My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 901
“Miss Meyers, this way!” Trevor happily waved to her.
Angela sat down beside them after choosing her menu. Suddenly, she felt something off from the four pairs of eyes currently staring at her. After blinking her eyes, she inquired amusingly, Why are you all looking at me?“.
The four immediately looked away. They were just admiring their captain‘s future wife! What else?
“Miss Meyers, do you want to go for a walk after dinner? I‘ll take you to a place that‘s great for stargazing!” Sean suddenly suggested.
Three pairs of eyes stared at him, thinking he was digging his own grave! How dare he flirt with Miss Meyers in front of their captain?
Since Angela had enough sleep today and was worried that she had nothing to do at night, she nodded happily after hearing that they would see stars. “Sure! Where are we going?”
“There is a short way to the top of the rocky mountain. I can take you there.” Sean was not afraid of death, pretending not to notice the three pairs of eyes that were madly hinting at him.
Richard ate the food on his plate gracefully, as if he hadn‘t heard their conversation.
“Is everyone free tonight? Why don‘t we go together?” Angela thought it would be more fun if there was a crowd, so she invited the other three to come along.
The other three looked at each other and saw Sean winking at them.
“Sure! We don‘t get to relax often. Let‘s go together!” Trevor quickly understood that Sean was deliberately asking Angela out, and at the same time, he was also looking for an opportunity to invite their captain out!
“Captain, let‘s go together!” Jared said to Richard.
“I‘m busy.” Richard raised his head and refused.
“You‘ve been working for the whole afternoon. Just come and unwind with us!” Angela looked at him expectantly.
“She‘s right! Captain, you always remind us that work–life balance is important! Come with us!” Willy even joined the team to persuade him.
Richard nodded this time. “Okay! Let‘s meet at the door in five minutes and set off together.”
Angela beamed. She had hoped that Richard would come along.
Five minutes later, everyone gathered at the door and set off with a flashlight. Trevor also prepared some drinks. They were all set for their stargazing date.
Angela had never experienced strolling in the forest at night, so she was excited. While her long
hair hung looscly on her shoulders, she wore light–gray sportswear with long sleeves and trousers, as well as hiking shoes. She looked full of vigor, even in the dark
The entire team consciously let her walk in front of Richard, while ‘Trevor and Jared explored the way in front, leaving Scan and Willy walking behind, chatting
In the mountains, firctlies and swaying shadows of trees could be seen everywhere, making the whole mountain a mysterious and vibrant scene.
“Ah–” Angela accidentally kicked a stone and fell forward. Richard, who was behind her, immediately grabbed her arm and helped her stand firm.
Behind him, Sean and Willy looked at each other knowingly and smiled. They were creating opportunities for their captain.
They managed to navigate through the narrow path and admire the peculiar rocks at night. There was also a little fountain nearby, accompanied by the lively sound of frogs. Eventually. they arrived at the top of the hill. The tiled stones were suitable for lying down and gazing at the starry sky. At that moment, the starry sky in fall was clear ind cloudless, as if the Milky Way flowing through the vast starry sky was visible, which was extremely spectacular.
Richard sat on a rock, and Angela sat beside him. He stretched out his hand to pull her up, while the others lay down on the other rocks and started chatting about the fun of growing up.
Angela hugged her legs, looked up at the starry sky, and listened to their interesting stories, Compared with their colorful lives, Angela‘s life had been a regular growth process since childhood.
Since her mother was reluctant to have a second child, she became the only child in the family. She had worked hard to attend various expensive cram schools since she was a child. She was not a pianist, but she passed the eighth grade; she was not a dancer, but she had great dance skills. Her mother wanted her to take over the family business, so she went abroad to study finance. Later, however, she could not continue her studies and suffered from anxicty, so her mother made her switch to a philosophy major.
My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 902
At that time, the nerdy Angela met Dexter, hoping his love could be her redemption. However, he turned out to be a liar, which almost ruined her life.
Now, she wondered, why was life so tiring? Doing what she wanted was the best way to live in the moment.
“Willy, it seems like I still have a program to write,” Sean suddenly said and stood up.
“Now that you‘ve mentioned it, I think I have some work to do as well,” Trevor hurriedly agreed.
