Second Marriage to Mr. Rich (Ned Fletcher) novel Chapter 140

"Whose child is this?"

Taylor and the other executives from Lawson Global looked around. They didn't see any parent in pursuit.

Sean spoke on the phone, "If I can't make it back for this afternoon's press conference, have Vice President Mr. Wagler step in. The press release should go out without a single change."

After speaking, Sean ended the call and picked up the little girl hanging from his leg. Despite her small size, she felt surprisingly heavy in his arms.

"Are you lost, kid? Where are your parents?" Sean asked.

"My mommy went to the restroom! I spotted Daddy at first glance! Daddy... am I smart? Mommy didn't want me to come back with her... I only tagged along and threw a tantrum to return to find Daddy!"

Yasmine hugged Sean's neck tightly, continuing, "Mommy said I don't have a daddy, but she's lying. I'm not an orphan..."

Yasmine's speech was scattered at three or four years old. She jumped from one topic to another without much focus. Although she didn't convey much information, Sean could tell she had never met her father.

"Yasmine!"

Angeline's voice called out. Still clinging to Sean's neck, Yasmine turned her head and waved.

"Mommy!"

Their eyes met.

Sean was stunned, and so was Angeline.

Four years had passed. She felt that Sean seemed unchanged yet profoundly different. His cheeks were more gaunt, his features sharper, and he exuded a more intense presence than before.

"Ms. Angeline?"

Taylor glanced at Angeline, who was catching her breath from the chase. Then, she glanced at the beaming Yasmine in Sean's arms. She widened her eyes in surprise.

Before returning to the country, Angeline had thought about meeting Sean. But she hadn't expected it to happen so soon, nor in this manner.

Angeline hadn't forgotten their last phone call four years ago when Sean confessed his feelings. Nor had she forgotten Robert's wish for Sean to marry into the Scott family.
