Chapter 23 It Was Really Humiliating

Chapter 23 It Was Really Humiliating

Angelina's mind still didn't clear after she was woken up.

Lying on the bed, she asked in a daze, "People of the Fuller family?"

Alan smiled helplessly, "Yes, Miss Angelina. All of the elders of the Fuller family are here, and your 'future husband' is also here."

Alan added, "Miss Angelina, get up, please. It's not good to let the guests wait."

Angelina woke up completely when hearing "future husband", and said softly, "Okay, I got it, Uncle Alan."

After Alan left, Angelina lay on the soft bed to relax for a while.

Then she threw back the covers and got out of bed to dress up.

Her future husband arrived?

The elders were also here?

Humph!

Angelina wanted to see if "Ishmael" still had a reason to deny his identity.

After washing up, Angelina simply combed her hair, casually draped it over her shoulders, and then put on a sweater and boots.

That made her pretty and simple, looking very decent to meet the elders.

After walking to the door, she turned back suddenly to find something in her bag.

She took a bottle of perfume out of the bag without a careful look at it and sprayed herself with a little of it.

After smelling the fragrance, she realized that the perfume was the Flame series of GC.

How coincidental it was! The perfume happened to be the one she wore when she went to Night Siren that day and met "Ishmaell" for the first time.

Hearing Angelina's footsteps on the stairs, the people in the living room all turned their eyes to the stairs.

Abraham laughed softly, "Angie caught the earliest flight. Once she arrived here, she played chess with me before going to rest, and only woke up now."

Kristin actually had met Angelina before and had a good impression of her, saying, "Angie is really filial. Uncle Abraham, I feel very happy for you."

Keith also fixed his eyes on the stairs.

Hearing the sound of her stepping on the stairs, he couldn't help smiling.

He wondered what kind of reaction she would have after seeing him here.

Without knowing what was waiting for her, Angelina just walked downstairs slowly without deep thoughts.

When she was about to get to the living room, she saw the elders sitting not far away.

She recognized Kristin because they once met by chance in a shopping mall.

She knew that the people next to Kristin were Ishmael's father, her grandfather and Alan.

But when noticing the other two people who were sitting opposite, Angelina suddenly felt a little unbelievable.

One was younger and was about her age.

The other was maturer and looked elegant in a suit and a pair of leather shoes. But it seemed that he was not Kristin's son because he didn't look like Kristin or Herman at all.

So...

Ishmael was the younger one?

Angelina was so stunned that she didn't even dare to go downstairs, unwilling to face such a stunning truth.

Keith kept looking at her with a shallow smile.

When their eyes met for a split second, Angelina panicked and quickly looked away.

Who could come to save her?!

She couldn't even move her legs...

Seeing Angelina standing there without moving, Abraham coughed softly, and said slowly, "Angie, what are you standing there for? Come here to say hello to your uncle and aunt."

Angelina's mind was full of questions, and she was trapped into a total mess.

Hearing her grandfather's words, she said okay softly, and then walked to the living room rather stiffly.

Angelina subconsciously softened her voice and apologized, " Sorry, Grandpa. I woke up late. I should have come here earlier to wait for my uncle and aunt."

Abraham smiled, "Your uncle and aunt didn't blame you. No need to panic. Go to say hello."

She wasn't afraid.

She was nervous.

Such a situation really made her begin to wonder if she had really mistaken "Ishmael" for someone else and flirted with the wrong man...

After all, "Ishmael" was not like the son of Herman and Kristin at all...

Who could come to help her out! She was so embarrassed...

Angelina didn't dare to look at "Ishmael" at all, so she had to say hello first to the elders she knew, "Hello, Uncle, Auntie."

Kristin was very satisfied with Angelina, praising, "Angie, relax. Don't regard me as an outsider. Thanks to you helping me pick that silk scarf, I got a lot of praises from those ladies."

Angelina smiled, "I am happy that you likes it."

Kristin asked, "Haven't you seen my son yet? It's been many years since we came to the Mansion last time. This is my son, Ishmael."

Kristin added, "I've always wanted to invite you to my house for dinner, but unfortunately, I couldn't find a suitable opportunity."

The only belief which Angelina persisted in completely collapsed.

It collapsed without any remains.

Because Kristin's son, her "future husband", was not the maturer one in a suit and leather shoes but the younger one!!!

Why was Ishmael, her "future husband" , the younger one???

She had never seen him before!! She didn't see him when having the dinner that day!!

How could it be this Ishmael, and not that Ishmael??

Angelina held her breath with her eyes full of disbelief.

When raising her head, she happened to meet Keith's gaze.

Unlike Angelina who was in a state of shock, Keith was very calm, just looking at her with ease.

She could see a faint smile in his eyes, as if he had anticipated the current situation, so he looked at her calmly.

At the moment, Angelina remembered her conversation with him in the hospital.

"Miss Jefferson, you must misunderstand something."

"No way. Stop lying."

"I'm not Ishmael, Miss Jefferson. You mistake me for someone else."

"Humph! Typital words of love rats! 'You misunderstand me.' 'I'm not him.'"

He explained, but she didn't believe it.

She confidently bet that the engagement should be cancelled if he was Ishmael while she would marry him if he was not Ishmael.

Angelina, "..."

She held her breath in disbelief and even didn't know how to react.

If the man whom she flirted with was not Ishmael, who was he?

She remembered the people in that private box, even Director Gates and the producer, called him Mr. Fuller. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Was it an coincidence? Did he happen to have the same surname as Ishmael?

But why did the elders of the Fuller family come over today with him? Did he come here to laugh at her?

Seeing her absence of mind, Abraham called, "Angie."

Keith called slowly with his deep gaze at Angelina who froze not far away, "Miss Jefferson."

Angelina, "..."

She failed to respond.

She didn't know what to say.

She just knew that she had flirted with the wrong man, but she still didn't know who the wrong man was.