“Let‘s go. Let‘s get back to work. We‘ll let Captain accompany Miss Meyers to watch the stars!” Jared pulled Willy up as they all turned to leave.
“Hey! Don‘t you guys want to look at the stars?” Angela shouted to their backs.
“Miss Meyers, let the Captain accompany you! It‘s time for us to get back to work,” Sean turned back and said with a smile.
In a blink of an eye, the four people disappeared at the corner of the downhill stone, and the sound of footsteps soon faded away.
Without their boisterous voices, the mountain top suddenly fell silent as the cool night breeze brushed upon their figures.
At this moment, Angela‘s involuntarily started turning crimson. She soon realized that Trevor and the rest weren‘t trying to stargaze at all! They were just deliberately creating an opportunity for her and Richard to be alone!
Sure enough, they had misunderstood. They thought the two of them were together, so they arranged this.
She stole a glance at the man beside her and noticed that he seemed unconcerned about this matter at all as he stared at the distant starry night sky; she didn‘t know what he was thinking.
Angela couldn‘t help but smile when she saw this. Why should she bother? She should just enjoy and live in the moment.
At this point, her neck was a little sore from sitting and looking up at the stars, so she laid down on her arms instead.
As she looked at the vast starry sky, it seemed like all the worries in her mind had disappeared, and her heart felt freer.
When she looked at the man‘s straight back, wild thoughts popped up in her mind; Would Richard like a girl like her?
Did he like her, even a little bit?
“Let‘s go back!” Richard glanced at his watch and said to the girl lying behind him.
“We‘re going now?” She asked in surprise; she still wanted to enjoy the beauty of the starry night sky!
Richard noticed the drop in temperature and did not want her to catch a cold, so he nodded. “Yeah, it‘s getting too cold.”
“I’m not scared of the cold,” Angela hurriedly answered; she liked the feeling of being alone with him under the stars. Even if he didn‘t speak, the atmosphere was comforting.
Regardless, Richard had already stood up and waited for her below the stone. She had no choice but to stand on the rock reluctantly. At this moment, she was half a body taller than him. It was a rare opportunity for her to look at him from such a height.
Frankly speaking, some people didn‘t have to do anything but stand there to make people‘s hearts skip a beat. Richard was such a person.
He was looking into the distance, so silent like a statue under the moonlight. His features had just the right amount of manliness; instead of having a pair of upturned eyes that would make him popular among the ladies, his eyes were narrow and long, while his gaze was focused and determined
What was even more exquisite about him was that he exuded a sexy ascetic aura. The more serious he was, the more women desired to conquer him.
Women craved to break his abstinence and see how wild he was inside.
Angela‘s eyes couldn‘t help but fall onto his lips; the feeling she had the last time she touched it was still lingering in her heart.
Under such circumstances, wasn‘t it more reasonable if a man were to have imaginations about a woman?
Suddenly, she was dumbfounded when she seemed to realize that she was the one having thoughts about him instead.
“Captain Lloyd, can you help me down?” Angela opened her arms, and an idea popped up in her head.
Richard withdrew his gaze when he heard her; there was no hint of impatience in his eyes. Then, he reached out to hold her.
“I meant...carry...” She pursed her red lips and looked at him expectantly with her beautiful eyes.
My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 903
The moonlight was dim, so it was hard to see Richard‘s expression, but Angela felt that his handsome face was covered by shadows, making it challenging to observe his expression.
After she made this request, she began to regret it a little as she figured she would suffer the embarrassment of being rejected by him later.
Therefore, as she received no reply from him after a long time, she tried to come up with an excuse to ease the awkwardness.
“F–Forget it! I‘ll go down myself!” Once she said that, she began to look around for somewhere to place her feet. After all, the stone was more than half a meter from the ground; she was afraid she might fall.
However, at this moment, a large palm wrapped around her waist tightly, and he carried her.
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.
My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 904
Angela was stunned for a few seconds when Richard instantly kept away his phone like that: were the texts so important that she couldn‘t even steal a glance at them?
“Let‘s go back!” He stood up and said.
“Was that a girl that texted you?” She raised her head and inquired.
Naturally, he did not need to answer her. Besides, he would call off his engagement with Annie once he returned. So, there was no need for Angela to know about it.
