My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1021

“This was passed down from my grandmother‘s generation and it has been passed on to each daughter–in–law. You‘re quite young to be wearing such a piece, but you can keep it safe and pass it on to your future generations.”

Angela lowered her head and glanced at the translucent white jadeite. It was clearly a priceless piece and she felt that it was too precious of a gift.

Nonetheless, the jadeite represented the well–wishes passed on from each generation before. So, she was keen to accept it to pass on her well–wishes to her daughter or daughter–in–law in the future.

“Sure, Ms. Husson. I‘ll definitely take good care of this.”

Scarlet was quite fond of Angela as Angela‘s personality and appearance fulfilled the expectations Scarlet had for a daughter–in–law. There seemed to be a firm strength within Angela

As Angela came down from the second floor, she was in a somber mood. She stood at the balcony on the second floor and looked down to see Richard seated all by himself. His firm, strapping back looked quite imposing and there seemed to be a cold aura that surrounded him, which made the others around afraid to take the initiative to approach him. At that moment, it pained Angela to see that and she quickly gathered the bottom of her gown and made her way toward him. As soon as she approached his side, she reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck.

She paid no heed to the surroundings as she planted a kiss on his cheek.

He was momentarily stunned before reaching out to take her hand into his. Subsequently, he tugged her over to take a seat by his side. “Did you see my mom?”

“Yes.”

“What did she talk to you about?”

“Nothing much. Look, she gave me this.” Angela showed him the jadeite bangle on her wrist. “She‘s very fond of me and she has acknowledged me as her daughter–in law.”

Richard focused his eyes on Angela and she could clearly feel him increasing the pressure as he held onto her hands tightly.

Angela understood how he felt. After all, there were bound to be one or two things that a person definitely had to achieve in this lifetime. His love for his father was the reason why he refused to let the killer be on the loose. As for her, she was fated to fall in love with him in this lifetime.

“Did my mom mention anything else?” Richard kept his eyes lowered and it seemed that he didn‘t dare to meet Angela‘s eyes.

“No, she didn‘t. What‘s wrong?” Angela purposely directed a question at him in return as she looked at him with clear, beautiful eyes.

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1022

At that moment, Richard‘s Adam‘s apple bobbed slightly as he smiled. “I was worried that my mom would stress you out.”

“That‘s not possible! Ms. Husson‘s very friendly and nice to me.” Angela smiled and reached out to serve him some food. “Finish your meal. Let‘s go for a cruise after dinner.”

He nodded. Such banquet events were usually quite boring, so he had planned to leave with her after dinner.

Shortly after that, Scarlet came over and joined their table. Richard could sense the affection and love Scarlet had for him and there was a tender expression on his face throughout the night.

The others had to participate in the presentation later on, so Richard left with Angela first in tow after dinner.

As soon as they walked out to the parking lot, she turned to ask him expectantly, “Let‘s go for a drive by the seaside. It‘s still early anyway.”

“Sure, you can decide where we will go tonight and I‘ll listen to you.” Richard gave her the freedom to allocate their time for the night.

He started the car and drove to the highway that led to the beach nearby and Angela sat in the front passenger seat as she asked curiously, “Do your mom and Uncle Walter have kids of their own?”

Richard shook his head. “They didn‘t have any kids of their own, but I heard that they adopted a good friend‘s daughter. The couple works abroad most of the time, so their daughter was raised by my mom when she was young.”

Angela realized that he did not seem to know much about his mom‘s life and she could not help but look at him sympathetically. “In the future, when we have kids, I‘m sure that your mom will be delighted.”

He pursed his lips and smiled. “Yeah, she would definitely look forward to that.”

“Then, let‘s hurry up and sign the marriage papers. After that, we can start planning on conceiving a child. Do you prefer a boy or a girl?”

“I would be happy with either,” he answered without hesitation.

At that moment, Angela‘s lips curved into a smile and she became very enthusiastic. “I was wondering whether it would be possible to have a pair of fraternal twins; a boy and a girl. That would be great!”

“Well, there is a possibility of that.” There was a confident smile that flashed across his handsome face.

Meanwhile, she smiled shyly upon comprehending his words. “You sound so smug.”

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1023

“I am confident in my abilities,” he continued his brazen attitude.

