As Angeline settled Yasmine into the high chair, Danny tapped on the table. "Why don't you give him a call and ask him to come over? Let me meet him, and I'll give him a once-over for you!"Yasmine was almost kidnapped, and even Angeline's scumbag ex-husband suffered severe injuries while attempting to save the kid. It didn't make sense for her current partner not to show up."Does your mouth never rest even during mealtime?" Angeline used her fork to plate a piece of rib for Danny. "Here, have some!"Danny thought Angeline might feel embarrassed in front of her child. He chuckled. "Fine. Anyway, there'll be plenty of chances to meet him in the future. But honestly speaking... Since Yasmine's incident was such a big deal, you might want to talk to him and observe his reaction. See what he can do for you. It's not just about how much he values you but also about his capabilities! You've experienced heartbreak once. I don't want you to go through another unsuitable relationshi
Yasmine wrapped herself in a towel. Her face lit up with joy. "It smells so good. It's covered with Mommy's scent. If Xavier knew, he'd be so jealous!""Xavier wouldn't be jealous of you! You're injured..." Angeline embraced Yasmine, placed her on the bed, and dressed her in her favorite cartoon pajamas."You don't have to go to daycare tomorrow. I'll stay home with you.""Alright!" Yasmine cheerfully responded.Just as Angeline was about to put Yasmine to sleep, her phone rang. She picked it up and saw it was a video call from Robert. She answered it immediately and handed the phone over to Yasmine.Yasmine became incredibly excited when she spotted Robert, Jessica, and Xavier on the screen. "Mr. Lawson Senior, Beautiful Ms. Lawson, Xavier! I'm at Mommy's house right now, and I've already taken a bath like a good girl. I'm all fresh and ready to go to bed!""Oh, Yasmine. You're such a good girl!" Robert's gentle voice came through. "I've missed you so much.""Yasmine,
"Alright, Granddad. I know what to do," Angeline said. "It's getting late. You should rest now. Don't forget to take your hypertension medicine." "If you could take my advice and stop thinking about love and relationships, then I'd stop taking all these medicines," Robert jabbed. "Anyhow, I know what to do with Yasmine's injury. I'll have Mr. Millstone pick her up tomorrow. "You can't even remember to have your meal when you're busy with work, let alone look after a child. Just leave her to me!" Angeline gave an awkward smile without answering Robert. After hanging up the phone, Angeline returned to her bedroom. Yasmine lay quietly on the bed and got up when she saw Angeline. "Mommy!" Angeline put her phone on the cupboard by the entrance before walking to the bed and embracing Yasmine. "It's time for bed, my baby girl. Mommy always loves you!" "I'll always be your baby girl, Mommy. I love you too!" Yasmine nuzzled her face into Angeline's embrace before falling a
Angeline looked at Yasmine, who had come toward her. She put down her stylus. "Look who woke up early today! Come here, my baby girl." Angeline patted Yasmine's butt before hugging her in her embrace. "Yeah! I woke up early because I get to spend time with Mommy! I cherish the time I spend with Mommy!" Yasmine nuzzled her chubby cheeks into Angeline's embrace. "I love Mommy so much!" "Yes, I know you love me!" Angeline kissed Yasmine's head and said, "Lucy prepared breakfast. Let's wash up. Then we'll have breakfast, okay?" "Okay!" Yasmine said in excitement. She was well-behaved as she was carried to the washroom. She stood still while Angeline brushed her teeth and washed her face. After she was cleaned up, Yasmine sat on the chair with both hands by her sides while shaking her legs. She was overjoyed to spend time with Angeline, who even helped her wash up. Yasmine thought, "I won this time! I get to experience something that Xavier didn't! Let me show off to h
"Yes, Rachel White."Asher nodded. "Ms. Dalton's testimony said Rachel had an accomplice but didn't know who it was. Plus, the kidnappers didn't know what Yasmine looked like. It was Rachel who told them. "Rachel had seen Yasmine and the boy named Gabriel. Then, she called the kidnappers to abduct them." Angeline clenched her fist before nodding. "Okay, Mr. Millstone." "Although Rachel initially got away, the police quickly found and arrested her. But still, please try to stay safe, Ms. Angeline." Asher said worriedly, "After all, Rachel was after you to begin with!" Yasmine was just a kid. She wouldn't be enemies with Rachel. Angeline was Rachel's target all along.It was because Jeremy had chosen Angeline as his granddaughter-in-law and disliked Rachel. And because of Angeline, Jeremy grounded Nathaniel, preventing Rachel from seeing him. Also, because of Angeline, Jeremy pressured the White family to marry Rachel off to an old bachelor. All these incidents br
After that, Rachel and her accomplice vowed to teach Angeline a lesson. They couldn't believe that an adopted daughter like Angeline could be so arrogant, even willing to go so far as to pay the White family to ruin Rachel's life.So, they decided to scheme a plan against Angeline. Not only would she not have the time to pay any attention to Rachel, but it would also serve as a valuable lesson for Angeline. Rachel immediately agreed to the plan and told the man Angeline's weakness was her kids. Then, Ingrid heard the man suggest kidnapping Angeline's children.Rachel told the man Angeline had a pair of twins. Yasmine was an active, friendly kid who attended kindergarten, whereas Xavier was homeschooled, which might be more challenging to get his hands on. Rachel also mentioned Yasmine had stringent security. Not only did the kindergarten have high-level security, but Nathaniel told her that Robert even had several bodyguards stationed in and out of the kindergarten. Getting clo
All Ingrid wanted was for Tommy not to get bullied in jail. She didn't want to get him out of jail. "Angie, I need to tell you something, but please don't be mad at me." Ingrid said earnestly, "Yesterday, I leveraged Yasmine's rescue as a reason to have Ned save Tommy from getting bullied in jail. "But don't worry, Angie. I didn't ask him to get Tommy out. Tommy still deserves to be in jail for the atrocities he committed. It's just that…" "I get where you're going, Ingrid," Angeline said. "But these are different matters. While you've saved my daughter, Henrietta will never return." "I know, I know!" Ingrid quickly replied. "That's why I don't intend to get Tommy out of jail! I know you're the one who pressured the prison officers not to give him a commutation. "What Tommy did doesn't deserve a shortened sentence. But Ned had helped me this time. So, could you please not blame him?" "I'm not mad, Ingrid. We're just doing what we can to achieve our own purpose," Angel
If the kid wasn't a Fletcher, Sherryn wondered why Ned would even risk his life to save her. Sherryn was mad about this. She even secretly wished something could've happened to Yasmine so that when Angeline and Ned remarried, they would have a child of the Fletcher family. To Sherryn, Angeline would still be a match for Ned because she had another man's children, even though she was the Lawsons' adopted daughter and the founder of Vitality Biotech Group. Sherryn suddenly realized her directive tone and recalled Angeline had no intention of reconciling with Ned yet. She remembered Ned saying Angeline only wanted to spend the rest of her life with her children, whom Sherryn didn't even know who their father was. Then, all the inheritance Angeline got from the Lawson family would fall to these illegitimate children. Hence, despite her dissatisfaction with Angeline's children, it wasn't time for Sherryn to swagger before Angeline. After a consideration, Sherryn pressed her lips
