Chapter 26 Get Something Nice

Angela was overwhelmed with guilt when she saw Quincy. She couldn't help but reflect on how her own foolishness in her previous life had burdened her cousin with guilt for the rest of his life. She wanted to slap herself for it.

Quincy had been in love with a girl for many years, but Angela, in an attempt to match Joseph with the girl, did her best to intervene. However, she later discovered that the girl actually had feelings for Quincy. After marrying Joseph, their relationship became strained.

As Angela lowered her gaze and remained silent, Queenie thought that her words as the older sister had hurt her. She quickly comforted her, “Angela, don’t be sad. Quincy is just in a bad mood. Actually, he would love for you to move in, right, Quincy?” Queenie nudged her older brother with her elbow and used her eyes to signal him to say something nice and comfort their sister.

Quincy coldly snorted as if he couldn’t see anything and expressionlessly went into the kitchen to help their father. Angela blinked. She didn’t mind Quincy's attitude. Instead, she felt guilty. She felt responsible for Quincy’s bad mood.

“Don’t mind him. He’s just being stubborn. Treating girls with such a bad attitude, it's no wonder he’s in his twenties and still can’t bring a girlfriend home.” Hecate glared at Quincy with disapproval in her eyes, very dissatisfied with her son’s behavior.

When Quincy heard the word “girlfriend, his footsteps noticeably paused, but it was only for a moment. He then continued with his long strides and quickly entered the kitchen.

Queenie leaned closer to Angela and whispered, “My brother is in a bad mood. It seems like the girl he likes has a boyfriend” Angela lowered her gaze, her face turning pale.

Donald's family didn’t know the situation, but she knew it very well. Quincy liked Felicia, and her boyfriend was Joseph Joseph, whom she had tried so hard to match with. She had taken away the girl her cousin liked, and her cousin only gave her the cold shoulder. He didn’t kick her out, which was considered showing mercy. Angela bit her lip and remained silent. Her big, bright, watery eyes flickered. They were not married yet, so she didn’t know if there was still time to win Felicia back from Joseph!

The dishes were all served, and the table was filled with dishes that Angela liked to eat. She was so touched that she didn’t know what to say. It had been three years, but Donald still remembered her favorite dishes.

Emilia Langdon looked at the table full of dishes and couldn’t help but frown and scold Donald.

“How many times have | told you not to cook so many dishes at night? If you can’t finish them, they will go to waste. Such a waste!”

After a pause, Emilia continued, “You young people haven't experienced any hardships. You don’t know

the shame of wasting. In our time, we couldn’t even have enough to eat. Now that times are better, we shouldn’t waste good food like this!”

Donald nodded repeatedly and hurriedly explained, “Mom, | made all these dishes because Angela came over, and Queenie and Quincy also came back for a visit. It's not easy for them, so | thought of making more dishes. It won’t go to waste.”

Although he said that, Emilia still had a stern face. Making so many delicious dishes, how much money would it cost? With one more person, there would be more expenses. Angela would have to provide for herself while staying here. She couldn't just eat, drink, and live for free.

Hecate served a bowl of chicken soup for Angela and reminded her, “Be careful, you’re so thin. You need to drink more chicken soup to nourish yourself.” Knowing that Angela had suffered a lot in the Kins Family, Hecate went to the market early in the morning and bought an old hen. She added red dates and wolfberries and stewed them for several hours. The aroma alone was particularly appetizing.

Angela delicately sipped the chicken soup with a spoon and smiled, complimenting. “Auntie, your cooking skills have improved greatly. This chicken soup is delicious.”

Upon receiving praise, Hecate generously added a ladleful of chicken soup to Angela’s bowl and said, “If it’s delicious, have some more. There’s plenty left.”

Quincy silently continued eating, but upon hearing Angela’s flattering words, he couldn't help but sneer a few times. Hecate, now angry, glared at her son. “Why are you being so sarcastic?”

Quincy's tone was cold and filled with disdain as he replied, “She should have more, especially to nourish her brain so she won't become even more foolish. As he finished speaking, a hint of pain flashed in Quincy's black eyes.

Donald's family stared at Quincy in disbelief, shocked by his hurtful words. Angela nervously gripped her cutlery, her face turning red. She took a deep breath and looked at Quincy.

“Quincy, I’m sorry. | was wrong about that matter. | will explain it clearly to Felicia.” She accepted the consequences of her actions, even if it meant being scolded or hit by Quincy,

Quincy coldly smiled, “No need!”

Their son had always been exceptional since childhood, and they never needed to control him. Hecate couldn’t control him either. She looked around anxiously and said, “Quincy, Angela is still young. As her older cousin, you should guide her when she makes mistakes. Don’t use hurtful words.”

Quincy pursed his lips and ignored his mother’s words. “I’m full. I’m going back to the office first.” With that, he walked away.

Hecate sighed and turned to comfort Angela, “Angela, don’t be angry. Quincy has a temper, but he still cares about you. I'll make him apologize to you when he comes back!”

Angela smiled awkwardly. Hecate favored her, but how could she ask Quincy to apologize? “Aunt Hecate, what Quincy said is correct. | was indeed foolish and made numerous mistakes,” Angela apologized with a sense of guilt.

Hecate gazed at Angela affectionately and served her food, encouraging her to eat more. After finishing the meal, Angela and Queenie wanted to help with the dishes. However, Hecate waved her hand and hurried the younger ones out of the kitchen to watch TV.

As they entered the living room, Angela’s phone in her pocket began to ring. Angela took it out and glanced at the caller ID. It was her estranged father calling. Receiving a call at this time, she didn’t know what it could be about, but it surely wouldn’t bring good news because, in the Kins Family, good things

never came her way. She turned and went to the balcony to answer the call. Just as she pressed the answer burton, George’s angry voice came from the other side. “Angela, you’re becoming more audacious. Why didn’t you consult with us before transferring faculties? Do you still have any respect for me as your father?”

It seemed that the counselor had already informed George about her plan to transfer faculties. Angela’s expression turned cold. She rubbed her car and ended the call immediately. No matter how much she had explained in the past, they wouldn’t believe her. They trampled on her dignity, taking advantage of her care for them. Now, she didn’t care about any of those people. For those she didn’t care about, Angela didn’t want to waste her time dealing with them.

After ending the call, she turned and saw Donald standing at the door, looking at her with concern. “Was that your dad?” She nodded, unsure of how much Donald had overheard.

Donald furrowed his brow and asked in a deep voice. “Does he always speak to you in that manner and with that attitude?” Although he knew that Angela didn’t have a good life in the Kins Family and that the Kins Family treated her poorly, hearing George curse at his daughter as if he held a grudge against her. Donald felt a pang of unease in his heart.

She is such a good girl, so why does she seem like trash in George’s eyes? George took out an old leather wallet and pulled out two one—dollar bills, placing them in Angela’s hand. “Take this money and buy yourself something delicious, Look at how thin you've become. You're like a stick.”

Angela looked at the money, feeling both amused and tearful. “Is this your secret stash?”