Angela could not help smiling as she glanced out of the window. However, her smile gradually froze and a worried look flashed across her eyes instead. Nonetheless, the smile on her face remained once she turned her face back to face him.

“We should have a boy first before having a girl. Then, you can teach him how to take care of his younger sister. How does that sound?”

“Yup, that sounds good.” Richard felt that her suggestion was great.

Angela‘s eyes went to a five–star hotel quite far ahead under the starry night skies by the edge of the sea and she pointed. “I heard that this is a great place to enjoy coffee on the rooftop. Let‘s go there!”

“Sure.”

“Do you have your ID card with you?” she suddenly asked quite conveniently.

Meanwhile, he turned to look at her with a slightly dark look in his eyes as he seemed stunned. “Yes, I have it with me.”

Angela generously mentioned, “I heard that this is a great place to catch the sunrise. I would like to stay here and watch the sunrise tomorrow. Why don‘t you keep me company?”

At that moment, Richard‘s heart raced as he replied hoarsely, “Won‘t your parents worry about you?”

She muttered under her breath, “What‘s there to worry about? I‘m not a child. I‘m about to turn twenty–five this year.” After she said that, she blushed uncontrollably as she interrogated him domineeringly, “I just wanted to know whether you‘d be willing to watch the sunrise with me.”

“Of course,” he replied in a solemn voice.

Angela took out her phone and secretly typed a text message to Daphne. “Mom, I won‘t be back tonight. Don‘t wait for me.”

Following that, she switched her phone to silent mode before Daphne replied to the message immediately, “Okay, got it. Make sure to get some rest.”

Daphne had been through this before, so she knew what was going on.

Angela‘s face flushed red upon seeing the text message. What does Mom mean by that last sentence? What rest? Does she think that I will be up the entire night?

They arrived at the parking lot of the hotel and alighted from the car. She mustered up her courage before entering the lobby while clinging to Richard‘s arm.

She planned to take the initiative and book a room for them.

At the front desk, Angela handed over two ID cards. “One room with a king–sized bed, please. Thanks.“

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1024

The receptionist took a look at the good–looking couple in front of her and she could not help admiring them secretly. For a moment there, the receptionist was unsure whether she admired the pretty woman or the extremely handsome man. Finally, she came to the conclusion that she was envious of the lady!

The man was very handsome and he had a great figure; he was indeed a rare gem. After securing a room, Angela held his hand and entered the elevator together. She appeared to be even more anxious than he was.

For a moment there, Richard was in a passive state. “I thought that you wanted to have coffee? How about we grab a bite first?”

Angela nodded and reached out to select the top floor where the cafe was located. The night was still young and he was here with her, so he would not be able to escape anyway.

Indeed, she was using her way to let this man know that he could go and complete his mission, but he had to come back in one piece because she was here waiting for him.

They grabbed a bite at the cafe before heading downstairs to their room. Angela opened the door by swiping the card; as soon as she noticed the large, white king sized bed, her cheeks could not help but turn rosy.

“Uhh... Why don‘t you go have a shower first?” She shoved the man next to her and her shyness was evident under the lights.

However, he reached out and grabbed her hand to pull her before him. He kept his dark eyes fixated on her. “We don‘t have to do this right now.”

As soon as she heard that, she lifted her head and met his eyes with a firm gaze albeit blushing. “I don‘t want to wait any longer. Didn‘t you realize that I was waiting for this chance to jump you ever since we were at the base?”

To that, Richard‘s eyes were widening gradually.

Angela thought to herself, Whatever! There is really no need to take a shower. It‘s too troublesome. She wrapped her arms around his neck and stood on tiptoes while cupping his handsome face. Subsequently, she leaned in and planted a kiss on him with her red lips.

For a moment there, he felt an incoming force surging within him. In order not to hurt her, he gladly initiated the movement and fell back onto the bed behind him. As for the lady, she fell into his embrace as well. It appeared that Angela was the hunter while he was her prey.

Her eyes shone as she looked at him. “You‘re mine tonight.”

Heaving a sigh in response, he asked, “Are you sure about this?”

“I‘m positive.” Having said that, she moved forward and kissed him again. She fumbled and seemed to be quite inexperienced.

Subsequently, the man placed his large palm around her waist and their positions were upturned; he was now atop her.

