Her Precious Baby

Chapter 241

He spoke in a soft, low tone, and there was tenderness in his eyes.

“I...” Angeline found herself at a loss for words as she stared at Evander in bewilderment, unable to believe that he

did not lose his temper. “I didn't have time to react because of the intensity of the situation at the time...”

“You're not hurt, are you?”

“No.” Angeline quickly responded with a shake of her head.

She did not even dare to look Evander in the eyes as she sensed a tempest gathering beneath his composed

exterior.

“Are... you okay?” she asked him tentatively.

Evander hummed in response. “Bring Sebastian along and leave with me.”

"Huh? But...”

Angeline was taken aback by his sudden demand. She glanced at Hanson, feeling deep down that it might not be

the best course of action.

However, Evander had already picked up the backpack on her chair and grabbed her hand, all ready to leave.

“Wait!”

At that moment, Hanson extended a hand to stop him with a grim expression.

“Mi; Golding, can't you see that Angeline is unwilling to leave with you?” he warned while tamping down his anger.

Evander, whose aura was just as intimidating, narrowed his eyes slightly in response.

“So what? I warned you long ago to stay away from her.”

Not to be outdone, Hanson met his gaze without flinching. “She's not a possession of yours.”

“She is my girlfriend!”

Evander deliberately slowed down his tone and enunciated word by word.

His simple phrase was all it took to make Hanson explode with rage.

Even before that, he had been reluctant to accept that Angeline belonged to Evander. The latter's words only

served to expose his sore spot.

As soon as he finished liis words, Evander forcefully led Angeline and Sebastian out of the hotel room, leaving the

door to shut with a loud thud.

Hanson made fists with his hands on both sides of his legs upon seeing that. Despite the fury dancing in his eyes, he

took into account their relationship and stopped himself from chasing after them.

At that moment, he felt utterly useless.

He had always been skilled at masking his feelings, but this time, he failed to hide the remorse in his eyes.

Although he had always placed benefits first, all he felt right then was emptiness, as if there was a hole in his heart

and no amount of money could fill it.

His resolve grew in strength. I must make Angeline stay by my side no matter what!

Shortly after Evander led Angeline and Sebastian out of the hotel, they got into a black Maybach.

The driver glanced at Angeline from his seat and nodded respectfully.

"Ms. Sorelie.”

“Go and accompany the child. You're not allowed to get in the car without my consent,” Evander instructed with a

grim expression.

“Understood.”

With a nod, the driver promptly got out of the car and took Sebastian downstairs to play.

The car door swung shut, leaving Angeline and Evander inside, and the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

Evander fixed her with a piercing gaze that seemed to possess a mystical ability to see through her innermost

thoughts.

Angeline lowered her head, feeling guilty even though she had done nothing wrong.

“You know what I want to ask.” Evander effortlessly threw the question at her in his customary icy tone.

Upon noticing the abrupt change in his attitude, Angeline furrowed her brows and used an accusatory voice in her

speech.

“You were pretending the whole time in front of Hanson in the hotel, but you've never actually trusted me, right?”

Fury rose within her as she stared at him indifferently.

Evander did not refute her words. He simply stared back at her.

“You two were alone in the room and leaning close to one another'. Do you think you can give me a clear

explanation of what you have done?”

His gaze was icy cold, and his aggressive demeanor made the temperature in the car drop to the level of a freezing

cellar.

Angeline held her forehead and calmed herself down before explaining patiently, “I don't get what you're

misunderstanding. He merely took me to the hotel so I could change after' someone dumped paint on me.”

She was furious, but even more so, frustrated. I can live with the netizens not believing those photos, but Evander,

too, doesn't trust me at all.

Angeline did not care if others misunderstood.

However, Evander's misunderstanding of her made her heart ache as if a sharp arrow had pierced through her.

Evander felt a surge of anger bubbling up within him as he took in her cold expression.

I can't believe that the first thing this woman did when something happened to her was not to inform me but to

hang out with her ex-boyfriend.

The drought of Hanson's incredibly loving look made him feel as though he was gradually losing his mind. His lips

started to grow pale as drey curled upward.

“You still have feelings for him, don't you?”

“Evander, do you know what you're talking about?”

Angeline's expression darkened, and disbelief was written all over her face.

The fact that Evander was die one saying such hurtful words made her disbelief even greater.

“What's the matter? Did I say something wrong?”

He had a look of utter contempt, and Iris abrupt roar echoed throughout the car.

“There's nothing I can do about it ifdrat's what you think. Let's calm down on our own and—”

Before Angeline could even finish her words, she felt a sudden pain in her chin. Her face paled as she stared at

Evander's face right before her.

Despite having tears in her eyes, she made every effort not to let them fall out of pride.

On the other hand, die indifference on her face seemed to pierce Evander's eyes, and his heart swelled with

unquenchable wrath as he pinched her chin harder with his slender fingers.

“Don't challenge me. Angeline!” The next moment, he lowered his head and kissed her scarlet lips.

Angeline knitted her brows hi response and reached out to hit liis chest.

However, not only were her hits soft as cotton to him, they even aroused his desire in him.

He wasted no time and pinned her against the glass, die anger in his eyes replaced by lust.

Smack!

The sound reverberated in the space.

Evander's head swung to the side from the impact, and a vivid red handprint was visible on his face.

Angeline could still feel a slight throb in her palm. She stared at him in a daze, looking somewhat distressed.

Never did she think that she would actually hit him in a panic.

What was even more unexpected to her was that Evander did not avoid it even though he could have.

He froze in diat position, his eyes downcast and expression hidden by his bangs.

His silence made it impossible for her to infer liis emotions.

Angeline frowned when she saw that, a hint of regret reflected in her eyes.

"Get out!”

Just as she was about to apologize, Evander's icy voice rang out.

Angeline gazed at his stem profile, feeling unspeakably aggrieved. Without uttering a word, she got out of the car

and led Sebastian away.

Every office building in the city was lit up as night fell and lights came on, reflecting the shadows of busy employees

through the glass windows.
