Her Precious Baby

Soon came the day of the banquet.

The film crew of The Journey was only there to walk the red carpet to boost their popularity, so only Derek,

Angeline, Jacob, the supporting actress, Madelyn Sullivan, and the supporting actor Julian Collins were present.

Before the banquet started at half past seven, there were already rows of expensive luxury cars parked in front of

the hotel. All the guests were either wealthy or influential.

When getting off the car, Angeline looked at the fans who were holding signs not far away and shouting frantically.

Although there were bodyguards around, she was still frightened.

She had been filming with the film crew recently and did not read the news, so she had no idea that she and Jacob

were so popular.

“Angie, drink some water.” Jacob, who was in the same car as her, had a worried expression on his face. “Don’t be

afraid. I’ll handle the media’s questions later while you just smile.”

“Thank you.”

Angeline chuckled, feeling much more relaxed because of his words.

She looked at the swarming media. This is such a major event. I guess Evander will be here too.

Angeline was taken aback by the thought.

Why do I always think of Evander involuntarily now?

Before she could dwell on it, it was their turn to walk the red carpet. Jacob, who had gotten off the car first, opened

the door for Angeline and chivalrously stretched out his hand to her.

As soon as Angeline exited the vehicle, she attracted the attention of the crowd in front of the hotel.

She was wearing a dark gold dress with an off-shoulder neckline that revealed her sexy collarbones. Her wavy hair

was hanging freely down her back, while the small silver earrings added to her charm.

As soon as they appeared, the fans went crazy and started shouting.

“My goddess, Angeline, I love you!”

“Jacob, you’re the best!”

Holding Jacob’s arm, Angeline nodded and smiled at the fans in the distance. Then, she hitched up her dress and

walked to the signature board with a graceful demeanor.

After signing their names, they were interviewed together with the crew of The Journey.

The media started filming them and bombarding them with questions.

“Mr. McKenna, how confident are you about the ratings of The Journey?”

Derek smiled faintly and said righteously, “I always believe that you get back what you give. I have witnessed the

efforts of these young actors and am proud of them. It’s enough as long as they can bring a wonderful

performance to the audience.”

“Angeline, Jacob, I heard that the netizens are happy to see the both of you playing as a couple. Have either of you

developed feelings for the other during filming?”

Jacob took the microphone and answered jokingly, “That’s a tough question. Of course, I have. After all, Ms. Sorelle

is such an outstanding actress.”

Hearing his reply, the media and Derek exclaimed in excitement and started teasing them.

The interview was brought to a climax in an instant.

Angeline took the microphone calmly, looked straight at the camera, and said with a dramatic sigh, “Jacob usually

acts like a little boy on the set and is always asking us for snacks. Everyone, including Derek, likes him. Jacob’s fans,

watch out!”

Her humorous response resolved the misunderstanding Jacob had caused with his reply earlier while also being

mindful of the fans’ feelings.

After all, she did not want to be attacked by the fans even though she wanted to be popular.

After the interview, the crew of The Journey walked into the hotel.

A black car had stopped in front of the hotel not long ago. The air in the car was so tense and chilly that Sylas had

goosebumps all over his arms.

“Mr. Golding, it’s our turn to walk the red carpet.”

“Okay,” Evander replied.

There was a deep frown on his cold, gloomy face.

He did not forget the earnestness in Jacob’s eyes when the latter said he had feelings for Angeline. It showed that

Jacob had meant what he said.

At the same time, Angeline would often do something unexpected, so Evander did not know what she would do this

time.

Sylas opened the car door, allowing Evander to get off the car.

As soon as he appeared, all the noise at the scene seemed to have been silenced as the crowd quietly made way

for him.

The well-tailored handmade suit accentuated his tall and upright figure. With one hand in his pocket, he walked

down the red carpet calmly, exuding a gracious and elegant air.

Everyone’s eyes were drawn to him in unison, and some even gasped.

Compared with Jacob’s good looks, Evander exuded the unique charm of a successful man, making him look

sophisticated.

“Welcome, Mr. Golding. We’re honored to be blessed with your presence.”

Even the coordinator of the banquet was flattered and hurried over to greet Evander.

“It’s been a while,” Evander said politely. He shook hands with the coordinator and took a photo with him. It was a

spectacular scene.

“Old man!” Jacob snorted in disdain when he saw the scene outside from the floor-to-ceiling windows of the hotel

lobby.

He’s just a successful businessman. Why are there so many people buttering him up?

Although Angeline appeared calm and emotionally unaffected, she still tightened her grip around the wine glass in

her hand. I didn’t expect Evander would really come to the banquet.

Recalling how she had parted on less than pleasant terms with him at the kindergarten the other day, she did not

know how to face him at that moment.

Just as she was absorbed in her thoughts, Evander walked into the lobby surrounded by the crowd.

When he passed by Angeline, the latter could not help but hold her breath and flash him a nervous smile, but he

ignored her and did not spare her a single glance.

Angeline’s heart instantly sank.

Although no one noticed, she was still extremely embarrassed. After thinking about it, she realized that it was

normal as they were not even friends. The only times they interacted with each other were when they dealt with

matters related to Floretta.

Now that Floretta has the company of her friends at the kindergarten, I probably won’t be needed anymore, and I

won’t cross paths with Evander again in the future…

Angeline looked at the man who was socializing not far away with all eyes on him. For some reason, her heart

ached as if it was being pricked by a needle.

“Ms. Sorelle, would you like a drink?”

A waiter came over with a tray of red wine glasses. Without hesitation, Angeline took a wine glass and emptied the

content.

After that, Angeline regained her senses, clenched her fists, and inwardly reminded herself, Stop thinking too much,

Angeline. You and Evander are from two different worlds. Don’t have any thoughts you’re not supposed to have!

The alcohol content in the red wine was high. After a while, Angeline felt a little dizzy. She informed the film crew

and Derek before walking to the restroom.

As she was about to wash her face at the sink, the waiter from earlier suddenly appeared behind her. The scar on

his face made him look even more vicious.

Astonished, Angeline was about to shout when her mouth and nose were covered by the man’s hand.

She tried to push the man away, but she could not exert any strength. Her dizziness grew in intensity until she

eventually passed out.
