Angeline stared at Sean and said, "I don't think a meet-up is a great idea. But I can ask him if he's willing to have a phone call with you. And I'll be present during the whole call. "I just wish Mr. Kingston wouldn't use me or anything to do with me as a bargaining chip unless you want to be enemies with me." Sean understood what Angeline meant. Sean used his identity as Shane to discuss this matter with Angeline because he didn't want to be on the opposite end with her. Perhaps Sean might just be fooling himself with this method, but deep down, he really didn't want to be at odds with Angeline. "Of course, I don't want to be at odds with Ms. Lawson because of this matter. I'm sure you can see my sincerity through my visit this time." Sean's features appeared very gentle under the warm lights of the restaurant. He continued with a calm tone, "Do you mind contacting your friend now, Ms. Lawson? I'll be eternally grateful!" Nathaniel turned to look at Angeline, hesitating i
Without waiting for Thomas' reply, Sean continued, "I'm sorry that Melissa forcefully took your sister's heart. It's only right that you seek revenge for your sister. I believe any brother would do the same…""Enough of this pompous talk. I want to speak with you alone," Thomas said. Angeline creased her forehead. "Tom…" "I want to speak with him alone." Thomas insisted. Sean looked up at Angeline with a deep gaze and replied, "Sure!" After giving Thomas his contact information, Sean hung up his phone and told Angeline and Nathaniel, "Sorry. I'll be right back." "Mr. Kingston," Angeline called. Sean stopped as he was opening the door and turned to Angeline. Angeline turned to Sean, and their eyes met. She said with a stern look, "You'd better not try to threaten Thomas with dirty tactics. The scale of Kingston Empire, even together with Trustworth Group, is no match for Lawson Global and Vitality Biotech Group. "Thomas isn't just my friend. He also saved my son's life.
Angeline held the glass before her and gazed at Nathaniel. "No. I just don't want to lie to you." Nathaniel rubbed his chin. "If you don't want to lie to me, tell me. Am I one step closer to being your friend?" Angeline smiled and said nothing. Angeline kept looking at the door, her mind occupied by the phone call between Sean and Thomas.After 20 minutes, Sean returned to the private room. The food had already been served. Angeline looked at Sean as he sat opposite them and said, "I've reached an agreement with Thomas. Ms. Lawson, let's put an end to this matter. Thank you for helping me contact Thomas." Angeline nodded. "Of course, I have no issue if you two could come to an agreement. Since this is settled, you guys may continue with the dinner. I'll be leaving now." "I'll see you off!" Nathaniel stood up. "It's okay. I have to check on Thomas on my way back." Angeline glanced at Sean before leaving. Angeline called Thomas when she entered the car. "What did you dis
Although Thomas once agreed to Angeline that as long as she could help him get revenge through legal means and have Brian and Melissa paid for the sins they'd committed, he wouldn't take revenge by risking his life. Thomas was aware of Angeline's unwavering support and contributions over the years. She had even sacrificed her own marriage to save him. Hence, Thomas couldn't drag Angeline into this matter anymore. He already had his own plan. As long as Sean didn't interfere and Brian could be imprisoned, he had thousands of ways to make Brian die in prison. But right now, Thomas didn't want and couldn't drag Angeline down any further. Thomas could pretend to agree, then work hard at rehabilitation training. Once he had recovered enough to even half his former self, he could go to Keman alone and kill Brian again. After a long pause, Angeline let out a long sigh. "So, Shane didn't threaten you?" She recalled Eric's phone call earlier before she called Thomas. "He didn't.
Angeline frowned and said, "I'm sure Shane had looked into Thomas and Tina's past. Some of Melissa's habits after she got the heart transplant that he told Thomas were the same as Tina's. "I'm not sure if they're true, but Thomas relented after hearing that." "To tell the truth," Eric said. "As long as Thomas can give up seeking revenge, we don't have to hold on to it either." "Yeah." Angeline nodded in agreement. "Thomas isn't stupid. I'm sure he knows that Shane has looked into them and deliberately made Melissa resemble Tina to make him relent. "But he mentioned that the heart in Melissa's body was the last proof of Tina's existence in this world. Thomas was touched by this the most."Eric went silent upon hearing this. Feeling weary, Angeline pinched the bridge of her nose. "I'm worried that Thomas hasn't given up on his vengeance. He might have other plans because he's worried about dragging us down.""I'll have Danny and Heather watch Thomas closely. Who knows if Thom
Angeline was afraid to push Sean away, so she leaned back to grab Sean's arms, trying to pry him away from her. However, Sean wrapped his arms even tighter. His breathing quickened due to the high fever. "Don't leave!" "I'm not leaving! I'm just going to get the thermometer." Like comforting a child, Angeline patted Sean's head. "Your temperature is too high! You're sick, Sean. You have to take medicines if your temperature is above 100 Fahrenheit. Be good, Sean!" Sean was sick. They hadn't met each other for almost a year. He couldn't see or hear Angeline. He missed her so much that he was almost going crazy. No one knew how overwhelmed Sean felt when he saw Angeline. If Nathaniel hadn't been there, he might've lost his mind and kissed her so intensely until she got suffocated. "Just let me be. I miss you! I miss you so much…" Sean mumbled as he hugged Angeline even tighter, parting Angeline's legs with his knees while pulling her to straddle him. He sank his head into Ang
Angeline paused while taking off Sean's shirt. Tears started flooding her eyes. She looked at Sean's features, which looked more defined than before. She thought his facial features looked more well-defined back in the restaurant. But under the warm bedroom lights now, he looked significantly thinner to the point that his bones were visible. Angeline noticed another scar on Sean's back while taking off his shirt to change into the pajamas. She pressed her lips and helped him change into pajamas made of thin material before sticking fever-cooling patches on his forehead and neck. "Angie…"Hearing Sean's mumble, Angeline lay beside him and caressed his cheek. She faced him and replied, "I'm here." Sean grabbed Angeline's cold fingers with his big hand, then subconsciously nuzzled his cheek into her palm. He seemed to be feeling the cooling and comfortable temperature of Angeline's body.Sean let out a comfortable sigh while subconsciously moving closer to Angeline. Angeline h
Angeline's mind was in turmoil after Sean's refrained nibble. "Sean…" Angeline's voice trembled. She wanted to pull her hand back, but Sean's veiny hand grabbed her thin wrist before he kissed her palm up to her wrist. It felt so hot that Angeline kept retracting her hand. As he grabbed her wrist tightly, Sean said with a hoarse voice, "Turned around. I'm scared I can't control myself…" Sean was scared he couldn't control himself from kissing Angeline and devouring her. Before he could finish, Angeline kissed Sean. Her lips met with Sean's boiling lips. After a brief dabble, Angeline whispered, "I'll call Brayden to have him bring you to the hospital…"Angeline felt a tight clench on her wrist. "Sean!" Angeline stifled a gasp as she was turned and pressed below Sean. "I told you I might lose control…" Angeline pressed her hands against Sean's chest, feeling his heart palpitating hard through his thin pajamas. Her eyelashes fluttered as she saw Sean leaning in closer. A
