Angela was shocked by his words while her face reddened. “W-What are you saying?” she stammered.

Looking at his serious expression, she knew that he was not joking around. If he had to, he would drag her to the bathroom and clean her up personally.

“I’ll go… I’ll wash myself up.” Angela knew that he was a man who stood by his words. She quickly scrambled off the couch and rushed to the bathroom.

Watching her figure, Richard breathed a sigh of relief only to realize that she was so frightened that she had not brought any clothing with her when she went to the bathroom. Just as he got up and opened the door, he saw four men standing by the pole outside the door. All of them looked at him with worry.

“You didn’t have a fight with Miss Meyers, did you, Richie?” Trevor asked hastily.

“Is she hurt?” Sean added.

“Go on with your own things,” Richard replied and walked toward Angela’s room.

Inside the bathroom, Angela stood under the showerhead as the water fell upon her, not knowing if it was water or tears that streamed down her face. She didn’t bother taking off her clothes and just sat on the floor as she closed her eyes, feeling the warm water melt the frigidity of her skin.

Never did Angela think that she would use this kind of action to hurt Annie. Even if Annie had no clue about her and Richard, what had been done was done, and she was guilty about it. At this moment, Angela felt embarrassed, like she had made an unforgivable mistake.

“I’m sorry, Annie,” Angela whispered as she hugged herself.

At that moment, the door was open, and Richard came in with her clothes and even undergarments. He walked up to the bathroom door and knocked on it. Only then did Angela notice that she was still sitting on the floor. She shouted in the door’s direction, “I’ll be out in a second.”

“I left your clothes outside. After you’re done, come out and change into them,” Richard reminded her.

Realizing that she had not taken any clothes with her, Angela replied, “Okay.”

She pulled herself together, undressed from her wet clothing, and then bathed. After finishing, Angela looked at the only towel hanging there and closed her eyes hopelessly. The towel was the one that Richard used often, and she would take her own towel if she were to take a bath at his place. Now, it seemed like she could only use his towel at the time.

Wrapping the towel around, Angela thought that Richard must have left the room. So, she could quickly get her clothes and change them inside.

She thought as she opened the bathroom door and wore the flip-flops that she had left here. From now onward, Angela felt that everything she had done at this moment was hurting Annie more and more. So she decided that after today, she would not enter Richard’s room ever again and would take away the belongings that she had left at his place.

Just as she walked out of the corridor that led to the bathroom and entered the living room, she was shocked. To her surprise, Richard didn’t leave as expected and was sitting by the table, looking at her like a soaked-through statue.

Angela was scared to death and immediately wanted to hide back inside the bathroom as she was only half covered, but her flip-flops gave out, and she slipped since the floor was wet.

“Ahh…” The more panicked Angela was, the more she didn’t know what to do. In the end, she fell to the ground.

At that moment, Richard stood up from the chair as Angela knelt on the floor, propping herself with one hand while clutching her robe tightly with the other. She looked like a mess. What was even worse was that there was a sharp pain coming from her knee.

Just then, he crouched in front of her. Noticing him, she froze and begged him all of a sudden. “Don’t… Don’t look at me. Please, I beg you. Leave!” she cried.

No matter how tightly she clutched her robe, she was already an embarrassment. Furthermore, how much could she cover herself up as she only wore a robe?

Looking at her pained expression, he furrowed his eyebrows. Her pleas stung his heart even more; such intense pain was nothing he had ever experienced before.

The more Angela begged him to leave, the more he stood there. Suddenly, he reached his arms out, which startled Angela, making her raise her head and look at him. But, their gaze did not meet with each other. Richard wasn’t even looking at her; he was respecting her in his own way.

Angela took a deep breath and trembled when Richard’s arms went under her armpits and knees.

Richard carried her bridal style and placed her on the couch. The bleeding wound stuck out like a sore thumb on her fair skin as it was creating bruises around the skin. After covering her up with her jacket, Richard went to the cabinet and returned with a small first aid kit.

Tears were threatening to fall from Angela’s eyes, but not from the pain of her wound; it was because she hated how useless and miserable she was now.

The more she wanted to keep her distance from him, the more she couldn’t do it. When Richard crouched down, he raised his head and saw the tears that she was holding back. He furrowed his eyebrows and said coldly, “You don’t have to be like this. With or without you, I will still cancel the engagement with Annie.”

Listening to his words, Angela could only look at him with her eyes widened, and the tears just fell right down.

At this moment, she didn’t know whether to feel sorry for Annie or be mad at herself. Either way, this relationship between them shouldn’t even exist.

“Annie is a good girl. She is pretty and has a cheerful personality. You should give her a chance,” Angela lowered her head and advised him.

Richard was gently using a cotton pad to help her stop the blood. Unlike Angela’s usual self, who was scared of pain, she now felt nothing and allowed him to bandage her up.

“I know whom I want to be with. You don’t need to tell me that,” he replied as he tidied up the first aid kit.

Furious by his answer, Angela bit her lip, coming up with the best argument she could. “You can’t do this to Annie, Richard. She really loves you. The night before the engagement, she called me, saying that she fell in love at first sight with you and was glad you were the one and not any other. You can’t disappoint her.”

Hearing her words, Richard stopped what he was doing and furrowed his eyebrows. On the engagement day, the whole Meyers Family was supposed to be there, but Angela was left out because she was being protected.

“If only I had gone to the engagement that day, that would be nice. Then, we wouldn’t have made this mistake.” Angela sighed as if she hated everything she had done up until that moment, not realizing the darkened expression of the man beside her.

“When Annie called me, I should have asked what her fiancé’s name was. If I knew that it was you, I would have… I would…” She stopped what she was saying when she came to this point.

“You wouldn’t have been in love with me, would you?” Richard continued her words for her coldly.

Angela raised her head abruptly and corrected him. “I am not in love with you. I was just having a good impression of you, and it was not love. Don’t you get the wrong idea.”

Crossing his arms together, Richard eyed her coldly as he watched her trying to deny her feelings for him, which was not a pleasant sight to see. He wondered how she could be doing so in just a day when she was so into it when courting him.

“So, are you saying that getting to know me is a mistake?” Richard gritted his teeth and asked.

“It’s not just a mistake, it’s a huge mistake.” Angela replied with a look of annoyance, her beautiful eyes flashing with anxiety as she continued, “I shouldn’t have gotten to know you, and you shouldn’t have appeared in front of me.”

Richard’s expression darkened, and he couldn’t even help but ball his hands into fists.
