Her Precious Baby

Chapter 257

“Huh? Wliat do you mean?” Francesca was taken aback.

Nancy was so anxious that she stamped her feet. Even the grip on her phone began to loosen as she spoke. “It's hard for me to explain it now. We must not let Angeline see the news. Hurry up!”

Francesca dared not delay any longer and quickly barged into the bedroom with Nancy.

Still, they were too late. What greeted them was Angeline following the latest news on her phone closely and tapping on the video news.

“At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Evander Golding, the CEO of Golding Group, showed up in front of the company with his assistant. When the media inquired about the rumor of his wedding, he confirmed it was true and invited everyone to his wedding...”

After the newscaster finished his words professionally, the camera panned to Evander and Sylas, who were surrounded by the crowd and flashlights.

The reporters asked questions one after another, but it was hard to hear what they were talking about at the scene.

Evander was clad in a black suit that accentuated liis tall figure. He was also wearing a pair of oversized sunglasses, revealing only his chiseled features.

He was expressionless as he faced the camera and said, “The wedding will proceed as scheduled.”

Although he spoke casually, liis words managed to stir up some emotions in Angeline.

The wedding... will proceed as scheduled...

The words constantly reverberated in Angeline's ears, and her face turned ashen. With a thud, she dropped her phone on the floor.

Upon returning to her senses after a short while, she chuckled self-deprecatingly.

Nancy held her forehead at that sight. Damn it! Why didn't I get here sooner? I could have stopped her.

“Cahn down, Angeline.” Nancy reached out to hug Angeline but was shocked by how cold her body felt when she touched her.

Rubbing Angeline's shoulders worriedly, Nancy comforted, “Why do you keep thinking of Evander? An A-list celebrity like you is the dream woman of every rich young man.”

As soon as Nancy's words fell. Angeline curled her lips and chuckled bitterly. "Do you also flunk that Evander and Olivine's engagement is true?”

“I...” Nancy was stumped for words. She glanced at Angeline and said, “Yes. You should forget about him.”

She had also refused to believe when Valerie made Evander's engagement public back then.

Yet now the news had spread like wildfire. Even Evander had also shown up and admitted it himself. She believed it was confirmed that Evander would get engaged to Olivine soon.

Perhaps Angeline herself was also aware of that, for she was unexpectedly silent. She hugged her knees and stared out the window blankly.

The silent pain is usually more frightening than loud crying.

Nancy knew in her heart that there was nothing she could do anymore. She left Angeline alone to calm down and walked out of the bedroom with Francesca.

“How is it? Can you reach Evander?”

“His line is still busy.” Francesca was filled with anxiety. “Wliat do we do? Even Ms. Floretta has been crying, saying she wants to cut the ties with Mr. Golding.”

Nancy turned toward the living room and landed her gaze on Floretta. who had curled up into a ball while hugging a small blanket on the couch.

Perhaps the little girl was emotionally exhausted, for she whimpered softly and drifted off to sleep.

Nancy's heart wrenched when she took in Floretta's and Angeline's looks. She had no choice but to take out her phone and look for a number.

She froze for a few moments before she made the call.

“Roger, get your ass over here. All of this is driving me mad!”

In the most majestic building in the city center, the employees of Golding Group were leaving one after another after work. Only the general manager's office was brightly lit on the topmost floor.

“Mi\ Jantz. Mi; Golding has given liis order that he doesn't want to see anyone, so you can't go in there.”

A loud noise was heard from the dooiway. Sylas was trying to stop Roger.

“Don't give me that. Who do you think you are?” Roger got a little impatient as he spoke.

Then he ignored Sylas and forcefully opened the door.

In the office, Evander was sitting in front of the computer desk and typing on the keyboard with his slender fingers.

His eyes immediately darkened when he heard the noise of Roger barging in without permission.

“Who let you in? Do you want another deduction from your bonus?”

His cold voice sent a chill down Roger's spine, and Roger immediately wimped out.

“Cahn down, Evander. I was too anxious just now.”

He picked up the glass on the table, but before he could hand it to Evander, the latter snapped, “Get out.”

Feeling somewdiat aw'kward, Roger said, “Evander, don't go overboard.”

Evander was in a terrible mood that day. His expression tinned gloomier as he warned, “I'm not going to repeat myself.”

Roger was rendered speechless.

Unlike howr bold he used to be, he took a few steps backward with a hint of sullenness on liis face. In the end. he couldn't bear it anymore, so he slammed the glass on the table heavily.

A few drops of water spilled onto the table.

“Stop being presumptuous, Evander. You used to despise me for being a womanizer. How can you turn yourself into an unfaithful man now?”

Roger pressed his palms against the table, looking at Evander with a furious look.

Evander felt a pang in liis heart when he heard that. No longer having the mood to work, he moved liis hands away from the keyboard and shot Roger a cold glare.

Helplessly, he said. “We're different.”

Roger sneered, “Indeed, we're different because you're much more heartless than me. You didn't hesitate to hurt the woman wdio loves you for the sake of the arranged marriage. Do you know’ wrhat Angeline has become now?”

Evander felt his heart lurch and frowned in response. Angeline? She's awrake and saw the news? Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Although liis mind was filled with questions, he maintained a calm and emotionless look as he spoke. “I'm not in the mood to deal with these.”

Shock filled Roger's eyes. He couldn't believe Evander could let go of Angeline completely.

“Very well. Wliat a great person you are, Evander.” Roger let out an angry snort. Then he fished out liis phone from his pocket and showed Evander something. “I don't wrant to care about this shit, but I feel bad for Angeline. Look at what you've done to her!”

Silence ensued after that.

Eventually, Evander couldn't help but look at the video.

His nose stung when he saw the slender figure sitting on the chair.

Angeline was dressed in a blue-gray nightgown, with her long, slightly curly hail' draped over her shoulders, covering half of her face.

It was hard to tell the emotion on her face. However, her gaze was empty as she looked out the window;
