Chapter 950

Richard knew it was reality, and Angela would know about it sooner or later. She would probably react
as expected, but he wasn’t planning on telling her before that happened.

“In that case, are you protecting me this time, or is it someone else?” Angela looked expectant, but she
didn’t wait for an answer before asking him something. “Can you continue protecting me?”

His phone rang at that moment, and he picked it up to look at the screen. “I have to go to the meeting
room. Stay here and rest.”

She was still in a good mood, so she smiled. “Alright, you should get back to work!”

After he left, she touched her lips. She suddenly wondered if her parents would like Richard when she
introduced him upon her return.

In the meeting room, everyone discussed excitedly how their mission was going to end perfectly. The
lipstick was already placed under protection and sent back to where it should be-with its owner.

“Richard, should we…” Trevor got excited and wanted to suggest celebrating the occasion to the man
sitting at the head of the table. However, when Trevor turned to him, he realized Richard wasn’t
listening to their discussion.

Instead, he was staring into the distance as if lost in thought. Trevor nudged Jared beside him, and the
room became silent at once as the four people present sensed their leader’s mood.

They all knew why their leader was acting that way. Since Angela would return to the Meyers Family as
their eldest daughter while he went on their next mission, they would soon be separated.

After all, she was the daughter of a wealthy family while he was the leader of a group of commandos.
Their romance wouldn’t be like any other couple; not only that, they’d never know when their next
meeting would be.



“Don’t worry, Richard. Even after we complete our mission, you can still be with Miss Meyers,” Trevor
said reassuringly, “Exactly! She will never forget you, Sean chimed in.

Richard retreated from his thoughts to see the concerned gazes of his comrades, and he got up from
his seat. “Continue your work.”

After Richard exited the room, he did not return to his room to see Angela. Instead, he walked in a
random direction and arrived among the flowerbeds.

Ariel was there chatting with Carlton; as soon as she saw Richard, she moved toward him like a
butterfly drawn to the flowerbeds. Even if she had embarrassed herself the last time she was with him,
it didn’t stop her from wanting to be closer to the man.

She followed him to the flowerbeds and admired him from behind the trees as he walked away. Since
he looked preoccupied with his thoughts, he did not notice her following him.

Just when she thought of going forward to greet him, he pulled out his phone to make a call. She tried
to remain patient so as not to interrupt him but did not leave, and soon, she could hear him addressing
the person on the other end of the line. “Grandpa.”

He’s making a call to his grandpa! Ariel couldn’t help eavesdropping, yet Richard still hadn’t noticed
her. On the other end, Richard’s grandpa was enquiring about the progress of his mission.

“We found the lipstick, and the mission will be ending soon.”

“That’s good. You should return so that your wedding with Annie may proceed. We can’t make the
Meyers Family wait too long, you know.”

“Grandpa, I want to cancel the engagement.” Richard went straight to the point.



“Richard, this is not what we do as a member of the Lloyd Family. Since you are already engaged, you
should fulfill your promise and marry her. You need to be responsible and give her family closure.”

“Grandpa, I don’t like her, and it would be irresponsible if I see through the marriage,” he argued.
