Night of Destiny ( Anastasia Tillman )
Chapter 877

Chapter 877

Although Angela had only stayed there for a day, she could already feel how genuine and sincere

everyone was, unlike the unforgiving people with a hidden agenda who used to surround her. Because

of that, she started to fall in love with the relaxing environment.

While having her meal, she proceeded to read a book but soon felt sleepy while doing so. Thus, she

covered her face with it and unknowingly dozed off shortly after.

When it was 9.30PM at night, Richard opened the door and entered the room, thinking Angela must

have already returned to her room by then, only to see her sleeping on his couch.

At the sight of that, he couldn’t help but feel annoyed, replaceing the lady troublesome. The next second,

he walked closer to her and lifted the book that was covering her face, revealing her good looks in the

illuminating light. With her long hair right behind her head, her beautiful appearance, coupled with her

smooth skin, accentuated her elegance.

Richard squinted, realizing it was his first time ever looking and admiring a lady’s good looks so closely;

it was as if Angela’s face was a portrait on display for his personal enjoyment.

In the meantime, the rosy cheeks and her thick eyelashes, along with her high nasal bridge and full red

lips, were especially some of the most notable facial features on Angela’s face.

As Richard continued to keep his eyes on the lady’s face, he somehow began to feel suffocated, his

body tensing, especially at the sight of her red lips.

Feeling a strange urge that was surging through him on the inside, he then stood up and left the room

immediately, as if Angela was some sort of disease that was attacking his heart.

On the other hand, she remained asleep until a loud bang on the door woke her up. She then opened

her eyes and sat bolt upright irritably shortly before she wondered why she fell asleep in Richard’s

room.

After that, she took a look at the time and realized it was almost 10.00PM, feeling bewildered that he

was still not back in his room at that hour.

Then, Angela stood up from the couch, feeling better in her ankle because it was now less painful,

much to her relief. So, she limped out of Richard’s room and made her way back to hers..

On the other hand, Richard was covered in sweat from head to toe, as he was playing basketball alone

on the court, putting more effort than usual into every shot without giving himself a break. As he

managed to score a three-point goal in several consecutive shots, his subordinate happened to run into

him.

“Why are you still, Richie?” Sean asked.

“I can’t sleep.” Richard aimed at the basket and took his shot accurately, looking very much like a

professional basketball player.

“Let’s play together.” Sean suggested that they played a basketball match.

The same night, Angela was sound asleep, as she could finally have some peace of mind, thanks to

the forgiving people and environment there. However, she quickly sensed something strange in the

next

three days when she noticed Richard’s absence both in the canteen, the field, and even his room.

Since his room wasn’t locked, she could go in and out of it freely but failed to replace any signs of the man.

When she finally ran into Trevor, she asked, “Trevor, where is Richard?”

“He is away for the next few days.”

“When will he be back?”

“He didn’t mention that.”

After hearing that, Angela was annoyed with the fact that Richard didn’t tell her head before he left.

Without Richard around, she felt as if something was missing in her life, with less joy and more

boredom.

Because of that, she would carry a book with her to the canteen every day and spend the entire

afternoon there. Soon, a week passed by without Angela realizing it by herself as she began to get

used to Richard’s absence, but even So, she would still occasionally wonder when he would be back.
