Angela looked back at the four of them. “Willy, let me treat you guys to dinner to thank you for taking care of me over the past few days, okay?”
“Miss Meyers, the fact that you’re safe and sound is the best reward for us. We really still have something else to deal with. Goodbye,” Willy said before becoming the first to leave.
Reluctant to part with Angela, Trevor and Jared looked at her, whereas Sean said with a wave of his hand, “Goodbye.”
As Angela watched the four tall figures leave, she had a feeling that she might never see them again. Her eyes reddened, and her nose twinged as sadness welled up within her.
Noticing her reddened eyes, Daphne couldn’t help but put her arm around her in an attempt to comfort her. “Look at our daughter. She’s so reluctant to part with them, isn’t she?”
But who knew what sort of mixed feelings she was having at this very moment? She was no longer the person she had once been two months ago. Over the past two months, she had uncontrollably fallen in love with a man while trying to forget him with all her might. She looked alright on the outside, but her heart was already broken to pieces.
“Let’s go!” Gilbert said to Daphne and Angela.
Angela let go of Daphne’s hand and hurriedly ran toward the door from which Willy and the others disappeared. When she stepped out through the door,
she saw an army green SUV that had just started up and left. She followed the SUV with her gaze until it disappeared on the other end of the overpass. She pursed her lips while holding back her tears.
At this moment, it was as if these men had never appeared in her world. They weren’t ordinary people in the first place. and their job was also totally different from that of ordinary people. They were like a bunch of unknown heroes who would rush to wherever they were needed. When their mission was complete, they’d disappear without a trace.
Suddenly, it occurred to Angela that she didn’t even have the phone number of any of them. All she knew about them was their names, and all she had was the memory of her living with them.
Daphne caught up to her curiously. what are you looking at?”
“Nothing. Let’s go home.” Angela shook her head before walking toward an inconspicuously black Bentley nearby.
She sat in the car while looking out the car window at the bustling downtown area. Having stayed for two months in the mountains with no phone reception, she fell into a trance-like state upon her return to the bustling metropolis..
Just then, Daphne asked in vexation, “Did you break up with Dexter? He returned all the money I’d given to him. Well, I’d say it’s sensible of him to do that. Otherwise, I won’t let him off so easily.”
Angela nodded. ‘Let’s not mention this guy from now on. I have nothing to do with him anymore.”
“Oh, right, Angela, I told you that you deserve a better man. Don’t worry, I have some nice bachelors around me. I’ll choose a good guy for you.’ Daphne said
in an attempt to comfort her. “Mom, I don’t feel like dating anyone for now. I just want to rest for a couple of days.”
Daphne suggested, ‘If you don’t feel like dating anyone, then why don’t you come to my office? It’s time for you to try to take over my position.” She had been suffering from migraines since her previous car accident. Therefore, she planned to step down from her position and let her daughter learn how to run the company.
The Meyers Residence had taken on an entirely new look. A variety of flowers and plants were grown again in the once excavated garden; even the security system had been replaced by a top-level one. Sitting in the car, Angela suddenly saw through the car window that someone was running happily toward the car.
