Chapter 1023

“Old Master Lloyd, let me help you." Angela came over to assist him.

“No, it’s fine.You guys can talk.I’ll head in by myself."

Phillip motioned with his hand.He walked steadily despite his age and Meyers Residence was a place
he frequented, so he would not get lost for sure.

After seeing the old man enter the house, Angela resentfully looked at Richard and complained, “Why
didn’t you give me a heads up before coming?”

“We only received a call from your grandfather about an hour ago.I wanted to surprise you."

Richard smiled as he opened up his large windbreaker to wrap her in his arms, seeing that the cold
wind was a little too strong.

“Let’s go! We don’t wanna catch a cold from the wind.”

Angela wrapped her hand around his strong waist and sank into his embrace.Her heart was pounding
as she smelled his strong masculine scent, igniting a certain feeling within her.

When will we be able to progress to the next stage? she pondered.



Since she had decided to spend the rest of her life with him anyway, Angela thought it would be
reasonable to fight for more time with him by progressing to the next stage of their relationship sooner.

He came so late into my life, I guess I’m not selfish for wanting to cherish my time with him, right?

She reluctantly drew her hand away before walking into the living room with Richard.




The two old men were already happily engrossed in conversation.

As soon as Phillip arrived, Gilbert and Gabriel lowered their voices and the respectful look in their eyes
was clearly evident.

That was because the Meyers Family had received help from Phillip in many different aspects and
Gilbert had even worked under Phillip for a period of time too.

The Lloyds’ family background was impressive.

There was no other family in this country that was able to compete with the Lloyds.

“Richard, come over here and take a seat." Gilbert gestured to Richard.

Hearing that, Richard quickly walked over and took a seat.

Despite his identity in the outside world, he was just the younger generation in today’s event after all.

Angela and Annie sat together as they whispered to each other.

Now that Annie met Richard once again, the infatuation she had for him before had now turned into a
different kind of admiration.

Besides, she also realized that Angela and Richard made a perfect match as they stood next to each
other.

After a round of introductions, everyone then went off to the dining room.

The meal served tonight was sumptuous and Angela sat next to her mother as she looked at the men
toast each other.



Joshua was exceptionally happy today and he had taken all of his well-stored precious wine out of his
cellar and placed them all on the table.

Richard didn’t seem to be avoiding alcohol that night and there was also a glass of wine in front of him
and Elton.

At that moment, Angela thought to herself, How’s his tolerance for alcohol?I’ve never seen him drink
this much.

Richard’s face unexpectedly flushed red upon the slightest bit of alcohol.

After just two glasses of wine, his handsome face was already glimmering quite red unnaturally.

Under the light, he was red all over, even on his temples and in between his brows.

Angela couldn’t help but feel her heart race as she looked at him.

His tipsy face looked somehow quite charming to her.

Meanwhile, Annie was aware of Elton’s alcohol tolerance level, so she started to get slightly worried.

Halfway through the dinner, the men continued to enjoy their drinks while the younger generation left
the room first.

Phillip’s only habit after retirement was to enjoy the occasional drink.

So, right now, he didn’t really have too much to drink but was busy engrossing in conversation.He
continued to boast about his past with Joshua.
