“Why don’t you give the car to me, and I’ll drive it back?” Angela asked bravely.

rain came pouring down all of a sudden.
“Hurry up and get in the car,” the man in the car ordered in a low voice. Was she trying to get herself

door and went inside without sparing the man in the back seat a glance.

sound of him tapping the keyboard and his small sighs.
“Didn’t you leave on a mission? Why are you still here?” Angela asked angrily,
“I thought you didn’t want to see me?” Richard fixed his gaze on the screen, asking without raising his
head.
“I just said we shouldn’t meet. I didn’t mean to drive you out of the base.” Angela wondered if he had
spent the past few days in the small town. Where did he sleep? How were his meals? Had he stayed in
this car the entire time? At the thought, she turned to cast him a pained glance, but she saw that his
shirt was clean and tidy, and he didn’t look like he had been staying in the car.

some water. Hence, she had no choice but to ask, “Is there any water in your car?”

her. When Angela saw that it was his glass, she suddenly stiffened for a few seconds. “I was talking
about mineral water.”

cards, there wasn’t any money left inside. She didn’t have any spare change as well, for she had given

Richard paused in surprise for a few moments before he retrieved his wallet from his pocket and took
out a hundred dollar bill. He then handed it to her.
I’ll return it to you someday,” Angela replied as she took the money from him.
Richard glanced at her and said indifferently, “You don’t have to.”
“I will. I don’t want to owe you a favor.” Angela really wanted to cut off all ties with him at this moment,
and she would settle everything with him.
Richard was so furious that he pushed his tongue against the inside of his cheek and glared at the
back of her head irritably. This woman’s behavior always made him angry.
However, Angela took his money and goi out of the car in the rain to buy some water. After a while, she
came back with a bottle of water and the change. Her bangs got wet, and she combed her long hair
away before she unscrewed the cap and drank from the bottle.
