Love and Devotion No Longer His to Claim by Dream Fish

Chapter 342

Dexter's sulky yet handsome face finally softened a bit. He shot Angela a glare, muttering, "I thought you really had no conscience."

Angela ignored him, had someone put away the gown, and headed outside the banquet hall to welcome the guests.

Finn and Callum arrived together. The two brothers exchanged pleasantries with Angela in the foyer, but midway through their conversation, they suddenly fell silent.

Angela turned her head and, sure enough, saw Dexter standing behind her like a stone-faced guardian, his expression both arrogant and wary.

She quickly ushered Finn and Callum inside, then dragged Dexter to a secluded

corner.

"What are you doing? Why are you walking around showing people your grumpy expression? What did they ever do to you?" Angela scolded him with a stern expression.

With a pout, Dexter replied honestly, "I just don't like them. This isn't a recent thing. How could you not know?"

On the surface, he acted defiantly, but deep down, he felt oddly pleased.

He was delighted that Angela would show him different sides of her while she only smiled at everyone else. Didn't that count as special treatment?

"You either fix that sour look or leave-I'll have your seat removed. Your choice!"

Angela had no interest in analyzing his micro-expressions. If anything, she felt the urge to punch that perfectly styled head of his.
