My Baby’s Daddy

Chapter 975 

Angela instantly blushed crimson. She quickly waved her hand and denied, “No, you‘ve got the wrong idea, ma‘am.

We‘re not a couple.” 

However, the sharp–eyed landlady had seen them coming in with Richard‘s arm wrapped around Angela‘s

shoulders just now. Even if they‘re not a couple yet, they‘re definitely seeing each other. She replied with a smile,

“You two make a wonderful couple. This dude is so handsome, and you‘re so pretty.” 

Feeling bitter deep down, Angela didn‘t want to argue with the landlady anymore. She said to Richard, “Let‘s go

back to your room.” 

Richard took her by the hand and walked toward the stairs beside them. 

Miffed, Angela struggled to break free of his hold. “Don‘t take me by the hand. I can walk on my own.” 

Richard then let go of her. 

They went all the way upstairs to the last room on the third floor before pushing the door open. The room was very

shabby, with no trace of modernity; even its decor was styled in the 90s. At this moment, however, Angela couldn‘t

be picky about anything. It was good enough for them to have a place to shelter from the rain. 

Apart from a king–sized bed, there was only a small chair here. Standing in front of the window, Angela stared at

the raindrops, feeling as though she were cut off from the rest of the world. 

Just then, she sensed an oppressive presence behind her. When she turned around, she saw that Richard was

standing only a step away from her. She instinctively stepped back, only to find herself with nowhere to retreat to

since she was standing in front of the window in the first place. Instead, she was startled when her heel kicked

against the wall. 

“Are you so scared of me?” Richard asked quietly with his eyes locked on her facial expression. 

Angela wasn‘t afraid of him, but she wanted to keep her distance from him at all times. It was as if only by doing so

would she be able to face Annie with a clear conscience. “I‘m not scared of you. It‘s just that I don‘t want to get too

close to you.” She raised her chin slightly with a somewhat stubborn expression on her palm–sized face. 

Suddenly, Richard leaned over to her. 

Angela‘s eyes started slightly. What is this guy doing? Don‘t tell me he wants to take 

advantage of the situation to do something to me? “W–What are you doing?” She quickly turned her face away as

her breathing became irregular. 

Richard just wanted to test her reaction at first. Seeing how she turned her face away in disgust, he straightened up

and pointed at the bed, saying, “You sleep on the bed. I‘ll sleep in the car.” 

Angela was dumbstruck for a few seconds. At once, she was ashamed of how she had. treated him just now. She bit

her lip, saying, “It‘s freezing in the car. Why don‘t you stay in the room instead?” It was a winter night, where the

temperature could go as low as six degrees Celsius. Moreover, with today‘s rain, the temperature would definitely

drop even lower. 

“Are you sure about that?” the man asked in a husky voice. 

Biting her red lip, Angela replied, “You can stay here as long as you don‘t get overfamiliar with me.” 

“You can trust me,” Richard promised in a deep voice. 

Angela also trusted his character, which was why she told him to stay. And besides, the situation right now was too

difficult for him. Even though she felt guilty toward Annie, she couldn‘t chase the man out of the room and let him

freeze in the car all night. Seeing the remote control for the air conditioner, she couldn‘t help but press the buttons

on the remote control several times, only to find that the air conditioner didn‘t respond no matter how she pressed

the buttons. “Don‘t tell me it‘s broken.” She let out a groan of vexation while standing under the air conditioner. 

“It is broken,” Richard said to her positively with his arms folded. 

“How are we gonna spend the night when it‘s so cold? I‘m not bundled up or something,” Angela groaned. At this

moment, her hands and feet were as cold as ice, so much so that she had to rub her hands together to warm

herself up a little. There‘s no air conditioner right now? How am I gonna survive the night, then? 

Richard noticed that her face was pale with cold. Her clothes only looked good on the outside, but they couldn‘t

keep her warm. On the other hand, he still had a military greatcoat in the car. He stood up, pushed the door open,

and went out. 

Angela watched the door close. Not knowing where the man was going, she could only sit on the bed while gloomily

pondering what to do next. She wondered when the mudslide would be cleared, though she hoped it‘d be cleared

as soon as possible since she didn‘t want to stay with him for such a long time. At this very moment, she was

somewhat afraid of him. She feared that her willpower wasn‘t strong enough, that she couldn‘t resist his charms,

that she would find herself involuntarily attracted to him, and that she‘d do something that made her feel guilty

toward Annie. 

Just then, she heard the sound of the door being pushed from the outside. 

Richard came in with a heavy military greatcoat hung over his wrist. Without saying a word, he draped the

greatcoat around her shoulders as she sat on the bed.
