Her Precious Baby

Chapter 235

Angeline carefully kept the hair clip before preparing breakfast for the two children. Luckily, she had prepared Evander's portion beforehand. Otherwise, breakfast would not have been enough.

Floretta was still recovering, so she fell asleep after eating the medication.

Sebastian was quiet and did not disturb her. He stood at Floretta's bedside and stared at her, unmoving.

If Angeline had not brought him out of the medical ward in time, she would have thought he would stay by Floretta's side the whole time.

Evander hurriedly followed behind them, wanting to send them home. However. Angeline was worried about him and stopped him.

"Don't bother sending us home. You must've been busy the whole night and couldn't get a wink of sleep. It's not good for you to drive right now. You should go back and get some rest. Sebastian and I will be fine.”

“Okay,” Evander answered softly.

The dark circles under his eyes were heavy, and he was truly exhausted at that moment.

Angeline was silent for a while as she pondered over it. However, she could not stop herself from asking, “Oh, right. Yesterday, you didn't even say anything before leaving. Where did you go?”

“I went to the school.”

Evander did not try to hide it from her.

“For an investigation?”

“Yeah.”

His expression darkened, and a hint of coldness flashed through his eyes. His tone could send drills down someone's spine as he said, “I've already checked through all the surveillance cameras. Mark was the one who pushed Floretta down the stairs.”

Upon hearing that. Angeline could not help but frown. Now that I think of it, Mark is the grandson of the Sherrock family!

In addition, she remembered that this was not the first time Mark had bullied Floretta. During the parent-teacher conference, she had seen him provoke Floretta.

However. Angeline did not expect him to do such an awful thing to Floretta.

“What are you going to do?”

Angeline glanced at Evander's cold expression and raised her eyebrow as her heart seemed to sink along with his expression.

“I've already recorded the video and will pass it to the police.” Evander's voice was low and left no room for negotiation. “I'll make sure Mark apologizes to Floretta personally.”

Upon hearing that. Angeline pursed her lips as her eyes darkened. Yet, she did not voice any opinions.

This seems to be the best solution. This is the last bit of mercy that Evander will show for the Sherrock family.

Evander accompanied Angeline and Sebastian to the entrance of the hospital. Many people and cars were coming and going. There was also a group of people rushing toward the hospital.

At that, Angeline subconsciously took out a mask from her bag and panicked as she covered her face.

Since she became a celebrity, her freedom was limited as her whereabouts were often exposed. She had to bring a mask wherever she went for protection as she felt unsafe.

At that moment, Evander suddenly turned and stood before her as he brought her into liis embrace.

Angeline leaned close to his chest. She could hear the loud thumping of his heart. Thump, thump, thump. It was a steady rhythm.

“Relax.” Evander's deep voice echoed in her ear as he comforted her.

Angeline's face instantly turned red as her fingers tugged on the comers of Evander's shirt. She subconsciously leaned her head against him.

In an instant, time seemed to have stopped. Angeline's heart skipped a beat at the sense of security she felt from him.

“Mmm...”

Their posture was too intimate to the point that they were ignoring others. Sebastian frowned and tugged Angeline's hand.

At that, Angeline pulled away from her thoughts. She held out a hand and pushed Evander's chest as she stuttered, “T-That's enough. There's no one now.”

“Okay,” Evander answered softly before he opened the car door and signaled for Angeline to get in.

“Get in. Call me when you get home.”

“Okay.”

Angeline helped Sebastian into the car before she sat in the driver's seat. She looked up and felt her heart melt as she looked into Evander's eyes, which were filled with concern.

Just as Evander was about to leave, Angeline hurried to grab his ami and hesitated briefly before she leaned up and kissed liis lips.

“Thank you.”

As soon as she said that, she sat back in her seat and stepped on the accelerator as she drove out of the hospital.

Evander stood rooted to the spot as he stared at Angeline's departing car. unable to return to liis senses for a long moment. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

He could not help but reach up to touch liis lips, feeling the little bit of warmth that was not fading away. His eyes softened as he held onto that lingering feeling.

Before meeting Angeline, he thought love was useless, so he had no interest in getting married.

Yet now, he was eager to grow old with her. Life would not be meaningless if she were willing to be by liis side.

In the car. Angeline looked at Sebastian, who sat in the back seat, through the rearview mirror. She was relieved to see the young boy playing with the toy car in liis hands.

However, since she did not have a good night's sleep, she felt tiredness take over her as she kept yawning.

To relieve the boredom. Angeline reached out to switch on the radio. She was able to shift her focus once the radio host spoke.

“A news report at eight o'clock tliis morning announced that Sorelie Group will be going bankrupt. Workers are waiting at the entrance of the building to collect their debts. Many red banners are surrounding the building too!”

Initially, Angeline was bored while driving. However, just as she heard the news, she immediately stepped on the brake as shock filled her eyes.

All the tiredness she had felt instantly disappeared.

“The incident happened suddenly, and Joseline Sorelle. the newly appointed general manager, could not accept the news. She overdosed on sleeping pills, and until today, we are unsure whether she is still alive.”

Upon hearing that. Angeline's grip on the steering wheel tightened, and a complicated expression appeared on her face.

With her understanding of Joseline. she knew the latter would definitely not do such a thing as ending her life for such a matter.

Tliis is nothing but a show she's putting on for the public!

However. Angeline did not expect that Sorelle Group would go bankrupt less than a week after Wilfred died.

I can't believe Joseline couldn't hold on any longer than that!

Previously, Evander had told her that Sorelle Group was shouldering huge debts and there were more losses than profits. It seemed that Joseline had been unaware of all that.

Ring!

At that moment, the phone she left on the passenger seat rang. She noticed it was an unknown number and thought about it for some time before she answered, putting the person on loudspeaker.

“Hello. May I know who's tliis?”

“Hello, Ms. Sorelle. I was the attorney representing Old Mr. Sorelle before he passed. I remember we met during liis funeral.”

“Yes, I remember. How can I help you?”

Angeline sounded surprised. Logically speaking. Wilfred's will would have been carried out accordingly. Why is liis attorney looking for me now?

“Ms. Sorelle, let's meet if you're free today.”

The attorney's attitude was respectfill as he explained again, “Old Mr. Sorelle prepared you some gifts before he passed and specifically asked me to give them to you.”
