Chapter 555 – Finding the Secret Daddy for My Baby Novel

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

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.”

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 stare. 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.

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.
