Her Precious Baby

Chapter 132

“Hello, miss. I got your number from the police. I’m Delroy’s son, and I’d like to meet up with you in person.”

As Angeline listened to the juvenile voice over the phone, her eyes were brimming with emotions.

Oh, angels took pity on me! I’m glad that my efforts to wait in the county haven’t gone to waste.

“Sure. Tell me where we should meet.”

Angeline intentionally kept her tone on a tight leash to sound as calm as she could be.

Moments after she hung up the phone, Delroy’s son texted her the address of their rendezvous—a small cafe around the neighborhood.

Angeline quickly changed into a fresh set of clothes before making a beeline for the garage downstairs.

Never in a million years would she expect to bump into Sylas in the living room. The latter was wielding a spoon, delightfully enjoying a piece of cake at his leisure.

“Ms. Sorelle, why did you come down?”

He licked the mousse at the corner of his lips when he caught sight of Angeline.

Flabbergasted, Angeline gaped at the man in shock. Concurrently, she scrutinized the surroundings but found no trace of Evander’s presence. Puzzlement inundated her. “Don’t you have to follow him back to Hallsbay, too?” she probed.

“Mr. Golding has asked me to stay behind and ensure your safety. Are you going somewhere? I’ll drive you there.”

Sylas’ words sent a warm feeling through Angeline’s heart. I would’ve never anticipated Evander to order his right-hand man to stay by my side. It seems like he very much approved of my mission this time around.

“No, it’s fine. I’m simply meeting up with a friend. You should stay here and rest,” was Angeline’s comment.

As persistent as Sylas had always been, he laid down the cake in his hands before treading on the woman’s heels.

“Mr. Golding has specifically instructed me to keep an eye on you at all times. If I let you step out alone, I’ll have to answer to him. I’ll just observe from afar, and I promise not to intrude.”

“Uh… All right.”

Angeline could only comply with his wish. At first, she had hoped for the negotiation to remain private, and the fewer people in the know of it, the better. Be that as it might, since Evander meant well, she did not
