Chapter 946
Ang snickered.
“It’s almost winter and the snakes are hibernating. Can’t youe up with a better excuse?”
“You-” Ariel’s face continued to flush as she had never been so embarrassed before. It did not help that
Ang kept making her look bad in front of Richard.
Behind Ang was Richard himself, whose lips were slightly curved up. He did not expect her to see
him as her boyfriend so assuredly.
“Please say something, Captain Lloyd. I don’t want to be misunderstood.” Ariel whined at Richard,
feeling wronged.
Ang turned her head to look at the man behind her. Her eyebrows were furrowed, and the
resentment was evident in her eyes; it seemed like she was ming him for letting another woman hug
him so easily.
Oh the other hand, Ariel realized that it was not graceful for her to sit on the ground. As such, she stood
up while cing a hand on her waist to look frail.
“Miss Meyers, you need evidence before you make an usation. You can’t just say what you want.”
Ariel tried to defend herself.
Ang looked directly at Ariel and warned, “I’m only letting you off just this once. Don’t let me catch
you trying to seduce my man again. Otherwise, I won’t let you off the hook.”

“How so? Are you going to beat me up?” Ariel dropped the act and stood tall. She did not think that
Ang was a match for her.
Hearing that, Ang choked for a moment. As she was scrambling her mind for aeback, a deep
male voice came through. “Ariel, this is a base. You are in no ce to be so presumptuous, so keep
yourself in check.”
Richard stood beside Ang. His tall body and sharp eyes made him look majestic. He was a fierce
beast, but he was also Ang’s trusted support. Ang was also surprised, and she looked up at him.
At this moment, the eyes that looked at her were so tender that they melted her heart. It felt great to be
protected.
Meanwhile, hatred boiled in Ariel’s heart. She swore to never forget today’s humiliation, for she had
never been so insulted by someone.
“Captain Lloyd, I didn’t mean that literally. I wouldn’t dare fight at all. I can’t even kill a chick.” Ariel
quickly lowered. her voice and exined herself.
Since it was too awkward for her to stay, she turned around and left in a different direction.
As she left, Ang turned around and asked Richard worriedly, “I heard you’re in a bad mood. What
happened?”
Richard blinked his eyes at her question. Did she run all the way here because I was in a bad mood?
“I’m okay.” He shook his head as he was never one to be emotional.
She knew they were not at that stage where he would share his feelings, but she still felt dejected
nheless. “It’s okay if you don’t want to talk about it. I’m here whenever you need me.”
He felt lost, for she had misunderstood him. If he talked about his situation, it would only worry her. Her
life had always been peaceful, and he did not want these dark things to haunt her. All his life, there
were rarely unexpected situations, but she was one of them as she barged into his heart so
unexpectedly.
“Let’s head back,” said Richard. Then, he briskly turned around.
Ang stood still and looked at him with forlorn eyes like a kitten who had been abandoned by its
owner.
He sighed and turned back around. After grabbing her hand, he walked forward while she followed suit.
As they neared the base’s entrance, she pulled her hand back when they met people.
A momentter, they got their food trays and sat beside Trevor and the rest. Richard’s subordinates
were relieved to see their superior in a better mood. Indeed, it was the right decision to ask Ang to
comfort him.
However, Ang was still quite frustrated. She wanted tofort Richard, but he did not even tell her
what happened. She could not do anything.
After they were done eating, Richard asked Willy to meet him at the boxing gym at 3.00PM. He also
made itpulsory for the other three to attend.
“Can I watch too?” Ang wanted to join in.
“Sure, Miss Meyers. Come and see how badly we’d be beaten up by Mr. Richard,” said Jared jokingly.
