My mystery lover

Chapter 214 Go Hiking

That plate of meat seemed delicious. Amy couldn't help but eat it. The meat was soft and tender, which

was finger-licking good, especially with spice on it.

"It tastes really good," Amy said sincerely. However, it was more than a compliment. She intended to let

down Richard's guard.

"I'll go get some vegetables for you. They are tasty too. However, Allen cannot take the spicy food as

you do. I'll cook separately." Richard was running around, but he found it meaningful.

He didn't care who Allen's father was. He loved Allen.

"Allen, can your father cook?" Richard whispered to Allen.

"My Dad? I don't know. Chefs cook for us." That sounded reasonable. How could Allen know whether

his father could cook if Allen had never seen him?

But Richard misunderstood Allen. From Richard's point of view, what Allen meant was that they didn't

need to cook.

"So, what do you think of my cooking?" Richard asked.

"I like it! It would be great if I could enjoy your cooking every day." Allen's corner of the mouth was filled

with grease.

Richard felt high-spirited with Amy and Allen's praises.

At the end of the dancing performance, dancers walked down and invited everyone to dance together.

Everyone danced around the campfire hand in hand. Richard danced too, with Allen on the left and

Amy on the right.

Holding their hands made him sweat. He was afraid that Amy would let go of his hand.

But Amy didn't. Her attention was on dancers. She imitated the dancer's movement and danced well.

They planned to go hiking the next morning, so they were ready to leave when they were done eating. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Allen fell asleep. Richard carried him on his back and slowly walked towards the villa.

Amy followed behind him. She had no idea where Hilary and Hannah had gone. Richard and Amy were

like a couple, which made Amy feel awkward.

"Mr. Carter, I can take Allen back by myself. I've got used to it." Amy said.

"Miss Newell, I'm your assistant and this is my job. Don't worry. I'll take Allen back and then leave."

Richard had kept mentioning his title as her assistant.

It was a logical explanation, but she felt something was wrong.

Richard put Allen on the bed. After taking off Allen's clothes and shoes as well as tucking him in,

Richard left.

Although Richard was clumsy, Amy felt touching.

'What are you thinking? He is so nice to me just for something. Stop thinking of him!' Amy shook her

head. She needed to put him out of her mind.

Allen was so sleepy the next morning that he snoozed when getting dressed and having breakfast. To

keep Richard's job, Allen kept learning swimming, which had exhausted him.

"Amy, let's take turns. Allen will wake up soon." Hannah suggested. It would be tiring to carry Allen on

her back. Amy would be worn out.

"Thanks, but I'm fine. But if I get tired, please do me a favor." Amy refused at first, but she didn't want to

turn down the kindness.

Amy got sensitive skin and was particularly 'attractive' to mosquitoes, so she deliberately wore long

trousers and sportswear. She also applied mosquito repellant to Allen. After that, she carried Allen on

her back and set off.

Not surprisingly, Richard and Kevin had been waiting for them.

Early in the morning, there was a mist at the foot of the hill, but it wasn't cold. Amy surprisingly noticed

that Richard was holding a thin blanket in his hand.

"I knew Allen was going to sleep. Let me carry him. Allen would need to be wrapped up warm.

Otherwise, he might get sick." Richard held up the blanket and said.

Richard thought a lot. He was moved by Allen yesterday. Allen kept learning to swim, so Richard

wouldn't lose his job. That was why Allen learned it so fast.

Last night, though Allen was sleepy, he insisted on finishing the meat Richard cooked for him.

Richard felt that Allen was as kindhearted as his mother.

"No need, I can do this." Before Amy could finish her words, Allen had been carried over by Richard.

Amy thought the sudden movement would wake Allen up, but it didn't. Allen snuggled into Richard's

embrace and looked even more comfortable.

"Thank you," Amy said to Richard.

Without Allen on her back, Amy felt much better. She took her baggage from Hannah and sped up her

pace.

When they reached the mountainside, the sun came out, with its golden light splashed onto the trees,

grass, and wildflowers, everything looked vibrant.

"Let's take a rest before we set off for the peak," Kevin suggested. Even though they needed to take a

roundabout route, it was easier to walk on.

The road ahead was steeper, but it took less time.

"Good idea! We can eat something to recharge." Hannah and Hilary agreed.

Kevin laid the tablecloth on the ground and took out the food he had prepared.

Amy brought food too, including the dishes she cooked yesterday.

There was a lot of food. They didn't eat too much at breakfast. After climbing for more than an hour,

everyone felt a little hungry.

"Food! I can't reach the peak if I don't eat something." Hilary was extremely excited as she saw the

food.

Everyone enjoyed their food. Richard cradled Allen in his arms. It seemed that Allen was extremely

tired.

"What are you guys eating? Can I have some?" The noise woke Allen up, who was supposed to sleep

tightly.
