My Baby’s Daddy

Chapter 871
Richard did not realize that his gaze lingered on her face for several seconds longer.
“Okay,” he responded simply.
“I’ll head to bed now. Good night.” Angela waved at him before leaving with her clothes. She did not notice that she dropped an article of clothing as she exited the bathroom.
When Richard set his book down and prepared to shower before bed, his eyes were drawn to something pink on the floor. He instinctively reached down to pick it up.
All at once, his eyes quivered.
It was a woman’s underwear.
He tossed it into the laundry basket. His heart was beating a little quicker than usual as he thought to himself, What a clumsy and forgetful woman!
Meanwhile, she returned to her room and proceeded to lay in bed. From her position, she could look out the window and spot the full moon outside. It’s so beautiful, she thought to herself in surprise.
This was something she never got to see, whether back in her home or while overseas, but here, she could enjoy all the beautiful things around her in peace.

Angela slept very soundly that night, but she jolted awake some hours later when she heard a piercing sound of a whistle coming from outside all of a sudden. She
shot up in bed at once. It was at the start of dawn with the barest glimmer of light, but the field beyond the window was abuzz with activity.
She knew that this place was run like a military base. When she opened the door and looked out the entrance, the thick fog blocked everyone from sight, but she knew there were people gathered in the field.
Soon, she heard the sound of people running, and it quickly faded off into the distance. She blinked and basked in the atmosphere around her. The mountains were alive even at dawn while birds filled the air with their chatter, and it made her
one with nature.
A shadowy silhouette then zoomed past her before turning back. The person asked, “Miss Meyers, would you like to go running too?”
It was Trevor who asked. He woke up late and missed out on joining the rest of the troops, so he decided to run alone.
Angela was wide awake by now, and Trevor’s words piqued her interest. Thinking about all the running she did abroad, she figured she should be able to handle a morning run, so she nodded. “Sure. I’ll come with you.”

Trevor was thrilled. The run would be a lot more enjoyable if he had a pretty woman running with him.
.
They ran by the side of the road beneath the canopy of trees. It was an ordinary dirt lane that weaved through the mountains and not the usual roads made of asphalt or concrete, so it was a different kind of experience altogether.
Angela was pretty pumped by the run. Taking deep breaths of the fresh mountain air made her feel like her lungs had been thoroughly cleansed.
She did not know how far she had run, but sure enough, she reached a point where she could no longer keep up. Between her panting, she asked, “Trevor, how much farther are we going?”
“We’re not even a third of the way yet!” Trevor replied.
“Seriously?” Angela’s expression fell. She stared out into the fog in front of them, but she could not see more than a dozen feet in front of her. The rest was all a blur of white.
