Angela was lost for words for a moment. Seems like Annie assumes that Richard and I didn‘t meet often. But who would know that we‘d lived together day and night for two months? “I…” She sat down.
However, as soon as she uttered the first syllable, Annie held her hand and asked again, “How is he? Is he easy to get along with? Is he a serious man? He knows that we‘re cousins, right? Did he take good care of you?”
Angela‘s heart suddenly clenched. Seeing the curious look in Annie‘s eyes, she found herself at a loss for words for a moment.
Just then, Annie‘s cell phone rang; she picked it up and looked at its screen. “It‘s Grandpa. He‘s probably calling me to urge us to go out for dinner,” she said before stepping aside to answer the phone. “Hey, Grandpa! We‘re coming,” she said. Then, she hung up and said to Angela, “Angela, go put on a coat. It‘s time for us to go out for dinner. Everybody wants to see you.”
Angela nodded before standing up to get her coat. However, after entering the closet, she leaned against the wall wearily and let out a sigh. In the end, she grabbed an overcoat and went out with Annie.
Daphne and Gilbert had been waiting for her. When she came out, Daphne came over and looked at her. She said in surprise, “Why are you dressed so simply? You‘re not wearing makeup, nor are you wearing earrings or a necklace.”
Angela shook her head with a smile. “It‘s okay, Mom. We‘re just going for dinner with our family.”
Daphne had no choice but to drop the matter. Just then, the female helper who had gone to collect the laundry came over and said, “Miss Angela, this fell out of your clothes.” She was holding a pink raw crystal in her hand.
Angela‘s heart twinged. As she took the crystal, Annie leaned over curiously to look at it, asking, “What is this, Angela? Is this a crystal?”
“Yeah. I got it in the mountains.” Angela put the crystal into her handbag.
“It looks quite beautiful. Do you want to make the crystal into a pendant or a bracelet?” Daphne asked with a smile.
