Chapter 1085 A Little More To Go

Book:That Stranger Lying Beside Me Published:2024-6-1

In the living room, Richard looked healthy even though his arm was bandaged with gauze.
William saw his expression and knew that his wish had come true. He raised his eyebrows at Richard and said seriously, “I thought you were going to leave the hospital tomorrow.”
“That was the plan, but you’re getting married the day after tomorrow. Your marriage is a big deal, and I can’t let you down, so I was discharged ahead of schedule.”
“You’re indeed a true brother. Thank you!” William turned to look at Braelynn, “This guy didn’t bother you, did he?”
“No.” Braelynn lowered her head subconsciously.
Soon after, Mr. and Mrs. Clark rushed into the room. Seeing that Richard was fine, Mrs. Clark was relieved, “I heard from Abbie that you were ill. I have been worried about you the whole time, but I am relieved to see that you are fine now.”
“Who says I’m fine? I passed out yesterday! Thanks to Braelynn though, I survived. She saved my life, so I have to repay her in the future.”
Mrs. Clark looked at Braelynn and thanked her sincerely, “Braelynn, thank you for taking care of Richard!”
“I didn’t do anything. The doctors took care of him.” Braelynn didn’t expect him to say that, so her face turned red.
Although she promised to date Richard in the hospital, she made an additional agreement with him on the way here.
They would try to get along with each other first and continue the relationship if they developed feelings for each other. If not, they would break up.
For the sake of their reputation, they would not reveal their relationship or show their intimacy in front of outsiders before confirming that they were in a stable relationship. During the inspection period, Richard had to get rid of his playboy habits and focus solely on her.
Richard already agreed to her terms on the way, so why did he suddenly say something so explicit?
Braelynn glanced sideways at him, and she was afraid that Mrs. Clark would see through them, so she immediately changed the topic, “William, where is Valeria?”
“She’s at the back.”
“I’ll go out to see her.” Braelynn said as she hurried out. William saw Braelynn trying to avoid situation and glanced at Richard. it looked like his brother hadn’t fully succeeded yet! Just a little more to go.
The wedding would be held early in the morning the day after tomorrow, so the guests were arriving one after another at night.
In addition to the guests who were invited, Andrew, Marcus, Bobby, and Silas also arrived at the manor at nine o’clock in the evening.
Thomas arrived with Marcus and others, and he was invited by Valeria.
Seeing that Thomas also came to attend the wedding, Michael sensed an odd situation and asked William, “Didn’t you say that you only invited close relatives and close friends? What’s Thomas doing here?”
William shrugged his shoulders, “Stop questioning me. My wife invited him. If you have the guts, go ask her about it.”
How could Michael ask Valeria? If he dared to ask her, William would not let him go.
These were all excuses! Michael said angrily, “I don’t believe that you had no say over Valeria. You did it on purpose! You deliberately made trouble for me!”
“To tell you the truth, she was going to let him be my groomsman, and I have already stopped that for you. You should be satisfied!”
Hearing him say that, Michael had nothing else to say and walked away resentfully.
The three people from the Floyd family were also surprised to see Thomas attend the wedding. Callum and Fandrey both appreciated Thomas very much, so they were very happy that he was invited.
During the evening break, Deborah talked to Fandrey about Thomas, “That young lad has many talents. He is good looking and has such a good personality. I have an idea… What if we tried to let Angel and Thomas…”
Fandrey paused for a moment, “Angel and Thomas?”
“Yes! I have been thinking of a suitable match for her, but there are not many people who fit the description. The ones who do are already married too. Angel’s temper is a pain to deal with, and with Thomas’ good temper, it would be good if she liked him and dated him.”
Fandrey was silent for a moment, “I think you’re thinking too much.”
“What do you mean? Are you afraid that Angel will look down on Thomas?”
“Of course not! I’m just afraid that he won’t like her.”
Deborah was unhappy to hear him say this, “Why would he not like her? She’s pretty and has a good status, so he has no reason not to.”
“There are too many beautiful women in the world. And Angel does not have a personality good enough to match her high status. Do you think that Thomas is a gold digger?”
Fandrey’s words were very direct, which infuriated Deborah, “I’m not saying that he’s a gold digger, but this is just such a good opportunity for him, so he shouldn’t reject it, right?”
“I think it’s very likely for him to reject it. There was a daughter of a rich family who liked him when he was abroad, but Callum told me that he rejected her without hesitation.”
“Is that so? What an interesting guy! Since he doesn’t have the intention to associate himself with a rich and powerful family, that proves the quality of his character. Isn’t this just the perfect candidate for the grandson-in-law that we want?” After hearing about what happened to Thomas from Fandrey, Deborah liked him even more and tried her best to convince Fandrey.
“That’s true, but nothing good will come out of a forced relationship. It’s clear that he doesn’t have any feelings for Angel.”
“That’s not a big deal. There are so many examples of people falling in love over time. Don’t you want to let Angel work in the company? If you let her have more interactions with Thomas, maybe they’ll develop feelings for each other after a while.”
Seeing that Deborah was persistent with her enthusiasm, Fandrey didn’t try to persuade her anymore. He knew what kind of person Angel was. If she were to spend a long time with Thomas, he would be more disgusted with her as time went by.
However, he couldn’t dampen his wife’s enthusiasm, so he vaguely changed the topic, “It’s getting late, let’s rest first and talk about this matter later!”
In China, Angel went to the company in a bad mood after getting up. Of course, she did not go to work, but to gain a sense of presence.
Because of her identity, the employees in the company were respectful to her, which tremendously boosted her ego.
But this vanity did not last long as she felt extremely bored after she stayed in the office until three o’clock in the afternoon, and she left the company with her bodyguards.
On the way back, she asked the bodyguards to stop the car and went to the mall to buy a hairpin. Then, she went to the beauty salon for a facial and had dinner before she returned home.
Just like last night, when Madelyn heard the sound of the car coming back, she took the lead and greeted her, “Hello, Miss! Dinner is ready!”
Angel was disgusted the moment she saw Madelyn and replied coldly, “I have already eaten dinner!”
“Then I’ll prepare the bath for you!”
Angel did not intend to deal with Madelyn today, but since Madelyn was practically asking for it, she might as well.
She took off the hairpin on her head with a faint smile and agreed, “Okay, come upstairs with me!”
