Chapter 208 Ungrateful Behavior

• Angela became even more disappointed, but she had to put up with it. With the door closed, Claude and Martha didn’t want to be the third wheel. Jordy got in the car and started the engine. Angela looked at Jordy with her lips compressed. Kind remarks like (Iyou are a busy man and you can go were said too many times, she couldn’t repeat that. It’d be too repetitive. But at the moment, she couldn’t find any topics now to bring them closer… However, at the thought of that, her eyes flickered! Something suddenly came into her mind! With her eyes on the cars and people outside on the crowded street, Angela broke into a smile, “Do you remember when we were little kids, Jordy?” “What?” Jordy drove his car and asked lightly. Angela smiled, “I remember, we used to play together. Childhood seems to be the happiest time of our life. There were a lot of kids, and we often met each other at parties. It was a simpler world without the dark part of adulthood. Nothing but innocence and fun. I miss that.” Jordy’s eyes flickered. His childhood memory suddenly came rushing back. At that time, he and Gloria… Screech He suddenly hit the brakes hard! The sudden stopping of the car plunged her forward, but good thing was that she had worn her seat belt. The car in front of them had suddenly hit the brakes. It was a red light, which had brought him back to reality, so he had suddenly hit the brakes. He had gotten lost just now! Jordy compressed his lips, while Angela hurried to ask, “Are you tired, Jordy? Was it because the car in front of us had stopped too suddenly?” Jordy’s face was calm, “I’m fine.” And the next second, her face changed all of a sudden! The kids he had often played with! Beside her, there had also been Gloria! Jordy must have thought of Gloria and himself! Shit! Why had she had to mention things about Gloria?! But… For all these years, to suck up to Gloria and fit into the circles of the rich kids, she had been together with Gloria wherever she had gone. They had been like the closest sisters. She had been like the sister she had never had, according to what people said. But only she knew how she had wanted to replace Gloria. She had wanted to be Miss White! And one day, her dream had become true. God only knew how happy she had been! But now! She wanted to replace Gloria and be Mrs. Collins! Gloria had been thrown out! And now she was going to be Mrs. Collins! It didn’t matter. Jordy just had so much on his mind to deal with now. She was willing to give him time. And she also believed that he would fall in love with her during their time together! Nobody opened their mouths again. Angela looked sweet and obedient, which had somehow loosened up the atmosphere in the car. Jordy didn’t slow the car until they found themselves at the gate of the White residence. Claude’s car was also back in sight behind them. Jordy got off the car, while Claude purposely slowed his car a little bit and frowned, “I don’t believe he’ll still be waiting for me to carry Angela.” Martha had a serious look on her face, “I was suspicious when Angela called me last night. I’m getting the feeling that Jordy has changed. Does he still want to marry our daughter?” “How much has she suffered for him? What ungrateful behavior that would be!”
• A Familiar Figure
• Claude sounded a little irritated, and he drove his car very slowly. As for Jordy, after getting off the car, he didn’t rush to open the door to the back seat. Angela had a complicated expression on her face. She took a breath and opened the door herself. And soon one leg of hers was out of the car. Jordy hurried to walk up and stop her, “Don’t rush.” Angela’s eyes flickered. She couldn’t help but look at the man with some disbelief in her eyes and said in a trembling voice, “I almost got… by these men. Does it bother you?” Her face was pale as sheets. She looked at him through her tearful eyes. Jordy frowned a little bit, “You’re overthinking.” The tremor in Angela’s eyelashes brought tears down her face, “I know… I’m not good enough for you anymore. But I was not… they didn’t…” She could not finish her words. Jordy frowned, “No, it does not bother me. I was afraid it might bother you. That was why I kept the distance.” There was a surprise in Angela’s eyes. She lift her just lowered head with hopes in her eyes, “Really?” A complicated feeling crossed his eyes. Deep inside, he felt agitated. Normally, he would find it natural to take her to the hospital whenever she felt not well. She had been his lifesaver. But now, he didn’t want to touch her. “Yes,” Jordy nodded with ease. Angela recovered from the sadness instantly, her eyes filled with touched feelings, “You’re so sweet, Jordy.” Jordy looked away and didn’t want to meet her touched eyes, feeling as if he was lying to her. He felt guilty. Angela hesitated before she opened her mouth eventually, “Actually, they didn’t…” Jordy nodded his head slightly, but he didn’t try to pick her up. Instead, he looked at Claude’s car impatiently. He had taken forever to finish these last couple hundred meters! Claude seemed to have noticed Jordy’s impatiently cold eyes, so he dared not to dally but hit the gas. Martha’s face changed, “What are you doing? I told you to drive slowly!” “Forget it. You look at Jordy’s impatient face. He just doesn’t to hug Angela. Did he hurt his hands or something?” “Oh?” Martha took a subconscious look at Jordy’s hands. She was too far away from him and couldn’t see anything. “It’s possible. Hands, elbows, or arms. Or anywhere else to hug her,” said she unknowingly. “Never mind. Maybe he just wants to avert suspicion of any kind. They’re not married after all. Maybe he’s afraid we might get suspicious. OK, she’s my daughter. I’ll carry her back to her room.” Claude got off as he said it. He made quick steps to them and smiled, “Thank you for the ride, Mr. Collins. I’ve gotten some really good coffee recently. Would like a taste?” “I still got work at the company. Maybe next time,” Jordy said flatly and ignored everyone. After Claude had taken Angela out of his car, he got in and drove off. Before he left, Jordy saw the wistfulness in Angela’s eyes, but it soon became the support for his decisions. Jordy had a complicated look in his eyes. He hit the gas but soon saw the red light. He slowed his car but… a car behind him rear-ended him. Bang! Jordy’s face suddenly fell. Then, a familiar figure got off the white Maybach behind him. His knitted brows suddenly loosened up.
