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
Unsure if it was because of the fever, Sean couldn't control himself. His kiss was extremely assertive and aggressive. It was unlike before when he would kiss Angeline in different ways until she couldn't resist anymore and went weak before he became more aggressive. This time, his kiss was direct and aggressive. He was sucking all the air from her, almost causing her to suffocate and faint. Angeline had never experienced such an intense kiss since the last time she and Sean had separated. Amidst the chaotic breathing, Angeline raised her head to accept Sean's kiss. She no longer had the strength to handle his advances. She unconsciously sank her nails into her back. Angeline woke up the next day from shortness of breath. Sean, who was lying down and facing her, was slowly pecking on her lips while pinching her chin. Noticing that Angeline was awake, he slipped his tongue into her mouth without hesitation as he wrapped his sturdy arm around her waist and pulled her tightly in
Sean walked to Angeline's side and pulled a chair before sitting down. Before he could say anything, Angeline asked, "Is everything over?" Sean nodded. "It's over. I can return to you and the kids without worries." "How about Melissa?" Angeline ate quietly with lowered eyes. "What's your plan for her?" Sean pulled Angeline's chair toward him, facing him. "Mr. Lane was sent to jail for the crimes he committed, according to the idea of your friend, Thomas. But Melissa needs someone to look after her." "Uh-huh, so?" Angeline asked. "Wayne was arrested in Menko already, and I've invited my aunt, Lori, back to Lonla," Sean said. "She doesn't want to stay in Keman and wishes to return here because she thinks Keman is dangerous."So, I returned this time with Aunt Lori and Melissa. Aunt Lori is staying at the manor my parents left me with at Oceanford. Melissa is there, too." Sean caressed Angeline's hair. "You know I've always treated Melissa like my younger sister. I can't just
"Anyway, I'll find a way, so you don't need to worry."Sean didn't want to put Angeline in a difficult position."I'll persuade Mr. Lawson Senior. What I mean is… I'll divorce Melissa soon. Of course, we'll find an appropriate time to announce it publicly. Then, after things calm down for a while, we can be together again. We can keep a low profile until we get discovered. What do you think?""You handle things with Melissa first. Even if we have to remain in a secret marriage for the rest of our lives, I wouldn't mind. After all, life is for us to live, and everything else is just for others to see."Angeline wasn't just pretending to be magnanimous.When he had his car accident, she had persuaded him to take that opportunity to return as Shane, and she had already prepared herself for this outcome.He squeezed her hand and kissed it. Although he didn't say anything, he felt that the luckiest thing in his life was winning her love."But regarding Tom, I want you to be honest wi
Angeline nodded and then spoke about her situation with Nathaniel."Nathaniel and I were only pretending to be engaged. We each had our own reasons. Hence, it doesn't matter if we never get married. Or… when he finds someone he wants to marry, we can find an appropriate way to announce the cancellation of our engagement."Just as she finished speaking, the doorbell rang.She glanced at Sean and said, "I'll get the door. You go hide in the bedroom."He didn't make things difficult at that moment. He stood just outside the dining room and watched as she checked the surveillance monitor and mouthed the question of who it was.She pointed downstairs and whispered, "It's Nathaniel."After he went into the bedroom, she opened the door. Nathaniel, like he was very familiar with the place, walked in and started changing his shoes.He asked, "What's going on? I heard you were sick and didn't go to work today?""I'm feeling a bit unwell," she answered, instinctively glancing toward the b
