The bride he never choose chapter 73
Chapter 73: The Question She Wasn't Ready to Answer The thought stayed with Angela all weekend. Children. A family. A future. She had spent so many years trying to survive that she'd never imagined what happiness might actually look like. Now... She couldn't stop imagining it. --- Monday morning... Angela arrived at Carter Holdings carrying a folder for Damian. His office door was slightly open. She was about to knock when she heard David speaking. "...the board is asking again." Damian looked up from the documents on his desk. "My answer hasn't changed." "They're worried." "They can worry." David hesitated. "Some investors think getting married would strengthen the company's public image." Damian closed the file in front of him. "I'm not getting married because shareholders think it's good for business." David smiled faintly. "I expected you'd say that." "I'm getting married one day..." Damian continued. "...because I love someone."

Chapter 72: What Love Looks Like The drive home was quiet. Angela rested the bouquet on her lap, absentmindedly brushing her fingers over the white roses. She looked out the window. "What are you thinking about?" Damian's voice broke the silence. She smiled. "I don't know." "That's not true." She laughed softly. "You know me too well." "I've been trying." Angela looked down at the bouquet. "When everyone started asking about marriage..." "I didn't panic." Damian kept his eyes on the road. "I'm glad." She turned to him. "You didn't ask why." "I don't need to." "When you're ready to tell me..." "You will." Angela smiled to herself. That was what she loved most about him. He never forced conversations. --- The next morning... Angela arrived at work earlier than usual. She found a small vase on her desk. Inside... The bouquet from the night before had been arranged beautifully. A handwritten note rested beside it. Thought the

Chapter 69: A Name from the PastTuesday morning...Angela had barely settled into her office when David knocked."You have a visitor."She looked up."I thought we agreed not to surprise me anymore."David smiled apologetically."This one refused to leave."Angela sighed."Who is it?""He says his name is Michael Brooks."The name hit her like a wave.Brooks.The surname she'd carried for most of her life."My... father?"David nodded."He says he raised you."---Five minutes later...Angela stepped into the reception lounge.A man in his sixties stood when he saw her.His clothes were simple.His hands were rough from years of work.His eyes filled with tears."My little girl..."Angela didn't move immediately.Then she walked over and hugged him."You came."Michael smiled through his tears."I wasn't sure I should.""I saw you on television.""You looked so happy."Angela pulled back."You'll always be my father."Michael's eyes dropped to the floor."I'm not your real father.""
