When Angeline returned and sat down by the heater, Sean passed her a cup of mulled wine."Thanks!" Angeline took a sip, savoring the fruity flavors of the mulled wine that Sean boiled. Just as she was about to compliment him, her phone in her pocket began to vibrate.Noticing that the call was from Nathaniel, Angeline planned to just ignore it. However, seeing as how he persistently called numerous times, she had no choice but to answer, "What is it?""Angeline…" Nathaniel's voice softened. "Sean blocked me."Angeline glanced at Sean, who was leaning lazily against the camping chair and sipping on his mulled wine. She asked, "So you called me because you're looking for him?""I wanted to apologize on behalf of Rachel. She's still young…""She's 20 years old? Nathaniel, if you really like Rachel then just stay committed to her. Don't leave her hanging while still accepting the blind dates your family arranged for you! "Instead of getting mad at you for going on these blind dates
Rachel was pushing Angeline's buttons. For that, she deserved to be taught a lesson.Therefore, Nathaniel could only leave this matter for the time being. Once everything settled down, he would then help Rachel and try to lessen her plight."I won't butt into Rachel's affairs anymore. Can you ask Sean to unblock me, please?" Nathaniel pleaded."Nathaniel, I've realized that you really have no shame. We already severed ties yesterday. The reason why Sean blocked you was because you unjustly tried to protect the person who wants to harm our children! "Now you're asking me to have him unblock you? Do you think I'm some pushover?" Despite her harsh words, Angeline's tone had softened tremendously."I'm sorry! I already know my mistakes! Please ask him to unblock me! Hooper Group has some cooperation matters to discuss with him. Sean wasn't such an unprofessional person before. Is it true that people who have kids all act this way?" Nathaniel sighed.While Nathaniel didn't mean it th
With that, Sean carried Angeline onto another RV and set her down on the couch.The nanny was still in the other RV, so Sean pretended to search for a first aid kid and then proceeded to remove Angeline's shoes and socks to examine her.Seeing the bodyguards approaching, Angeline nervously gripped the edge of the couch. This was so awkward. She wondered how Sean managed to appear so natural.The bodyguard stood by the door and asked Sean, "Mr. Lawson, do you need help? Or would you like to head to the hospital?"Angeline pursed her lips, deciding to remain silent."No need. She probably just grazed her feet against the rocks. Applying some ointment would do. There's some in the first aid kid," Sean said as he placed the ointment to the side. He then removed his jacket, rolled up his sleeve, and boldly said to the bodyguard, "I can take care of it. You may leave. Don't forget to shut the door on your way out." "Yes, Mr. Lawson!" The bodyguard said and kindly shut the door for t
Angeline's lips were left red and swollen from the kiss. She rested her head weakly on Sean's shoulder as she struggled to catch her breath.Sean slid his hand from her head to her neck, gently caressing it as he waited for her to regain composure."Five minutes is up," he said. Angeline's hot breath lightly brushed against Sean's neck, making his body stiffen up. Unable to resist, he tilted her chin up with his thumb and gently placed a kiss on her lips. He reminded her once again, "Five minutes are up. Or would you like to continue?"Slightly embarrassed, Angeline propped her hands on the back of the couch and got up from Sean's lap.She truly didn't know how Sean managed to handle these situations with such ease. Comparatively, she seemed to be a complete amateur."Since you told everyone that you sprained your ankle, you shouldn't leave the RV. Rest up.""If I sleep here tonight, does that mean you'll sleep in the tent?" Angeline asked."Yup…" Sean said as he put his jacke
"Are you that eager to be alone with me?" Sean suddenly spoke as he escorted Angeline to the front of the RV."Huh?" Angeline lifted her head to look at Sean.Sean smiled as he glanced at the tightly clutched bag in her arms. "You seem well prepared."Angeline felt her face heat up. She dodged his gaze, feeling extremely embarrassed. "I… I just wanted to be prepared, that's all.""I'm eager to use it, too," Sean whispered, his lips curving into a smirk. "Very eager."Angeline felt her cheeks burn up even more. She quickly said, "You should get some rest. I'll go check on the kids now.""When we return home, let's use it as soon as possible." Angeline looked at him wide-eyed, thinking how he managed to say such inappropriate things while still keeping a straight face."What do you think?" Sean stood in place, as if waiting for her reply."W-We'll see how it goes!" Angeline said, feeling slightly regretful."According to our original plan, we were supposed to be out for two da
Xavier looked up at Angeline and reached out his chubby little arms. He wrapped them around her neck and rested his head against her shoulder, rubbing his soft, chubby cheeks against it. "I like you the most, Mommy. You can be with whoever you want to be. Don't compromise for me and Yasmine," Xavier said gently. "I'll like whoever you like. He doesn't have to be my biological father."Xavier rarely expressed his emotions so openly. Angeline stroked his back and kissed his head. "I know! I love Xavier and Yasmine the most, too. I love you the most in this world!"Xavier hugged her even tighter, the tips of his ears still red. "Can you hug me to sleep tonight, Mommy?""Sure!" Angeline put Xavier down beside her so that he could rest his head on her arm. He hooked a leg over her and held on to her tightly. "Alright, go to sleep!" Angeline kissed Xavier's chubby face and turned to pull a blanket over Yasmine. Yasmine was sprawled on the bed, fast asleep. She had no idea that her
"She had too much fun yesterday, and now she can't wake up." Angeline rubbed Yasmine's face with a warm towel. Yasmine's eyelashes fluttered as she tried her best to open her eyes. Once her face had been wiped, her head fell back onto Sean's shoulder as she dozed off again. Sean carried Yasmine while Angeline held Xavier's hand. When they got out of the RV, Angeline was still in slight disbelief when she saw the helicopter. They got on the helicopter. Sean woke Yasmine up and helped her put on headphones, saying, "Didn't you want to see the sunrise from a helicopter? We're on the helicopter right now, Yasmine!"The turbulence from the helicopter blasted them in the face. Yasmine slowly opened her eyes. When she realized that she was on a helicopter, she immediately perked up in excitement. The sky wasn't fully bright yet. As the helicopter rose slowly, the children yelled excitedly when they saw the plains spanned across like waves below them.Xavier pressed his face against
Sean smiled at Angeline and didn't force her to take out the ring.He had been preparing this for a long time. He had done everything, from designing the ring to picking the diamond. "Do you like it?" he asked, even though Angeline hadn't looked at it yet. Yasmine thought Sean was asking her and Xavier whether they liked seeing the sunrise. She blinked as she stared at the sunrise outside and nodded, her mouth full of chocolate. "Yes! I love it!" Angeline's ears had turned completely red, but she nodded at Sean.She liked it. No matter what kind of ring Sean had gotten for her, she would like it. Yasmine was still chattering when they got off the helicopter, but she fell asleep at the dining table while they were having breakfast.Sean carried her back to bed, tucked her in, and then kissed her face before returning to the dining table. He patted Xavier on the head when he saw him feeding himself with his tiny cutleries. Then he said to Angeline, "Mr. Lawson Senior cal
