Chapter 973
“Why don‘t you give the car to me, and I‘ll drive it back?” Angela asked bravely.
Richard was not going to agree. After all, she didn‘t have the ability to handle the steep and dangerous mountain
roads.
“No,” he rejected.
Just then, the sky turned overcast; it was clear that it was about to rain soon. Sure enough, rain began drizzling on
Angela‘s head after a while, causing her to cover her head with her hand. However, the 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 drenched
again after she had just recovered from her fever?
Irked by the unreasonable weather, Angela hastily walked to the passenger seat before she opened the door and
went inside without sparing the man in the back seat a glance.
It was exceptionally quiet in the car, isolated from the rain outside. Angela‘s thoughts were in a complete mess, and
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtall of her senses were trained on the man in the back seat as she listened to the 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.
Richard didn‘t speak, but Angela felt that her mouth was turning a little dry, and she wanted to drink some water.
Hence, she had no choice but to ask, “Is there any water in your car?”
Richard reached out and took out a glass in the storage compartment of the car door and handed it to her. When
Angela saw that it was his glass, she suddenly stiffened for a few seconds. “I was talking about mineral water.”
At her words, Richard raised his head, his brows furrowed tightly. “I don‘t have any.”
Why was she refusing his glass? Didn‘t she drink from his glass when she was in his room?
Angela‘s face turned a little embarrassed as she shared his thoughts. Last night, when she was in his room, she
didn‘t have a problem with drinking from his glass, but it was like a slap in the face for her if she was refusing his
glass now.
She took out her backpack and dug out her purse from inside before opening it. Except for a bunch of cards, there
wasn‘t any money left inside. She didn‘t have any spare change as well, for she had given the rest of her money to
the elderly people earlier.
“Do you have money? Lend me a hundred,” Angela asked the man behind her, reaching out her hand to borrow
some money from him.
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.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRichard 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 got 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.
Richard could hear the sound of her drinking water, and he suddenly felt an inexplicable attraction that made his
body turn hot. He looked up and saw her slender and pale neck that was slightly raised, making him want to turn
into a vampire and take a few bites.
Angela could feel that the man behind her was looking at her. After she finished drinking, she turned her head and
asked, “When will we leave?”
“When the rain lets up a little,” Richard replied.
“If we don‘t leave soon, it‘ll turn dark, and the mountain roads will be more difficult to drive through. If you don‘t
want to drive, let me drive.” Angela was eager to try as she had owned a driver‘s license for around five years and
was very confident.
“No.” Richard closed his laptop, refusing to allow her to drive.
