The living room light was dazzling. Yasmine squinted and reached out to Angeline, asking to be held.

Angeline snapped back to reality as she broke free from Sean's grasp. She quickly went to Yasmine, crouched down, and took her into her arms.

"You're awake. Are you hungry?"

Sean followed, caressing Yasmine's head and placing his hand on Angeline's shoulder.

"What would Yasmine like to eat?"

"Daddy!"

Yasmine squirmed. She reached out to Sean with bright and hopeful eyes.

"Hold me!"

Sean took Yasmine from Angeline. Yasmine wrapped her arms around his neck, showing no signs of letting go. He gently patted her back and carried her to the kitchen.

"How about some milk first?"

"Yes!" Yasmine crisply replied.

Sean was still in his formal attire when he held the delicate Yasmine with one arm and expertly warmed the milk. The contrast was striking, yet the scene was heartwarming. Angeline stood at the edge of the kitchen. Her eyes welled up. She wondered how Yasmine knew Sean was her father and whether it was because of their blood relation. Once the milk was warm, Sean poured it into a large cup and returned to the living room.

"Daddy is the best!" Yasmine praised generously, giving two thumbs up.

She then started massaging Sean's shoulders.

"For Daddy!"

Yasmine's personality was unlike both Angeline's and Sean's. She was like a sweet, soft sunbeam easily endearing herself to everyone.

Sean was reluctant to put her down. He let Yasmine sit on his lap and drink her milk.

"Isn't Lawson Global having a press conference today? I can take care of Yasmine. You can go if you're busy," Angeline suggested.

"I'm not busy. I'll spend the day with you and Yasmine," Sean replied as he watched the little one nearly bury her face in the cup of milk.

Yasmine drank heartily, showing none of the pickiness often seen in children. She seemed easy to care for.

"Keep Yasmine entertained. I'll check the fridge and cook something for us to eat together," Angeline offered.

"I'll do it!" Sean said with a smile.

At the sight of Yasmine clinging to Sean, Angeline suggested, "You should keep Yasmine company."

She washed her hands and headed to the kitchen. Having finished her milk, Yasmine put down the cup and licked the milk mustache from her lips. She pulled Sean toward the luggage and was eager to unpack them with Sean.

Sean knelt and opened the luggage while Yasmine sat beside him. She rummaged through, found a photo of her, her brother, and Angeline, and handed it to Sean.

She pointed to the little boy in the photo with a fair, tender face and said, "That's my brother!"

The boy in the photo resembled Yasmine. His eyes mirrored both Sean's and Angeline's. His fluffy, curled lashes and bright pupils made him look like a carved jade figurine. Unlike Yasmine's carefree smile, his gaze was calm. It could be assumed that he had a spirited nature.

The photo was taken in the afternoon. Angeline sat cross-legged on the lush lawn, holding a child on each side. The warm glow of the setting sun outlined their delicate features. That made even the fuzz on their faces visible.
