LittleNovelChapter 161-1 Chapter 161: He Can Sing Disney Songs?-1 Angela POV I stepped out of Christopher's luxury apartment building, Aria nestled securely in my arms. Despite her small size, she felt heavier than usual-or perhaps it was the weight of my conflicting emotions that made my steps slower.
Sean walked beside me, carrying Ethan with surprising gentleness.
"Thank you for helpingfind the children," I said, breaking the tense silence. "But we can manage from here." Sean raised an eyebrow. "This late? How do you plan to get home?" "I'll call an Uber," I replied firmly. "You can put Ethan down. We'll be fine on our own." With visible reluctance, Sean lowered Ethan to the ground. The boy immediately stepped closer to me, his small hand finding mine. Yet I couldn't miss how his eyes lingered on Sean's face, studying him with that intense, calculating gaze so unusual for a child his age.
"Mama, why did we leave Christopher uncle's house?" Aria mumbled sleepily against my shoulder.

"Angela," Sean called afteras I began walking away. "Don't be stubborn. It's too late. Letdrive you home." I pretended not to hear, guiding the children toward the street corner to hail a taxi.

I tightened my grip on Aria and pulled Ethan closer to my side. Not wanting to appear callous in front of my children, I reached into my purse and extracted a hundred- dollar bill.
"Here, I offered, extending the money.
His bloodshot eyes caught sight of the other bills in my wallet, and his expression shifted from desperate to predatory. "That's not enough. Giveeverything you've got." My heart hammered against my ribs. "No, I can't. We need money to get home." "I'm not asking twice," he growled, stepping closer.
I pushed both children behind me, my hands trembling as I prepared to surrender my wallet. Their safety was all that mattered.
"Stay away from her." Sean's voice cut through the tension like a blade. In one fluid motion, he grabbed the man's wrist and shoved him backward with enough force to make him stumble.
The man regained his balance and lunged forward, but Sean was faster. His fist connected with the man's jaw in a sickening crack that sent him sprawling onto the pavement.
"Leave," Sean commanded, his voice dangerously calm. "Now." The man scrambled to his feet and disappeared into the darkness, casting one final glare over his shoulder.

I quickly covered the children's eyes, not wanting them to witness such violence. But when removed my hands; I was stunned to see excitement rather than fear on their faces.
Ethan's eyes were wide with undisguised admiration as he stared up at Sean Axia clapped her tiny pat hands in delight. "Mr. Night is like a knight from cartoons, rescuing the princess!" she exclaimed.
2/3 Chapter 161 He Can Sing Disney Songs?-1 I felt a chill run through me. How could they find such violence exciting? Seam approached us, straightening his jacket. "Now do you understand why I didn't want you leaving alone?" "It was just an unfortunate incident," I replied, my voice still unsteady.
"In this city, with two children, you never know what might happen." His tone softened slightly. "Please, letEn. drive you home." Chapter Comments
