Angela was stunned for a few seconds when Richard instantly kept away his phone like that; were the texts so important that she couldn’t even steal a glance at them?
“Let’s go back!” He stood up and said.
“Was that a girl that texted you?” She raised her head and inquired.
Naturally, he did not need to answer her. Besides, he would call off his engagement with Annie once he returned. So, there was no need for Angela to know about it.
“Since you aren’t denying it, then it must be true! It seems like there are quite a few girls that like you!” Angela exclaimed ast she stood up, swinging the torch around and shining it into Richard’s eyes. Hel reached out his hand and blocked it before saying, “Be careful when you walk.”
She actually did that on purpose because she felt a little uncomfortable that other women were texting him. He was looking at the messages so seriously, and when she glanced at it just now, she noticed it
was a long text. That woman might be confessing to him.
And Angela’s guess was correct; Annie did send a long love-sick text to Richard!
Angela was strolling ahead as she was in no rush to go back. On the other hand, Richard was frowning as he trailed behind her. A woman’s heart was like glass; he did not know how he upset her.
As she was walking, she suddenly noticed a big black shadow on the treetops in front of her and scared her out of her wits. She immediately turned around and hugged the man behind her tightly. “T There’s a ghost.”
When he shone his torch in that direction, he saw that it was just a frightened monkey. Nevertheless, Angela still hugged him tightly, wishing she could hang herself on him.
“It’s just a monkey,” Richard lowered his voice and assured her.
At this moment, she also heard the monkey’s cries; that noise in the dark also
frightened her. Although she quickly let go of him, she did not dare to go far. Instead, she held onto his hand. “I’m scared. Let’s hold hands and walk.”
She didn’t care whether he was agreeable to her arrangement or not. Nonetheless, she felt that there was still too big of a gap between them when they held hands, so she grabbed his arm instead, her whole body leaning onto his.
Richard let out a sigh when he noticed that she was petrified. Therefore, he pulled away and offered, “I’ll carry you down.”
“Really?” Her eyes immediately lit up since that was what she really wanted.
He didn’t answer with words and merely squatted down in front of her as she made herself comfortable by lying on his back. She felt safe being carried down as she laid onto his broad back.
After that, the two worked together tacitly as Angela illuminated the road for him. It was not an easy task to carry her down the mountain, but Richard didn’t falter the whole time.
Although she enjoyed how he treated her, an envious thought grew in her. She thought that he would only carry one woman on his back in the future and no one else.
“Richard Lloyd, you didn’t answer my question!”
“What question?” Richard cocked his head slightly.
“If another female target who needs your protection suddenly shows up, and if she is young and beautiful, will you treat her like how you’re treating me?” Angela went to great lengths to come up with this hypothetical situation.
