Filed To Story: Finding the Secret Daddy for My Baby Novel

There was another silence on their way back. Just then, it occurred to Angela that there was only a street in the center area of the town. Could there be a hotel? Don’t tell me there isn’t even a hotel!

Indeed, there wasn’t any hotel here. There was only a small three-story inn, which was the only lodging in town.

After parking the car outside the inn, Richard was the first to step out, whereas Angela stayed in the car, waiting. Staring at the heavy downpour outside the car, she found herself caught in an awkward situation for a moment. There isn’t an umbrella. How am I supposed to get out of the car? I’ll get drenched to the skin in a few minutes after doing that.

Just when she was hesitating, she saw Richard taking an umbrella from the back seat before opening it and walking toward her. When the car door opened, she looked at the man holding the umbrella. Standing in a charmingly erect posture, he stretched out his hand toward her.

Angela didn’t ask him to help her out of the car, but the SUV was too high above the ground. When she stepped out of the car, the man naturally grabbed her arm to support her. Flustered, she hastily. stepped back. Just when she was about to step out into the rain, he yanked her into his arms with great strength.

As a result, her body was pressed directly against his. Outside the umbrella was a raining world, whereas under the umbrella was a small world that only belonged to them.

Exasperated, Angela looked up, saying. “What are you-”

The next second, however, the man put his arm affectionately around her shoulders and took her into the inn.

Before Angela came to her senses, Richard closed the umbrella and walked toward the counter. He said to the landlady, “Get us a room, please.

The instant Angela heard this, she quickly dashed over. “Two-we’d like to have two rooms. Thank you.”

“Sorry, miss, but there’s not a room available, let alone two,’ replied the landlady. She explained with a sigh, “Many who collect herbs in the mountains are staying here because of the downpour, so all our rooms are occupied today.”

Angela’s mind went blank for a few seconds. There’s no available room anymore? What should we do then?

Suddenly, the landlady looked at Richard with a smile. “Hey, dude, aren’t you staying in one of our rooms?”

“Mm-hm.” Richard nodded..

Dumbfounded, Angela instantly turned to look at him. “You have a room here?” “Why would you ask for two rooms, then? You two can stay together in his room,” the landlady suggested candidly.

Angela instantly blushed crimson. She quickly waved her hand and denied, “No, you’ve got the wrong idea, ma’am. We’re not a couple However, the sharp-eyed landlady had seen them coming in with Richard’s arm wrapped around Angela’s shoulders just now. Even if they’re not a couple yet, they’re definitely seeing each other. She replied with a smile, “You two make a wonderful couple. This dude is so handsome, and you’re so pretty Feeling bitter deep down, Angela didn’t want to argue with the landlady anymore. She said to Richard, “Let’s go back to your room”

Richard took her by the hand and walked toward the stairs beside them.

Miffed, Angela struggled to break free of his hold. “Don’t take me by the hand. I can walk on my own.”

Richard then let go of her.

They went all the way upstairs to the last room on the third floor before pushing the door open. The room was very shabby, with no trace of modernity, even its decor was styled in the 90s. At this moment, however, Angela couldn’t be picky about anything. It was good enough for them to have a place to shelter from the rain.

Apart from a king-sized bed, there was only a small chair here. Standing in front of the window, Angela stared at the raindrops, feeling as though she were cut off from the rest of the world.

Just then, she sensed an oppressive presence behind her. When she turned around, she saw that Richard was standing only a step away from her. She instinctively stepped back, only to find herself with nowhere to retreat to since she was standing in front of the window in the first place. Instead, she was startled when her heel kicked against the wall.

“Are you so scared of me?” Richard asked quietly with his eyes locked on her facial expression.

Angela wasn’t afraid of him, but she wanted to keep her distance from him at all times. It was as if only by doing so would she be able to face Annie with a clear conscience.

“I’m not scared of you. It’s just that I don’t want to get too close to you.” She raised her chin slightly with a somewhat stubborn expression on her palm-sized face.

Suddenly, Richard leaned over to her.

Angela’s eyes started slightly. What is this guy doing? Don’t tell me he wants to take advantage of the situation to do something to me? “W-What are you doing?” She quickly turned her face away as her breathing became irregular.

Richard just wanted to test her reaction at first. Seeing how she turned her face away in disgust, he straightened up and pointed at the bed, saying. “You sleep on the bed. I’ll sleep in the car.”

Angela was dumbstruck for a few seconds. At once, she was ashamed of how she had treated him just now. She bit her lip, saying, “It’s freezing in the car.

Why don’t you stay in the room instead?” It was a winter night, where the temperature could go as low as six degrees Celsius. Moreover, with today’s rain, the temperature would definitely.

drop even lower. “Are you sure about that?” the man asked in a husky voice.

Biting her red lip, Angela replied, “You can stay here as long as you don’t get overfamiliar with me.”

“You can trust me, Richard promised in a deep voice.

Angela also trusted his character, which was why she told him to stay. And besides, the situation right now was too difficult for him. Even though she felt guilty toward Annie, she couldn’t chase the man out of the room and let him freeze in the car all night.

Seeing the remote control for the air conditioner, she couldn’t help but press the buttons on the remote control several times, only to find that the air conditioner didn’t respond no matter how she pressed the buttons. ‘Don’t tell me it’s broken.” She let out a groan of vexation while standing under the air conditioner.

“It is broken,” Richard said to her positively with his arms folded.

“How are we gonna spend the night when it’s so cold? I’m not bundled up or something. Angela groaned. At this moment, her hands and feet were as cold as ice, so much so that she had to rub her hands together to warm herself up a little. There’s no air conditioner right now? How am I gonna survive the night, then?

Richard noticed that her face was pale with cold. Her clothes only looked good on the outside, but they couldn’t keep her warm. On the other hand, he still had a military greatcoat in the car. He stood up. pushed the door open, and went out.

Angela watched the door close. Not knowing where the man was going, she could only sit on the bed while gloomily pondering what to do next. She wondered when the mudslide would be cleared, though she hoped it’d be cleared as soon as possible since she didn’t want to stay with him for such a long time.

At this very moment, she was somewhat afraid of him. She feared that her willpower wasn’t strong enough, that she couldn’t resist his charms, that she would find herself involuntarily attracted to him, and that she’d do something that made her feel guilty toward Annie.

Just then, she heard the sound of the door being pushed from the outside.

Richard came in with a heavy military greatcoat hung over his wrist. Without saying a word, he draped the greatcoat around her shoulders as she sat on the bed.

Dumbfounded, Angela stared at him. So he went out to get the greatcoat for me? “Thank you,” she said. She did need the greatcoat, though it had his smell on it. This greatcoat is probably his, she thought.

It was getting dark, but the rain was still pouring down with no signs of stopping. Suddenly, Angela’s stomach let out a growl in the quiet room, causing her to clap her hand over her stomach in embarrassment. She was hungry, but she could only eat liquid food after having just had a high fever. Because of that, she hadn’t eaten much since this morning.

“Let me take you somewhere to get something to eat,” Richard said to her.