“Since you aren‘t denying it, then it must be true! It seems like there are quite a few girls that like you!” Angela exclaimed as she stood up, swinging the torch around and shining it into Richard‘s eyes. He reached out his hand and blocked it before saying, “Be careful when you walk.”
She actually did that on purpose because she felt a little uncomfortable that other women were texting him. He was looking at the messages so seriously, and when she glanced at it just now, she noticed it was a long text. That woman might be confessing to him.
And Angela‘s guess was correct; Annie did send a long love–sick text to Richard!
Angela was strolling ahead as she was in no rush to go back. On the other hand, Richard was frowning as he trailed behind her. A woman‘s heart was like glass; he did not know how he upset her.
As she was walking, she suddenly noticed a big black shadow on the treetops in front of her and scared her out of her wits. She immediately turned around and hugged the man behind her tightly. “T–There‘s a ghost.”
When he shone his torch in that direction, he saw that it was just a frightened monkey. Nevertheless, Angela still hugged him tightly, wishing she could hang herself on him.
“It‘s just a monkey,” Richard lowered his voice and assured her.
At this moment, she also heard the monkey‘s cries; that noise in the dark also frightened her. Although she quickly let go of him, she did not dare to go far. Instead, she held onto his hand. “I‘m scared. Let‘s hold hands and walk.”
She didn‘t care whether he was agreeable to her arrangement or not. Nonetheless, she felt that there was still too big of a gap between them when they held hands, so she grabbed his arm instead, her whole body leaning onto his.
Richard let out a sigh when he noticed that she was petrified. Therefore, he pulled away and offered, “I‘ll carry you down.”
“Really?” Her eyes immediately lit up since that was what she really wanted.
He didn‘t answer with words and merely squatted down in front of her as she made herself comfortable by lying on his back. She felt safe being carried down as she laid onto his broad back
easy task to carry her down the mountain, but Richard didn‘t falter the whole time.
Although she enjoyed how he treated her, an envious thought grew in her. She thought that he would only carry one woman on his back in the future and no one else.
“Richard Lloyd, you didn‘t answer my question!” i
“What question?” Richard cocked his head slightly.
“If another female target who needs your protection suddenly shows up, and if she is young and beautiful, will you treat her like how you‘re treating me?” Angela went to great lengths to come up with this hypothetical situation.
He continued to ignore her and walked down the hill, step by step. Angela, who was on his back, stared at him with some resentment. “Is it that hard to answer this question?”
“There‘s no need to answer such a meaningless question,” he replied faintly.
“It might not mean anything to you, but it does to me,” she blurted out.
“What does it mean to you?” He questioned quietly.
She was rendered speechless by his blunt response. After all, she had never been in a situation where she would have to confess to a guy first. So, she vaguely said, “You need to answer me first. Would you treat other girls like this as well? Once, you‘ve answered that, I‘ll give you yours.”
This way, she could hear what he had to say first. If he said yes, there was no need for her to answer him.
Unfortunately, Richard remained stubborn and continued to ignore her.
Angela laid her chin on his shoulder as she waited for a moment. When she saw that he was genuinely ignoring her, she took advantage of the dark and that there was no one around to whisper in his ears, “Captain Lloyd, I actually like you quite a bit. Do you like me?”
My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 905
As soon as she confessed, Angela watched Richard‘s side profile as she waited for his answer.
She waited for three seconds, ten seconds, a minute...
Three minutes...
They were already almost at the bottom of the mountain, yet he hadn‘t even answered her.
At this point, she had given up. When she noticed that the ground was flat, she couldn‘t help but exclaim, “Let me down! I can walk by myself.”
As for Richard, he didn‘t reject her and carefully placed her down. Under the moonlight, he locked his sharp eyes onto hers, but no emotions could be seen.
Therefore, she wanted to walk past him silently, but in the next second, her arm was clasped by a firm hand.
Her heart began to thump against her chest. She almost allowed herself to be pulled by his force and into his embrace, but a cold male voice came into her ears in the next second, “Don‘t waste your time on me. It is impossible for you and me to be together.”
When she heard this, her face immediately flushed red before she turned pale again. Sure enough, she had been ahead of herself.
