Chapter 908

Angela let out a small yelp after being caught off guard. Then, her thin arms instinctively wrapped
around his neck as she buried her face in his shoulders.

Her soft lips brushed against the man’s Neck, causing his body to tense up in response.

In the next second, she was lowered onto the ground. Unfortunately, because of the uneven ground,
she stepped directly onto a protruding stone, and her entire body stumbled backward.

So, the man reached out and wrapped his arms around her, preventing her from hitting the stone with
his arms.

Suddenly, the distance between the two closed; when he lowered his head as she raised hers, their
faces were no more than an inch apart.

Angele’s breathing became rapid as she thought about how unreal this was. She was reluctant to push
him away but did not dare to grab the opportunity to make a move as well.

The two of them stayed in position for a while as they stared into each other’s eyes as a hint of
anticipation hung in the air. Of course, it didn’t help that she gulped when she lowered her gaze at the
man’s thin lips.

She was considering whether she should pick up the courage and kiss him again.

A cold wind blew mercilessly at this time, messing up her long hair and making her shiver.

Under the moonlight, the man’s sharp

gaze fell onto her face. “You’re shivering,



and you still want to stay?”

Angela felt like she couldn’t let this opportunity go and wrapped her arms around his neck before
pressing her lips to his. Almost instantly, she removed herself, took off, and ran, looking like a runaway
rabbit. But because this was a rocky hilltop, she stepped onto a stone before running two steps and fell.

“Ah!” She let out a cry as she sat down in pain.

Richard immediately rushed over to her side to check on her. Angela was so embarrassed that she
wanted to dig a hole and hide. This was a really horrible ending to their kiss.

“Why did you run?” He scolded in a low voice.

She lowered her head, blushing. “If I don’t, won’t I just be waiting to be scolded?”

He didn’t say anything as he moved on to check her foot with a flashlight. Luckily, she wore protective
sports shoes, which prevented her from getting hurt.

When she noticed that he had ignored her, she felt that she had offended him again. She was so
embarrassed that she couldn’t even look at him. It was said that it would be easier for women to make
the first move, but she felt that there was a chasm between them!

Could it be that it was the other way around for them? Did she have to chase him across the
mountains?

“Your foot is fine. Can you walk?” Richard asked seriously. Then, he noticed that her shoelaces were
untied and placed the flashlight aside before helping her tie them.

Angela, who had her head turned, looked back and down at the man gently tying her shoelace. He
clearly cared about her and took care of her in everything he did, but why did he have to look like an



emotionless machine?

Did he not know that everything he was doing was making her misunderstand?

After he was done tying her shoelaces, his phone flashed in the dark, indicating that he had received a
text. Then, he stretched out his hand and took his phone to check. This phone of his wouldn’t have any
spam.

Anything sent to this phone was considered important information.

Yet, when Richard opened the message, it was a series of texts from Annie. Immediately, he frowned
as he read through them.

Angela watched him read the texts with a stern face and stretched out her neck curiously to take a
look. She wanted to know who had texted him and if it was a beautiful woman.



He noticed that she was poking her head forward and instantly kept his phone in the pocket of his
camouflage jacket.
