Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 941

With his assurance, she carefully placed the hatchling on his palm; she saw him hold the bird and walk toward the tree pole. Seeing that he was about to climb the tree, she hurriedly said, “Be careful.”

She had to admit that his tree climbing skill was quite good; in a blink of an eye. he had already put the bird back to its nest, and from that position, he jumped to the ground.

Angela was dumbfounded. Is he a monkey?

“Let’s go back!” Richard glanced at her and walked along the path that would lead them back home. It was only then did she realize the reason he was angry just now; he was worried about her safety and took his anger out on the hatchling; instead, she blamed him for being cruel.

“I’m sorry about what happened just now,” she apologized and hung her head in shame. As he heard that, he halted his steps and turned around, causing her to bump into him.

Just as she was about to take a step back, his arm wrapped around her waist domineeringly. She raised her head, and her eyes met the gaze of another pair of eyes that were as deep as night. She could almost see the glittering light at the bottom of his eyes.

“Promise me that you won’t risk your life so easily next time,” he commanded in a deep voice, serious and firm.

It was the first time Angela had received such a demand that it imprinted onto her soul. She nodded and said, “I promise.”

“Your life is very important,” said Richard, emphasizing once again.

It felt like he was confessing to her. As she bit her lips, the woman looked down and asked, “Is my life that important to you?”

His voice reverberated above her as he said with conviction, “Yes.”