This rejection was simple and gave no room for argument.
“To me, you are just someone I need to protect. That‘s all. There‘s no room to talk about liking each other here,” Richard added.
Angela retracted her hands in embarrassment at his blunt rejection, pursed her lips, and endured a sense of grievance. At this moment, the monkey had returned to the branch next to her. It was probably attracted to the light as he began screeching next to her.
This time, she did not react. Instead, Richard, who was beside her, wrapped his arms around her and pulled her to his side, fearing that the monkey might attack her.
Meanwhile, she lowered her head and looked at the arms that were holding her tightly. She realized that he was just protecting her as part of his job; it didn‘t stem from any interest in her.
With her head still lowered, she quickly walked back to the base as she tried to widen the gap between herself and him. This was probably the only way that she would retain her dignity.
This was the first time in her life that her confession to a man was rejected, and her arrogant self esteem was utterly shattered.
She finally relaxed after she returned to her room and leaned back against the door. Although her face was painted with annoyance, she felt that she had done nothing wrong. She had just confessed to a man that she liked and was rejected. It was normal.
Why did Angela have to drown in self–pity? Being rejected did not mean that she was not a
likable woman!
Forget it. It was time to sleep. Tomorrow morning would be another beautiful day. Angela admitted that she was not worthy of Richard.
However, as she lay in bed, her mind began to wander. Could it be that she was with Dexter before? Or was it that because she had shown her immense love for Dexter in front of Richard, making him feel that she was a fickle, flirtatious woman?
After careful calculations, she realized that she had only been at the base for less than half a month. Yet, she had already confessed to Richard. How embarrassing! Angela thought about this again and again before calming herself down and deciding to let those feelings go and just be herself!
Early the following day, Angela got up and went for a run. She wanted to do something to distract herself; she couldn‘t utterly focus on Richard like that.
“Good morning, Miss Meyers!” Trevor and Jared greeted Angela when they bumped into her.
“Good morning,” she replied breathlessly with a bright smile.
It was evident that she was in a good mood, and this made Trevor and Jared exchange glances. They thought that the date they had arranged last night made Richard and her take their relationship to the next step!
Angela couldn‘t help but ask when she saw them, “Is it convenient for me to ask you a question?”
“Go ahead,” Trevor said, happy to help.
“Has your captain never had a girlfriend?” She asked directly.
This made Jared burst into laughter. “Miss Meyers, don‘t worry. Our captain‘s love life is as blank as paper. He absolutely does not have any exes.“.
“Yeah! We‘ve been around him for so long, yet haven‘t even seen him around a female, let alone a girlfriend. So, you can pursue him without any worries,” Trevor added with a smile.
Angela lowered her head and smiled shyly as bitterness filled her heart. Finally, she raised her eyebrows and replied, “You‘ve misunderstood. I‘m not trying to date him. I‘m just asking.
My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 906
The smile on Trevor and Jared‘s faces froze as curiosity flashed across their faces. Then. Trevor asked urgently, “Why?”
“Your captain is too good for me. I don‘t deserve him. Don‘t misunderstand us, and don‘t try to set us up, or it would be awkward for the two of us,” Angela reminded them. Running had made her hair loose, so she pulled out her rubber band; her long, thick hair swayed casually under the morning sun
This made Trevor and Jared starte. Her beauty was out of this world. Any ordinary man would fall for her if they looked a little longer.
“Alright, I‘ll go and continue my run.” She felt she hadn‘t run enough and pointed at the path beyond the mountain. “I‘ll head over there.”
“Be careful, Miss Meyers,” Trevor prompted.
Angela waved her hand as she ran into the morning fog. The mountain in the autumn, coupled with the falling maple leaves, was breathtaking. She sat on the stone beside her and noticed a fish swimming around her foot.
This made her smile. This fish was kinder than someone else!
Angela stayed here for almost the entire morning. She was unaware that back in the cafeteria, Jared and Trevor, who were about to get their food, realized that she did not show up for breakfast.
“Is Miss Meyers lost? Why isn‘t she back yet?” Jared asked worriedly.
“Exactly. She said she was going to jog up the mountain. She shouldn‘t climb it alone. That mountain is dangerous!” Trevor thought that Angela was adventurous and was afraid that she had climbed the mountain alone.
