"Let the driver go, too. Wait for my call," Sean instructed Taylor.
He naturally took the suitcase from Angeline. He held the child in one arm and the luggage in theother.novelbin
He said to Angeline, "Lead the way!"
Yasmine looked at Angeline's face cautiously. Her little hand clutched Sean's coat tightly frombehind.
Angeline had no choice but to follow Sean to the parking lot.
Both Angeline and Sean were striking in appearance. Carrying the adorable child only added totheir charm. In his suit, Sean exuded an authoritative presence while still showing a down-to-earthside by handling the luggage and child. Together, the three attracted many glances from passers-by.
As Sean and Angeline walked away with the child, the Lawson Global executives bombarded Taylorwith questions.
"What's going on? Doesn't Mr. Lawson have an engagement with the Scott family? Why is the childalready this grown?"
"Yeah, I never heard about Mr. Lawson getting married! Who is that stunning woman?"
"What a gorgeous woman! They already have a child! She must be his wife. Mr. Lawson and hiswife even look like a true couple."
Gossip was a natural human tendency. Even the usually aloof executives of Lawson Global were noexception.
"This is Mr. Lawson's private affair. I'm not entirely sure. If you're interested, you might ask Mr.Lawson when he returns," Taylor responded with a smile.
"Let's forget it then!" the executives said as they walked away.
"You won't believe what happened the last time I casually asked him about his engagement partywith Ms. Scott from the Scott family! He sent me off to Evercrest for two months... I swear, I almostdidn't make it back!"
Meanwhile, Ned stood still, watching Sean and Angeline leave with the girl. He was gasping forbreath and nearly collapsed against the wall.
He considered the child's age and couldn't believe Angeline's lost child had survived. However, afterhe confirmed with the hospital, he was almost sure that the child hadn't survived.
Ned inexplicably felt a sense of relief.
For years, the loss of Angeline's child had tormented Ned almost daily, especially as morememories of Angeline returned over time.
For over four years, Ned had recalled many moments spent with Angeline, though only fragmentedpieces of their past life together.
For instance, he recalled that they returned to the ancient River Town and stayed at Anne's house inthe summer.
The day he regained his memories of Anne was in front of her tombstone. His eyes were red, andhe could barely stand.
He remembered Anne's scrambled eggs, the chilled sodas she handed him, and how she would rubhis head during arguments with Angeline, calling him the most handsome boy.
After regaining those memories, Ned felt regretful for having shoved Anne.
He had promised Angeline that he would treat Anne like his own mother.
Yet, he had pushed Anne, which led to her death.
Ned had apologized countless times to Anne's cold tombstone. However, no one was there togently pat his head and tell him not to worry anymore.
He wanted to apologize to Angeline, but the incident with the child made him too afraid to confronther.
Even though these memories constituted only a tiny portion of his past 20 years, they weresufficient to overwhelm Ned with profound regret.
He even prayed to the heavens to cease any further recollection of his past or recover anyadditional memories.
