Wrong Ride, Right Lover novel Chapter 123

Angel lifted her doll-like pretty face.

"I will follow Mommy around fetching customers." She answered.

All this while, she never had the chance to take her own sweet time to enjoy her meals as her mother would always have to rush to get her cab to work. Any delaying would result in her getting an earful of scolding.

Henry continued, "Then how about after work? Did you have any bedtime story sessions?"

Henry spoke in a tone that any father that loved his daughter would usually have and not of a chairman's.

Angel thought for a moment and replied, "Sometimes."

Monique was stunned at Angel’s reply.

It was usually past midnight when she was done with her work, occasionally she would work till 2 am when times were busy and she was so fatigued that she would just go to bed immediately. She had no recollection of ever telling bedtime stories to Angel.

Suddenly, Monique recalled telling Angel a bedtime story which was quite some time ago when she took leave to stay beside Angel who was ill, and the second time was during the night when they moved here to Henry's place. Angel remembered both of them vividly.

"Daddy, later tell me a bedtime story before sleeping, alright?" Angel’s bushy eyelashes were flickering, like a small bunny blinking it's teary big black eyes as she stared at Henry.

"Sure." Seeing Angel having that look of anticipation, Henry nodded as he promised.

This left Monique frozen, she could not believe Henry would easily agree to it.

Monique's eyes were sparkling with gratitude. After all, Henry was an honorable chairman with high status.

Henry looked up and took a glance at Monique.

He was expecting Monique to give him some encouragement since it was his first time reading a picture book to a kid.

Monique quickly ceased her laughter and marched towards them, feeling embarrassing.

It might be Monique's misperception but somehow through Henry's cold stare, she felt as though Henry was asking for help.

"Let me take over from here." Monique let out a gentle smile, dimples forming at both her cheek, making her look so stunning and alluring.

She seized the picture book from Henry with her long, fair-colored arm. A wave of electrical shock was felt when their hands came into contact as the picture book was being passed on.
