“Wow, it’s beautiful!” Angeline entered the room and patted Floretta’s head dotingly. “You’re a cute girl, Floretta. It will definitely look lovely on you when you carry it.”

Floretta lowered her head and stuck out her tongue bashfully. “Daddy said the same thing. I’ll bring it to school tomorrow, then.”

After a few minutes, Evander was done assembling the toy. He handed it to Floretta and said seriously, “It’s getting late. Follow Francesca and go back to your room to sleep.”

Since Floretta was satisfied as she had obtained a new toy that night, she didn’t throw a fit and left with Francesca obediently.

Angeline was slightly worried. “Francesca can’t bathe Floretta on her own. I should go help her.”

Looking concerned, she was about to follow Francesca and Floretta when the door slammed shut right in front of her face.

Then she was pulled into a warm embrace by the man behind her.

“Aren’t you being too attentive to Floretta? I’m your boyfriend, Angeline!” A magnetic voice sounded right beside her ears as if a mesmerizing hand was pulling on her heartstring.

Angeline remained in her spot and felt a tingling sensation throughout her body. She kept quiet for a moment before chuckling. “You’re already an adult, yet you’re jealous of a little child? Not to mention that she’s your daughter! Shouldn’t you be glad that I’m treating your daughter well?”

“You’re such a sweet-talker,” said Evander.

He kissed her earlobes repeatedly and gradually made his way down to her irresistible swan-like neck.

Angeline’s throat went dry at Evander’s seduction. Just when she was about to give in and surrender herself to him, he let go of her abruptly and took a few steps back.
