Angela blinked her eyes. “Is there a place to eat around here?”

Richard had eaten at a farmhouse restaurant over the past few days, and the food there tasted pretty good. He nodded. “Come with me.”

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 the 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..

Just 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.

Angela handed her teacup to the man across from her. “Could you pour me another cup of tea?”

Richard lifted the old teapot and poured her another cup of tea.

Angela held the teacup in both hands to warm her hands before tasting the tea in small mouthfuls.

Richard’s lips curved into a barely perceptible smile as he stared at her with great interest.

Angela was drinking her tea when she looked up and saw the smiling eyes of the man across from her. Feeling embarrassed for a few seconds, she quickly put down her teacup and started to survey the place.

The restaurant could be described as simple and crude, but it had quite an old time feel to it. When the dishes were finally served, Angela found that she hadn’t eaten such fresh and tasty food in ages. She picked up a piece of garlic bread and started to gorge herself without her usual grace.

Sitting across from her, Richard couldn’t help finding the sight of her eating amusing. He wasn’t that hungry, but being able to see her eating so happily put him in a good mood.

Angela finished two servings of food at one go. When she let out a burp in the end, she covered her mouth in embarrassment, wishing that the ground would open and swallow her up. All she had eaten was a chicken stir-fry, a green salad, and a bowl of mushroom soup that went very well with the garlic bread, but they were all very delicious. “They’re so yummy,” she praised.

Richard stood up and left to pay the bill.

Miraculously, it stopped raining outside at this very moment. However, it was pitch-dark all around. As there weren’t any streetlamps here, many went around with the aid of flashlights.

It was still evening when they came. At this moment, however, the night was pitch-dark.

As soon as Angela stepped onto the little street outside the restaurant, Richard turned on the flashlight on his cell phone to illuminate their way back, taking her hand naturally in his. She tried to pull her hand out of his grasp, but she couldn’t; the man was holding her hand in a firm grasp.

“Richard, let go of me, okay? I can walk on my own,” Angela pleaded.

“The roads here aren’t smooth. It’s safer to let me take you by the hand.”

“It’s really not necessary. My eyesight is excellent,” Angela replied.

Just then, she suddenly heard the sound of a dog barking fiercely from an alley nearby. Frightened, she hurriedly hid on the other side of the man and clutched his trench coat tightly. “There’s a dog!”

Unfortunately, the dogs here weren’t chained up or kept inside their homes; they could run out and bark at people anytime. When heard what she thought was the sound of the dog bolting toward her, she was so frightened that her legs turned to jelly. “It’s heading this way!”

Just then, Richard stretched out his arm and took her into his arms.

In the midst of nervousness, Angela didn’t realize at all that she was hiding in the embrace of the broad-chested man and hugging him around the waist.

The dog did rush out and bark furiously at the two, but it dared not come near, as though it had a tremendous fear of Richard’s silhouette.

Richard pretended to brandish his umbrella at the dog.

Frightened, the dog hurriedly fled back into the dark alley while letting out howls of fright.

Hearing that the dog had left, Angela finally realized that she was clutching the front of Richard’s trench coat and burying her head in his chest like a coward, Feeling embarrassed, she quickly let go of him and took a step back.

The next second, however, the man. stretched out his arm and clasped her in his arms, pressing her against his chest so that his chin rested on her head.
