My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1184
The seconds ticked by slowly, and Richard had informed her that he would be home by 9.00PM, which
was only five minutes away. Moreover, he was a man of his word, and punctuality was typically his
Achilles heel. So, Angela was sure he would be home on the dot.
Angela spent the next five minutes slowly tasting the wine in her hand, then looked down as the minute
hand ticked slowly toward the number ’12’ on the face of the clock.
She sighed and tolerated Richard’s slight tardiness as long as he arrived home safely. She had just
begun to consider the possibility when she heard a soft beep from the door.
The audible beep signified that the fingerprint was successfully read. Angela immediately set down her
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtglass of wine and sprinted toward the door upon hearing the door open. A man was taking off his shoes
and putting on his slippers. It could only be Richard.
Angela’s lips curled into a smile as she approached him slowly and enticingly. She was proud that he
was a man of his word. She appreciated that he never abandoned her or made empty promises.
“Darling, I want a hug,” she whispered as she spread her arms wide and waited to be embraced. She
resembled a lonely kitten who was desperate for some attention.
Richard immediately removed his coat because he did not want the dust and dirt on it to get on his
precious wife. He gazed at her appreciatively before extending his arms to pull her into his embrace.
He pressed his cheek against hers and murmured next to her ear, “Have you been wearing this all
night? You’ll catch a cold.”
She tilted her head up and grinned mischievously at him. “Yes, but you’ll be around to take care of me.”
He pressed his forehead against hers and said, “I have no intention of letting you catch a cold.”
Angela was carried to the couch by Richard. She wrapped her arms around his neck, kissed him just
above his jawline, and mumbled softly, “I’ve missed you.”
“Let me first take a shower. I’ll return in a flash,” he spoke softly.
She clung to him stubbornly. “Don’t. I won’t mind, and besides, you’ll have to shower afterward
anyway,” she whispered coyly.
Richard gulped, and his breathing became a little heavier as he gazed down at Angela. It appeared that
she had missed him more than he had anticipated. “Did you really miss me that much?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I do,” Angela said, and her eyes curved into crescents. “I really missed you, Captain Lloyd.” She liked
addressing him as such because it alluded to the forbidden dynamic between them when he was
merely the stoic, expressionless military captain assigned to protect her.
The tension crackled in the air as she tilted her head and asked him mischievously, “Do you miss me,
too?”
If Richard could, he would rip his heart out and present it to her on a silver platter. He could not stop
thinking about her during his three-day outstation. Her absence had been agony for him. His usually
steely gaze softened as he looked at her indulgently and said, “Yes, I miss you very much, Mrs. Lloyd.”
“Bring me upstairs,” she commanded with a hushed tone.
He chuckled hoarsely. “I assume you don’t intend to give me a break.” He was proud that he could
make her want him so much and so desperately.
