After several days, Angela finally managed to carve out some free time to bring a heartfelt lunch to Jonathan at the office.
The journey was uninterrupted. Before long, Angela laid eyes on Jonathan.
Upon spotting Angela. Jonathan promptly asked Simon to excuse them. When he saw t food in Angela’s hands, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of warmth.
“What prompted this impromptu food delivery?”
Angela responded, “I simply wanted to see you, of course.”

As she had just received positive news from the first round of selection, she was eager to share it with Jonathan as soon as possible, hence the lunch delivery.
“I’ve missed you too.” Jonathan affectionately patted her head. “I plan to take you on a little. trip in the coming days.”
Despite his recent hectic schedule, he had been planning to bring Angela out for a getaway.
Even though they had held their wedding ceremony, their busy lives had prevented them from enjoying a proper honeymoon. Therefore, he was determined to make it up to her.
Angela was taken aback. “An outing?”
Jonathan nodded. After that, he inquired, “Do you not fancy the idea?”
“I do, but I have to attend an upcoming off–campus training…”
The International Medical Association?” Jonathan guessed correctly.
Angela nodded before announcing enthusiastically, “Yes! Jonathan, I made it through the first–round selection. There’s still some time before the next round of tests, so Professor Terence suggested I participate in the second round of the national off–campus training.”
The first round was opened for 100 college applicants nationwide. Only 40 individuals made it through the selection.
This time, all 40 participants will undergo a period of training and exchange in the off–campus training before the second–round selection begins.
“Where is the training taking place? I’ll join you.” Jonathan, who had finally cleared his

schedule, was keen on accompanying her.
Moreover, he would indeed be worried about Angela if the training was held in another city.
“In Northland.” Angela beamed. “I’ve never been there. Will you come with me, Jonathan?”
Since she also couldn’t bear the thought of being apart from Jonathan, she figured having him by her side in Northland would be ideal.
“Of course, I’ll accompany you.” Jonathan patted her head.
Their conversation was soon interrupted by a call from Terence. Having no intention to hide. the call from Jonathan, Angela promptly answered,
Once Terence mentioned a time and venue, she realized he had called to inform her about the departure details.
“So soon?” Upon learning they were leaving the next day, Angela glanced somewhat awkwardly in Jonathan’s direction.
Even if Jonathan can take his time out, it will still be days before he can join me in Northland.
“You go ahead. I’ll let Oliver accompany you. I’ll wrap things up here and join you shortly.” Jonathan suggested after overhearing the conversation.
Sensing Jonathan’s presence, Terence teased, “What’s the matter? Are you thinking of going with her? Seriously? You’re that concerned?”
–
“Yes, I am,” Jonathan tasually replied before taking Angela’s hand and ending the call.
Angela chuckled helplessly. Understanding their close friendship, she refrained from commenting further.
“Jonathan, I didn’t expect we would leave so early tomorrow. I need to return home and pack. first, Angela said regretfully.
At first, she thought she would only depart after several days. That was why she had leisurely come to inform Jonathan of the good news and deliver the lunch. But now, the news of them departing tomorrow almost caught her off guard as she didn’t expect it would be so soon.
Jonathan grabbed his suit jacket from the chair. As he put it on, he stated, “I’m getting off work early today. I’ll accompany you home to pack.”
Angela looked at him in disbelief, for she didn’t expect he would abruptly leave his work.

“Why are you standing there? Let’s go,” he urged.
Only then did Angela follow along in a daze.
Simon watched as the two left the office and adjusted his glasses.
Upon returning home, Jonathan earnestly helped Angela pack her luggage. He even took the time to tidy up his own belongings.
When she saw Jonathan place his suitcase next to hers, Angela inquired, “Are you already. packing, Jonathan?”
Jonathan confirmed, “Yes, I won’t keep you waiting long.
Angela blushed discreetly. The atmosphere between them was particularly mellow.
In contrast to the harmony at Springgate Estates, the Sanders Family and the Martinez Family were embroiled in a heated dispute.
After a brief investigation, Carlos found ample evidence that Christopher was still in contact with Fanny. He even had photos of Christopher visiting Fanny and embracing her as they entered a hotel a few days prior..
At that time, tears streamed down Fanny’s cheeks as she leaned on Christopher.
“We cannot proceed with this engagement!” Carlos furiously slammed the photos on the
table.
As for Sophia, she was both shocked and heartbroken when she saw the photos. Clinging to a glimmer of hope, she asked, “Dad, could these photos get mixed up? Could it be that they are from before?”
“Impossible! These were taken just a few days ago! You’ve been dating Christopher for so long. Yet, he’s still hooking up with that woman and even ‘taking her to a hotel!”
Carlos‘ anger was evident, and he continued, “I will handle this matter myself. You don’t need. to contact him anymore.”
Although the Martinez Family isn’t particularly prominent, we still hold some status in Riverdon. Since Christopher dares to treat my daughter like this, I shall show the Sanders Family that we are not to be trifled with.
Sophia wanted to respond, but Melissa stopped her.
Carlos left the house with the photo and went directly to confront Michael.

“Look at what your son has done. Michael, consider the engagement off.”
Regardless, Michael and I have known each other for decades. Although our relationship hasn’t been close in recent years, it’s still not worth ruining over a minor issue.
Besides, even though Michael’s second son is mediocre, his eldest son is Jonathan.
Jonathan is a prominent figure in Riverdon’s business industry. Even if I want to teach Michael a lesson, I still have to take Jonathan into consideration.
“Carlos, how can you call off the engagement so abruptly? W–Won’t it be seen as a joke now that everyone Riverdon is aware of our children’s relationship?”
Michael observed the photos on the table. Despite being upset with Christopher, he still hoped to mend the relationship.
He believed there was still a chance to salvage Christopher and Sophia’s engagement.
“A joke? Did your son ever consider that his actions might become a joke?” Carlos questioned coldly, clearly expressing his displeasure with Christopher.
Michael sighed and carefully examined the photos, asking, “When were these taken?”
With that, Carlos provided him with the time.
Upon hearing the time, Michael realized that Christopher must have sneaked out to meet Fanny behind his back, which fueled his anger and resentment.
“Wait here, Carlos. I will summon that ungrateful son to come and apologize and explain. himself to you.
Michael truly couldn’t comprehend what was going through Christopher’s mind. This son of mine simply fails in everything he does.
After uttering those words, he arranged for a servant to attend to Carlos and swiftly went upstairs.
