Chapter 197

Angeline replied to Billy’s message, “You all may follow Lily’s instruction and take good care of Tommy. I hope Tommy can return with satisfaction.” Just then, the doorbell rang as Angeline sent the message. She put down her phone and got to the door.
Sean was waiting at the door with Xavier, who stood silent with a pouty face and arms crossed before a suitcase way taller than him.
Patting Xavier’s head, Sean said, “Xavier missed you, and I’m free for a few days. So here we are!”
Angeline knelt to carry Xavier and reached for the suitcase.
“It’s okay. I got this,” said Sean.
Angeline moved aside to let Sean in. Without noticing Xavier’s weeping red eyes, Angeline asked Sean, “Is everything in Lawson Global settled?”
“Don’t worry. Everything is under control!” said Sean. “I haven’t taken any day off for years. I’ve told Taylor to contact you if there’s any emergency when I’m away.” Sean took off his coat and checked the fridge. “I’ll take Xavier to the supermarket to buy some stuff for dinner tonight. You can get on with what you’re doing.” Although this was the first time Xavier visited Angeline’s house, he was familiar with the environment as if it were his house.
“Did Xavier make any trouble in these two days?” Angeline asked with a smile while patting Xavier on the butt.
“Of course not! Xavier is an independent boy. He can do everything by himself!” Sean said impressively.
For a boy who was barely four years old, Xavier was independent.
Xavier lifted his chin to give a proud look.
Angeline smiled and pinched Xavier’s cheek. “Is it? Our baby is an independent boy!”
The three of them went to the supermarket together. Sean pushed the shopping cart with Xavier sitting inside, and Angeline walked before them while looking at milk.
With one hand holding onto the
el.n
shopping car’s handle, Xavier tried reaching his hand for the strawberry milk on the shelf. But before he could get them, a large hand grabbed two cartons of strawberry milk
е
and put them in the shopping
cart.
Xavier looked up and saw Sean taking a pack of cheese sticks for him. He gave a shy smile with his tiny ears flushed.
After they returned from the grocery shopping, Sean and Angeline made dinner in the kitchen while Xavier sat in the living room, eating snacks and watching television.
Xavier secretly took a photo of Sean and Angeline with his tablet and sent it to Yasmine. Soon, he received a video call from her and went to the room to pick it up.
“Bad Xavier! Why are you with
Mommy and Daddy!” Yasmine said
while pouting in jealousy. But she didn’t forget to ask in concern, “So how is it? Do Mommy and Daddy look like they’re getting back
together?”
“I think our speculation might be wrong,” Xavier said thoughtfully. “Mommy and Sean don’t look like they’ve argued and separated. Mr. Lawson Senior may disagree with them living together. “Try to ask about this, Yasmine. Be careful, and don’t get caught by them!”
“Roger! Leave this to me!” Yasmine made an “okay” sign. “By the way, Xavier, what do you think about Daddy?”
Xavier pressed his lips together without replying. Yasmine giggled and said, “You think Daddy is a great person too, isn’t he? He’s strong, and he tells us bedtime stories.”
“Just be a good girl and spend time with Mr. Lawson Senior and Beautiful Mrs. Lawson. Let me know if there’s any update,” Xavier changed the topic and advised Yasmine.
“Don’t worry, Xavier! Mr. Lawson
Senior is a strong man. I’ll be safe as
long as I’m with him,” assured
Yasmine. It was evident that

Yasmine was doing very welDwith Robert, as she had grown chubbier.
