Chapter 905
As soon as she confessed, Angela watched Richard‘s side profile as she waited for his answer.
She waited for three seconds, ten seconds, a minute...
Three minutes...
They were already almost at the bottom of the mountain, yet he hadn‘t even answered her.
At this point, she had given up. When she noticed that the ground was flat, she couldn‘t help but exclaim, “Let me
down! I can walk by myself.”
As for Richard, he didn‘t reject her and carefully placed her down. Under the moonlight, he locked his sharp eyes
onto hers, but no emotions could be seen.
Therefore, she wanted to walk past him silently, but in the next second, her arm was clasped by a firm hand.
Her heart began to thump against her chest. She almost allowed herself to be pulled by his force and into his
embrace, but a cold male voice came into her ears in the next second, “Don‘t waste your time on me. It is
impossible for you and me to be together.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen she heard this, her face immediately flushed red before she turned pale again. Sure enough, she had been
ahead of herself.
This rejection was simple and gave no room for argument.
“To me, you are just someone I need to protect. That‘s all. There‘s no room to talk about liking each other here,”
Richard added.
Angela retracted her hands in embarrassment at his blunt rejection, pursed her lips, and endured a sense of
grievance. At this moment, the monkey had returned to the branch next to her. It was probably attracted to the
light as he began screeching next to her.
This time, she did not react. Instead, Richard, who was beside her, wrapped his arms around her and pulled her to
his side, fearing that the monkey might attack her.
Meanwhile, she lowered her head and looked at the arms that were holding her tightly. She realized that he was just
protecting her as part of his job; it didn‘t stem from any interest in her.
With her head still lowered, she quickly walked back to the base as she tried to widen the gap between herself and
him. This was probably the only way that she would retain her dignity.
This was the first time in her life that her confession to a man was rejected, and her arrogant self esteem was
utterly shattered.
She finally relaxed after she returned to her room and leaned back against the door. Although her face was painted
with annoyance, she felt that she had done nothing wrong. She had just confessed to a man that she liked and was
rejected. It was normal.
Why did Angela have to drown in self–pity? Being rejected did not mean that she was not a
likable woman!
Forget it. It was time to sleep. Tomorrow morning would be another beautiful day. Angela admitted that she was not
worthy of Richard.
However, as she lay in bed, her mind began to wander. Could it be that she was with Dexter before? Or was it that
because she had shown her immense love for Dexter in front of Richard, making him feel that she was a fickle,
flirtatious woman?
After careful calculations, she realized that she had only been at the base for less than half a month. Yet, she had
already confessed to Richard. How embarrassing! Angela thought about this again and again before calming
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmherself down and deciding to let those feelings go and just be herself!
Early the following day, Angela got up and went for a run. She wanted to do something to distract herself; she
couldn‘t utterly focus on Richard like that.
“Good morning, Miss Meyers!” Trevor and Jared greeted Angela when they bumped into her.
“Good morning,” she replied breathlessly with a bright smile.
It was evident that she was in a good mood, and this made Trevor and Jared exchange glances. They thought that
the date they had arranged last night made Richard and her take their relationship to the next step!
Angela couldn‘t help but ask when she saw them, “Is it convenient for me to ask you a question?”
“Go ahead,” Trevor said, happy to help.
“Has your captain never had a girlfriend?” She asked directly.
This made Jared burst into laughter. “Miss Meyers, don‘t worry. Our captain‘s love life is as blank as paper. He
absolutely does not have any exes.“.
“Yeah! We‘ve been around him for so long, yet haven‘t even seen him around a female, let alone a girlfriend. So,
you can pursue him without any worries,” Trevor added with a smile.
Angela lowered her head and smiled shyly as bitterness filled her heart. Finally, she raised her eyebrows and
replied, “You‘ve misunderstood. I‘m not trying to date him. I‘m just asking.
