Her Precious Baby

With a hand in his pocket, Jacob explained flippantly, “The director mentioned that we still need a young kid who isn’t a celebrity, so I nominated Floretta because she’s both smart and pretty!”

“I’ll overlook Floretta’s part because she doesn’t know right from wrong, but how could you mess around like this?”

Given how protective Evander was over Floretta, he must have had no idea that Jacob and Floretta had joined the program. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have allowed Floretta to tag along.

Angeline couldn’t comment on it due to them being filmed by cameras around them.

All the while, the director was ushering them to board the plane. She didn’t feel safe leaving Floretta at the airport alone. Out of options, she could only bring Floretta along.

The cameraman followed Angeline as she dragged her luggage behind while on her way to board the plane. Unused to being filmed while not acting, she couldn’t help but frown.

At that moment, Jacob approached her and took her luggage with a smug grin on his face.

“This must be your first time on a variety show, Angie. Calm down. I’m here for you.”

“Mind your own business,” Angeline reminded him in slight exasperation, still angry at him.

Jacob would be in trouble if Evander knew Jacob had signed Floretta up for the show without his consent.

“I’m not scared of him. Everything will already be decided when he finds out about this.”

Jacob huffed and used all his might to stash all the luggage into the container.

Angeline didn’t bother with a reply. You’re still too young. The folly of youth!

While she regretted what happened, what was done was done, so she could only text their whereabouts to Evander before their flight took off.

He seemed busy somehow, for Angeline didn’t get a reply from him even after waiting for ten or so minutes.

As the plane picked up speed, Angeline’s ears buzzed with the sounds of gears turning. The uncomfortable sensation made her switch off her phone earlier.

With how things were, she could only go with the flow.
