Chapter 968
While listening to his instructions, Angela cleaned the blood stains around her wound. Finally, after she bandaged it
and sorted out the first aid kit, she said to the man on the other end of the camera, “Do you really have to leave
the base? Are you never coming back?”
“Yes.”
“What about your engagement with Annie?”
“I‘ll cancel it.”
“C–Can‘t you consider Annie‘s feelings?”
“Do you think she‘d be happy if I married her without loving her?”
Angela couldn‘t answer this question all of a sudden, but she knew that Annie had fallen in love with him at first
sight.
“Annie really likes you.”
“Her one–sided love wouldn‘t be able to keep us together. A happy marriage requires effort from both sides for it to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwork.” He began reasoning with her all of a sudden.
Angela couldn‘t refute, but she didn‘t know what else to do.
“Besides, wouldn‘t you be sad if I married another woman?” the man questioned in a low voice.
Angela suddenly looked in the direction of the camera. Perhaps it was because they were talking through a screen,
but she found it much easier to speak to him.
“I wouldn‘t be sad if you married Annie. I‘ll be happy for the both of you and wish you the best instead. I‘ve decided
to continue my studies abroad and live there for a long time, so I won‘t disturb you.” Angela had already come up
with a back up plan.
“Then, why did you cry so sadly earlier?” He scoffed.
Angela fell silent and pursed her lips, her head lowering in embarrassment.
“Is it because of me?” Richard‘s voice sounded in the room again, as if reading her mind.
Angela took a deep breath and raised her head firmly. “I admit that I feel sad, but this sadness will only be
temporary in order to secure Annie‘s happiness. Richard, I will not allow you to disappoint Annie. You can try to
accept her and like her. I believe
that any kind of feelings can be developed.”
“If it were you, would you be able to develop feelings for another man as soon as you meet him? Are you going to
forget about me just like that?” In the room, the man‘s slightly hoarse voice carried a hint of anger and frustration.
Angela‘s heart throbbed suddenly. The conversation was about him and Annie, but why was he questioning her
instead?
“It‘s not that you don‘t know how quickly I can change my partners. I was still deeply in love with Dexter earlier, and
I would‘ve done anything for him, but I still forgot about him in the blink of an eye. Of course I can do the same with
you.” Angela‘s gaze was trained in one place, and she didn‘t dare to look up in case Richard saw her feigned look of
calmness at the moment.
At that moment, the man in the SUV faced the girl on the screen with a dark expression, seemingly boiling with
anger inwardly, and his handsome face was as cold as ice. However, there was a sense of frustration in him that he
couldn‘t seem to vent even though he wanted to.
As Angela listened to the silence on the other end, she bit her lip worriedly. Had she said too much? Did she hurt his
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfeelings? Wait, wasn‘t this what she wanted? Though it hurt now, it would guarantee Annie‘s happiness in the
future, so what was the problem?
She thought Richard would continue to talk to her, but after she waited for ten minutes without any response, she
finally exclaimed in surprise, “Richard, are you still there?”
“Richard...”
He stopped replying to her.
Angela faltered for a few moments before she took her clothes and went back to her own room. She didn‘t want to
stay in a place that he could monitor at any time.
As Angela returned to her room, she suddenly raised her head and glanced at her surroundings, fearing that even
her small room was under his surveillance. Fortunately, she did not find anything suspicious.
She sat on the bed, thinking of what she had just said to him, and she realized how hurtful it sounded, even to her.
Besides, Richard had witnessed how she had once loved Dexter and how ruthlessly she had forgotten about him in
the blink of an eye, which made her words extremely convincing, as if she could really fall in love with another man
in the next second.
However, Angela knew that it was not true, and she couldn‘t fall in love with anyone else. She had only fallen in love
with Dexter because she was lonely and sensitive
while staying abroad, and Dexter took advantage of that to enter her world.