She revealed a seductive smile and her expression was charmingly sexy. She reached out to grasp his perfect chin and teased him. “I‘m yours too.”

These three words were all it took for this man‘s heart to flutter as if it was tickled by a feather. It was then a flash of strong suppression appeared in his eyes.

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1025

“I‘ll keep you company tonight. Go to bed first.” Richard was trying hard to suppress his urges and even then, it took him the best of his efforts to achieve that.

Nonetheless, he did not wish to hurt her and merely wanted to keep her company before he returned from his mission.

Suddenly, Angela flared up upon hearing his words. “Richard, don‘t tell me that you...”

As soon as she said that, that was the last straw for him and he threw all caution to the wind. He narrowed his eyes and spoke up hoarsely, “Of course not.”

“Then, prove it to me.” She wrapped her arms around his neck and refused to let him leave. “Otherwise, I‘ll get someone else to prove themselves to me.”

Instantly, Richard‘s eyes darkened and he suddenly felt a strong urge rise up. At that moment, he lowered his head and spoke with dominance, “How dare you.”

Immediately after he said that, he proved himself through his actions, planting multiple kisses on her lips non–stop.

The warm morning sun rays landed on the face of the girl who was sleeping soundly; it felt like a morning call for her. However, she was worn out and continued to laze in bed. Refusing to get out of bed, she avoided the sunlight by turning around and instinctively snuggled into the man‘s arms, continuing her sleep.

The man who had woken up earlier wore a tender expression on his face as he admired the features of the girl sleeping in his arms under the glow of sunrise. He could not contain the smile from appearing on his face.

At that moment, a loose tendril of hair slid down from her forehead and he gently tucked it back behind her ears. Distinctly, he heard her mutter, “Richard, I‘ve had

enough.”

He tried hard to stifle his laughter as he replied in a hoarse voice, “Alright. I‘ll stop”

His words caused her to gradually widen her eyes as her eyelashes fluttered. Instantly, his exceptionally handsome face appeared in front of her and she noticed : he had a satisfied smile on his face. She then reached out and covered her own face with her hands.

After switching off the lights last night, every sensation she felt was in the dark; but right now, they were shone by the sun rays and she could not help but redden in embarrassment.

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1026

Although just freshly woken up, she instantly regretted her actions last night. She regretted questioning his performance ability, which prompted him to work extra hard to debunk her doubt. As a result, he had not given her much chance to rest throughout the night.

She recalled the words she had told him the night before. “Captain Lloyd, please!”

“Richie, stop!”

Nonetheless, Angela had experienced a night that she was reluctant to recall.

“What‘s wrong? Weren‘t you a little daredevil last night?” Richard chuckled in a low voice and planted a kiss on her forehead.

At that moment, she planted her face into his arms. “How dare you bring up anything from last night!”

“Hehe...” He could not contain his giggle as he glanced at her tenderly and with full resignation. “I couldn‘t help it. After all, I had been suppressing myself for the past twenty–nine years.”

As soon as Angela heard that, she laughed gleefully. His words were a clear indication that this was his first experience too. Come to think about it, I‘ve scored! Hold on. This is my first time too.

“Are you for real? You‘re not lying to me, are you?” She lifted her bright–red face and she looked enchanting under the morning glow.

At that moment, Richard felt a flutter in his heart as he ruffled her hair. “I will never lie to you.” His words were firm and sincere.

Angela felt a warm and fuzzy feeling rise up within her as she reached out to cling to his neck. She leaned against his chest at ease. “You‘re not allowed to lie to me or leave me, ever. I will be your responsibility for the rest of your life.”

He hugged her tightly and whispered into her ears, “Sure, I will take full responsibility for the rest of your life.”

“Okay! I want to be hugged tightly to sleep by you every night from today onward.” She lifted her head and looked at him with doe eyes, looking innocent yet seductive.

“Sure!” He dropped a kiss on her forehead and noticed that the blanket had slid off her body. There were some reddened marks on her skin and he kissed the spot with a distressed expression.

Angela lowered her head and saw that too as she blushed. “You were so rough last night.”

“I’m sorry,” Richard apologized in a hoarse voice.

“I‘m thirsty and I want some water.” Indeed, the spoiled princess could not shake off her habit overnight. Fluttering her eyelashes, she looked at him with indication for him to fetch her some water.

