One Night Surprise Novel

Chapter 432

Chapter 432 How Long Do You Plan to Keep This From Me?

It was slightly drizzling the next morning and the light rain made the scorching weather in Melrose City much cooler.

Courtney had sent Angie to the prison and was now waiting for Angie in the car.

In fact, Angie had visited the prison once in the past five years; it was during the mid-winter holiday two years ago that she had returned with Courtney to pay the Somerfield Family a visit. After all, she was Courtney’s adopted daughter and followed Tina to address Great-Aunt Alice in the same way.

Courtney had already intended to reveal the truth to Angie by that point, but after further consideration, she discovered that Angie wasn’t mature enough and might not be able to handle the shock of it. After a two-year wait and Lilian’s multiple disruptions, Courtney was much more inclined to consider Elijah’s position and carefully consider her next move before making a decision. As such, it was moments before she left to volunteer at the frontier station that she told Angie everything.

There was a thick layer of soundproof glass that separated the inmates and visitors inside the prison’s visiting room. The only method of communication was via a phone.

At this moment, Angie was rather restless as she sat on the chair and waited. The slightly smudged piece of glass had reflected her current appearance as Angie had previously requested Courtney to bring her to a salon to have the braids that she had maintained all these years removed. She was now dressed in a simple white T-shirt that she paired with a denim skirt and her silky, clean long hair complimented the attire.

After waiting for a short while, the prison guards finally escorted Regan into the room. He had lost a lot of weight as compared to before and she almost couldn’t recognize him.

Regan paused at the doorway for nearly two seconds and it was only when the shock on his face gradually dissipated that he made his way over with laden footsteps, after which he took a seat.

Angie kept her eyes on the middle-aged man in his prime years with mixed feelings and she tried her best to suppress the tears while signaling him to lift the phone receiver.

 

The voice on the other end sounded hoarse. “Why are you here? Why did you come all the way here? It’s a horrible place to be at. Did she mistreat you or something?”

Even though many years had passed, he still never bothered with any sappiness. The first thing that he did was demand an answer from Angie as to whether Courtney had taken good care of her.

“Courtney treats me very well.”
