Ang’s pupils shrank slightly. It was Annie.
When Ang opened the car door, Annie trotted over and took her hand excitedly. “You''re back atst, Ang. You scared me to
death.” She had her care for Ang written all over her face.
Inwardly, Ang was ovee with shame and self-reproach. Seeing how naive and kind-hearted Annie was, she felt she had
made a huge mistake.
She was d that she had learned of Annie’s engagement to Richard in advance. Otherwise, how hurt Annie would be if she
were to talk about him when she came back and tell the former about what had happened at the base? “Annie, thank you for
caring about me,” she thanked with a sigh.
“It''s lucky that all the dangers are gone. From now on, we can go shopping and chat over coffee again with peace of mind,”
Annie said happily.
Just then, Daphne said, “Ang, hurry and take a shower. Then we''ll take a look at the presents that I''ve prepared for you.”
Ang knew without thinking that Daphne must''ve bought a lot of designer clothes and handbags for her. However, she was no
longer interested in these things now.
“Mom, don’t waste money for me anymore, Ang said to Daphne.
Daphne was stunned. Why does my daughter look depressed after | haven’t seen her for a few months? She is much more
mature than before; even her smile betrays a hint of weariness.
I''ve doted on her since she was little, so | know her personality better than anyone else does. She threw a hissy fit and was at
odds with me over Dexter when she came back from overseasst time. Why is she like a totally different person now?
“Let''s go, Ang! Let''s take a look together. Annie dragged Ang into the living room with a smile.
They took the elevator to Ang’s master bedroom on the fourth floor, where the couch was covered with presents, as well as
clothes and handbags from luxury brands. Annie picked up a ne, saying, ‘Here is my present for you. It’s not expensive,
but you mustn’t frown upon it.”
“Why would I? I’m happy that you coulde and visit me,’ Ang replied while looking at Annie with an apologetic look in her
eyes.
Annie then picked up a handbag and introduced it happily, saying, “Look, Ang. This is thetest item that your mom bought for
you. This handbag is worth more than 3 million!”
However, Ang was looking at her instead of the handbag.
Annie was sharp enough to sense it. She blinked her eyes, asking, “Ang, why do you keep looking at me for no reason?”
Ang lowered her head in panic to conceal the look of guilt in her eyes. “Nothing. Let''s chat again after | take a shower.”
“Just go. I''ll be here waiting for you.” Annie smiled with a nod. She urged Ang, saying, “Hurry and wash yourself. There’s a
snag in your clothes.”
Ang entered her bathroom before sitting in the bathtub in a daze. Her life was back, but her heart felt empty, as if there was
no happiness for her anymore. She dared not recall those wonderful memories. They’re all sins; | can’t even think about them.
She took a shower. After blowing her hair dry, she wrapped herself in a bath towel and entered the closet, which was 100 square
meters in size and was full of the designer clothes that Daphne had bought for her.
She opened the wardrobe and took a set of clothes out of it. It was a simple white sweater, matched with a pair of casual
trousers. However, the diamond belt around her waist made her appear noble for no apparent reason.
When Annie saw Ang, she couldn''t help but look at her enviously while propping her chin in her hand. “You''re so beautiful,
Ang. | often feel stressed out in front of you!”
Ang looked at Annie''s face, which was pretty, tender, and youthful. She’s a lovely youngdy that people would like at first
nce. Richard really shouldn''t call off his engagement to her.
“Ang, | have a big secret to share with you. Why don’t you guess what it is?” Annie asked her with a smile while tilting her
head to one side.
