Chapter 26 Get Something Nice
Angela was overwhelmed with guilt when she saw Quincy. She couldn’t help but reflect on how her
own foolishness in her previous life had burdened her cousin with guilt for the rest of his life. She
wanted to slap herself for it.
Quincy had been in love with a girl for many years, but Angela, in an attempt to match Joseph with the
girl, did her best to intervene. However, she later discovered that the girl actually had feelings for
Quincy. After marrying Joseph, their relationship became strained.
As Angela lowered her gaze and remained silent, Queenie thought that her words as the older sister
had hurt her. She quickly comforted her, “Angela, don’t be sad. Quincy is just in a bad mood. Actually,
he would love for you to move in, right, Quincy?” Queenie nudged her older brother with her elbow and
used her eyes to signal him to say something nice and comfort their sister.
Quincy coldly snorted as if he couldn’t see anything and expressionlessly went into the kitchen to help
their father.
Angela blinked. She didn’t mind Quincy’s attitude. Instead, she felt guilty. She felt responsible for
Quincy’s bad mood.
“Don’t mind him. He’s just being stubborn. Treating girls with such a bad attitude, it’s no wonder he’s in
his twenties and still can’t bring a girlfriend home.” Hecate glared at Quincy with disapproval in her
eyes, very dissatisfied with her son’s behavior.
When Quincy heard the word “girlfriend, his footsteps noticeably paused, but it was only for a moment.
He then continued with his long strides and quickly entered the kitchen.
Queenie leaned closer to Angela and whispered, “My brother is in a bad mood. It seems like the girl he
likes has a boyfriend” Angela lowered her gaze, her face turning pale.
Donald’s family didn’t know the situation, but she knew it very well. Quincy liked Felicia, and her
boyfriend was Joseph Joseph, whom she had tried so hard to match with. She had taken away the girl
her cousin liked, and her cousin only gave her the cold shoulder. He didn’t kick her out, which was
considered showing mercy. Angela bit her lip and remained silent. Her big, bright, watery eyes
flickered. They were not married yet, so she didn’t know if there was still time to win Felicia back from
Joseph!
The dishes were all served, and the table was filled with dishes that Angela liked to eat. She was so
touched that she didn’t know what to say. It had been three years, but Donald still remembered her
favorite dishes.
Emilia Langdon looked at the table full of dishes and couldn’t help but frown and scold Donald.
“How many times have I told you not to cook so many dishes at night? If you can’t finish them, they will
go
to waste. Such a waste!”
After a pause, Emilia continued, “You young people haven’t experienced any hardships. You don’t
know
the shame of wasting. In our time, we couldn’t even have enough to eat. Now that times are better, we
shouldn’t waste good food like this!”
Donald nodded repeatedly and hurriedly explained, “Mom, I made all these dishes because Angela
came over, and Queenie and Quincy also came back for a visit. It’s not easy for them, so I thought of
making more dishes. It won’t go to waste.”

Although he said that, Emilia still had a stern face. Making so many delicious dishes, how much money
would it cost? With one more person, there would be more expenses. Angela would have to provide for
herself while staying here. She couldn’t just eat, drink, and live for free.
Hecate served a bowl of chicken soup for Angela and reminded her, “Be careful, you’re so thin. You
need to drink more chicken soup to nourish yourself.” Knowing that Angela had suffered a lot in the
Kins Family, Hecate went to the market early in the morning and bought an old hen. She added red
dates and wolfberries and stewed them for several hours. The aroma alone was particularly
appetizing.
Angela delicately sipped the chicken soup with a spoon and smiled, complimenting. “Auntie, your
cooking skills have improved greatly. This chicken soup is delicious.”
Upon receiving praise, Hecate generously added a ladleful of chicken soup to Angela’s bowl and said,
“If it’s delicious, have some more. There’s plenty left.”
Quincy silently continued eating, but upon hearing Angela’s flattering words, he couldn’t help but sneer
a few times.
Hecate, now angry, glared at her son. “Why are you being so sarcastic?”
Quincy’s tone was cold and filled with disdain as he replied, “She should have more, especially to
nourish her brain so she won’t become even more foolish. As he finished speaking, a hint of pain
flashed in Quincy’s black eyes.
Donald’s family stared at Quincy in disbelief, shocked by his hurtful words.
Angela nervously gripped her cutlery, her face turning red. She took a deep breath and looked at
Quincy.
“Quincy, I’m sorry. I was wrong about that matter. I will explain it clearly to Felicia.” She accepted the
consequences of her actions, even if it meant being scolded or hit by Quincy,
Quincy coldly smiled, “No need!”
Their son had always been exceptional since childhood, and they never needed to control him. Hecate
couldn’t control him either. She looked around anxiously and said, “Quincy, Angela is still young. As her
older cousin, you should guide her when she makes mistakes. Don’t use hurtful words.”
Quincy pursed his lips and ignored his mother’s words. “I’m full. I’m going back to the office first.” With
that, he walked away.
Hecate sighed and turned to comfort Angela, “Angela, don’t be angry. Quincy has a temper, but he still
cares about you. I’ll make him apologize to you when he comes back!”
Angela smiled awkwardly. Hecate favored her, but how could she ask Quincy to apologize? “Aunt
Hecate, what Quincy said is correct. I was indeed foolish and made numerous mistakes,” Angela
apologized with a sense of guilt.
Hecate gazed at Angela affectionately and served her food, encouraging her to eat more. After
finishing the meal, Angela and Queenie wanted to help with the dishes. However, Hecate waved her Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
hand and hurried the younger ones out of the kitchen to watch TV.
As they entered the living room, Angela’s phone in her pocket began to ring. Angela took it out and glanced at the caller ID. It was her estranged father calling. Receiving a call at this time, she didn’t
know what it could be about, but it surely wouldn’t bring good news because, in the Kins Family, good
things

never came her way. She turned and went to the balcony to answer the call. Just as she pressed the
answer burton, George’s angry voice came from the other side. “Angela, you’re becoming more
audacious. Why didn’t you consult with us before transferring faculties? Do you still have any respect
for me as your father?”
It seemed that the counselor had already informed George about her plan to transfer faculties. Angela’s
expression turned cold. She rubbed her car and ended the call immediately. No matter how much she
had explained in the past, they wouldn’t believe her. They trampled on her dignity, taking advantage of
her care for them. Now, she didn’t care about any of those people. For those she didn’t care about,
Angela didn’t want to waste her time dealing with them.
After ending the call, she turned and saw Donald standing at the door, looking at her with concern. “Was that your dad?”
She nodded, unsure of how much Donald had overheard.
Donald furrowed his brow and asked in a deep voice. “Does he always speak to you in that manner
and with that attitude?” Although he knew that Angela didn’t have a good life in the Kins Family and
that the Kins Family treated her poorly, hearing George curse at his daughter as if he held a grudge
against her. Donald felt a pang of unease in his heart.
She is such a good girl, so why does she seem like trash in George’s eyes? George took out an old
leather wallet and pulled out two one–dollar bills, placing them in Angela’s hand. “Take this money and
buy yourself something delicious, Look at how thin you’ve become. You’re like a stick.”
Angela looked at the money, feeling both amused and tearful. “Is this your secret stash?”
