Her Precious Baby
Chapter 65

Chapter 65

Turning around, Angeline was about to leave when she felt a pair of chubby hands hugging her thigh.Shortly after, a little girl’s giggles could be heard from behind.

“Angel, you couldn’t replace me just now, right?”

Angeline gazed in the direction of the child’s voice. Wearing a pink dress and sporting two pigtails,Floretta looked awfully cute.

“What brings you here, Floretta?” Angeline asked delightfully as she squatted down to talk to Floretta ateye level. “Have you been discharged?”

“The nurse said I can be discharged, but I still have to take my medications on time.”

Floretta blinked her dark, large eyes as she continued in her melodious voice, “Angel, I asked Daddy tobring me here to see you because I heard you finish filming today.”

Angeline’s heart skipped a beat. “Your Daddy is here?”

Pointing at a car nearby, Floretta replied obediently, “Yes, he’s right there.”

They watched as the car door opened, and a pair of shiny leather shoes landed on the ground. Then,Evander emerged from the car in a black suit.

Although he was wearing a pair of sunglasses that shielded half of his face, his exquisite jawline wasexposed.

As he steadily walked in Angeline’s direction, she stared at him in a daze.

She sighed, lamenting that although he was cold, his looks were enough to send girls fangirling overhim.

“Angel, you have been staring at my daddy for a while now,” Floretta whispered in Angeline’s ear as areminder.

Instantly, Angeline was brought back to reality. As she coughed awkwardly, her rosy cheeks turned adeep shade of red.

“I wasn’t staring at him. I was looking at his… cufflinks!” Chuckling nervously, she continued, “They looknice. Where did you buy them?”

Fearing that she might give away her thoughts, Angeline did not dare to look up and make eye contactwith Evander. Instead, she fixated her gaze on his cufflinks.

“You like these?”

Somewhat amused, Evander observed Angeline’s expression but chose not to expose her. Smirking,he asked, “Do you need Sylas to send you the link to get these cufflinks?”

“Well… There’s no need to,” Angeline replied with her head hung low. She looked somewhat amusingwhile trying to conceal her embarrassment.

Standing beside them was Floretta, who covered her face with her hands as she chuckled secretly.

If this goes well, Angel will be my mom soon enough. Looks like they still need a little push from me.

With that thought, she hugged Angeline’s thighs as she asked, “Angel, Daddy and I haven’t eaten yet.The last time you cooked for us, Daddy praised your culinary skills. Can we eat at your place again?”

“Floretta!” Evander scowled, looking displeased.

When have I ever praised Angeline in front of Floretta?

Floretta stuck out her tongue at Evander triumphantly. Then, turning to Angeline, she pleaded, “Canwe, Angel?”

As her heart softened from Floretta’s cuteness, Angeline couldn’t help caressing her head gently.

Right then, Nancy and the driver pulled over beside them. Nancy was surprised to see Evander.“You’re here too, Mr. Golding?”

“Yes,” Evander replied. “Are you guys going somewhere?”

“The film crew is having a celebration dinner later. I’m here to fetch Angeline.”

Evander’s face clouded over. Pulling Floretta aside, he raised his voice deliberately, saying, “You heardit. She’s going to the celebration dinner later. Let’s go home.”

“I don’t want to go home!”

Floretta pried Evander’s hand off angrily and dashed toward Angeline’s minivan. After climbing into theminivan, she sobbed out, “I’ll go wherever Angel goes.”

“Don’t you throw a tantrum, Floretta! I’ll give you three seconds to get out of the car!” Evander warnedsternly. He looked scary when he was angry.

How did I end up with such a useless daughter? We can’t ask anyone aside from the Golding family forfavors!

Feeling aggrieved, Floretta stuck her butt out unwillingly.

She was about to get out of the car when Angeline stepped in and carried Floretta because the lattercouldn’t stand it.

As she caressed Floretta’s head, she said to Evander, “Mr. Golding, you should be more patient wheneducating a child. Floretta is an obedient kid. You’re being too fierce to her,” Angeline said. “Isn’t it justa meal? I’ll prepare dinner for her.”

“Really?” Floretta’s eyes sparkled with excitement upon hearing Angeline’s words.

“Yes, I’ll take you to the supermarket later,” Angeline replied with a smile. Glancing at Evander, shepondered for a while before asking, “Mr. Golding, would you like to join us?”

“Okay. Get into my car,” Evander replied indifferently.

“What? Oh… All right. Please give me five minutes to change.” Angeline stared at Evander with a weirdlook because she only invited him out of courtesy.

Why would someone of his status visit my house willingly?

His actions had been getting more unprecedented recently.

Nancy was overjoyed when she heard that Evander was going to Angeline’s place for dinner. Readingthe situation, she immediately disappeared with the driver before texting Angeline to give her advice.

She texted: Not bad, Angeline. Once you conquer Mr. Golding and sign a contract under GoldingGroup, you won’t have to worry about getting endorsements anymore.

Appalled, Angeline typed furiously: What are you talking about? I’m just taking care of his daughter.

Nancy texted back: You’ll get closer to him the more you take care of his daughter. Good luck to you. Ihope everything progresses faster. Given Mr. Golding’s build, he must have been working out a lot. Ibet he’s good in bed too…

Angeline’s face reddened when she saw the message.

She felt uncomfortable sitting in the backseat of Evander’s car. The longer she stared at Evander, whowas focused on driving, the more she thought about what Nancy had said to her.

Given Mr. Golding’s build, he must have been working out a lot. I bet he’s good in bed too…

“Can we go to this supermarket?” Evander’s cold voice suddenly rang in the car, bringing Angelineback to reality.

Startled, she stared blankly at Evander’s reflection in the rearview mirror, what he was thinkingapparent on his delicate face.

After a long silence, Angeline replied awkwardly, “Yes, this is fine. I’ll have to trouble you to park the carnearby.”

Evander held onto the steering wheel tightly as he reversed the car into a parking space that he hadjust found.

After getting out of the car first, he walked around the vehicle and carried Floretta out. Meanwhile,Angeline was still troubled by Nancy’s message.

D*mn it! Having been in the entertainment industry for so many years, Angeline had seen all sorts ofhot guys. Why am I swooning over him now?

Worse still, she was thinking about how good he would be in bed.

When she got out of the car, she failed to notice the steps below her.

She almost fell onto the ground when a large hand grabbed her by her slender waist and pulled her intohis arms.

Angeline raised her head in shock. As she stared at Evander’s handsome face, which was magnifiedby their proximity, she started speaking incoherently.

“Oh… T-Thank you.”

“What are you thinking about?”
