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

However, she was unaware that right behind her, about five meters away, a man had already come after her. She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she did not realize he was there.

Therefore, the scene of her kicking the stone and injuring herself along the process was taken in by the man. He couldn’t help smiling with a slightly resigned expression. This woman doesn’t quite learn from her mistakes and she keeps getting herself into trouble!

Angela noticed that there was a bench by the side, so she slowly hobbled over. Just as she was about to take a seat, she saw from the side of her eyes that there was a person behind her. Alarmed, she instantly turned around to look at him.

She saw that it was Richard standing there with his arms crossed and she wasn’t sure how long he had been standing there.

Angela blushed bright red. He always seemed to pop up out of nowhere and ended up beside her as he watched while she made a fool of herself.

He was always there when she landed in an embarrassing situation, which made it annoying for her.

Angela bit her lips and removed her sports shoes to check on her toe. Thanks to the kick that she delivered to herself, her toe was now swollen on the nail bed..

She heard his approaching footsteps so she swiftly wore her socks again as she didn’t plan on letting him see her injured toe. After all, she didn’t want to be ridiculed by him for deserving this.

“Captain Lloyd, why aren’t you keeping Miss Graham company? Why are you here?” Angela said this slightly huffily.

Hearing this, he was slightly shocked. Then, he walked over to sit next to her. He kept his eyes on her foot that was without any shoes on. “Did you injure yourself?”

Angela acted nonchalantly and put on her shoes. “No, I didn’t. I’m perfectly fine.”

“Next time, stop doing things that will hurt you,” Richard reminded her. If he hadn’t caught her on time earlier on, she would have sustained an injury on her forehead.

Angela ran a hand through her long hair. “Thanks for your concern. Miss Graham is quite pretty. She’s stunning and hot. You’ve got a great taste, Captain Lloyd.” There was a significantly stunned look on his handsome face by then.

However, he didn’t get the chance to explain himself as Angela continued, “She must be the girl that you’re in love with, huh? I wish you guys a lifetime of happiness.

Don’t worry. I won’t bother you guys. If you can’t trust me, I can get Sean to be my boyfriend so that there won’t be any misunderstanding on Miss Graham’s part.”

Richard finally caught on to what she meant.

Angela continued to chatter on without paying attention to him, “I admit that I have some feelings toward you, but it’s just some slight feelings, that’s all. You don’t have to worry about me going after you persistently. I wouldn’t go to that extent.

All of a sudden, he realized that if he remained silent, she could go on and on. So, he decided to just remain silent to find out what she was going to say subsequently.

She took a deep breath and turned around to look at the man next to her. She scrutinized him for a few seconds with her pretty eyes, after which she asked with a slightly annoyed tone, “Are you staying in the same room with Miss Graham?”

Richard continued to be silent.

Suddenly, Angela felt as if there was a huge load on her chest and her eyes turned red-rimmed subsequently. She thought of him staying in the same room with another woman and holding another woman in his arms as they went to sleep together. Then, she reckoned that soon enough, she would probably see him showing his affections for another woman publicly.

At that moment, she wished to get away from him as far as possible. She turned her face in the other direction dejectedly and said, “Richard, can you send someone else to protect me? I don’t need your protection.”

“Why?” the man next to her asked in a hoarse voice.

Angela tried hard to suppress her emotions but suddenly, she broke down upon hearing his words. Her voice broke as she sobbed, “Because I don’t want to see you.”

After she had said that, she lifted her hand to swipe at the tears on her face.

At that point, there was a stunned expression on Richard’s handsome face and he gently pressed his large palms against her shoulders. However, she didn’t turn around to look at him but shifted her body and maintained a distance from him.

Finally, Richard realized the severity of the situation so he stood up abruptly and came to her side. Under the lights, Angela’s eyes were filled with tears and as she pursed her lips, her expression was full of desolation.

He felt a pang in his heart and his expression was one of anxiousness. Instinctively, he squatted down and reached out to stroke her face. Startled, she trembled slightly and looked at him confusedly until she realized that his rough fingers were indeed stroking her cheeks.

She was stunned in place and she wondered if this was a dream. Is this man actually wiping away my tears for me?

“Y-You should leave.” Angela realized that she should not let him continue doing that. After all, the woman he loved was there so he should not behave so intimately with her.

Suddenly, Richard heaved a sigh. Subsequently, he stretched his arms and tugged her.

An unsuspecting Angela was pulled up from her seat and her teary face bumped against his firm chest. She felt a firm arm wrapping itself around her waist and the back of her head was also firmly pressed. She was forced to remain in his arms with no other option.

“You… Richard, let go of me…” She felt then that he was such a sc*mbag.

His girlfriend was by his side and yet he was here taking the initiative to pursue her. Does he want me to become a sc*mbag like him?

“Are you dumb?” Suddenly, there was a low voice that rang out from above her head chidingly.

Angela was instantly angered. How dare he scold me! She struggled hard to lift her head and as she did that, she met his dark eyes full of annoyance and frustration.

However, she didn’t realize that underneath all that, there was some other much more complicated emotion hidden behind his eyes. He seemed to be trying hard to suppress his urges.

Her eyes glittered with tears and to him, that triggered his anger very much.

Richard was quite tempted to rap her on the forehead as he narrowed his eyes with annoyance. “You haven’t even figured out the truth and yet you’ve started to tear up into such a state. Are your tears so easily spilled?”

She found herself at a loss for words. What is he on about? I don’t get it!

“Richard, what the heck are you trying to say? Just get straight to the point. Don’t beat around the bush because I wouldn’t get it. Also, don’t you dare to scold me.” Angela flared up all of a sudden. She didn’t wish to appear as a clueless bimbo in front of him.

“Ariel just arrived at the base today and similarly, she is one of the people under protection to avoid triggering a sensitive matter. I didn’t even know her at all before this,” Richard explained in a low voice.

At that moment, Angela was rendered mind-blown and she remained in a dazed state for several seconds before covering her face with both hands out of embarrassment.

She screamed repeatedly in her mind, I should just disappear from the face of this earth! This is so mortifying! Why do I keep doing such stupid, thoughtless things in front of him?

Angela wished hard to be able to reverse time.

However, suddenly, she felt a wave of emotions and she reached out to angrily pummel his chest. Stupid guy! He could have told me about that earlier. Why did he allow me to keep on misunderstanding the situation?

“Richard, you’re such a pain!” Angela chided him angrily..

Meanwhile, he looked at her resignedly. and he could feel a headache coming.

She persisted and tried her best to push the blame on him, though. “You could’ve just told me about your relationship with Ariel earlier. You need to change your habit of keeping silent all the time. If you keep up this bad attitude, I won’t bother with you-”
