Ang’s lovely face flushed. Does he have to tell everyone about our rtionship? She took a step back and grabbed Richard’s


    arm. “I will invite you all to our wedding.”


    “It will be our honor. If we can make it, we''ll definitely go.” Captain Anderson smiled cheerfully before departing with his men.


    Even though the superficial injuries near Richard''s brow ridge had scabbed, she felt pain on the inside.


    He looked at her as a flood of emotions welled up within him. He would not have survived the avnche this time if it hadn’t


    been for the courage and confidence she gave him. So, he loved her and was grateful to her, and his gaze couldn’t help but


    wander from her face to her lower abdomen.


    Ang blinked and then said timidly, “I’ve already taken a test, and I’m not pregnant!”


    Astonished, Richard murmured with a series of smiles, “I don’t want you to be pregnant either.”


    “Why?” She discovered she was not pregnant after multiple tests, which made her sad and relieved.


    “Because | still want to spend more time with just the two of us. | am not prepared to be a dad just yet.” Richard realized they had


    spent too little time together and wished they had more alone time. He wanted to prepare a home where they could live after


    marrying and having a baby.


    Ang’s face flushed once more at this. Still, she shared his view that they should wait until they had established themselves as


    a married couple before thinking about the future.


    “Hello, Mom and Uncle Walter.” He greeted his mom and stepfather.


    “It sounds like you need to get that leg checked out at the hospital. Stop dithering!” Scarlet was worried about him.


    “| will schedule a check-up for tomorrow. It’s nothing serious,” Richard reassured her.Content property of N?velDra/ma.Org.


    “Go home and get some rest! Ang, how about spending the night with us?” Scarlet asked Ang.


    Feeling awkward, she nodded slightly and replied, “Okay.” She not only had a lot to say to him but also wanted to take care of


    him because he was hurt.


    Richard got into the car with her assistance before they returned to the Husson Residence. He and Ang did not speak to one


    another in the car because the driver was present, but they held each other’s hands very tightly the entire time. She leaned back


    against his shoulders, and their cheeks were lightly touching as they took pleasure in the peaceful sensation of clinging to one


    another.


    Richard had a room for himself upon his arrival at the Husson Residence. Scarlet kept it clean and filled it with sentimental items


    from his childhood, although he rarely spent time there. Tonight, he stayed in, which made Walter very happy. Despite having no


    children, he wanted to treat him as if he were his own son.


    Since the servants hadn''t fallen asleep. they sent a scrumptious midnight snack to the third-floor living room. Scarlet was


    concerned that they were all hungry, so she ensured they had something to eat before turning in for the night.


    This time, Richard had suffered severe injuries on the mission and needed time to heal. While Ang was eating a midnight


    snack with him, she attentively stared at this man under the lights, and as she did so, she felt her love for him overflow. If there is


    such a thing as too much love for the people you care about, it will be reserved for those few whom you love with an intensity


    that seems insatiable.


    She admired each and every one of his traits and characteristics. This included his appearance, which all matched her


    preferences. It was after she had met him that she underwent such a profound transformation.


    In the past, she was just a spoiled and short-tempered youngdy. She only changed after she met him. And at this point in her


    life, she is morefortable being herself; she respects and loves herself and is working on learning to cherish others.
