Chapter 73 First Sight
Chapter 73 First Sight
Angelia was startled and turned back in shock.
“You…”
Echo gave her a smile.
“Did you really forget about me? Didn’t you promise me that you will listen to my singing when you
were a kid?”
Angelia’s eyes widened.
“Brother Echo…When did you recognize me?”
“I knew it was you from the first sight I saw you.”
Angelia took a step forward, said disappointedly, “I’ve shown up in front of you so many times, but I
didn’t expect that you couldn’t recognize me.”
“I recognized you, but…”
Angelia grabbed on her skirt, said embarrassedly, “I’m not Angelia now.”
Echo gazed at the person in front of her.
Ever since he left the orphanage, he had been working hard for his goal, and he had always wanted to
leave the best seat for her when he succeeded.
But he didn’t expect that they would meet at such scene when he returned.
He reached out his hand to pull Angelia and whispered, “I don’t know why you’re hiding your identity,
but is it something to do with the orphanage?”
Angelia hesitated for a moment and nodded.
If there was anyone in the world who could protect the orphanage with him, it must be Echo.
“The orphanage is going to be torn down.”
“I know.”
Echo had been investigating the orphanage and Angelia over the past few days, and he could vaguely
guess the connection in between.
Angelia continued, “I have made a deal with Randall, as long as I substitute for Claudia until she
returns, he won’t tear down the orphanage.”
“You trust him?”
Echo was a little suspicious as Randall was a cunning man.
Once the villa done building, it would bring him a great fortune, how could he really give it up?
Angelia of course knew about this, but there’s no other way.
“I can only trust him.”
Echo recalled Jonathan’s attitude toward Angelia that day and frowned in dissatisfaction.
There’s many rumours about Jonathan, but almost none of them were good.
If he continued to let Angelia stay by his side, she would get hurt sooner or later.
“But when can Claudia return?”
“I don’t know, but I’ve found some clues.”
Angelia quickly took out her phone and showed him the photo she took from Claudia’s computer.
“They went to S city.”
Echo took a closer look at it.
There was only purchase history on it, but if they checked the flight schedule, there might be a way.
“I’ll check for you. As long as she’s back, you can leave Jonathan, right?”
Angelia opened her mouth, and suddenly she felt a slight pain from her shoulder which she had been
neglected.
The image of Jonathan carefully applied the ointment for her involuntarily flashed in her mind.
She gritted her teeth and nodded, clearing the image from her mind.
“Yes.”
But Echo didn’t notice the imperceptible hesitation in her tone.
He was determined to get Angelia away from Jonathan. Even if the orphanage was demolished, he
could rebuild a bigger and nicer orphanage.
By then, he could truly protect Angelia.
Just as he promised when he was a kid.
He held her hand tightly, with his gaze flowing with intense affection.
“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely find Claudia.”
Angelia’s heart was in a panic, she didn’t notice Echo’s feeling for her.
“Alright…”
When Angelia returned to classroom, the others were discussing about Echo.
In the afternoon, the school announced the activities for the anniversary event, the most remarkable
activity was the stage play by Echo!
Tickets were sold out in just a few minutes, those who couldn’t get the tickets thought of helping out at
the backstage.
Angelia submitted her registration form, the class president had a look and said surprisingly, “You also
sign up for the stage play? I heard that almost all the girls in the school have signed up, but they only
need 10 of them, do you want to try another one?”
“No, this one will do.”
The class president shook his head.
“Everyone wants to get in, how could it be that easy.”
A few of girls glanced at her when they heard that Angelia was going to help out at the backstage.
“Didn’t they say she is an acquaintance of Echo? How come she doesn’t even have a ticket?”
“Stop it, aren’t you scared of being expelled from the school tomorrow?”
Someone said with a sarcastic tone, “Of course I’m scared, someone has people got her back.”
Saying that, the girls laughed out.
Angela was sitting beside, she stood up and raised her voice when she heard the girls’ words.
“I just bought five tickets, there are three more seats left. Does anyone want to go?”
Everyone ran over and surrounded her when they heard her words.
“I want! I want! Angela, you’re really awesome to be able to get five slots!”
“But there’re two more left, who are you going with? Are you going with your boyfriend?”
The girls laughed playfully and Angela got all the attention.
Angela’s face blushed slightly, looking shy.
“He’s not my boyfriend yet…”
The girls refused to stop and continued asking, “Could it be Mr. Miller?”
“Stop talking nonsense, you girls…”
The girls burst into laughter, concluding that that Angela’s ticket was reserved for Jonathan.
Angelia couldn’t help but frown, she stood up and turned to walk off.
Angela glanced at her and called out to her.
“Wait, do you want me to give you a ticket as well?”
“No need.”
Angelia walked straight out after she finished her words.
The girls once again scoffed at her after she left.
“What an attitude! No wonder Mr. Miller doesn’t get his eyes on her!”
“I’ve long heard about the rumours saying that she was able to marry to the Millers because she used
some dirty tricks.”
“I think Mr. Miller will kick her out one day and Angela is the real Mrs. Miller.”
Angela smiled but didn’t speak, her gaze dropped on the side face of Echo on the tickets. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
This Echo should be the one who used to be with Angelia when she was at the orphanage right?
If this was the case, she sure had to invite Jonathan to watch the stage play in person.
The next day, the ten candidates to help out at the backstage were elected, perhaps Echo did interfere
in the selection, Angelia was actually among them.
After class, those who were selected stood excitedly in the performance hall.
“I heard that Echo will come over today!”
“Not only that, he’s coming over for rehearsals for these few days! We can see him every day!”
“Yes, I have my camera all ready to go.”
Angelia stood at the last position, bowing her head to send a message to Steward, telling him to pick
her up at a later time.
Unconsciously, the surroundings became quiet and Angelia looked up curiously.
She saw someone walking out on the stage.
It was a man wearing a white court suit with a sword hanging on his waist, his slender legs were
wrapped in off-white pants. He looked handsome and elegant.
The press had once published that no one was better suited to be a celebrity than Echo, he seemed to
be born to perform.
And right now, Angelia completely agreed with that.
The light shone from his head, making the smile on his lips appeared even more charming.
Echo looked around and slowly walked to the front of Angelia.
Placing one hand on his chest, he bent down reverently amidst the squeals of the crowd.
“Good afternoon, my princess.”