“Miss Meyers should be smarter than that,” Sean chimed in.
“Was Miss Meyers in a bad mood?” Willy asked as well.
In the room, Richard, who had been quietly eating his breakfast, suddenly got up and left.
The four men immediately looked at their captain, who had just sat down.
“Captain must be going to look for her!”
“I think he might have broken Miss Meyers‘ heart last night. When I met her this morning, she said that Captain was too good for her and that she wasn‘t worthy of him.
“How could she not be worthy? There are so many men after her,” Sean defended Angela.
Willy, who was usually a man of few words, saw the bigger picture and gave the other three a blank look. “What do you guys know? Look at what we‘re doing. We‘re all protecting Miss Meyers, even the Captain. So, how can he talk about his feelings here? It‘s precisely because he wanted to
protect and ensure that Miss Meyers is completely safe that he did not allow his personal affairs to affect his reasoning and judgment.”
“That‘s right. I seem to remember hearing from Richard that having a woman will affect his job efficiency.”
“That makes sense. So, it‘s not that the Captain doesn‘t like Miss Meyers. He just doesn‘t want to date her at the moment since we‘re working. I understand now.”
“It is also our top priority to keep Miss Meyers safe. But don‘t forget that great danger lurks behind her. So, we cannot take things lightly,” Willy reminded.
At this moment, the other three suddenly felt a rush of enlightenment through their mind.
The fog next to the mountain was still thick, clouding her view. Angela was in a daze when she heard footsteps approaching her. She turned her head and looked at the foggy path as her heart tightened.
Who was that?
Just as she was about to call out and ask, she noticed a tall, straight figure breaking out of the fog. Who else could it be other than Richard?
This made her frown. Why did he come looking for her?
However, her heart still hammered in her chest when she saw that he was here; she couldn‘t help but gently press her palm against her chest.
Calm down.
“Don‘t stay out here too long. It‘s not safe,” Richard approached and reminded her.
Angela nodded obediently. “Okay. I know. I‘ll go, back now.”
He stood there momentarily and noticed that she did not move, so he suggested, “I‘ll walk you back.”
“No, it‘s okay. Thank you. I want to sit down here a while longer. Captain Lloyd, don‘t waste your time here. Go do what you have to do,” she answered politely.
My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 907
Richard stared at her with deep eyes. He knew why Angela‘s attitude had changed. He knew that last night‘s rejection made her keep a distance from him.
“You don‘t have to worry about what you said last night.” He frowned, obviously not liking her politeness.
She blinked at him as she pulled her long hair that had been scattered on the side of her chest back. Her hair was as black as ink, making her small face extremely fair. Even her ears were fair and delicate.
“I should be the one apologizing, Captain Lloyd. I‘ve not been sensible. I kept bothering you. Please don’t take it to heart. I know how to behave from now on, and I will not offend you again,” Angela said sincerely; she had figured out last night that feelings couldn’t be forced.
Richard‘s face turned a little gloomy for some reason, and he turned around, ready to leave.
She watched his back with a bit of disappointment in her heart. Just as she was about to fall into a trance, he turned around and stared right at her with his dark eyes.
Angela did not get to withdraw her gaze in time and quickly lowered her head in a panic to avoid
his.
“We‘ll go back together,” he ordered.
When she heard his commanding tone, she stood up reluctantly, walked past him, and took the lead to head back.
For a while, she only focused on walking when a forked branch suddenly caught a strand of her hair.
“Ah...” She let out a cry in pain and quickly turned her head to see that she had hooked her hair onto a branch. So, she reached out to untangle it.
Richard, who was behind, picked up his speed. Just as he was about to help her, she stopped him.
“Captain Lloyd, we shouldn‘t be too close. I can do it.”
His hand stopped abruptly in the air for a few seconds before he retracted it.
Angela held the branch and slowly pulled her hair out, bit by bit. Once she was done, she looked at the man standing beside her like a statue and pursed her red lips.
“You can go first! I‘ll take my time.”
Once he heard her suggestion, he walked past her and actually left.
As for Angela, she slowly took her time to return to the base. The moment she arrived, she went to her room to wash her face before coming out. Trevor had already brought her breakfast.
