Richard just wanted to test her reaction at first. Seeing how she turned her face away in disgust, he straightened up and pointed at the bed, saying. “You sleep on the bed. I'll sleep in the car.” Angela was dumbstruck for a few seconds. At once, she was ashamed of how she had treated him just now. She bit her lip, saying, “It's freezing in the car.
Why don’t you stay in the room instead?” It was a winter night, where the temperature could go as low as six degrees Celsius.

Biting her red lip, Angela replied, “You can stay here as long as you don’t get overfamiliar with me.” “You can trust me, Richard promised in a deep voice.
Angela also trusted his character, which was why she told him to stay. And besides, the situation right now was too difficult for him.
Even though she felt guilty toward Annie, she couldn't chase the man out of the room and let him freeze in the car all night.
Seeing the remote control for the air conditioner, she couldn't help but press the buttons on the remote control several times, only to find that the air conditioner didn’t respond no matter how she pressed the buttons. ‘Don’t tellit’s broken.” She let out a groan of vexation while standing under the air conditioner.
“It is broken,” Richard said to her positively with his arms folded.
“How are we gonna spend the night when it's so cold? I'm not bundled up or something. Angela groaned. At this moment, her hands and feet were as cold as ice, so much so that she had to rub her hands together to warm herself up a little. There's no air conditioner right now?

On the other hand, he still had a military greatcoat in the car. He stood up. pushed the door open, and went out.
Angela watched the door close. Not knowing where the man was going, she could only sit on the bed while gloomily pondering what to do next. She wondered when the mudslide would be cleared, though she hoped it'd be cleared as soon as possible since she didn’t want to stay with him for such a long time.

Just then, she heard the sound of the door being pushed from the outside.
Richard cin with a heavy military greatcoat hung over his wrist. Without saying a word, he draped the greatcoat around her shoulders as she sat on the bed.
Dumbfounded, Angela stared at him. So he went out to get the greatcoat for me? “Thank you,” she said. She did need the greatcoat, though it had his smell on it. This greatcoat is probably his, she thought.
It was getting dark, but the rain was still pouring down with no signs of stopping. Suddenly, Angela's stomach let out a growl in the quiet room, causing her to clap her hand over her stomach in embarrassment. She was hungry, but she could only eat liquid food after having just had a high fever. Because of that, she hadn’t eaten much since this morning.
“Lettake you somewhere to get something to eat,” Richard said to her.
Angela blinked her eyes. “Is there a place to eat around here?” Richard had eaten at a farmhouse restaurant over the past few days, and the food there tasted pretty good. He nodded. “Cwith me.”
