Chapter 317
Chapter 317 | Missed You, so | Came Yoanna appeared somewhat dissatisfied with Yaxley's introduction of her, so she added to Angela politely, “I grew up with Yaxley, so | am very familiar with Northland. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.” Angela nodded awkwardly and replied, “Okay, | understand. Thank you.” Seeing her tactful response, Yoanna didn’t say much more. Yaxley didn’t notice anything amiss, either. He asked the two to wait on the side of the road while he went to fetch the car to pick them up. “You two wait here. I'll go get the car.” “Okay, Yaxley. You go ahead. I'll stay with Angela.” In a short span of time, Yoanna had already become friendly enough to address Angela by her first name. Angela also nodded at Yaxley, allowing him to retrieve the car without worry. However, as soon as Yaxley departed, Yoanna crossed her arms, scrutinized Angela, and. inquired, “Are you very familiar with my Yaxley?" “Not particularly.” Angela shook her head. Although taken aback by Yoanna’s sudden change in demeanor, Angela still truthfully answered. It was evident that she was not acquainted with Yaxley, and she had never even. heard of him before today. Yoanna likely did not anticipate Angela's response. The words she had prepared seemed to stick in her throat, and she was unsure how to proceed. She shot Angela a glare and remarked, “How can you not be familiar? Yaxley wouldn't be so kind to someone he doesn’t know! Are you trying to catch me off guard by saying that?” Angela felt thoroughly perplexed and helplessly replied, “I had never heard of Yaxley before today, so we truly are not familiar.” YYoanna made no effort to conceal her animosity toward Angela, who was not oblivious and could clearly sense the hostility. “I don't believe you. How could you not have heard of my Yaxley? Wherever he goes, he must be a prominent figure!” 1/4 Chapter 3171 Missed You, so | Came Yoanna was displeased with Angela's attitude and continued to argue. Angela fell silent, unsure of how to respond. Yoanna then chuckled. “Speechless, huh? Do you think | can’t see through your intentions? You just want to attract his attention!” This sarcastic remark left Angela speechless, and she even contemplated revealing the fact that she was married but eventually refrained. She believed it was not worth it. Yoanna was about to say something else when she noticed a car approaching. She immediately altered her expression and even linked arms with Angela, putting on a friendly facade. Her sudden change startled Angela, who almost pushed her away. The car halted in front of them, and Yaxley alighted and walked around to the passenger side. “Yaxley, you're fast. Angela and | haven't even had a chance to chat,” Yoanna remarked with a smile. Angela thought to herself. Thank goodness Yaxley showed up. Otherwise, I'd have to put up with Yoanna's mood swings a few more times. Yaxley responded casually, then opened the passenger seat for Angela. “Angela, get in.” As Angela was about to step forward, Yoanna suddenly grabbed her arm and pushed her aside, positioning herself in front of Angela.” “I get motion sickness, so I'll sit in the front. Is that okay, Angela?” Yoanna said in a pitiful tone, casting a headache—inducing look at Angela after settling in the car. Angela paid no heed to her theatrics or her words and simply opened the back door directly. Yaxley frowned at Yoanna and stated, “Get out.” Yoanna remained unmoved, gazing at him with a pained expression. Angela said, “Yaxley, I'll take the back seat.” She could feel Yoanna’s animosity toward her and suspected that Yoanna had a crush on Yaxley, hence the hostility. 2/4 However, Angela had just met Yaxley, and he showed no interest in her, so she had no reason to be interested in him. It was all Yoanna's imagination. Still, even if it was just a figment of her imagination, Angela saw no need to address it. Some things were better left unsaid, as it would only cause embarrassment. Angela chose to stay silent. She settled in the back seat, and once she was seated, Yaxley glanced at Yoanna before getting into the car. The atmosphere in the car was no longer as serene as before as Yoanna persistently questioned Yaxley about Riverdon. Although Yaxley was not very talkative, he responded briefly. From their conversation, Angela sensed Yoanna's regret and Yaxley's indifference. It appeared that Yaxley's acceptance of Riverdon was unexpected to everyone. Yoanna was deeply affected by it. She had tried to locate Yaxley at Riverdon a few times, but he was always in the lab and did not see her. After listening for a few moments, Angela lost interest. Even someone who had only known Yoanna for a short time, like Angela, could discern Yoanna's feelings toward Yaxley. How could Yaxley not notice it himself? Even if he did, Yaxley showed no inclination to respond. His demeanor was nonchalant and detached, not extreme, but it made the decisive Angela feel uneasy.

Angela promptly responded to Jonathan's message, explaining that she was in a friend's car and unable to talk on the phone. 3/4 Chapter 7 1 j¥113564 zum in They exchanged a few messages, and Angela found a peculiar sweetness in watching Jonathan type out his replies. She was so engrossed in their conversation that she completely tuned out the voices of Yoanna and Yaxley to the point where she could not hear them at all. Jonathan inquired about her well-being at the library and how she was adjusting to Northland’s weather. She answered each question without any impatience. Jonathan messaged again, asking if she had eaten dinner. After a moment of thought, Angela replied that she was heading back to the hotel for dinner. Just as she finished speaking, Jonathan's response came. He said, “Wait for me.” Confused for a moment, Angela did not understand what he meant until the car pulled up in front of the hotel. Upon exiting the car, she saw Jonathan dressed in a suit, looking slightly disheveled. Angela had never anticipated that he would arrive in Northland early. Upon seeing him, she hurried out of the car and ran toward him. After embracing Jonathan, she finally felt the reality of the moment. “Why did you come to early?” she asked joyfully, her eyes sparkling and her heart racing. Jonathan held her, gently stroking her head and gazing at her affectionately. “I missed you, so | came.” As always, his deep, magnetic voice caused Angela to blush.