“Thank you, Trevor. You‘re so nice to me.” She was genuinely grateful.
*Miss Meyers, all of us, including our Captain, are very nice to you.” He did not forget to sing praises about his captain to leave a good impression.
Although she was caught off guard for a moment, she nodded. “Yeah, you‘re all very kind to me. Also, did you find that lipstick?”
“Not yet,” he answered truthfully.
“I really hope you find it soon, so I won‘t have to trouble you to protect me,” she wished aloud.
“In due time, Miss Meyers. Please be patient,” Trevor comforted her.
“Thank you.” And with that, she headed back into her room with her breakfast.
Once she was done, she took her dishes to the kitchen and passed the cafe. Then, she decided to make five cups of coffee and brought them on a large tray to the meeting room where Trevor and
the rest worked.
After she knocked on the door, she pushed it open and went in, only to see Richard sitting on the main chair while the four surrounded him.
“I made you guys coffee.” Angela smiled, acting like their assistant who was hard at work.
The other four were a little flattered as they hurriedly got up and took the coffee cups from her. Finally, she put the last cup in front of Richard. “Captain Lloyd, here‘s your coffee.”
“Thanks,” he answered dispassionately.
“Miss Meyers, it smells delicious! Your coffee–making skills are amazing,” Sean praised.
“I learned how to make coffee abroad; I hope you guys don‘t mind. If you like my coffee, I‘ll make it for you every day in the future.” Angela had decided to take the initiative to find something to do to make her days more productive.
“That would be our honor,” Sean said with a smile.
She, too, beamed back at him. “I won‘t bother you any longer.”
After she left, Sean was still in a trance, watching her walk away. At this moment, Richard let out a light cough, and Sean was quickly brought back to his senses, not daring to take another look.
My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 908
As Richard sipped on his coffee and realized that his other subordinates had it too, he suddenly felt that the cup of coffee in his hand wasn‘t nice anymore.
Angela‘s coffee–making skills were excellent. Now, this mellow coffee wasn‘t limited to his tastebuds anymore.
As Angela was busy cleaning her room, Trevor handed her an iPad, telling her she could pass the time by downloading as many movies as she wanted.
This made her think that he was really considerate; although he looked unbothered, he was actually very thoughtful.
“Thank you, Trevor.”
“No problem. Just make us some coffee whenever you‘re free.”
S SOM
“Okay. As long as I‘m here, I‘ll make all of you coffee every morning,” Angela said with a smile.
With movies to pass the time, she did not have to go into Richard‘s room to borrow books. This also allowed her to avoid bumping into him. With that thought in mind, she decided to catch up on a drama.
She indulged herself in a love story the whole morning, watching the beautiful love unfold between the characters and their happy ending. For some reason, she felt a little discomfort in her heart.
Love that felt good was only in movies. Even if the hero and heroine suffered all kinds of torture, pain, and separation, they would always have a happy ending. They would walk away into the sunset and live happily ever after.
She hugged her arms and buried her head as she thought of this. In reality, the relationship between men and women had no set script. People who weren‘t meant to be would never be together.
After that, she decided to stop watching romance movies, fearing it might accidentally hurt her aching heart again.
In the evening, Angela decided to take a bath. As the public bathhouses were mostly for men, it wasn‘t very convenient for her to do so there. So, she had no choice but to head toward Richard‘s room.
When she went to pick out her pajamas, she realized that all but one silk pajama had been sent for washing. It was a long dress she had not worn because of its inconvenience.
But tonight, she had no choice but to wear that.
In fact, this nightgown was made of lace. Although it was just a long dress, it had the design of pajamas. Angela decided that she was just going to wear it.
Then, she knocked on Richard‘s door with her clothes in her arms.
“Come in,” a male voice called out from inside.
Angela pushed the door in and saw him sitting on the sofa, reading, with a book in his hand. He was obviously done with his work and was relaxing.
“I want to take a bath. Am I bothering you?” She looked at him with bright eyes.
“No.” He raised his head to reply to her but soon lowered it to continue his reading.
At this moment, she felt their interactions weren‘t as casual as before. Instead, it felt a little awkward and restrained. Despite that, she brushed it aside, closed the door, and walked to his bathroom
Soon, the sound of water followed and disrupted Richard, who was reading outside.
