Chapter 24 Nice To Meet You Uncle Keith

Chapter 24 Nice To Meet You Uncle Keith

Abraham wondered why it seemed that there was something wrong with Angelina since she got downstairs.

But after happening to see Angelina gazing at Keith wonderingly, Abraham knew why.

Abraham coughed lightly and said, "Angie, come and say hello to your elder."

Angelina was extremely stunneed after knowing that Keith was her elder.

She asked in a state of shock, "Elder... Elder?"

The shock in her eyes was so obvious that even Herman and Kristin turned to look at her.

Kristin said with a smile, "Angie, you belong to the same generation as Ishmael, while Keith is indeed your elder although you and he are similar in age."

Abraham echoed, "Keith is your elder."

Abraham looked at his own granddaughter who was shocked, and smiled kindly, "Angie, you're supposed to call him Uncle Keith."

Uncle... Uncle Keith?

Uncle Keith??

Uncle???

He was Ishmael's uncle?

She finally found the truth behind the mystery.

The "Ishmael" she knew and the real "Ishmael" had the same surname, Fuller, because the former was the latter's uncle!

So she mistook Ishmael for someone else from the beginning. She flirted with the wrong man, and the wrong man was an uncle of her "future husband".

Ah! Hah!

Unable to bear this unbelievable truth, Angelina almost lost her ability to think.

What had she done?!

She asked Uncle Keith if he was satisfied before!

And she unbuttoned Uncle Keith's shirt and followed him into that hotel room.

And after she was taken to the hospital by Uncle Keith, she badgered him into applying ointment for her.

And she was about to fulfill her promise that she would marry him if he was not Ishmael.

God! At the thought of that, she felt extremely embarrassed all of a sudden...

What an embarrassing fact it was!

Abraham coughed lightly to remind Angelina not to forget herself.

Angelina regained her composure but still didn't have the courage to look up at Keith. She had to greet in a trembling and low voice, "Nice to meet you, Uncle... Uncle Keith..."

She really resisted calling him Uncle Keith!

It was too hard.

Unlike Angelina, Keith seemed to have already anticipated this situation earlier, so he looked much calmer.

He raised his eyebrows lightly and asked in a relaxed and natural tone, "Miss Jefferson, you look very nervous?"

Angelina flicked a nervous glance at him accidentally and then quickly looked away, replying in a low voice, "No... I'm not nervous..."

Keith gazed at her nervous look and chuckled softly, "Having a seat will help you relax a little. Why not drink some water to collect yourself?"

Angelina didn't know why she was so nervous that her movements were a bit stiff when she sat down.

Luckily, sitting down did make her calm down a little.

But she still didn't get out of what had happened!

It was too scary!

Seeing the strange atmosphere between Angelina and Keith, Abraham was somewhat puzzled, asking, "Keith told me you have seen each other before. Why do you still look surprised?" Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Angelina just took a sip of tea, but she was a liitle choked upon hearing Abraham's words.

She suddenly blushed and couldn't help coughing lightly.

Alan, who was standing next to her, quickly handed her a tissue and reminded, "Miss Angelina, take it easy."

Angelina was a bit flustered and looked up at Keith with some blame in her eyes.

Had he told her grandfather everything happened between them?!!

She had never felt so humiliated.

That was too embarrassing!

Abraham looked worried and helpless, asking, "How could you choke on water? Do you feel better now?"

Keith said with a deep smile, "Miss Jefferson may not know my identity. She maybe didn't expect that I would be her elder."

When saying the word "elder", Keith deliberately paused for a short while.

Upon hearing that, Abraham smiled, "Keith, you are indeed a promising young man. Your father would be very happy to learn about it."

Then Abraham asked Keith, "Are you going to stay and develop in the Capital City?"

Keith nodded lightly and said gently, "There are many matters that should be handled in the foreign part of the Group, but currently the domestic part is the top priority."

Hearing that they moved on to other topics, Angelina was able to quietly calm herself down.

But the next minute, the most "thrilling" thing she had never encountered before happened, and she even didn't have time to react, as if a bolt of thunder struck her on the head.

It was that Abraham began to talk about Ishmael!

Abraham asked, "Is Ishmael also working at the Fuller Group?"

Herman sighed, "Yes. His mother and I would be at ease if he could have half the work ability of Keith."

Abraham chuckled softly and said, "Don't worry. Time will tell. Ishmael is still young. So is Angie."

Then he said to Herman, "Children of our two families getting marriled is your father's last wish and he actually hopes the marriage will do good to our children. However, since the children think it is not suitable, why not break off the engagement? Our friendship will never disappear despite of the cancellation of the engagement."

Herman replied, "You are right. My wife and I like Angie very much. My wife has always wanted Angie to marry into our family, but unfortunately, Ishmael and Angie are not meant to be together."

Kristin was actually unwilling to break off the engagement.

The Jefferson family was one of the top wealthy families in the Jansberg City. Abraham was a renowned senior leader, and Angelina was Abranham's granddaughter, a total wealthy and elegant woman.

While the girlfriend of Ishmael was pretentious and had a phoney family background, which made Kristin didn't like her at all.

But Ishmael badgered Kristin into accepting his girlfriend, so Kristin had no choice but to agree with Ishmael.

Herman apologized, "I originally wanted Ishmael to take time to know Angie better. But Ishmael was really impatient and unpolite. I hope Uncle Abraham and Angie don't take it too seriously."

Abraham actually heard about Ishmael's love story.

That was why he agreed to cancel the engagement. He didn't want Angelina to be wronged.

Abraham waved his hand and said, "It's okay. It's just a peaceful cancellation of the engagement of Angie and Ishmael. No one will be to blame. It's just fate."

"That's right. Let's do as Uncle Abraham said."

Angelina listened to them aside and then saw Alan bring a box that had been sealed for many years.

In it was the engagement signed by Abraham and Henry years ago.

The engagement said that Angelina and Ishmael were bound to get married when they grew up.

After taking a glance at the engagement, Abraham folded it and then tore it in half.

"This half is Ishmael's, and I'll keep the other half for Angelina."

Herman said, "Alas. Okay."

Kristin was still a bit reluctant to break off the engagement when she saw the engagement was torn up, sighing, "I was thinking about having the opportunity to go shopping with Angie."

Angelina said politely with a smile, "Auntie, if you want to go shopping, it's okay for me to accompany you at any time."

Kristin really had a good impression of Angelina, saying, "I have an idea! Why don't you be my goddaughter? I have always wanted a daughter. You know what. The more I look at you, the more I like you!"

She added, "Since there is no such thing as an engagement now, it's probably okay for Angelina to be my goddaughter."

Goddaughter?

That meant Angelina could become a member of the Fuller family.

Keith would be her uncle and they were unrelated by blood?

Upon hearing that, Keith said with some elusive meaning in his eyes, "It's not that appropriate."
