Her Precious Baby
Chapter 192

Chapter 192

“Since Joseline wants them, I’ll just let her have them.” Wilfred’s tone was as calm as ever. It was asthough he could not be bothered with the company anymore.

Mr. Clarke let out a long sigh. “All right. I’ll do as you ask.” He only agreed in a deep voice as he darednot say anything more to refute.

With that, he left with the documents in hand. However, just when he reached the door, he heardWilfred call out to him again. “Mr. Clarke, I’ll have to trouble you to draft another will for my privateassets.”

At the Jetroinian restaurant, Evander made a reservation and requested a window seat overlooking thenight scenery of the entire city from the staff. The place was lively as lights illuminated the city, and thestreet was flooded with cars.

With a gloomy expression, Angeline looked out of the window and cradled her chin in her palm.

“What would you like to eat?”

She only responded with a shake of her head when she heard Evander’s question. Her voice was atouch hoarse when she replied, “Go ahead and order. I don’t have much appetite.”

Evander didn’t force her. Taking the menu from the waiter, he randomly ordered a few signature dishes.

While leaning against the couch, he couldn’t help but fixate his gaze on Angeline.

The weather in October wasn’t too cold, and she wore a furry white long dress with a high collarcovering half her face. Her hair was tied into a high ponytail, making her look extraordinarily innocentand delicate.

“Are you still thinking about your grandpa?”

Evander’s words managed to bring Angeline back to her senses. She lowered her gaze and gave abitter smile. “Yeah. Although Grandpa kicked me out of the Sorelle family and cut off all ties with me, Icouldn’t bring myself to hate him after I found out about Joseline’s despicable behavior.”

“I understand.”

Hearing Evander’s response, Angeline was stunned and arched her brows. “What do you understand?”

Evander raised his eyes to glance at her. It was as though he could gaze right into her heart. He thenanswered faintly, “Old Mr. Sorelle is on his deathbed, so you can’t bring yourself to reprimand him. Yet,you still can’t let go of all the grievances you have been suffering over the past five years after youwere chased out from the family. Or maybe—”

He then paused for a moment.

Meanwhile, Angeline was slightly taken aback. Minutes passed by, and Evander finally continued,“You’re wondering if you didn’t get kicked out of the family, perhaps you could have successfully givenbirth to the baby back then, and it wouldn’t have gone missing.”

Everything he claimed was correct.

For some reason, Angeline felt relieved after hearing what Evander said.

At that moment, she felt at ease like never before because she had someone who knew her so welland was willing to share her pains.

“Mr. Golding, your dinner is ready.” Just then, the servers showed up with trays of food in their hands.

Evander gestured with his eyes, and they served all the Jetroinian dishes to the table.

The tableful of scrumptious fare was mouthwatering.

“You’re dismissed.” Evander waved the servers off. The next second, he rolled up his sleeves,revealing the sparkling invaluable watch on his wrist.

He removed the shells of the fresh shrimps and placed the plate of shrimps in front of Angeline beforeuttering tenderly, “Eat some food first. If you’re unwell, Joseline will be the winner.”

Following his reminder, Angeline pulled herself together and began to dig in.

However, a wave of nausea hit her after she had taken only a few bites, so she left the food aside. Itwasn’t until she took a few sips of warm water that she finally felt better.

In the meantime, Evander picked up the glass of wine from the table and slowly sipped at it, lookinggentle. “You don’t have to worry so much. On the contrary, I think the outcome wouldn’t have been anybetter even if you didn’t get kicked out of the Sorelle family. It might even be worse,” he drawled.

“What do you mean by that?”

“Even though you didn’t tell me about the father of your child before, are you sure your child wentmissing by accident?”

His question left Angeline speechless.

“If I’m not mistaken, someone must have been manipulating things secretly. In fact, that personprobably had their sights set on you since you got pregnant!”

Angeline clenched her fists under the table when she heard his remark. She couldn’t suppress heremotions even after taking a deep breath.

Judging from Evander’s words, he was telling her that someone had set her up. Hence, no matterwhether she was kicked out of the family or not, the ending would be the same.

Besides that, he hoped that she wouldn’t forget who it was that she should truly be taking revenge onbecause of her grudge against Wilfred.

As Evander’s words enlightened Angeline, a flash of gratitude fluttered across her eyes. “Thank you,Evander.”

This time, she didn’t address him as “Mr. Golding” in a distant tone. It was as if the stone wrappedaround her heart was slowly cracking without her knowing.

In truth, she had already forgiven the Sorelle family. It was just that she needed a breakthrough thatcould allow her to willingly let go of the hatred she had been holding for the Sorelle family for years.

Because Evander knew her like the back of his hand, he had successfully helped her to accomplishthat.

Bang! Bang!

At that moment, fireworks boomed outside the window.

Angeline immediately turned around to gaze out the glass. From her angle, she could watch thefireworks clearly.

Countless fireworks bloomed in the sky like dazzling flowers.

A surprised look crept onto Angeline’s face when she saw the fireworks. Since it’s not the festiveseason, the city center wouldn’t allow people to light fireworks. Who’s so bold to do so?

Despite that, she was on cloud nine. She hurriedly jumped to her feet from the chair and plasteredherself against the window before she spoke to Evander with excitement. “Look! How beautiful! It’s myfirst time seeing so many magnificent fireworks since my return to Hallsbay all those years ago.”

Evander remained seated on the chair. He couldn’t take his eyes off her as he noticed the happinessreflected in her eyes. “Yeah, me too.”

Below a commercial building a near distance away, three people were gathered around to play with thefireworks and have fun.

Floretta twirled around with sparklers in her hands, giggling with excitement all the while. “Thank you,Ms. Nancy! The fireworks are so pretty. I’ve never played with such a fun thing before.”

Nancy pulled Floretta under the roof and gazed at the latter lovingly. “You’re missing out on yourchildhood because your daddy is too strict with you. When I was your age, I almost drowned in the riverwhen I caught fish in the countryside. But look at me now! I’m still alive and well,” she said with a smile.

Meanwhile, Roger walked over after he finished lighting the fireworks. While rolling his eyes at Nancy,he grumbled unceremoniously, “You have got to be kidding. Floretta is not as crazy as you! Be careful.You’d better not be a bad influence on Floretta!”

Upon hearing his words, Nancy became furious. She then pulled Roger’s ear and roared, “Are youlooking for a beating? Hmph! Have you learned your lesson yet?”