The man smiled in response and stroked her on the nose before getting up. As soon as he rose, his firm and well–toned back was revealed to her.

Angela saw his back and her eyes widened in surprise instantly. Subsequently, she blinked and shifted her eyes guiltily; his back was horrific–looking! It must be some wild cat that did that! She would never admit to inflicting such wounds on him.

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1027

Hmm? She recalled the past events and realized that it seemed to have been her own doing. Within split seconds, her face flushed redder than ever. How did I even do that?!

By then, Richard had brought a glass of water over for her and personally held the glass to her mouth. “Get up. Let‘s go for breakfast.”

“Are you in a hurry to head home?” asked Angela.

“I‘m not.”

“How about staying for another day? I just want to spend some time with you right now.” She refused to give up this chance to be with him. After all, she wanted to give him some sweet memories to recall if he really went off for the mission.

“Sure.” He nodded and agreed.

After breakfast, they took a stroll outside until Angela felt tired again, so they went back into the room to take a nap. She wanted to hug him as she took a nap, but it was then the man‘s urges returned.

She was quite a naughty one as well. Despite being well aware that Richard was trying hard to suppress himself, she purposely tried to provoke himn. Once again, she was held beneath him as he straddled her. “Umph, Richard, don‘t you dare...” However, her cries of protest were instantly muffled by him and the intimacy level in the air gradually intensified.

“I love you.” Angela heard his hoarse voice confess his love and she beamed widely as she became submerged in the passionate throes.

They stayed by the seaside for three full days and Richard sent her home after their trip at last. Along the way back, she could not help her emotions and stayed silent.

She was so happy for the past three days, but after the happy moments, she knew that she had to accept the fact that he was due to leave soon.

She was aware that Richard‘s expression had tensed up after the phone call he received, so she knew that he had to depart for his mission soon.

After entering the town area, her heart clenched even tighter as they approached her home. At that moment, the man decided to speak up, “Angela, I‘ve got something to tell you.”

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1028

Angela heaved a tiny sigh as she thought, Ultimately, he‘s going to be forthcoming with me, huh?

“You don‘t have to say anything. I know what you‘re about to say. You‘re about to embark on a dangerous mission.” She lifted her head and glanced at him with a worried expression.

At that moment, Richard was slightly stunned. How did she find out?

“Your mom told me about it. I have no intention of stopping you, but all I want is for you to return in one piece.” She looked at him unwaveringly, yet there was an expectant glimmer in her eyes. “I want you to come back to me safe and sound.”

Richard parked his car by the front of her house and glanced at her hopeful, little face before reaching out to stroke the back of her head. “Don‘t worry. I‘ll definitely come back safe and sound.”

“You must keep your promise.” Angela‘s eyes were red–rimmed at that point and she could not seem to stop herself from tearing up. Over the past three days, she had tried her best to avoid thinking about this matter, but she knew that she had to face it ultimately.

“I promise I will,” he responded solemnly.

“I need you to swear.” She was not satisfied with his promise. “Swear on my life. If you don‘t return, then I‘ll even sacrifice my life just to be with you.”

At that point, he felt a pang in his heart as he replied hoarsely, “Stop that nonsense.”

Teary–eyed, she smiled and shook her head. “I‘m serious.”

“Trust me. I‘ll definitely come back safely.” Richard gave his word firmly.

Meanwhile, Angela lowered her head and glanced at her abdomen. Subsequently, she turned to smile at him. “Once you‘re back, you might even become a father then.”

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1029

Instantly, the man‘s eyes widened. “Didn‘t you say... it was a safe window?”

She shook her head and revealed a smug look. “I lied to you. That‘s why you must come back because I‘m sure you wouldn‘t want your child to address someone else as Daddy.”

Her words infuriated him, yet he could not contain his excitement. He reached out and grabbed the back of her head before kissing her roughly. “Don‘t you dare marry someone else!” Angela‘s eyes were firm and unwavering as she negotiated, “Come

home, then. If you do, then I promise not to marry anyone else but you!”

“Okay.” Richard placed his forehead against hers and promised.

Angela had done everything that she could to ensure that he came back and this was the most effective way she could think of. Despite the potential dangers involved in this mission, he had to come back alive because he had a major responsibility right here. His grandpa would be fine as he had the security of being taken care of by the.. country while his mother had her husband‘s company. However, he was solely responsible for Angela and their baby.

