Falling for my ex’s uncle novel

Chapter 122 Angela smiled .

Dont worry .

If I really marry into the Parks family , Ill be her sister in law .

Theres plenty of time to correct her behavior .

Seeing Angelas subdued and calm demeanor , I couldnt help but feel in my heart that she was overthinking everything .

The human heart was always so stubborn , especially in someone like Kailyn .

She was not just the only daughter of the Parks family , but she also carried the Shepherd family name .

Even if she made a huge mistake , Maddox would never easily scold her .

Isaac would just cover for her .

Angelas delusions of correct her behavior were too naive .

And given Kailyns nature , she would never allow Angela to marry into the Parks family .

If she did , it would mean she had some other plan in mind .

And Angela , that naive girl , wouldnt even realize when she was being deceived .

Laurel , whats wrong ? Angela asked , noticing I hadnt said anything .

She stared at me for a moment before speaking slowly .

I know you dont like Kailyn , but Isaacs a pretty nice guy .

Hes gentle , and he even saved you .

Kailyn wants to marry Alex , I said .

What ? Angelas face lit up with surprise .

So do you really think shed be okay with Isaac being with you ? I asked .

Angela wrinkled her nose , her tone a mix of surprise and confusion .

Come on .

Isnt one Samantha enough ? And now another Kailyn ? Well , what can I say ? Alex is always popular , I said , cocking my head and glancing at Angela , who was looking angry .

Angela thought for a moment .

But Kailyn cant influence Isaacs decisions .

I met her gaze with a serious expression .

Angela , do you really love Isaac ? Angela smiled .

Honestly , I almost gave up earlier , but I never expected a twist like this .

After a brief pause , I smiled .

Even if I said more , Angela probably wouldnt listen .

In my heart , I only hoped Isaac didnt have the same feelings for Angela .

After all , there hadnt been any rumors about him , so maybe he already had someone else in mind .

Laurel , are you here to buy clothes ? Angela asked , her gaze turning toward me .

Alex said hes taking me back to Newton City tomorrow , I replied , pausing and wrinkling my nose slightly .

He said were meeting his mom and dad .

Seriously ? Angelas face lit up with excitement , her whole body buzzing with energy .

She clutched my arm , her smile growing wider .

Does this mean your wedding is close ? 1/3 17:40 Mon , 17 Mar M Chapter 122 ¥ 33 % 售 Or it could mean well break up .

It wont happen .

Angela shot me a sidelong glance .

Raphaels always valued Mr.

Herrera .

Both Raphael and Lena will like you , as long as Mr.

Herrera likes you .

Have you forgotten about the connection between the Harvey family and the Herrera family ? I asked .

Angela went silent for a moment before saying , Dont worry .

If he wants to take you to his family , he must have already made up his mind .

I hope so , I replied softly , but thinking of Alexs indifferent demeanor , I didnt think he had made any preparations at all .

Dont you need to buy a gift when you meet your future in laws for the first time ? Do you know what they like ? Angela asked seriously .

Gift ? I thought for a moment and shook my head .

Angela gave me a suspicious look .

Didnt Alex ask you to prepare a gift for them ? He didnt bring a gift for my mom when he came to my house , I said .

Angela rolled her eyes and poked my head .

Laurel , youre really something .

He gave you a house in Honeydew Estate , a gift most people couldnt afford , and he even found a job for Maliyah with a guaranteed salary of 3,000 dollars a month ! My dad didnt even pay me that much when I joined his company .

I nodded , acknowledging that Angela had a point .

This did seem a big gift .

I turned to her and said , But I dont have the money for a gift that expensive .

Besides , whatever gift I brought might just be tossed aside , so why waste the money ? Even though the money wasnt mine , that didnt mean I could splurge .

Why dont you call Mr.

Herrera ? Angela suggested .

I shook my head , unwilling to make myself look foolish .

With Alexs character , if there was really a need to buy a gift , he would have done it a long time ago .

There was no need for me to bother .

Laurel , gifts are important , Angela said , tugging me toward the luxury counter .

But I didnt recognize any of the brands .

After all , when I went to meet Austins parents for the first time , I had to spend half a years savings just to buy a gift , and it didnt seem like Amanda liked me any more for it .

She was far happier with the limited edition Hermes bag I got through my connections .

When we reached the jewelry store , I stopped in my tracks , thinking the ruby I had bought at auction might be worth a fair bit of money .

I was about to go in and inquire when I saw Samantha approaching .

I almost forgot this was one of the stores of her family .

To be precise , 80 % of the jewelry stores in Nifelheim City were owned by the Harvey family .

So , meeting her here wasnt that surprising after all .

Miss Parks , are , you here to buy jewelry ? Samantha asked in a gentle tone , walking straight up to me with a graceful , drop- 2/3 Chapter 122 dead gorgeous smile .

Miss Harvey , youre overestimating me .

I was wondering if this store recycles jewelry ? I asked , raising an eyebrow Angela and Samantha both froze in surprise .

Does it not recycle jewelry here ? I asked .

We do recycle jewelry , Samantha replied , glancing meaningfully at the bracelet I was wearing .

Ill take the one on your wrist too if you need .

Not this one .

Ill have to return it .

I sighed softly , my eyes full of helplessness .

After all , this bracelet is meant for Alexs future wife , and Ive kept it long enough .

A flash of dismay crossed Samanthas face , and she looked at me , seemingly at a loss for words .

Before she could gather herself , I lowered my voice and said , Miss Harvey , I may have been foolish in the past .

If Ive offended you in any way , please , just let it go .

Samanthas expression flickered with confusion for a second , but it was quickly replaced with a knowing smile .

Looks like youve figured things out , Miss Parks .

I nodded calmly .

One must know ones place, Samantha said , taking a check from her bag and swiftly writing 4 million dollars on it .

Without hesitation , she handed it to me .

As long as you leave Alex , Ill pay you every penny of what I promised , she said .

I cant take this money , I replied , clearing my throat and pulling the ruby from my bag .

I was wondering … how much do you think this ruby is worth ? 3/3 AD Comment
