Angela took off his military greatcoat since it’d be inconvenient for her to wear it while going out.
Looking at the rain outside the window, she felt inexplicably annoyed. If only it wasn’t raining
The two came downstairs to the first floor entrance. Richard opened the umbrella and stretched out his
hand toward her, but she didn’t let him take her by the hand. Instead, she stepped under the umbrella.
The next instant, however, a muscular arm reached out and hooked around her waist imperiously..
“Don’t do this…” Angela implored instantly.
Richard turned to look at her, saying. “If you get wet, you’ll have no clothes to change into.”
Angela felt helpless at once. Indeed, if she got wet in the rain, she’d have a rough time tonight. As
such, she had no choice but to put up with the arm around her waist and follow him toward the street
across from them.
The restaurant was the only one in town that was still open for business at night. It was located deep in
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe mountains, where resources were limited and the people were hardworking and adorably
unsophisticated.
The instant she stepped into the restaurant, Angela pulled the large hand away from her waist. At this
moment, there were several tables of customers eating at the restaurant. When a few men saw her,
their jaws dropped in astonishment as if they’d seen a fairy coming down to earth.
Under the incandescent light, Angela combed her thick waist-length hair with her fingers, revealing a
fair face with delicate and charming features. She looked confident and radiantly beautiful in her
fashionable pearl-buttoned overcoat, which helped her make a stunning appearance like a movie star.
All the men in the restaurant saw her at first glance, but they didn’t notice the tall figure closing the
umbrella behind her.. Their eyes were fixed on her, with some showing a hint of lewd amusement.
Just then, the man behind Angela put away his umbrella. Putting his arm naturally around her
shoulders, he looked tall, imposing, and extraordinarily handsome.
Richard noticed those eyes staring at Angela at a glance. In an instant, he darted his eyes warningly
over each of the men who were leering at her without restraint.
Subsequently, these men instantly sensed an overwhelmingly oppressive presence; the man standing
behind the pretty lady was giving off a dangerous aura that struck a chill into the hearts of all of them.
As a result, they promptly lowered their heads and continued eating.
Richard led Angela to an empty table, where she sat down while he proceeded to order food. Having
always lived high on the hog since she was born, she had never come to such a countryside restaurant
before, so she felt especially ill at ease.
On the other hand, some men couldn’t help but eye her up and down in secret.
Inadvertently, Angela made eye contact with a bearded man. When she saw the man staring fixedly at
her, she hurriedly avoided his gaze-she was unused to being stared at like this..
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJust then, Richard returned to his seat with two washed cups in his hands. He picked up the teapot and
poured her a cup of tea.
Taking the cup of tea from him, she took a sniff at it and was surprised at how refreshingly fragrant the
tea was. Seems like there’s an abundance of produce in the mountains.
Even the ordinary tea smells so intoxicatingly pleasant. She was freezing all over, so it made her feel
really warm to have a drink of hot tea. She couldn’t help but hold the teacup in both hands and finish
the tea in sips while it was still hot.
The man across from her gazed at her intently as the fathomless eyes under his thick eyelashes
reflected how adorable she looked while drinking tea.
