Chapter 956
Richard ran along the winding path toward the top of the mountain, and when he arrived and saw the slim figure
sitting in the cold, his breathing staggered. Almost immediately, he pulled off his coat and approached her while
holding it.
Angela, whose senses had been dulled by faintness, emotional distress, and also the howling wind around them,
could not sense him behind her until the warm coat wrapped around her shoulders.
Only then did she turn around in surprise as her swollen eyes made contact with his worried ones. His heart
squeezed forcefully at the sight, and he carried her from the rocks aggressively.
“Richard, let me go.” She struggled violently against his hold, trying to push him away.
He was afraid that she might hurt herself like this, so he had no choice but to put her down on the edge of a nearby
rock. While he stood looking down at her, she looked back at him from her position.
“What happened to you?” he asked in a low tone, looking at her with his dark eyes.

cousin, Annie?”
How did she know? Richard thought as his heart throbbed again, his pupils dilating.
Squinting his eyes, he asked rhetorically,
“Who told you that?”
“I’m the one asking questions. How long are you going to hide it from me? Why didn’t you tell me sooner that Annie
is the one whom you are engaged with? If you had told me sooner, we wouldn’t have made this mistake… I
wouldn’t have…” Angela’s voice was hoarse as she cried while tears streamed down her face.
However, before she could finish her sentence, Richard pulled her into his embrace and pressed her head against
his chest.
Sobbing in his arms, Angela raised her fists and hit him on the chest helplessly.
Richard soothed her back and spoke in a deep voice, “We had done nothing wrong.”
Hearing his words, Angela reflectively started shivering. That’s right! Oh, she was relieved when she found out that
this situation was still reversible. As long as they returned to their own lives and stopped meeting up, it would be as
if nothing had ever happened.
Suddenly, Angela took a step back and pushed him away, creating an arm’s length distance between them. She
raised her head and looked at Richard seriously. Although her eyes were red and puffy with tears running down, her
voice was firm. “Richard, from now onwards, there is nothing between us.”
Hearing her words, Richard furrowed his brows. Is she trying to break up with me?
Taking a deep breath, Angela continued, “You can’t cancel the engagement. Annie loves you very much. So, you
should keep your promise and make her your wife.”
Listening to Angela’s words, Richard stared at her deeply. Something sparked in his usual cold eyes-it was anger
and distress. Distress as to the words she said
and angry because of her attitude.
It was Angela who came on to him first; she wanted to be his girlfriend. Now, it was also her who tried to break up

After finishing her words, Angela noticed that Richard was silent and did not answer. All he did was only stare at her
intently.
But she was not afraid of this sight of him and even pushed him for an answer. “Hurry up and promise me that you
not hurt Annie,” she demanded. will
Once again, Richard glowered at her. “Are you done talking? Is it my turn now?”
Breathing heavily, Angela looked at his tense facial expression. She had a bad feeling in her gut that he wasn’t
going to listen to her.
However, she still wanted to hear what he had to say, “Yes, it’s your turn now,” she said.
“First things first, I don’t want to break up with you.”
