A Love Trap

Chapter 349 Unexpected Meeting

Martin's face softened a little bit as he glanced at Belinda. "Are you sure? We just have to go out once?"

"I'm sure, I'm sure! And then, I'll listen to whatever you have to say."

"Fine. But you have to hold my hand and stay with me all the time, understood?"

"I know, I'm not a kid. Do you think I'll get lost?"

Martin didn't say anything. Belinda had not gone out in a long time, and he truly worried about her.

But on the other hand, seeing how happy she was, he didn't want to say anything that could upset her.

Jeremy hung up the phone and made sure there wasn't anything important he needed to do. After giving his assistant some instructions, he left the office.

He got into his car and made another call.

Angelina was surprised to receive Jeremy's call. This was the first time Jeremy contacted her ever since their last meeting, she thought he already ditched her.

"Where are you? Can I come see you?" Jeremy asked politely and gently.

Jeremy could hear Angelina talking to her friends to excuse herself. "I'm in school. Graduation is coming up, so I have to hurry and finish my thesis. But I have already finished my part," Angelina explained.

"Oh, then is it okay for me to come see you there?"

"Sure," affirmed Angelina.

"Great. Wait for me there then."

"Okay, Jeremy, see you soon," Angelina hung up the phone.

After putting down the phone, Angelia found her two companions were watching her with hostile eyes.

Two of her friends approached her with menacing smiles. "So tell us, who was that guy who called just now? Our school beauty who was always cold and proud spoke to some guy in such a gentle and sweet voice. Oh, my God. This is definitely breaking news."

A petite girl clinging to a guy's arm was also looking at her inquisitively. The next thing Angelina knew, she was surrounded by onlookers trying to pry on what was happening.

"Hey, do you have to stare at me that way? It's my brother, okay? Is your life so boring that you have nothing more interesting to do? Has my private life become your only interest?" Angelina winked at them, silently gesturing them to stop drawing attention from others.

Her two friends had to draw their hostility back after getting Angelina's warning.

After all, among the crowd was Sammy, a guy who had a crush on her.

They were on the same grade but not the same class. They met earlier somewhere else and walked together. Just a moment ago they were discussing about going out to eat together.

"Your brother? I remember you having a sister, but not a brother. Since when have you had brother?" asked Jennifer suspiciously.

"He should be my biological brother, but I'm not very sure yet," said Angelina, shaking her head.

Her best friends knew that Angelina was adopted by the Li family.

"Oh. All right. Forget it for now. We agreed to eat out, right? Let's go. We can talk about that later."

"I'm sorry. I have something to do today. You go and have fun." Angelina smiled apologetically.

Sammy, who had been silent all the while, said hesitantly, "Is your brother coming to see you?"

"That's right." Angelina nodded in response.

The two girls muttered some complaint. The crowd started to disperse.

Sammy lingered and said, "I can walk you to the same place you're going to."

"Won't you join them?" asked Angelina.

Sammy scratched his head and smiled shyly. "They won't miss me if I don't go. I'd better walk you there."

Angelina slowed down her steps to keep some distance from him. "Thank you, but I'll meet my brother at the gate of the school. You better catch up to them." She put on a cold, aloof smile.

Sammy saw her attitude through her expression and manners. His eyes turned dark and he had to give up. "Okay, then you take care of yourself."

"Okay, bye."

Seeing him leave, Angelina turned back and took a long sigh of relief.

Sammy was not bad. He had a clean-cut face and nicely-shaped features. He was over six feet in height, fit and strong. He was academically good, too.

As a school beauty, Angelina didn't lack admirers.

She liked Sammy the most for treating her well. In fact, she already had the intention to be his girlfriend. She wouldn't have agreed to go have a meal with him otherwise.

But Jeremy's call stopped her. Angelina's attitude towards Sammy went back to what she had at the very beginning.

In reality, Angelina had her hidden agenda and her own vanity.

Now that she had a brother, Jeremy, who belonged to the upper society, she wouldn't have a boyfriend who was just a nobody.

After she went with Jeremy to that resort village, she found out that everyone she met there were top guys in J City.

Since then, her feeling for Sammy started to wane.

Sammy looked humble and unattractive compared to them.

Furthermore, aware that she was the sister of the owner of the Gu Group, she couldn't have a boyfriend casually. At least that person had to match her new social status.

'So, Sammy, sorry. Nothing is going to happen between us.'

After Sammy disappeared, Angelina turned back and walked towards the gate of the school.

As she was waiting for Jeremy at the gate, a silver Rolls-Royce stopped in front of her. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Jeremy got out of the car and came to her side. Gently he asked, "Have you waited long?"

"No, I just got here," Angelina smiled timidly.

"Get in the car then," Jeremy opened the door for Angelina and walked around to the driver's seat.

As he said that, he opened the door for Angelina and helped her get into the car. After that, he walked around to the driver's seat.

On his way to their meeting place, he had been thinking about how to tell Angelina about his invitation.

It took him long to mention to her anything about his family.

He was very excited whenever he saw Angelina, and he didn't want to overwhelm her. He had been waiting for the right time to talk about it until now.

Now his family had requested him to bring her back to meet them today no matter what.

He gripped the steering wheel tight as he tried to get the words out of him. "Angelina, would you like to meet our mom and dad? They miss you very much. After they learned that I found you, they have been wanting to come to see you, but they are afraid it would be impolite and scare you."
