Angeline a menu. “Hurry up and take advantage of it, Angeline! The professor is usually really frugal!”

“Get some non-spicy meats as well. Angeline can’t eat spicy food!” Alva told Marion, who was ordering.

The barbecue restaurant was packed with noise and chatter. Smoke from sizzling meats filled the place as the waiters rushed back and forth between the tables. All of them greeted and thanked the customers as they

entered and left the restaurant.

Angeline’s seniors kept telling her stories about James’ adventures finding talented people to join their team. Laughter continuously rang out from their table.

Angeline slowly felt comfortable being in such a friendly environment.

At 8:00 pm sharp, The Family Search’s latest episode was broadcast on all streaming platforms, including the TV in the restaurant. The online viewership kept on increasing.

Angeline’s seniors turned around to watch the program as well.

As Anne confronted the Emmerson family about whether they dared reveal that Benjamin’s mother was abducted in the first place, gasps rang out from the restaurant.

“My goodness! His mother was abducted!” Alva exclaimed.

Marion’s brows knitted together. “If she was abducted, it’s only natural that she ran away! How could that old woman insist that the mother ran away because she thought their family was too poor? How is being abducted and thinking they’re too poor the same thing?”

Even Reese couldn’t help but grumble, “Why go on the program if he knew his mother was abducted in the first

place?”
