My Baby’s Daddy Chapter 1185
Angela’s lips were pressed firmly against his as she murmured, “Not at all.” She did not leave any room for negotiation. With a grin on Richard’s lips, he said in a deep and alluring drawl, “Better think about this carefully, Mrs. Lloyd, because you won’t be getting much sleep tonight.”
She swallowed convulsively and felt her stomach tighten in anticipation. “Take it easy tonight, big guy. Mom called me today and said we’d stop by my granddad’s place tomorrow. I don’t want to show up with love bites all over my neck.”
He laughed when he heard this. “Very well, then. I’ll just have to leave the marks somewhere no one can see it.”
She buried her face into his chest and was flustered. She said shyly, “Do whatever you want with me, Captain Lloyd.” The city was filled with Christmas cheer the following morning.
It was 9.00AM, Angela and Richard were fully dressed, and he looked particularly dashing with her assistance. While he could probably walk the runway in a trash bag, she was a very particular dresser. She had to ensure her man looked as good as she did whenever they left the house.
Meanwhile, Richard was content to let his wife pick out his clothes. He also liked that he could sneak a few kisses here and there while she straightened his shirt collar.
“Hey, you got more than enough action last night,” Angela grumbled. She cursed herself for unleashing the beast within him the night before. It was as though she had forgotten that he could be a rogue in the heat of the moment.
Richard glanced at her and said, “Your lips look a bit dry.”
“Really? Maybe I should-” She was about to say, “apply some lip balm,” but she was cut off when Richard abruptly pushed her up against the wardrobe and kissed her.
“Hmph!” Her protest was muffled, but he did not stop until he had wholly moistened her lips. They did not leave the house until ten minutes later.
Meanwhile, Scarlet and Walter arrived at the Singeds’ place to depart to the Husson Residence together.
Scarlet sat on the couch, but when she saw Ruka wearing the jacket she had bought her, she stood up and happily straightened the lapels. Then, she took the girl by the shoulders and appraised her affectionately, proud to see how much she had grown.
“Oh my, will you look at how much she’s blossomed since we saw her last? I wonder which young man will have the honor of marrying her,” Scarlet mused playfully.
Claire and Robert nodded in agreement as they remarked that Ruka possessed the best genes in the family.
No one noticed that Ruka was already flushed with nervousness. She pursed her lips and avoided their gaze, fearing that they would discover the secret that was consuming her.
“I tried to set her up with this nice young man the other day, but she ruined the date!” Claire clucked.
“That’s alright. Ruka still has plenty of time to go on dates,” Scarlet said this while furtively planning to make Ruka an even better match soon.
“Oh, well. We should leave if we want to make it to lunch.”
“By the way, Ruka, you’ll finally get to meet Richard and his wife. It’s been a while, hasn’t it?” Scarlet said cheerily. Both families then proceeded to the Husson Residence.
Charlotte was in an excellent mood as she enjoyed the festivities at the Husson Residence. She and Harold were great fans of merry crowds in their old age.