He closed his book directly as his long fingers reflexively caressed his lips. His eyes were unfocused as he was lost in thought.
More than 10 minutes later, the bathroom door opened, and Angela stepped out in her silk pajamas. Her long wet hair hung around her ears loosely, and her little face was a little pink. This whole scene looked a little amorous.
When Richard turned his head to look at her, his pupils shrunk. Was this woman going to wear this?
She didn‘t know what he thought as she held a basin with her dirty clothes in her hands, then she glanced at the man on the sofa and announced, “I‘ll get going now.”
“Wait.” The man stopped her in a low voice.
This made her pause in her steps as she turned to look at him. “What‘s wrong?”
“Don‘t you have anything else to wear?” He questioned in a slightly angry tone.
Angela looked down at her pajamas and asked, “Is there something wrong with my pajamas?”
There was nothing wrong with it. It was just that this pajama provoked a specific sort of imagination.
The drapey fabric showed her graceful figure, and there was lace embroidery on the front of the dress, all colored in burgundy. Although the hem of the dress was up to her knees, the nightgown was held together by a belt, which would make people wonder what was under it.

Richard reached out, picked up a camouflage coat from his sofa, walked over, handed it to Angela, and commanded, “Put it on and go back into your room.”
When she saw the coat, she realized he wanted her to go out conservatively, but she did not think
it was necessary.
“There’s no need for that, thank you.” She shook her head as she held onto the basin before turning to leave.
Just as she took two steps, her shoulders were grasped by him as he draped the oversized coat over her, forcibly covering her up.
This made her a little frustrated; this man was too overbearing!
“I said, it’s okay.” Nevertheless, Angela refused to accept his care, probably because she still had some resentment in her heart toward him.
Richard said it was impossible for her to be with him in this life, so why did he care about how she looked?
She was about to shake off the coat when a warning voice sounded above her head, “I dare you to try and take it off.”
She looked up in fright to see him staring at her expressionlessly as if he would punish her for going against him.
Then, Angela squinted her eyes, feeling a little angry. She took off the coat in front of him and threw it on the sofa before she said, “Captain Lloyd, what is the meaning of this? I won’t be your wife in the future, so why do you care what I look like and who sees me?” Then, she did not forget to add a domineering sentence, “I can wear whatever I like for whoever I like.”
No matter how calm Richard was, in the face of this provocative and alluring face, his calmness was now mixed with a sense of annoyance. This woman was probably the only one who could rile him up this easily.
Angela stared at his pair of dangerous black eyes and was inexplicably frightened. For the first time, he was looking at her with this severe and oppressive gaze. It seemed like she had really angered him.
“Whatever. I’ll stop teasing you now. I’m leaving.” She decided to take her leave before things took a turn for the worse.
Just as she was about to go out, he grabbed her wrist, and she was pulled into Richard’s embrace with the basin in between them. His face was sullen as he draped the coat over her again without saying a word. The coat was so enormous that it was up to her knees, wrapping her slender body so well that there was no trace of her pajama.
“Wear it,” he ordered succinctly.
Angela shot him a resentful look; this man was really domineering. She had already rejected his
offer, but the man clearly didn’t care about her opinions and made her wear the coat anyway,
In the end, she could only leave with his coat on.
Early the following morning, Angela changed out of her clothes and intended to return his jacket. When she knocked on the door, someone opened it, and that person was Richard. He was dressed in ordinary clothes, radiating the aura of an extravagant prince.
“Here, your coat.” She handed him his coat.
Then, he took his coat without saying a word and closed the door with a bang, startling her. As she stood outside the door, her mind began to spin.
This kind of man might not be able to find a girlfriend in this lifetime.
As Angela wandered around, she noticed a classroom that was teaching kickboxing. She stood in front of the window curiously and watched for a while. Then, she decided to walk in through the door.
Her arrival made several young boys who were practicing shy and careless. One of them couldn’t dodge in time and was punched by his partner.
When she saw this, she couldn’t help but stifle a giggle as she covered her mouth. This made the boy who was beaten scratch his head in embarrassment but did not dare to cry out in pain.
“Miss Meyers, you’re here,” Dwayne, a man in his early thirties, came over to greet her.
