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
"That's right!" Angeline answered honestly. Sean stared straight ahead as he drove one-handed, and his lips curved upward involuntarily. "I've already received my birthday present.""Hmm?" Angeline couldn't understand what he meant. "Your company on this trip is your birthday present for me. I'm really happy that… both you and the kids are here," Sean said.Angeline was stunned. "Was it yesterday or today? It's today, isn't it? Today is your birthday!"No wonder he had wanted her to come with him for the weekend. "So it wasn't a spontaneous idea! You planned to go on a trip with me." Angeline gripped the ring tightly. "You should've told me in advance!"At least she would have been prepared.Sean took Angeline's hand and kissed it gently. "I told you that I've received my gift. I'm very happy today, Angeline.""And…" He hesitated and glanced at her, his smile widening. "I brought you with me because I really wanted to have fun with you. I didn't think we would be using the
"I won't butt in. I'll take a plane back!" Lara waved the plane ticket she was holding. She swiftly said goodbye to Angeline and the children before leaving.Kieron was stunned. He didn't know if he should go after Lara, or if he should force his way onto Sean's plane for the sake of comfort.He pondered for a moment and decided that his own comfort was more important.Besides, he was part of the Steele family. It might cause gossip if he were to fly back to Krontos with Lara, especially since the Scotts were probably arranging for Monica's wedding to take place soon. Although Kieron always maintained a lackadaisical attitude, he was still quite sharp when it came to matters concerning the family.As a friend, he felt sympathetic for Lara's plight, but for a serious issue like marriage, he would still have to discuss things with the family elders before he made a decision."Now that I'm alone, take me with you! I won't take up much space!" Kieron said, laughing.Sean was about
