Chapter 1004


    After she took merely two steps forward, the man held her hand at which she attempted to shake him


    off. However, it was a futile endeavor due to his strength, so she just let him be in the end. Whenever


    there were crowds, he even wrapped his arm around her shoulders like couples did.


    “Wanna drink something?” he asked.


    She happened to see a coffee shop. “I want some brewed coffee. Let’s have one as we walk.”


    “I’ll get it for you.” He then released her.


    Her lips pursed into a thin line as she tried to smother a smile while nodding. She watched his upright


    figure striding toward the coffee shop; the tight knitwear and ck pants disyed the alluring yet


    sturdy outline of his broad shoulders and slim waist under the streetlights in the park.


    Her heart palpitated at such a pleasing sight as if she had returned to the moment when she first fell for


    him in the base.


    Soon, Richard approached her with two cups of coffee in his hands and she took one of them. To have


    a stroll in a park with a warm and tantalizing coffee in the onset of winter was a delight to relish in.


    The both of them kept quiet while rounding the park; the ambiguous atmosphere lingering around them


    felt better than ever.


    After a while, Richard piped up, “My grandfather wishes to see you.”


    Ang looked at him in shock. “Did your tell him about us?”


    “I didn’t tell him that it’s you. I just told him that I have someone I like and he wants me to bring her to


    him as soon as possible. He gazed at her withforting eyes.This is property ? N?velDrama.Org.


    ‘B-But I haven’t sorted out my thoughts yet. Let’s talk about itter. She recalled. the dinner she had


    tonight and the discussion shared between Jennifer and Daphne. It was evident that Jennifer was


    irritated by the marriage cancetion.


    Furthermore, her mother’s words. indicated that it would be better for her to stay away from this man


    for now. Otherwise, Daphne would be a joke to others.


    A glint flickered in his eyes and he sighed. ‘Fine. We’ll talk about it some other day. We’re not in a rush


    for a marriage anyway”


    Now, it was Ang’s turn to be confused. He was talking about how much he wanted to marry me right


    away, but why is he saying that there’s no rush?


    In fact, he could not level with her that he had another mission to undertake, which would put his life on


    stake. Thus, he could not guarantee his safe return and hence the repose.


    Just as she was about to question him, he wrapped his arm around her shoulders. “Let’s head home.


    The wind is strong.”


    Her instincts were telling her that something was on his mind, but he had no intention of telling her.


    Is he hiding something from me?


    When they entered the car, someone in a nearby vehicle was holding a camera facing them. Ang’s


    face was in most of the photos.


    However, Richard was oblivious of it due to the far distance in addition to the trees.


    He started the car and drove toward Ang’s ce. She kept ncing at him along the way back


    home. She realized that she was not the only one gued by colossal thoughts in her mind; even his


    eyes were giving his deep rumination away.


    Did something happen?


    “Has something happened to youtely?” she inquired out of concern.


    “No.” He shook his head.


    The sudden sense of helplessness washed over her, for he would probably still keep it to himself even


    if there was a problem: not to mention she was keeping her distance with him now. It was normal for


    him to do so.


    Once they arrived outside her house, she remained seated in the car as she suddenly felt like


    apanying him longer.
