Chapter 998
Richard nodded. “When I was one year old, my father passed away and my mother remarried.”
Angela‘s heart went out for him while she looked at him. She was born in a happy family and her parents showered
her with unreserved love. As she compared him to herself, her heart ached to know his past.
“Sorry. I shouldn‘t have asked.” She regretted in a worry that it might remind him of bad memories.
“You should ask to know me better before becoming my wife,” he said seriously.
Words failed her as she thought, Why am I suddenly becoming your wife? We aren‘t even going out yet!
“Cut it out.” She bit her lips and stared out of the window with cheeks tinged with red. Now that Annie and his
engagement was called off, the worries in Angela‘s head dispelled, but she could not act recklessly either.
“It‘s just a matter of time before it happens.” Richard was certain as he took a glimpse of her with confidence.
Meanwhile, she did not reciprocate to it because she did not know how to. At that moment, he parked the car near
a bustling park. “Let‘s take a walk.”
Angela nodded and alighted from the car as well. Unlike the arctic mountains, it was quite warm in the city.
Although it was the beginning of the winter, the temperature was not that low and the ambience lingered with
remnant crumbs of late autumn.
After she took merely two steps forward, the man held her hand at which she attempted to shake him off. However,
it was a futile endeavor due to his strength, so she just let him be in the end. Whenever there were crowds, he even
wrapped his arm around her shoulders like couples did.
“Wanna drink something?” he asked.

“I‘ll get it for you.” He then released her.
Her lips pursed into a thin line as she tried to smother a smile while nodding. She watched his upright figure striding
toward the coffee shop; the tight knitwear and black pants displayed the alluring yet sturdy outline of his broad
shoulders and slim waist under the streetlights in the park.
Her heart palpitated at such a pleasing sight as if she had returned to the moment when she first fell for him in the
base.
Soon, Richard approached her with two cups of coffee in his hands and she took one of them. To have a stroll in a
park with a warm and tantalizing coffee in the onset of winter was a delight to relish in.
The both of them kept quiet while rounding the park; the ambiguous atmosphere lingering around them felt better
than ever.
After a while, Richard piped up, “My grandfather wishes to see you.”
Angela looked at him in shock. “Did you tell him about us?”
“I didn‘t tell him that it‘s you. I just told him that I have someone I like and he wants me to bring her to him as soon
as possible.” He gazed at her with comforting eyes.
“B–But I haven‘t sorted out my thoughts yet. Let‘s talk about it later.” She recalled the dinner she had tonight and
the discussion shared between Jennifer and Daphne. It was evident that Jennifer was irritated by the marriage
cancellation.
Furthermore, her mother‘s words indicated that it would be better for her to stay away from this man for now.
Otherwise, Daphne would be a joke to others.
A glint flickered in his eyes and he sighed. “Fine. We‘ll talk about it some other day. We‘re not in a rush for a
marriage anyway.”
Now, it was Angela‘s turn to be confused. He wĹas talking about how much he wanted to marry me right away, but
why is he saying that there‘s no rush?
In fact, he could not level with her that he had another mission to undertake, which would put his life on stake.
Thus, he could not guarantee his safe return and hence the repose.
Just as she was about to question him, he wrapped his arm around her shoulders. “Let‘s head home. The wind is
strong.”
Her instincts were telling her that something was on his mind, but he had no intention of telling her.
Is he hiding something from me?
When they entered the car, someone in a nearby vehicle was holding a camera facing them. Angela‘s face was in
most of the photos.
