Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 874

Though she was itching to find out, she decided against voicing it out loud. He might not even respond to her question anyway.

“I’m injured. Can you help me up? Of course, I won’t object to an offer of a piggyback,” Angela said to Richard.

He glanced at her before squatting down. in front of her. He did not mind giving her a piggyback ride.

Angela’s heart skipped a beat. He’s really going to carry me on his back? After taking at close look at his wide and muscular back, she climbed onto him a little shyly and reached out to wrap her arms around his neck. He swiftly stood up with her clinging to him like a koala.

This had to be the strongest back she had ever ridden on.

“Why did you come looking for me?” Angela asked out of curiosity. Was it because he was worried about her safety?

“There’s something I need to ask you.” Richard was feeling a little awkward with her on his back. This was the first time he ever carried a woman-previously, he only ever carried his military colleagues and subordinates.

She was very light, and her body felt very soft. His senses were heightened as she stuck close to him.

“What did you want to ask me?”

“We’ll talk about it when we get back.”

Angela was feeling a little bored again. Suddenly, she spotted another wild white olive tree with several ripened olives hanging from its branches, so she quickly said, “Richard, there’s a white olive tree over there. Go over and pluck some for me!”

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.
