The Rise Of Nathalia Carter Chapter 839

He used to treat Angelo so well.
Angelo cried for a while when her phone rang. It was from Drake.
She thought Drake changed his mind and pressed the answer button with her trembling finger.
"Where are you?" asked Drake.
Angelo stayed and recalled that the name of the caller was "brother."
"I…"
As soon as she uttered a word, she hurried to shut up because her voice was husky with crying.
Drake heard her and felt that there must be something wrong with her, so he asked again, "What's wrong?"
Angelo thought about it, cleared her throat, and tried to answer in a normal tone, "I'm with my sister. She got an award today. I came to congratulate her, but…."
But she didn't expect Drake to give her such a big "surprise".
There was no sound from Drake, but Angelo kept the last trace of expectation, which was soon broken by Drake.
"When will you come back?" he asked.
For Angeline, his fiancée, he didn't mention anything.
Sitting there, Angelo couldn't help crying, tears fell from her eyes.
She didn't speak for fear of exposing herself.
At the other end, there was no sound either. Finally, Daisy came to explain something to Drake and ended the call.
"I told him that you would go back tomorrow. Can you?" Daisy looked at Angelo with hesitation in her eyes. If Angelo didn't want to expose herself, she should go back tomorrow.
Angelo nodded. What could she else do? Drake didn't love Angeline, but he cared about his brother Angelo.
Angelo couldn't understand it. It was the same face. Why did Drake indulge his brother but hurt Angeline again and again?
It was late. Angelo looked at the dark outside the window quietly until the dawn came.

She should go back to the Thorne house.
Maybe for the fame of Angeline, Drake didn't announce his decision of the dissolution of engagement.
However, Angelo posted Twitter as Angeline. In it, she thanked the support of the public and then said that she needed to take a rest for some time since too many things had happened these days.
Netizens were guessing what happened to her. As they thought, she was very popular, and she should take the chance to take more movies rather than disappearing.
***
Angelo was standing in the yard of the Thorne house. Her eyes were swollen, but she could do nothing about it.
Hale came to open the gate for her and saw her pathetic face. He was kind of worried, "Are you all right, Angelo?"
Angelo shook her head. She had to be "fine."
Just as she walked to the door to the house, the door was opened from inside. Drake appeared in front of her. Looking at him, she recalled his indifferent look yesterday and felt painful.
"Good morning, brother…." Angelo greeted him.
She had prepared herself to face him but now facing Drake, she suddenly collapsed.
"You knew it, did you?" Drake suddenly said.
Angelo knew what he was talking about and nodded.
"Yeah. She's very sad. I cried for the whole night with her."
"She's sad. Why?" asked Drake confusedly.
Angelo looked up, didn't understand why he asked that.
"She has wanted to end the engagement, hasn't she?" asked Drake again. But Angelo smiled bitterly. Yeah. She had wished to end the engagement, but Drake didn't agree. Finally, she convinced herself to try to love him again but was abandoned again.
"Who knows?" Angelo looked down and walked past Drake. She felt so tired, even just facing Drake.

Looking at the figure of Angelo going upstairs, Drake frowned. He broke off his engagement with Angeline because he finally figured out who he loved, so he didn't want to take Angeline as a replacement. He thought it unfair to either of them.
But Angelo looked so disappointed at him now and might think he used to cheat Angeline. Anyway, they were brother and sister.
Hale saw Drake standing there for so long and came to ask, "Are you going to the company, Mr. Drake?"
"Yeah."
Upstairs, Angelo saw Drake get in the car, which then left the yard slowly, and she felt more painful.
Sure enough, the dissolution of the engagement was not a big deal for Drake. It wouldn't affect him doing anything.
While she lost in despair, Jeremy called. She answered it and heard his voice, "Are you all right, Angeline?"
He sounded quite worried. Angelo knew that it might be for Twitter. So, she sorted her mind and said, "I'm fine. I just want to take a rest first."
"Well, that's good. I thought…"
"Thought what?" asked Angelo confusedly.
"Nothing. You take a rest. I won't bother you."
After that, he hung up. Angelo felt weird. Jeremy must have called for something, but why didn't he say it.
Then, Angelo took out the ID card used when she was Angeline and put it in a drawer for fear of exposing herself if she received more calls from her colleagues.
At the other end, Jeremy was more confused than Angelo. A while ago, Christina announced to give Angeline a difficult time, which he kept in his mind, so he had been remaining vigilant in case Christina hurt Angelo.
He had thought that Christina would do it at the award ceremony, which had been held yesterday. But nothing happened until Angelo and Drake left.
Would Christina wait longer?
Thinking of that, Jeremy felt a headache. So, he decided to call Christina.
Christina was putting on her makeup for a new movie. "Just say it. I'm busy," she said in an impolite tone.
Jeremy paused. Christina was just a supporting actress in the last movie, but she was even as popular as Angeline. There were many fans of her and Angeline, imaging them as a couple.
Last night at the ceremony, their seats were next to each other. The photos of them being together aroused a hot debate on the Internet.
Jeremy stayed for a second before asking, "What are you going to do with Angeline?"
But the reply of Christina was just a sneer, "I'm swamped now. I have no time for her. Besides…" she continued in a cheerful voice, "Drake has broken off his engagement to her. I won't bother to do anything to such a weak enemy."
Breaking off the engagement?
