Chapter 964
Richard‘s eyebrows furrowed. Did she really say that? Did this woman tell others that there was nothing between
them already?
“Stop asking.” He didn‘t want to talk about it.
Seeing that, Trevor tactfully left while wondering to himself.
Meanwhile, Angela was dreaming. In her dream, she had returned to the city and saw Annie. She was ashamed to
face her, and she blamed herself harshly. Then, the scene changed to Annie‘s engagement. She saw Richard
wearing a groom‘s outfit while walking hand in hand with Annie on the red carpet. Angela stood in the crowd and
watched when suddenly, Richard broke away from Annie‘s hand and walked straight toward her. When she looked
past him, she saw that Annie‘s eyes were filled with tears of grief as she looked at her in pain, as if she was
questioning her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“I‘m sorry... I‘m sorry, Annie... I‘ve wronged you.” In her dreams, Angela apologized with a pained expression.
As tears slipped from her eyes, Richard felt his heart thump fiercely. Was this woman suffering so much because of
this, to the point where she couldn‘t free herself from her guilt and even dreamed of apologizing to Annie?
“I won‘t meet with him again, I promise... Annie... forgive me...” Angela continued to talk in her sleep, as if she had
fallen into this dream and couldn‘t escape.
Richard‘s gaze locked onto her painful expression before he drew the tissues next to him and wiped the sweat from
her forehead. His actions made Angela jolt awake from her dream all of a sudden.
As her tearful eyes looked directly into a pair of deep and worried eyes, her gaze turned frightened as her entire
body trembled, and she reached out to push away his hands that were wiping her sweat. “It‘s all right, thank you.”
Richard let out a sigh, staring at her helplessly.
Angela glanced at the needle on her arm, then at the infirmary bed she was lying on. She turned her head away
and said to Richard, “I can take care of myself. You should go and rest.”
From her actions, she wasn‘t even giving him a chance to take care of her.
“Do you not want to see me that badly?”
Because of his words, Angela turned around to look at him, only to see the man by the bed propping his hands on
his legs and his eyes drooping slightly, with only the
tall bridge of his nose visible, leaving her unsure of what he was thinking.
“As long as you don‘t want to see me, I can promise that I won‘t show up in front of you again.” Richard raised his
head, and his eyes were extremely calm, as if what he said was an order, and he would see it through to the end.
Angela‘s breath stopped as she looked at him, feeling afraid that he would disappear forever.
“Then, will you marry Annie?” she hurriedly asked him.
“I won‘t,” Richard replied flatly, his voice sounding a little hoarse. His eyes fell on her, as if he wanted to say
something but wasn‘t able to speak.
“You can‘t treat her like this.” In her panic, Angela hurriedly sat up and stared at him.

Angela was stunned. She suddenly found this man unfamiliar, and there was a high and mighty air around him that
made her afraid. If he didn‘t give them a chance, no woman would even have the possibility of getting close to him,
and Angela had now lost the right to approach him and do whatever she wanted.
“You...” Angela‘s face turned red as she was rendered speechless.
“From now on, I won‘t show up in front of you anymore. You can recuperate with peace of mind, and you don‘t
have to worry that Annie will hate you. It has nothing to do with you even if I cancel the wedding.” After Richard
finished speaking, he picked up the coat draped on the back of the chair next to him and walked toward the door.
“Where are you going?” Angela blurted out in alarm.
Richard turned around slightly. “To a place where you won‘t be able to see me.”
Angela‘s breath caught in her throat. Though she wanted him to stay away from her, why did her heart hurt so
badly when he actually made sure that he would never see her again? All of a sudden, there was a tingling pain in
her heart, like someone sticking a needle in her chest, which made her gasp in pain. She pressed her hand tightly
on her chest, trying to stop the pain, but she still broke into a cold sweat from the agony.
