Her Precious Baby

Chapter 40

Like any other child, Floretta did not have a patient personality. The girl’s attention gradually drifted to the play area after she waited for the food for a short while. “Daddy, can I go over there to play?”

Seeing that the playing area was well within his line of vision, Evander felt more assured. “Go ahead.”

“Thank you, Daddy!” Excitement filled Floretta’s gaze, and she eagerly got off the chair and darted toward the ocean ball pool.

As Angeline watched the chirpy girl’s retreating figure, she could not help but lift the corners of her lips into a faint smile. “Floretta is at the age where she’s the most playful and active. You can’t always let her stay at home.”

As soon as those words fell, Evander turned grim and cast her a displeased look.

“I’m sorry. It’s just a casual remark of mine. Don’t take it to heart,” Angeline hastily explained, as she was made nervous by the man’s intense stares.

“Floretta is a special case. I hope you won’t poke your nose in our family matters, Ms. Sorelle.” Evander shot her an icy look.

She flashed an okay sign with her fingers and kept her mouth shut.

Evander leaned back in his chair, appearing lost in his thoughts while gazing at that cheerful girl in the play area a distance away.

Angeline’s words had somehow reminded him that Floretta’s identity had always been a secret to the public. That had inadvertently limited the girl’s freedom.

It’s been a long time since I’ve last seen Floretta smiling so brightly. Besides, she’s no longer that young. I can’t possibly hide her at home forever, can I? It seems that it’s about time I should reveal her identity. But making things public means there must be a wedding ceremony first to let the world know who Mrs. Golding is.

Soon after, a waiter served their order, filling their table with an array of food. It was a delicious sight to behold.

Sliding down from the slide, Floretta followed the delicious smell of food and hurried her way through the pool of ocean balls.

She reached out to grab a meatball from the plate, only to get intercepted by Angeline. She held onto the girl’s wrist and gently reminded her, “Floretta, you need to wash your hands before you eat.”

Frustration surged within Floretta as she said grumpily, “I always have Franny to help me at home.”
