My mystery lover novel (Richard and Amy)
Chapter 282 Be Caught in the Heavy Rain

When Amy was in a daze, she was held into the cave. As soon as she went in, a lightning bolt struck down. Then came the heavy rain.

"Why did you follow me?" Amy didn't need to look back and knew who was holding her inside. She recognized the familiar smell and she knew it must be Richard.

"Miss Newell, please watch your mouth. I didn't follow you. I was just chasing rabbits around here, and I got here by accident." Richard let go of her and walked into the cave. It was dry, but it smelled like a rabbit warren.

Hearing what Richard said, Amy didn't answer back. She didn't want to argue with him. She would just stay here and take shelter from the rain. Before the rain stopped, nothing would happen between them. They just cooperated with each other.

Amy found a place to sit down. It was raining heavily outside and the gust of wind blew up the grass in the midair. Should she invest in this place? The weather was too strange?

"Mr. Carter, I think the weather is a big problem for our investment. Visitors will hold back if they encounter such weather." Amy didn't look back. She just stared at the rain. Lately, every time she met Richard, there would be heavy rain.

"The rain here is not casual. There are no buildings to shelter from the rain. And the rain in the mountains will not last long. I estimate it will stop in half an hour. When the rain stops, you will see totally different scenery. If we're in good luck, we can see the brilliant scenery after the rain." Richard opened his bag. He had got a lot of stuff in his backpack.

"Though the cave is dry, there are bugs or something like that. Your skin is prone to be stung. Take a seat inside. It's cold at the entrance." Richard laid a soft cushion for Amy.

Amy looked back at the thick cushion, which looked so warm, and she knew it must be very comfortable to sit there, but she didn't get up immediately.

"I don't have any evil idea. We're here for the cooperation and I don't want you to get sick. We still have to discuss the project," said Richard with a straight face.

"Yes, we are just for the cooperation and nothing else. If I get sick, the project will be postponed," thought Amy.

Amy got up, walked over to the cushion Richard had laid and sat down. It was comfortable.

"Here is warm water. I know you brought mineral water, but some warm ginger water will keep you warm." Richard gave Amy a thermos.

Amy took a sip. The sweet brown sugar and the spicy ginger immediately warmed her up.

She looked up at Richard and felt that he was very careful. He had got all things ready. Did he know that it would be raining today?

"Finish it, I have more." Richard didn't sleep at noon as he needed to get these things ready. He knew the weather in the mountains would be variable, so he had to get everything ready.

Amy then finished the brown sugar and ginger water. She now felt much more comfortable. She was really tired after tracing the rabbit.

Richard then took a blanket out of his backpack and threw it to Amy.

"Take a rest, and I'll go and see what is in the cave and make a fire, or the cave will get very cold if the rain doesn't stop." Richard put his backpack on the ground and went inside the cave to see what else he could use.

Amy listened to him and lay down on the cushion with the blanket covering her. No wonder Allison had an obsession with Richard. Richard was really thoughtful. Luckily, she was rational and wouldn't get hooked.

It was raining harder and didn't mean to stop. Amy wondered where the vice mayor sheltered himself, so she gave him a phone call. But there was no signal in the cave. She could only use her phone to check the time now. It was six o'clock now! How time flies!

Although she was very full at noon, she was a little hungry at this time. She was happily running after the rabbit and consumed too much energy. Amy rolled over, found a biscuit from her bag and took some bites.

"Don't eat biscuits. I have hot soup and rice, and some meat. You can have some." Richard came out of a hole with a bundle of firewood and grass.

"Looks like it has been frequently visited by hunters. I thought it was a rabbit warren, but it is not. With firewood and grass, we can make a fire to warm ourselves." Richard put the firewood in the middle of the cave. Then he took a lighter from his bag and made the fire.

But Amy was still eating her biscuit, instead of taking Richard's soup and rice. Seeing Amy was still eating biscuit, he walked over and took the biscuit away.

"Why are you robbing my biscuit? Amy stared at Richard...

"I will share mine with you, and that will be fair." Richard ate all the biscuits, opened the thermos, poured out the hot soup and gave it to Amy. Then he poured himself a bowl, and took out some meat for Amy. "Didn't you say the rain would stop in half an hour? Why hasn't it stopped yet?" Amy pointed to the rain outside and asked Richard.

Seeing that Amy wasn't eating his food, he ignored her and continued to have soup and meat.

"Did you hear me? What do you mean, Richard?" Amy asked again as Richard didn't pay attention to her.

"Just have some food. I don't know what the weather is like. I was just guessing." Richard shrugged.

Amy thought for a moment. All right. He might not know when the rain would stop. Looking at the steaming soup and smelling the aroma of the soup and meat, Amy became hungrier. The cookies couldn't get her stuffed at all.

Richard's eyes narrowed as Amy picked up the hot soup. What a stubborn girl!☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
