“It’s not that big of a deal. When my mother married my father overseas, she didn’t keep in contact with her friends I family over here. When I returned to Oceanford, I had to visit her relatives. They were very enthusiastic, so I could only come here now,” Gregory explained.
He smiled and scratched the back of his head.
“My cousin wanted me to make a Genealogy Book for his girlfriend.”
“Was the handsome guy who dropped you off earlier your cousin?”
Alva’s eyes
lit up.
“That’s my cousin,” Gregory replied with a smile.
“What a shame!”
Alva looked upset.
“He’s so handsome, but he’s already taken!”
“Really? Is he very handsome?”
Marion leaned in eagerly. Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
“How does that have anything to do with you? You’re pregnant!”
Reese rolled his eyes at her.
Meanwhile, Angeline instinctively placed a hand on her belly when she heard what Reese said. She looked uncomfortable.
“Let’s enter the laboratory.”
Reese put on his lab coat and noticed Angeline’s pale face.
“Are you feeling unwell? If you’re feeling sick, go back to the dormitory. Don’t force yourself to work.”
Everyone in the research team knew she wouldn’t speak up even if she was sick.
“I’m fine.”
Angeline smiled.
“I sent Henrietta to school today and was busy yesterday, so I couldn’t get enough rest. I’ll be fine after a cup of coffee.”
Angeline stayed in the laboratory until noon. She didn’t feel like eating, so she sat outside the laboratory’s entrance. Angeline closed her eyes and tried to figure out her next move.

When she felt someone sit beside her, she opened her eyes.
Gregory smiled and handed Angeline a bottle of milk.
“You sat here for so long without eating. Have some milk.”
“Thank you.”
Angeline took the bottle of milk.
“You should head back first. I’ll return soon.”
“It’s fine. I’m waiting for my cousin here. I left my laptop in his car. He’s delivering it to me
now.”
Gregory beamed. He had a fair complexion and curly hair. He looked youthful and handsome.
After that, the sound of car wheels driving over a manhole cover was heard. A black SUV stopped outside the laboratory building.
Then, the door to the passenger seat was pushed open. Someone wearing long black boots stepped out of the car. Ned crossed his arms and waved a laptop at Gregory.
“Gregory!”
Meanwhile, Angeline’s grip on her bottle tightened.
Ned had evidently caught sight of her as well.
Angeline was stunned when their eyes met.
She didn’t expect him to be Gregory’s cousin.
Although she had lived with the Fletchers for so long, she had never once met Gregory.
Angeline fell out of love with Ned when Anne passed away.
There was only guilt remaining.
She regretted loving Ned and regretted bringing him back to River Town.
Angeline saw the footage of the accident and knew Ned wanted to save Anne.
However, she was unable to come to terms with it.
“I’m here!”
Gregory waved at Ned. He remained seated and made no move to stand up.
Soon, Ned stopped looking at Angeline. He ignored her as if she was a stranger and passed the laptop to Gregory.
“You’re too lazy!” Ned complained.
“I was too busy preparing the Genealogy Book for your future wife. You’ve only walked a few steps to pass me the laptop. Be careful, or I’ll complain to your fiancée about this,” Gregory replied.
“I’m heading back to the laboratory.”
Angeline stood up.
“Thank you for the milk.”
She hadn’t expected to meet Ned again after the accident.
