Love and Devotion No Longer His to Claim by Dream Fish

Chapter 341

The company's anniversary celebration was approaching, and Clara had called to report on the progress of the venue decorations.

Angela held her phone slightly further away to see the screen better. "Tell them to use less flowers and plants. We're celebrating an anniversary, not opening a flower shop. And can we change the balloon colors? There's too much red-it's too harsh and will look tacky in photos."

Clara listened carefully, giving instructions to the staff as she went. The call lasted over 20 minutes before she finally asked about the guest list.

She wanted to know who Angela wanted to invite from her side.

By then, the seafood pasta had arrived, topped with two plump, orange shrimp that looked incredibly tantalizing.

Angela took a bite before answering, "Let me think... Then, Mr. Callum Snowden, for sure. Also, Finn, Mia, Madam Fiona, and Mr. Bamford Sr. That's all."

Across from her, Dexter let out two pointed coughs.

Only then did Angela realize her oversight. With a sigh of resignation, she said, "And add Dexter to the list too."

Only then did a certain someone look satisfied.

"I'm your husband in name. Aren't you afraid people will gossip and question your integrity if you don't invite me?" Dexter huffed, looking as if he couldn't believe how underappreciated he was.

The exasperated Angela let out a long, weary sigh.
