Chapter 599:
Richard’s subordinate was worried that their secret would be exposed, but Richard couldn’t care less.
A soft laugh escaped his lips, and he said in a measured tone, “If those punks were to suddenly disappear today, it would definitely appear suspicious. It’s smarter to let them believe they’ve been spared. In a few days, when they truly relax, we’ll find a chance to deal with them p>
The subordinate’s eyes flashed with admiration, and he bowed his head in acknowledgment.
“Got it p>
“By the way,” Richard abruptly added, “the punk who has a chipped tooth touched Jenessa’s hand and broke her phone. Don’t make it an easy death p>
There was a dark, icy undercurrent to his voice, sending a shiver skittering down his subordinate’s spine. The subordinate was once again reminded of Richard’s cruel methods and his terrifying possessiveness toward Jenessa.
“Yes, sir.” The subordinate nodded.
As Jenessa descended the stairs the next morning, she spotted Richard’s car a little distance away.
Richard was waiting for her by the car. When his eyes fell on her, he greeted her with, “Good morning, Jenessa p>
Jenessa gave a small smile and was about to say something when she noticed Richard’s brows furrow suddenly.
“What’s wrong?” she asked, confused.
Richard approached Jenessa, took off his coat, and draped it around her shoulders confidently.
“The weather is chilly today, and you’re not dressed warmly enough. Wear my coat p>
As Richard’s presence and warmth surrounded Jenessa, she automatically felt uncomfortable. Her first instinct was to refuse his offer, but he placed his hands firmly on her shoulders.
She regarded him with surprise.
“Do you still have to resist me so much?” Richard’s brows were knitted, hurt flashing through his eyes.

Jenessa tensed, then recalled her promise to Richard yesterday to try dating him.
There was no way she could backtrack on her words.
With these thoughts on her mind, she pursed her lips, stopped trying to push him away, and whispered, “I’m sorry p>
Richard’s lips curved into a gentle smile, and he lifted his hand to brush away a strand of hair that hovered over Jenessa’s cheek.
“I’ve already told you, you don’t need to apologize to me p>
With that, he took her hand and announced, “Let’s go. Get in the car p>
Richard solicitously helped Jenessa into the car, fastened her seatbelt, and shut the door.
After getting into the seat, Richard handed her the breakfast he had gotten.
“I brought you a sandwich and milk. The milk doesn’t have a strong smell, making it quite suitable for pregnant women. I’ve heated it for you, so drink it while it’s warm p>
Jenessa smiled as she accepted the food, and was about to thank Richard when she noticed the twinkle in his eyes.
She bit back her words and said, “Okay, then I’ll enjoy it.” Jenessa ate her breakfast leisurely as they drove to the studio.
When they were almost there, Richard reminded her in a concerned voice, “You’ve just recovered. Don’t work too hard. Delegate the work to others whenever possible, and make sure to take breaks p>
Jenessa nodded and replied, “I will p>
Once the car was parked, Jenessa unfastened her seatbelt, preparing to bid Richard goodbye.
But at that moment, Richard grabbed her hand and leaned in.
Jenessa was disconcerted and reflexively shrank away from his touch.
Richard’s sharp eyes didn’t miss this, and he stopped moving for a moment. Then, he lifted his hand and brushed away the food crumbs from the corner of her mouth with his finger.
Jenessa froze for a moment before quickly taking out a tissue to wipe her mouth.
“I forgot p>
