Love and Fortune A Gamble for Two (Angela and Chester)

Chapter 89

When Chester came home from work, the house was empty with a few plastic containers sitting on the table. "Mom..."

Angelina realized how exhausting it was to care for the baby. After dropping Emily at the airport, barely two hours had passed, and Catherine had cried nonstop. She moved her little arms and legs frantically as if Angelina was a witch, refusing to sleep no matter what. Hence, Angelina cradled the baby and coaxed her over and over again.

It took two hours of coaxing before Catherine finally started showing signs of sleepiness. However, as soon as Chester turned on the light, the baby stirred awake and cried out loudly.

Angelina was dressed in a long-sleeved shirt and pants. When she bent down to check on Catherine, a large part of her neckline was exposed.

Unaware of this, she groggily looked up at him and whispered, "I just got her to sleep."

"Where's Mom?"

"Your dad's on a business trip, so I asked her to go with him."

Upon hearing this, he was stunned and asked, "Why would she go on my dad's business trip?"

"They're husband and wife and should be together all the time. Otherwise, who knows what your father will do out there on his own?"

Chester covered her mouth instantly and asked, "Angelina, what are you trying to say?"

"It's true! I read online that men behave only when they're on a leash."

He was speechless at her words.

"I'm hungry," he said, changing the subject.

"The takeaway just came. Go eat."

With Emily away, Isadora and Chester were left with little options, so they opted for takeaway. However, even that was disastrous. The takeout Angelina ordered turned out to be absolutely terrible. Even she ate it with a furrowed brow. "This place had so many positive reviews. How can it taste this bad?"

"They must've given people cashback for good reviews," Isadora answered before she received a call from Megan. "But it's too late."

"Just come over. The place is amazing."

Megan was inviting her to a spa that she didn't have to pay for, which is a luxury most people couldn't afford.

"Chester, Angelina, I'm going out."

With everything provided at the spa center, the bad takeout suddenly felt like wax in her mouth. Isadora tossed her chopsticks aside and darted for the door.

"Stop right there! What time are you coming home?"

"I probably won't come home tonight. After the spa, I'll stay at the hotel. Megan and Rosalind

will be with me."

"Send me the address."

"But I'm already an adult!"

"Okay. Then don't go out."

"Fine! I'll send it."

Isadora was only permitted to leave the house after sending the address to Chester. She sighed to herself and felt like her life was a tragedy.

With the rest of the family gone, it was just Angelina and Chester left in the house. For the first time, she found the place surprisingly big.

After dinner, Chester took out the trash and even cleaned the litter box for Blanco.

Angelina sat by the bedside and coaxed the baby. Suddenly, he returned and washed his hands quickly. "Go take a shower. I'll coax her." "No. It's okay. I can do it."

"Go shower."

She had no choice but to obediently head to the bathroom.

Catherine, who had been fussy in Angelina's arms, turned into a little angel in Chester's. She didn't cry or fuss. She drank her water and milk when offered. Her tiny lips puckered after finishing her bottle, still making little sucking motions.

Chester gently brushed his face against his daughter's cheek, completely smitten.
