Chapter 161: He Can Sing Disney Songs?-1

Angela POV

I stepped out of Christopher's luxury apartment building, Aria nestled securely in

my arms. Despite her small size, she felt heavier than usual-or perhaps it was the weight of my conflicting emotions that made my steps slower.

Sean walked beside me, carrying Ethan with surprising gentleness.

"Because it's late, sweetheart," I answered softly. "Time to go home and get some sleep."
