The three of them went back while chatting, and next to the spring, Angela looked at the man squatting there fishing for fish. He looked like he had removed his cold and inhuman side for the time being and became a little warmer.
Her heart fluttered for no reason.
She didnât care about the fish that caused her to fall into the water at the moment but began to think about why Richard suddenly appeared there.
Did he come for me? Was he worried about me?
At this moment, the fishing net appeared before her, and the fish that was caught in the net jumped around, looking panicked.
âWow! You caught it.â Angela was overjoyed and then looked at the fish. She thought that it looked rather pitiful out of the water, so she put the net into the water.
The fish wanted to break through the net several times, so Angela sighed and said to it, âSince you look so pitiful, I'll let you go!â
After speaking, Angela turned the fishing net over and let the fish go directly while the man beside her looked at her speechlessly. Soon, she fluffed her long hair as she explained, âI forgive it. | wonât catch it and make soup with it.â
Richardâs gaze deepened a little; a girl exuding kindness was the most mesmerizing.
Angela stood up, and suddenly there was a flash of light in her eyes. She hurriedly looked over at what was shining in the middle of the spring.
âWhat is that?â Angela asked, pointing to the shiny object.
Richard turned his head to look at it. Inside a gray-white stone, there was a translucent, shiny object, but it was stuck in the rock and only revealed a small edge.
âWait here,â After Richard finished speaking, he took off his shoes and socks and went into the water to get it for her. Angela couldnât help but be moved. Is he retrieving the shiny thing for me?
Richard took the object out of the water, and it turned out to be a small, natural white crystal.
âWow! Itâs a crystal!â Angela happily took it over, blinking her beautiful and brilliant eyes.
The manâs gaze was directly attracted to her. In his eyes, this woman's eyes were clearer and more beautiful than the crystal.
â| got something good!â Angela happily held the crystal but was quickly reminded of something. âIf we can turn it into necklaces, how about we make one for each of us?â she asked the man.
â| donât wear things like that.â Richard refused.
âBut you got it out of there!â Angela was looking forward to sharing it with him.
âKeep it for yourself.â After Richard finished speaking, he sat aside and put on his shoes and socks. Angela looked at him, her gaze shining. The more he didnât want it, the more she wanted to give it to him.
I'll see if he dares to throw it away! She couldnât help but feel a sense of dominance in her heart..
âCaptain Lloyd, why are you suddenly kind enough to come to help me?â Angela sat on a rock, holding the crystal in her hand.
â| promised your parents to protect you,â Richard explained lightly.
Angelaâs eyes flashed with disappointment. It turned out that he didnât come because of her at all!
Moreover, everything he did for her now was just his duty.
âI'm not that pampered. You donât need to protect me in everything.â Angela resisted him like a rebellious child, and after she finished speaking, she stood up and pointed to the mountain road before them. âIâm going to climb the mountain. You donât need to come with me.
âDon't be ridiculous. Let's go back.â Richard stood up and ordered.
