My Baby’s Daddy

Chapter 874
If a camera started recording this scene, it would surely make for a romantic love story!
After enjoying a mouthful herself, Angela thought about Richard. He carried her on his back, plucked white olives for her, and was even obliging enough to wash them for her. It would be far too selfish of her if she did not offer him one of the white
olives.
“Do you want one?” Angela tilted her head to the side and asked.
“No…” Richard was about to reject her offer when he found a white olive stuffed into his mouth.
“Have one. Don’t be shy. It tastes great!” Angela chuckled right beside his ear.
Her clear, melodious voice echoed in Richard’s ears. It sounded so mesmerizing that his mind went blank for a few seconds. He forgot all about his initial rejection and began chewing instead.
He’s eating it!
Angela felt a peculiar sense of achievement, like she attained some kind of victory by breaking down Richard’s cold and aloof exterior.

She also had a roguish sense of amusement as she made up her mind to tease him whenever she felt bored in this place. It seemed like something fun that would keep her in a good mood.
Richard piggybacked Angela back to the base’s main entrance. When Angela noticed the suggestive gazes that everyone else was throwing at them, she began to feel a little embarrassed, but Richard continued to carry her all the way to the infirmary.
The doctor checked Angela’s foot and concluded that she had twisted her ankle and sprained her muscles. She would need to rest for a few days and stay lying down whenever she could
Angela had no choice but to follow the doctor’s orders. It could not be helped.
After applying medication to Angela’s ankle, the doctor said, “Please wait here for a moment while I find a wheelchair to take you back to your room.”
“Oh, don’t trouble yourself with that.” Angela waved him down and turned her eyes toward the man who was currently standing on the side flipping through a medical book. “Captain Lloyd, could you carry me back to my room?”
The doctor agreed with a smile. “That’s a good idea. It’d save me a trip to the warehouse. It would’ve taken me quite a while to find a wheelchair there too.”
Richard snapped the book shut and placed it back on the shelf. His handsome face was neutral; there were no signs of annoyance or reluctance. After bending down, his strong, muscular arms reached under Angela’s knees and arms and he hoisted her up like she weighed nothing. Just like that, she was safely tucked into his arms.
Angela instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck. Right at that moment, she could sense that this man was a hundred percent boyfriend material.
For some reason, whenever she stood beside him, she felt like she had the courage
to stand against the world.
Angela was in the right position to observe his features up close, and from her viewing angle, his sharp, chiseled jaw looked particularly attractive.
She felt very secure in his arms too, with no shaking or wobbling at all. It was quite a comfortable ride.
It’s so boring to just lie in bed all day, she thought to herself, so she decided to make a request. “Captain Lloyd, could I borrow your couch for a while? I want to lie in your room and read a book or two instead. My room’s too small. I’d feel claustrophobic.”
Richard frowned and said, “No.”
“Why not? I promise that I’ll just lie on the couch and read a book. I won’t touch anything else. I promise!” Angela raised her hand in all seriousness and beseeched him with pleading eyes.
