Her Precious Baby

He looked exactly like a model with perfect eight-pack abs and muscular biceps.

“Why are you sitting here? What are you waiting for?”

Evander was drying his hair with a towel. A drop of water rolled from his cheek to his collarbone.

The scene in front of Angeline made her gulp, and she looked away.

“Nothing. You go ahead and sleep first. I will take my bath.”

With that, she picked up the extra blanket and pillow from the bed and laid them out neatly on the couch.

Even though it might rain that night and it would be cold to sleep on the couch, it was still better than sharing the

same bed with Evander.

After making her bed, Angeline walked into the bathroom. She deliberately soaked in the bathtub longer than usual

before getting dressed.

She went out of the bathroom nervously and glanced at the bed, but there was no one!

What’s going on?

Angeline frowned in puzzlement before turning toward the couch. It was only then she noticed that Evander was

sound asleep on the couch.

She felt sorry for him when she saw how the tall man had snuggled himself into the small couch.

Didn’t we agree that I will sleep on the couch?

Angeline pursed her red lips. She wanted to wake him up but could not bear to do so when she saw how exhausted

he was.

Before, she had seen Sylas taking their luggage out of the car. By the looks of it, he must have rushed there the

moment their plane landed.

After the long-haul flight and a long car ride, Evander must be very tired.

That thought warmed the cockles of Angeline’s heart. The soft amber light fell on his defined face and made him

look less cold.

She got down on her knees and caressed his gorgeous face with her fair fingers. Looking closely at his facial

features, she realized that he looked flawless.

Angeline might have acted with several dashing young men in the entertainment industry before, but they were

nothing compared to Evander.

Seeing that Evander was deep in his slumber, Angeline wondered if it would be all right for her to give him a peck.

She had no idea where her courage came from. In any case, she could not control herself and kissed Evander on

his lips.

Feeling his cold lips, Angeline began to relax and felt an electric current running through her body. It emboldened

her in an instant.

Angeline’s lips stayed on his for a while longer before moving away.

She stared at that calm face of Evander and felt her own cheeks burning. Her breathing became erratic when she

realized what she had done.

“Angeline, you must be sick and tired of living,” she mumbled to herself.

That was when she got frightened. She quickly returned to the bed and turned off the bedside lamp.

Just then, the man on the couch opened his eyes slowly and stared at the figure on the bed. No one had ever seen

such a gentle smile on his face.

He was not in the mood for sleep anymore.

Initially, he thought that his feelings for her were one-sided. That was why he took great care not to cross the line

so as not to make her feel uncomfortable.

However, that kiss from her just now made Evander realize that Angeline was hiding her true feelings. Her

reluctance to express her feelings resembled him a lot.

Gradually, he understood that he had to make a move. If not, their relationship would always be ambiguous.

He… could not wait any longer.

The storm came abruptly that night, and Angeline found it hard to fall asleep. It was not until early morning that she

began to doze off.

Just as she was about to fall asleep completely, her phone that was on the bed rang. The sudden disturbance

irritated her.

She fumbled for her phone and answered the call. “Hello? What is it?”

“Hi, Ms. Sorelle. I’m the police officer who brought you to the police station yesterday. There has been an urgent

incident. Ms. Darlene Henderson is trying to jump off a building. We suspect it has something to do with you. Can

you please come over?”

Angeline frowned. “But, I don’t know anybody named Darlene.”

The police paused before saying, “It’s Mrs. Quast.”

What? Mrs. Quast wants to take her own life?

Angeline opened her eyes abruptly and was stunned for a couple of seconds before sitting upright on the bed.

She questioned the caller in disbelief, “When did this start to happen? Where is the place?”

“Not too long ago. She’s at the top floor of the hospital.”

“Okay, I’ll come over right now.” With that, Angeline ended the phone call in a hurry.

The call had taken away all her desire for sleep. She did not even wash her face. After putting on her shoes,

sunglasses, and face mask, she removed her coat from the clothes rack.

By the time she reached the door, she had noticed that the blanket on the couch had been folded neatly, and

Evander was nowhere in sight.

Perhaps, he has gone back to Hallsbay with Sylas and the driver? But why didn’t he even inform me?

Although Angeline was perplexed, she had no time to think too much. After grabbing her bag, she ran out of the

hotel to hail a taxi.

In the hotel restaurant, Evander saw Angeline leaving in a hurry with his own eyes, and he was not pleased.

Where is that woman going? Why didn’t she inform me?

Just then, Sylas walked over with a plate of breakfast and asked in surprise, “Eh? Isn’t that Ms. Sorelle? It’s still so

early. Where is she going to? Mr. Golding, do you want me to get the driver to follow her?”

Evander shot him a glare and said unhappily, “What has she got to do with you?”

Sylas got such a fright that he began to stuff the croissant into his mouth and said nothing. However, in his heart,

he was grumbling.

Wasn’t he the one who rushed me to come here and fetch Ms. Sorelle yesterday? Judging from his worried

expression, I think he has feelings for Angeline.

“Let me get you a cup of coffee.”

Sylas turned and walked away. By the time he returned with the coffee, Evander was nowhere to be seen.

The hospital was in chaos when Angeline arrived.

On the top floor, Darlene could be seen standing outside the rusty railing. The ground was still very wet from the

rain earlier, and the strong gust of wind looked as if it could blow Darlene away at any moment.

“Stop right where you are. My husband is about to die. My family has no wish to carry on living anymore.”

“Madam, if you have any problems, just tell us so that we can help you. Please don’t do anything foolish.”

The hospital was now surrounded by tons of people, and all of them looked at Darlene nervously. The police were

cordoning the area off to maintain some order amidst the chaos.

If Darlene really jumped off the building, it would undoubtedly cause a huge stir.

“Please excuse me.”

Once Angeline got out of the taxi, she pushed her way through the crowd and came to the front. When she saw the

state that Darlene was in, she was so afraid that her face turned pale.

Although Angeline had encountered life-and-death scenes in her job, those were fake. Right now, what was taking

place in front of her was real.

Suddenly, it made her realize that life was so insignificant.

“I’m sorry, but you aren’t allowed to enter.”
