Her Precious Baby

However, it was unusually quiet in the house that day. Neither of them was anywhere to be found.

Angeline grew concerned when she noticed their absence. With a worried look in her eyes, she asked Evander, “Where’s Francesca and Floretta? Why haven’t they returned?”

“Relax. Let me explain,” Evander replied calmly. “I told Francesca to bring Floretta to the other mansion. It’s just nearby. In the meantime, you can stay here and focus on recuperating.”

“Okay.” Relieved, Angeline went to the doorway and stared at the mansion across from theirs. The usually dark mansion was lit that day, confirming Evander’s statement to be true.

He’s so wealthy, so it’s not a surprise that he owns more than one mansion. Moreover, I’m currently experiencing an allergic reaction. Adults have better immunity, but it’s not the same case with children. I understand the need to distance myself from Floretta.

Since Francesca had her hands full with Floretta, the task of taking care of Evander’s daily life naturally fell on Angeline’s shoulders.

That night, Angeline whipped up a simple beef stew that garnered an endless stream of praises from Roger. His compliments rendered Evander’s expression thunderous.

Fortunately, Roger, being a tactful person, left the Golding residence immediately after dinner. Before his departure, he gave them a meaningful lecture. “As your good friend, it is my duty to remind you that it would be better if you don’t share a room while Mrs. Golding hasn’t recovered—”

Evander shoved Roger out of the doorway before the latter could complete his sentence and slammed the door shut.

Blushing, Angeline gazed at Evander bashfully. Without waiting for him to speak, she muttered, “I’ll go and sleep in the guest room. You should rest early too.”

With that said, she made her way upstairs.

Evander stared at her retreating figure, a resigned look surfacing in his eyes. However, an affectionate smile hung on his lips. He could tell Angeline had feelings for him and was just not used to living with him.

Just as he was about to head to the study, he saw Angeline walking back toward him. She stopped in front of the man and stared at him for a few seconds before standing on tiptoes and planting a soft kiss on his lips.

“Goodnight,” she murmured. Her voice was uncharacteristically gentle and low. It felt as if a feather had gently caressed his heart.
