Chapter 185

Xavier opened the car door and saw the pink car seat inside. He raised his eyebrows. “Pink?”
“You arrived too suddenly. This car seat was prepared for Yasmine. Just sit in it for now, and we’ll go and buy one in a color you like tomorrow,” explained Sean.
Xavier had already investigated Sean thoroughly. He knew from the license plate that it was his car for real.
Xavier felt happier when he saw that Sean had prepared a car seat for Yasmine. He maintained a poker face as he nodded.
Sean put Xavier’s safety belt on for him and sent a video to Angeline.
Angeline called very quickly after that.
When she saw Xavier sitting in the car seat with his arms crossed, Angeline scolded him, “You’re getting too big for your boots! You just left a note and then got on a plane home? Don’t you know that you’re a four-year-old child? What if you meet bad people on the way?”
“I’m not four yet! I’m young and don’t know any better!” Xavier turned his head away, still sulking at Angeline. He muttered to himself, “Meeting bad people… I think bad people would wish that they could run away from me.”
Angeline knew that he was holding a grudge against her because she had scolded him. She breathed out slowly and said in a softer tone, “Alright. Xavier, don’t be mad at me. Send a video to Mr. Danvers later. He’s worried sick! I shouldn’t have spoken so harshly… I’m sorry. It was my fault! Xavier, you’re the best and most understanding little boy! You’re our little genius.”
The tips of Xavier’s ears turned even redder when he heard Angeline. However, he stubbornly refused to turn and look directly at the camera.
When Angeline saw how red his ears were, she knew that he was no longer furious.
“I’ll have to trouble you, Mr. Lawson. Please send Xavier to Mr. Lawson Senior’s place tomorrow,” Angeline said to Sean.
Sean turned the camera to himself and said to her, “We’ll let Xavier decide. He wants to monitor me, and I can look after him during this time.” Angeline was slightly startled. “Do you have any experience with children?”
“I can learn even if I have no experience. Xavier is so smart that he’ll teach me, right?” Sean turned to look at Xavier in the back seat. “Right, Xavier?”
Xavier’s ears had turned completely red, and he replied reluctantly, “Yes!”
Angeline was surprised at how cooperative Xavier was when he was with Sean. She didn’t insist on sending Xavier to the old Lawson

“Alright. Xavier can stay with now. If you’re busy, send him to the old Lawson residence. Mr.Lawson Senior misses him very much too.”
“Okay!” Sean nodded. “Don’t worry. It’s getting late, so rest early! Come back as soon as you’ve settled things in Oceanford! If… I mean if there’s anything you need my help with, you have to tell me!”
“Alright!” Angeline answered with a smile. “It’s almost over.”
Although Angeline had assented, she didn’t need Sean’s help.
She had to avenge Henrietta on her own.
“Okay. Rest early.” Sean hung up and looked at Xavier before saying, “Let’s go.”
The little boy still looked stern, and he answered coolly, “Okay!”
Sean drove back home. When they arrived, he turned and saw Xavier tapping on a laptop with his chubby little fingers. When Xavier saw that the car had stopped, he put his laptop back into his backpack.
“It’s not good for your eyes if you
stare at your laptop in the car.” Sean opened the back door and undid Xavier’s safety belt. He carried him out and held him in one arm while he went to get Xavier’s suitcase from the trunk.
