Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 954

Richard ran along the winding path toward the top of the mountain, and when he arrived and saw the slim figure sitting in the cold, his breathing staggered. Almost immediately, he pulled off his coat and approached her while holding it.

Angela, whose senses had been dulled by faintness, emotional distress, and also the howling wind around them, could not sense him behind her until the warm coat wrapped around her shoulders.

Only then did she turn around in surprise as her swollen eyes made contact with his worried ones. His heart squeezed forcefully at the sight, and he carried her from the rocks aggressively.

“Richard, let me go.” She struggled violently against his hold, trying to push him away.

He was afraid that she might hurt herself like this, so he had no choice but to put her down on the edge of a nearby rock. While he stood looking down at her, she looked back at him from her position.

“What happened to you?” he asked in a low tone, looking at her with his dark eyes.

Angela took a deep breath. She choked somewhat as she said, “Richard, let me ask you this-is your fiancée my cousin, Annie?”

How did she know? Richard thought as his heart throbbed again, his pupils dilating.

Squinting his eyes, he asked rhetorically,

“Who told you that?”

“I’m the one asking questions. How long are you going to hide it from me? Why didn’t you tell me sooner that Annie is the one whom you are engaged with? If you had told me sooner, we wouldn’t have made this mistake… I wouldn’t have…” Angela’s voice was hoarse as she cried while tears streamed down her face.

However, before she could finish her sentence, Richard pulled her into his embrace and pressed her head against his chest.

Sobbing in his arms, Angela raised her fists and hit him on the chest helplessly.
