Chapter 36
Angela was spaced out when she heard the doorbell ring downstairs. She had no idea who would show up at this hour.
Could it be Ebiet She always called before dropping by, Angela thought she should take a look at her phone Girst, but where was her phone!
Angela couldn’t recall seeing it at the hospital. Then her phone must have been left in the office.
She had to go there later today anyway. How would she cope without her phone! Her two little ones wouldn’t be able to reach her.
As she got to the door, Angela saw Chase on the electronic lock screen. She opened the door, forgetting that she was still in her pajamas.
Chase glanced at the woman in front of him.
Herbl
blonde hair fell loosely over her V–neck sleepwear, revealing a glimpse of her slender collarbone, beautiful neck, and seductive cleavage.
Chase swallowed hard as he tried to rein in his feelings. He was, after all, only human.
Quickly snapping out of it, he handed Angela her bag and phone.
Angela thought Chase was so considerate.
He was handsome, fit, and a member of the Louise family. Any girl would be drawn to him.
Before she could thank Chase, he showed her a photo on his phone.
“Carmine! How did you get a photo of Carmine?”
Angela asked in shock
ame to
“He came to Gem looking for you. I got him a room at a hotel, Chase answered.
He added. “You should charge your phone. He’s been calling you nonstop,”
Angela hurriedly charged her phone and turned it on..
Countless messages and missed calls flooded her phone, including one from Mr. Litt.
She apologized to Chase and said, “Mr. Lou… Chase, sorry, I need to make some calls.”
Chase smiled and nodded. “Sure. No rush. I’ll come to pick you up later today to see your friend.”
As Chase left, Angela immediately called back Mr. Lit. “Mr. Liu, I’m sorry. My phone died. Carmine is in Tervais.”
August finally relaxed a bit
“Angie, we will come to Tervais in about a week. In the meantime, please take care of Carmine”
August still felt uneasy about Carmine. But he knew that Carmine was important for the auction house’s expansion in Darsonas, so he decided to let Carmine stay in Tervais for the time being.
“Mr. Liu, Carmine is my little brother. Don’t worry, I’ll handle him.”
Angela knew that her success abroad was not only due to her own hard work but also thanks to
to August’s help,
He was the only friend of her mother that she knew of, and he used his influence as the CEO of the ME company to help her find mentors and start her own business.
She owed it all to Mr. Litt.
After talking to Mr. Lin, Angela quickly called Carmine.
“Hello, Carmine,” she said.
But before she could go on, Carmine cut her off, sounding injured. “Angela, where are you? I can’t find you!”
“Don’t worry, Carmine, just stay at the hotel for now. I’ll come get you this afternoon, okay?” Angela soothed him like a child.

identifying gems that he didn’t have much social interaction and suffered from social anxiety.
Carmine kept nodding on the other end of the phone, forgetting that Angela couldn’t see him
Chapter 36
After calming Carmine down, Angela called Chase and got the hotel and room number where Carmine was staying. She then made herself lunch
She was aware that her body had no issues, so her collapsing last night was mainly caused by mental factors.
Angela was feeling lazy today and didn’t have the energy to cook anything elaborate for lunch.
She looked at the ingredients in the fridge – bread, eggs, cheese, and bacon.
She decided to just make a quick sandwich and have some milk for the midday meal.
She would treat Carmine to a nice dinner later.
As Angela was biting into her sandwich, she heard the doorbell ring.
It was Chase.
“What are you doing here?” Angela asked in surprise, checking her watch.
Chase put the food container he brought on the table and looked at the sandwich and milk on the table.
He lifted the lid of the food container and uttered, “I got your call and figured you must be in a rush to go see Carmine. So I brought you lunch”
He sat down and gestured for Angela to eat.
“Do I have to take care of you even at your home? Sit down and eat. You should take better care of yourself, especially since you’re not feeling well.”
Angela obediently sat down, but her mind was still racing
Chase looked at her cute, blank expression and felt the urge to kiss her and hold her in his arms.
How could Angela be both innocent and sexy?
Chase averted his eyes and looked at the food on the table, swallowing his saliva.
“Eat up. I haven’t had lunch either. After we finish, I’ll take you to see Carmine.”
Angela finally snapped out of it. picked up her fork, and started to eat.
“I don’t know what you like, so I just got something I like.” Chase said.
Watching the graceful and refined way Chase ate, was a feast for the eyes.
Angela finally felt a little embarrassed about her eating habits. After living overseas for years, she had adapted to a fast–paced lifestyle, which included wolfing down her food.
She set down her fork and said with a shy smile, “I’m not fussy.”
After saying that, she continued to eat, but her speed had clearly slowed down
Chase watched her with amusement, teasing her, “So well–behaved, no wonder you’re the woman I, Chase, fancy!”
Angela lifted her attractive eyes in defiance, “I can be fierce tool
Seeing her like this, Chase couldn’t help but laugh, “Yes, you can be fierce, but you’re still adorable.
HP Mong urge to caress her rosy cheeks.
Angela rolled her eyes at Chase, saying indignantly, “Only kids are cute when they act fierce.
Chase looked at her cute expression and couldn’t resist, reaching out to pinch her soft cheek. “In my eyes, you’re still a little girl.
Angela slapped his hand away, annoyed, “Let’s eat!”
Chase pulled back his hand, lightly rubbing his index finger against his thumb.
The skin of this little girl was so
was so silky, h he had never felt anything like it before
He needed to be patient, one day he would have her and make her his pawn!
After they finished eating, they headed towards the hotel. It wasn’t until they got out of the car that Angela realized Chase had also packed lunch for
Carmine
This man was an theoghtful and caring, it really touched her heart.
Chapter 6
Carmine saw his beloved sister Angela and gave her a big hug
Angela quickly gestured to Clase to give Carmine the bag, so she could finally breathe.
Carmine had already grown to trust Chase.
Carmine let go of Angela and took out the burger and cola from the bag, taking a hate and then happily saying to Angela. “Angela, this coolTM
| so smoothly!
He talked so si
Chase was a bit curious. Wasn’t Carmine a little tongue–tied?
Angela chuckled. “He talks very smoothly. Only when he’s too nervous dors he shutter
Carmine nodded repeatedly. He showed that he wanted to take back his previous praise for Chase.
Imph, even though Chase said it politely, Carmine wasn’t dumb. He was basically calling himself a line stammerer. Hmph, Carmine muttered imself that Chase was the one who stuttered, his whole family stuttered!
-amn it!