“Mr. Dwayne, do you have time? I also want to pick up some self-defense,” she said sincerely.
He was obviously willing to teach her when he heard this and nodded. “Of course, I have time. As long as Miss Meyers is keen on learning, I can teach you some simple self-defense techniques.
“Really? Thank you so much,” she thanked him gratefully.
“All right, come on! I’ll teach you two moves right now, and we’ll see how good your reflexes are.” He was enthusiastic about teaching her.
My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 910
Angela had never tried combat sports before and appeared a little clumsy. However, her coach Mr. Dwayne, adeptly clasped her hand, stood behind her, and wrapped his arms around her, saying, “Think of a way to fight back if I’m the bad guy.”
She didn’t feel restrained because of such close contact, and the trainees on the side were enthralled watching her.
At this time, Trevor happened to pass by the window, and when he heard the sound, he hurriedly glanced over. The sight stunned him because he saw Mr. Dwayne hug Angela from behind on her waist before pressing her to the ground.
Even though Mr. Dwayne was clearly teaching boxing, Trevor thought this was inappropriate! After secretly recording the scene for over ten seconds, he dashed toward the conference room. He rushed in front of Richard as soon as he entered the door.
“Richie, Miss Meyers is having boxing training with Mr. Dwayne. Please take a look.” Trevor showed Richard the video of Angela being pressed against her shoulder while Mr. Dwayne knelt on one knee on her back.
After a while, Jared joined in on the fun, and when he saw the video, he envied Mr. Dwayne.
“I believe it would be more appropriate for you to instruct Miss Meyers, Richard,” Jared said,
Richard’s brow furrowed once he heard that suggestion; Angela must have had a lot of free time.
“Richard, take over Mr. Dwayne’s job! This is something you should do. I’m worried Mr. Dwayne will injure Miss Meyers if he uses too much force.” Trevor purposefully provoked Richard, making him leave.
“Yeah! If Miss Meyers sprains her slender arms and legs, she will have to rest for a month,” Jared added.
“Which training room is she in?” Richard asked, closing his laptop.
“It’s located in the north,” Trevor responded quickly.
With that, Richard stood up, pushed open the door, and walked out. Trevor and Jared trailed behind him to watch the fun as well. They were looking forward to seeing how Richie would train Miss Meyers.
Before Richard could open the door, he heard Angela cry and moan as if she was being tortured. As a result, his brow furrowed, and his pace quickened.
When Richard entered the training room, Mr. Dwayne had trapped her arms and waist while he coached her on methods to counterattack.
Richard’s eyes narrowed, and a look of displeasure flashed across his face. He was aware that close contact was required for this type of self-defense technique, but the scene bothered him.
un
“Mr. Richard,” someone greeted.
When Mr. Dwayne saw Richard approaching, he immediately released Angela’s arm and said, “Captain Lloyd, you’re here.”
The practice left Angela out of breath as this self-defense technique was challenging. She was already perspiring after only two training sessions.
“Mr. Dwayne, let’s continue,” she said, looking at Richard, who had unexpectedly appeared.
Dwayne was about to resume his training when he was met with Richard’s piercing gaze.
He was taken aback and immediately realized the significance of Richard’s stare. As a result, he looked at his watch and exclaimed, “Oh! I have another meeting to attend. Miss Meyers, I won’t be able to train you, so I’ll let Captain Lloyd take over. I have to leave right now!”
Dwayne ran away after speaking. There were some scandals involving Angela and Richard in the base.
As the training coach, Dwayne was naturally able to read the room.
When Angela saw Dwayne leaving, she asked while rubbing her aching arm, “Captain Lloyd, do you have time to teach me?”
“I can teach you as long as you want to learn,” Richard said as he nodded slightly.
She smiled, remembering the tricks that Mr. Dwayne had just taught her. This is an excellent opportunity for revenge. I’m going to kick his ass.
“Come on then! Teach me some moves.” Angela was eagerly welcoming him. She was willing to learn if he wanted to teach her.
Trevor, who had just entered the room, looked around at the trainees who were enjoying themselves as they watched the scene play before them. “Sorry, Richard wants to teach in private, so please leave,” he said in a rush.
