At that moment, she wished to get away from him as far as possible. She turned her face in the other
direction dejectedly and said, “Richard, can you send someone else to protect me? I don’t need your
protection.”
“Why?” the man next to her asked in a hoarse voice.
Angela tried hard to suppress her emotions but suddenly, she broke down upon hearing his words. Her
voice broke as she sobbed, “Because I don’t want to see you.”
After she had said that, she lifted her hand to swipe at the tears on her face.
At that point, there was a stunned expression on Richard’s handsome face and he gently pressed his
large palms against her shoulders. However, she didn’t turn around to look at him but shifted her body
and maintained a distance from him.
Finally, Richard realized the severity of the situation so he stood up abruptly and came to her side.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtUnder the lights, Angela’s eyes were filled with tears and as she pursed her lips, her expression was
full of desolation.
He felt a pang in his heart and his expression was one of anxiousness. Instinctively, he squatted down
and reached out to stroke her face. Startled, she trembled slightly and looked at him confusedly until
she realized that his rough fingers were indeed stroking her cheeks.
She was stunned in place and she wondered if this was a dream. Is this man actually wiping away my
tears for me?
“Y-You should leave.” Angela realized that she should not let him continue doing
that. After all, the woman he loved was there so he should not behave so intimately with her.
Suddenly, Richard heaved a sigh. Subsequently, he stretched his arms and tugged her.
An unsuspecting Angela was pulled up from her seat and her teary face bumped against his firm chest.
She felt a firm arm wrapping itself around her waist and the back of her head was also firmly pressed.
She was forced to remain in his arms with no other option.
“You… Richard, let go of me…” She felt then that he was such a sc*mbag.
His girlfriend was by his side and yet he was here taking the initiative to pursue her. Does he want me
to become a sc*mbag like him?
“Are you dumb?” Suddenly, there was a low voice that rang out from above her head chidingly.
Angela was instantly angered. How dare he scold me! She struggled hard to lift her head and as she
did that, she met his dark
eyes full of annoyance and frustration.
However, she didn’t realize that underneath all that, there was some other much more complicated
emotion hidden behind his eyes. He seemed to be trying hard to suppress his urges.
Her eyes glittered with tears and to him, that triggered his anger very much.
Richard was quite tempted to rap her on the forehead as he narrowed his eyes with annoyance. “You

easily spilled?”
She found herself at a loss for words. What is he on about? I don’t get it!
“Richard, what the heck are you trying to say? Just get straight to the point. Don’t beat around the bush
because I wouldn’t get it. Also, don’t you dare to scold me.” Angela flared up all of a sudden. She didn’t
wish to appear as a clueless bimbo in front of him.
“Ariel just arrived at the base today and similarly, she is one of the people under protection to avoid
triggering a sensitive matter. I didn’t even know her at all before this,” Richard explained in a low voice.
At that moment, Angela was rendered mind-blown and she remained in a dazed state for several
seconds before covering her face with both hands out of embarrassment.
She screamed repeatedly in her mind, I should just disappear from the face of this earth! This is so
mortifying! Why do I keep doing such stupid, thoughtless things in front of him?
