Her Precious Baby

From behind, a little girl’s clear and crisp voice could be heard. The voice was able to calm down Angeline’s restlessness.

She slowly raised her head and looked at Evander standing in front of her. He glanced at her parents’ tombstone before kneeling to pay his respects.

He pursed his lips. His usually cold eyes had a hint of respect in them.

He then waved a hand toward Floretta and gently held her shoulders as he said in a low voice, “Say hello to Granddad and Granny.”

Floretta cocked her head to one side as she stared at the tombstone. At a young age, she did not quite understand the meaning of life and death. She could only stare at the tombstone and let out a sound of admiration.

“Wow! Granny is so pretty. She looks like Angel. But why is she living in the ground? And why did she make Angel so sad?”

Upon hearing that, Angeline’s eyes drooped to hide the sadness in them.

Evander felt bitter as he watched her. His heart clenched in pain.

“This is Granddad and Granny’s home. They are very happy staying here. In a few decades, Angel and I will live here too.”

It was the first time Floretta had heard of such a thing. Her eyes lit up, and her mouth turned into an “O” shape as she exclaimed in awe, “Is the house inside as big as a castle?”

“Yes. It’s magnificent,” Evander replied. Normally, this kind of little white lie would never come out of a person as stern as him. However, he said it to ensure that Angeline would feel less guilty.

As she thought of all that, Angeline felt warmth spread over her body as she stood up and looked at Evander.

“How did you know that I’m here?”

“I choose not to speak,” Evander replied with zero expressions. It was similar to the way she had answered him the night before.

Angeline pouted, and in her heart, she scolded him for being petty. However, his answer was not that important anymore.

“What are you doing?” Just then, a man’s old but stern voice could be heard.
