"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
After all, one of them had gotten Lawson Global through the sanctions enforced by Marvonia, whereas the other was the founder of a company that had been sanctioned by Marvonia. Both of them had the ability to establish themselves from scratch and excel. There was no reason for them to fall out with each other over Lawson Global."Rest here, then. I'll go and keep the kids company," Angeline said, smiling. "Wait, wait. Angeline, I have a personal question to ask you." Kieron put his legs down and looked at her with his eyes shining brightly. "Do you know who made Sean break his own rules? I'm so curious!""Ah, well… I'm not too sure about personal issues like that. You'd better ask him!" Angeline smiled as she took her jacket from the couch and went to the kids.The moment she sat down, Yasmine reached out to grab her hand. "Mommy, Mommy! Who's Melissa?"Angeline was stunned. "What?""I saw Daddy's phone screen just now. Someone named Melissa called. Do you know her, Mommy? Is
"What's the point? I found out about the two of you, didn't I? Have you ever thought about what people would say about the Lawsons if they found out?" Robert was irritated at the mere thought of it. "That's enough for today! Go home and don't hover in front of me like an eyesore! Remember one thing. If your relationship is discovered, I don't mind revealing the fact that Shane had replaced Sean to become the adopted son of the Lawsons!"Angeline saw how serious Robert was. Feeling surprised, she said, "Granddad…""Sean will leave the Lawson family sooner or later. You… You're my granddaughter, and you're the future successor of the Lawson family. I'll not allow anything to tarnish your reputation! If you don't care that Sean's identity will be revealed, then don't mind me! Go ahead and parade around so that people can find out about your relationship!" Robert stormed out, slamming the door of the study as he left.As soon as he was out of the study, he clutched at his chest. He co
