Chapter 317 I Missed You, so I Came
Yoanna appeared somewhat dissatisfied with Yaxley's introduction of her, so she
added to Angela politely, “I grew up with Yaxley, so I am very familiar with
Northland. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me.”
Angela nodded awkwardly and replied, “Okay, I 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.”
Yoanna 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!”

Chapter 3171 Missed You, so I 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 I 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.
YYoanna 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 I 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,
getin.”
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'l 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.

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.
Reminding herself not to meddle in others* affairs, Angela took out her phone to
play a game and diverted her attention.
As she took out her phone, she noticed a call from Jonathan. After a moment of
hesitation, she decided to decline the call.
Instead of returning the call immediately, Jonathan sent her a message.

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 I came.”
As always, his deep, magnetic voice caused Angela to blush.
