Only then did Angela realize what had happened. Was he unable to sleep because I did something to him last night? She only felt warm and comfortable in her sleep last night, but she had no memory of what she had done to him or if she had touched his body.
Even so, now that she thought about it, with the two of them sleeping with their bodies pressed against each other, she’d probably have touched what she wasn’t supposed to touch by accident. “I-I didn’t mean it. You get some sleep. I’m getting up,” she said while wanting to throw back the covers and get out of bed.
However, the man suddenly grabbed her arm and yanked her back under the blanket, holding her down with his arm on her chest. “It’s still early. Sleep with me for a while longer.”
Peeved, Angela stared down at the arm on her chest. She couldn’t help but push him away, saying, “You’re going too far, Richard.”
“Not as far as you did last night,” the man ridiculed in a husky voice with a smirk.
Angela instantly went red in the face. Could I have touched what I’m not supposed to touch last night? I don’t have such a fetish!
Richard let her rest her head on his arm while wrapping his other arm around her waist. “Don’t move. Sleep with me for another half an hour.”
Angela’s body tensed up. She had no choice but to plead with him, saying, “Richard, could you let go of me? We can’t do this.”
However, the man next to her didn’t answer her; all she could hear was the sound of him breathing somewhat heavily.
Angela could only try to writhe herself free of his arms. However, as soon as she writhed, she suddenly felt something on her waist. Consequently, she blushed up to her ears right away.
“Don’t move about, and don’t test my self-restraint,” the man warned in a husky voice.
Angela’s eyes reddened with anger. How could he threaten me like this? She had been quite emotionally vulnerable these days. At this moment, tears of anger streamed from the corners of her eyes. With her arms pinned to her sides by the man, she had no choice but to close her eyes in silence while shedding tears of grievance.
Suddenly, the man beside her turned sideways and propped himself up with his elbow.
She opened her eyes to look into a pair of deep, fathomless eyes. Such a close distance made him unable to conceal the emotions in his eyes. It was as if his eyes were ablaze with his love and tenderness. The look in his eyes was tender and restrained, but it was also aggressive and overbearing.
On the other hand, the look in Angela’s eyes was restrained, pained, and distressed.
As their eyes locked inches away from each other, Richard caressed her face with rough fingertips and wiped her tears away. When he placed his hand on her red lips, she closed her eyes. Then, sensing his breath approaching, she stubbornly turned her face away so that the man could only kiss her on the cheek.
The man was stunned for a few seconds as his eyes flickered. Finally, he let go of her, threw back the covers, and sat up. He said in a hoarse voice, “Fine, I won’t pester you anymore.”
He got out of bed and swiftly put on his long trench coat. When he arrived at the door, he glanced back at the lady who sat up in bed. “I’ll let them send you back tomorrow.”
Angela stared at the man in a daze just like that. Then, the tears that had been wiped away just now started falling uncontrollably onto the blanket.
Richard grabbed the door knob so tightly as though he wanted to pull the wooden door off its frame. In the end, however, he stepped out through the door and closed it without saying another word.
On the other hand, Angela’s mind was in turmoil. She sat on the bed behind him, overwhelmed by feelings of anguish.
Two hours later, Trevor and Jared pulled up in front of the inn, having cleared the mudslide last night. At this moment, they were here to pick Angela up on Richard’s orders.
Angela was downcast when she followed Trevor and Jared out of the inn. Despite her exquisite beauty, she looked lifeless from the inside out, as if she had been tortured and flogged by something intangible.
“Miss Meyers, we’ve received orders that we can now send you back to Averna safely. Please go back with us now to pack up your belongings. We’ll be going to the airport this afternoon,” Jared said somewhat reluctantly.
Angela nodded in silence. “Okay. Thank you for that.”
“Don’t mention it. It’s part of our duty.” Trevor looked at her with sympathy. I thought Angela and Richie would be able to get back together if we pushed her toward him. But now, it seems that things have gotten worse. Richie ordered us to send her back to Averna right away, whereas his whereabouts are unknown.
Angela returned to the base. She had lived here for two months, but now, she found herself somewhat reluctant to leave this place.
At 2:00PM, she got a phone call from Daphne; her family had learned of the good news and was looking forward to her return. At last, her life was no longer in danger. “Angela, I’ll throw a big party for you when you come back so that we can have fun to our heart’s content.”
“It’s not necessary, Mom. I just want to go home and rest as much as I can,” Angela. refused.
“Okay, no problem. Let’s talk about it when you come back. I miss you so much.”
At 3:00PM, Angela arrived at the airport, escorted by four team members who also accompanied her on the flight back to Averna. Seated in the first-class cabin, she kept looking at the passengers who were coming in. When she saw the flight attendant closing the cabin door, a hint of disappointment flashed across her eyes.
As expected, Richard no longer showed up around her. His mission was over, and she no longer needed protection. Now that she thought about it, they belonged to different worlds in the first place and were only bound together by the protective mission this time. They had to live their separate lives after the mission ended.
The plane took off from the ground. Now that the mission to protect Angela was over, her life would return to normal. She was the daughter of the Meyers Family. Her mother ran a listed company that was worth more than 7 billion, whereas her father was a powerful government official. As their only daughter, she was destined to live in glory.
The two-hour flight ended, and the plane touched down at the airport. When Angela emerged from the VIP passage, she saw her parents standing there. Holding a bouquet of flowers in her arms, Daphne burst into tears of joy; she ran up to Angela and hugged her, saying, “You’re back at last, my daughter.”
“Hey, Mom.” Angela patted her on the back.
Daphne’s heart ached when she saw her daughter’s makeup-free face and her washed-out clothes. “Look at you. You must’ve suffered a lot.”
Gilbert came over and looked at Angela with a sigh of relief, saying, “Angela, we’ll have dinner with our extended family this evening to celebrate your safe return. We all missed you.” Then, he said to Trevor and the other three men behind her, “Please come this evening to let our family express our gratitude toward you guys.”
“Hey, didn’t Captain Lloyd come back with you guys?” Daphne asked curiously. Richard was Annie’s fiancé, so she had to express her care for him, of course.
“Captain Lloyd left because he had something else to do,” Jared replied with a smile.