“I‘ll definitely be back. Trust me.” Richard planted a kiss on her forehead after saying that.

She reached out to hug him as well. “I’ll wait for you.”

She alighted from his car and watched as his car disappeared into the horizon. However, she stubbornly refused to shed a single tear.

She knew that in the near future, she would be living in long waiting days and worry. As long as he was away, she would not be able to feel at ease.

Angela took some time to recollect herself as she did not want to show her family members her anxiety. The last thing she wanted was for her parents to worry.

That afternoon, she received a phone call from Richard, informing that he was already on the plane. For the subsequent period of time, his phone would be switched off, so he wanted her to be at ease and wait for his good news.

Angela remained positive on the phone as she was confident that he would be back.

However, that night itself, she had trouble sleeping and she was up the entire night. She finally fell asleep in the morning and woke up in the afternoon. It was then she received a phone call from Scarlet, who invited her to go shopping with her in order to purchase some new clothes.

Angela was aware that Scarlet was just trying to fill up her void during this period.

As such, Scarlet‘s car pulled over discreetly in front of Angela‘s house. Since both families had not met each other before, Scarlet did not plan on entering the Meyers Residence as a guest. She picked up Angela and headed off to an exclusive shop in the town center. It was a relaxing afternoon with some teatime chit–chatting.

“Angela, don‘t worry. Do you know what my son‘s nickname is? Everyone addresses him as ‘Zeus‘ because he is such a mighty and powerful figure, who never failed any of his missions. I‘m sure that he will definitely succeed in this one and come back victorious too.”

As soon as Angela heard that, she felt much better than before as she nodded. “Yup. 1 trust him too.”

Truth be told, Scarlet was used to such anxiety as she used to worry about her husband the same way she worried about her son now.

My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1030

“Oh, I have a god–daughter and I‘ll introduce you guys to each other next time. She‘s studying abroad and gaining a master‘s degree in interpretation. She‘ll be back soon.”

“That sounds great. I would love to get to know her. She must be very outstanding.”

“Her parents are extremely close friends of ours and we have known each other for ages. They have been permanently stationed abroad for work, so this kid grew up by my side ever since she was a child. I regard her as my daughter.”

“Yea, I‘ve heard about that from Richard.”

“Her name is Ruka Singed. You can call her Ruka.”

“She sounds like an adorable girl,” Angela replied with a smile.

“She‘s two years younger than you and she‘s indeed a wonderful girl,” Scarlet mentioned with a smile.

After their enjoyable afternoon tea, Scarlet sent Angela back home at about 5.00PM. Besides, she also reminded Angela to seek her out anytime to chat if she was feeling down in the dumps.

At that point, Angela felt her spirits lifted significantly and she knew that she should not continue to wallow in self–pity. She had to keep her spirits up and wait for Richard to return.

He had an invincible presence in her mind, so she trusted that he would definitely be able to overcome everything.

Meanwhile, in a distant gorge far away from the town center of Lauchrist, several black–colored SUVs silently traveled through the forest in the dark. The cars in the fleet were covered with green fabric as camouflage and they were practically invisible to the eye.

“Send our striker team ahead to scout the route.” An instruction from their captain sounded through the headset.

At that moment, the car came to a halt and a young man sitting next to the captain opened the car door and alighted. Roy grabbed the man‘s wrist. “Richard, why are you getting out of the car?”

“Captain Anderson, I‘ll join the striker team.”

“Get back here immediately,” Captain Anderson instructed sternly. “You‘re not allowed to go.”

“I know that you have received instructions from my uncle to keep me safe, but my job here is as one of your men and I‘m not here to be protected.” Richard finished his words and struggled out of Captain Anderson‘s grip before leaving the car.

Captain Anderson had no other choice and he could merely watch as the striker team disappeared into the dark.

“Captain Anderson, this mission is much more difficult than the others. I heard that there are a few hundred men guarding the place, so the chances of us succeeding in rescuing Professor Tesla are quite slim.”

“Professor Tesla must not end up in their hands.” There was a determined look in Captain Anderson‘s eyes as he looked toward the darkened area in front. “Even if we end up with his dead body, we have to bring him back regardless.”
