Chapter 17
"You're so useless, Dexter. You can't even help someone up properly! I still don't know what Angie saw in you. Oh right, I was the one who arranged your marriage, after all.
"Without my aid, how would you have been lucky enough to marry such a beautiful and outstanding wife like Angie? You should count your blessings..."
Joseph went on and on, scolding Dexter endlessly. Dexter had no choice but to listen, and it
was torturous.
"Grandpa, don't bother with him. Let's go. I'll make you your favorite bouillabaisse and grilled fish." Angela took Joseph's arm and led him away, giving Dexter an exaggerated eyeroll over her shoulder as she went.
Dexter was furious, yet he had nowhere to vent.
That night, Angela retreated to her bedroom early and locked the door. With Joseph gone, she had temporarily lost her protector and couldn't afford to provoke Dexter too much.
"Mrs. Bamford, Mr. Bamford has gone out. You're free to come out." Donna's voice came from the other side of the door.
Angela felt a rush of relief but remained cautious. She peered through the peephole and saw that there was indeed only Donna outside. Instantly, she relaxed upon learning that Dexter wasn't around.
"Where did he go?" she asked as she stepped into the living room.
Donna shrugged and replied, "I heard someone arranged a last-minute gathering and invited Mr. Bamford over. I don't know the details."
"Who cares,” Angela muttered.
Suddenly, an idea came to her. "Donna, I'll write you a list-please buy these items for me as quickly as possible."
Sometimes, when inspiration struck, she had to draw immediately, or the moment would pass. Angela had been in an excellent creative state lately. She had just come up with an idea for her latest artwork.
It would be a portrait of Joseph. Angela intended to give it to him to make him happy.
Donna returned quickly with everything on the list.
Angela took a shower and changed into her pajamas. She set up her new streaming equipment on her desk and spread out the paper.
It was going to be a long night.
