Chapter 988

Angela was startled and dismayed by the voice she heard and turned around to find Richard standing behind her. It

was as if she were dreaming, seeing him in person. “You...” Her throat dried up, her heart raced, and her chest

ached.

Before she could respond, the man grabbed her shoulders and led her to a corridor. At that time, a waiter wheeled

a cleaning cart around the table to clean it up after several customers had left the room. Then, Richard told the

waiter, “Clean this up later,” as he opened the door and ushered Angela inside. The waiter realized what was going

on and only stood near the entrance.

Slightly out of breath, she asked, “Why are you here?”

He answered, “I‘m having dinner with a friend here.”

Angela‘s eyes were slightly red and close to tears. She thought Richard and his group had left and had no idea he

was still in Averna. When she suddenly thought of her family, who were in another room, she asked with her lips

pursed, “My grandpa, aunt, uncle, and Annie are all here for dinner. Do you want to come over and say hello?”

He didn‘t say anything but stared at her with an intense gaze. As he looked at her, he observed the tears that

started to swim in her eyes. “I‘m not going over,” he said helplessly.

His response caused her to look away in embarrassment, and she wiped away the tears that had already formed in

her eyes. “Why won‘t you go?” she asked again.

Richard reached out and grabbed her chin, turning her face to look at him even though she was resisting. “Do your

tears indicate that you haven‘t completely forgotten about me?”

Looking at his expression, she panicked and pushed his hand away from her chin. “Stop it.”

“In the future, if a man approaches you, you should express your rejection clearly and protect yourself better,” he

reminded her.

In response to his words, Angela felt a spark of anger rise and said bluntly, “You don‘t have to tell me that. I can

protect myself.” Soon after, she remembered Annie‘s countless text messages to him. Hence, she raised her head

and asked, “Why didn‘t you reply to Annie‘s text messages? Do you know how hurtful it is?”

“I‘m not going to waste my time on women I‘m not interested in,” Richard stated coldly. His eyes softened when he

looked at her as if trying to convince her that she was the only woman worth his time. No one else but Angela

Meyers.

When Angela looked into Richard‘s eyes, she had the sensation that she was being submerged in them. She held

her breath for such a prolonged period that she heaved a sigh of relief when she finally came to her senses. She

shook her head and pleaded, “Please, don‘t look at me that way.” When she realized she couldn‘t stay in front of

him any longer, she turned away and said, “I should head back to the room.”

However, as she approached the door, he grabbed her arm and drew her into his arms with no apparent force. He

held one hand around her waist and the other behind her head to support her while he kissed her passionately, and

it took her breath away.

“Hmm!” In retaliation, her body became rigid while still in his arms. Her brain became so foggy that she could not

even consider shoving the man away from her. The only thing on her mind now was how domineering the man was

in kissing her. He gently released his lips until she was on the verge of passing out, at which point he continued to

look intently at her. “One of the many questions you asked me in the past is whether or not I will feel tempted if I

am protecting another woman. My reply is... unless you‘re that woman, I will not be tempted.”

“Why me?” Angela asked sluggishly, forgetting to push Richard away.

“Because you‘re the only one I‘m interested in,” he replied, his smile tinged with self mockery and helplessness.

As Angela‘s heart ached in response to his words, she immediately struggled to escape his embrace and took two

steps back. “I‘m not going to do this to Annie. You aren‘t allowed to hurt her too. If you do, I will never forgive you.”

She turned around and attempted to open the door but quickly realized that it was much too heavy for her. She

staggered to her feet after losing her balance due to the door‘s weight.
