Second Marriage to Mr. Rich Chapter 104
Without waiting for Ned to answer, Ingrid reached out and shook his arm, asking, "Ned, what are you thinking about?"He snapped back to reality. He didn't know how to broach the subject with Ingrid to tell her that "Baby" was actually what Angeline called him in private because he knew that Ingrid always felt insecure around him."Weren't you always complaining about me calling you 'Baby' and treating you like a child?"He smiled and reached out to tousle her hair."Don't you know women always say one thing but mean another?" she said, swatting his hand from her hair. "Only when you call me that, I feel… special to you! Besides, you've been calling me that for so long, yet you suddenly stopped. There must be a reason for it!"Ingrid's eyes were smiling, but her hands had tightened into fists. She feared Ned would tell her it was because he had remembered Angeline and perhaps "Baby" was what he used to call Angeline in private, so he didn't want to use it on her.She was also afra

"There's no problem then," said James while smiling at Angeline. He continued, "Back then, my wife was deprived of opportunities because of pregnancy, so I won't let the same thing happen to you. As long as you feel physically fine, I believe in your abilities. "After all, there are no dangerous experiments at the conference, but… if you find it too challenging halfway through, I don't mind sending you back.""Okay!" she exclaimed, grateful to James. "I won't let you down!""However, let me advise you this as an experienced person, being a single mother isn't easy. Since you're divorced, are you sure you still want to keep this child?" he asked, expressing his concern.Despite knowing that the professor might have also assumed that it was Ned's child, Angeline didn't bother to explain further.She simply said, "My foster mother and sister are both gone, and their deaths were more or less because of me. This time… I don't want to kill any more of my loved ones."James pursed hi

"You're wrong about that. If it weren't for Professor Dickson arguing with those people and building relationships, where would the funding for our laboratory come from?"Reese smiled and ruffled Marion's head, then said to Gregory, "We have a socialite here. Angeline, just go have fun at this conference and leave everything to Gregory!""Don't worry, I'll take good care of Angie!" Gregory assured.At 7:30 pm, it started drizzling in Cloudsville. Wrapped in a woolen coat, Angeline stood on the steps in front of the laboratory building, looking up at the rain.She was about to jog back to the dormitory to get an umbrella when a black sedan stopped in front of the building.Sean, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, got out of the car with an umbrella and walked up the stairs."Let's go," he said.Even standing a step below her with the umbrella in his hand, Sean, with his height of about six feet two inches, was still taller than her.She adjusted the bag on her shoulder and l

"I just… don't want the child to be associated with the Lawsons," Angeline said, tightly grasping the hem of her clothes.When she finally gathered herself, she lifted her head and added, "This child had come unexpectedly. If it hadn't, I might have chosen to live by myself till the end of my life. But now that it's here… It's my only family in this world now!"It's my fault that the child's an illegitimate child, and I'll do my best to make it up in the future! But I can't betray the Lawsons either, because I won't be able to compensate for… what I owe them."Sean met her gaze and took off his glasses before saying, "We can register our marriage in Ravoria. If you don't want to continue our marital relationship after the child is born, we can divorce by then."If the Lawsons find out, I can say that I help you because of them! Angie, I can compromise on anything, but I'll never allow my child to be illegitimate. I hope you can understand and respect that."The child belonged to A

Like a guide, Sean took Angeline's hand and placed it on his shoulder. Just as she was about to withdraw her hand, her lips were pried open by his mouth.Taken aback, she instantly grabbed his broad shoulders, feeling almost paralyzed.He held the back of her head and deepened the kiss, forcefully taking her breath and occupying her mouth. Gradually, he began to kiss her without restraint.Her strength seemed to be taken away by him, her whole body turning soft. She trembled uncontrollably as she tried to clutch onto him. Unable to get a hold of his shoulder, her hand slipped down to his arm instead.The sound of their hastened kisses echoed, making her blush.Suddenly, Sean's phone rang in the quiet and dark living room, interrupting the intimacy in the air. His lips parted from Angeline's, and he breathed heavily. The call had come at the wrong time. He couldn't help but feel annoyed. But if it weren't for the ringing, he might not have been able to control himself from devour

"Even if I were the one who asked the students to bully Henrietta, you can't do anything to me because Ned's going to protect me.""I still have a lot of videos that you haven't seen before. In one of them, the little mute is naked on the floor eating grass like an obedient dog.""Don't worry, when I'm abroad, I'll surely publish these videos so the little mute can become the next famous star."As Angeline read the messages, her hand that was holding the phone trembled uncontrollably. She immediately took a screenshot and sent it to Kevin.She knew that Tommy was prepared this time because the three numbers were from different countries and couldn't be traced. Obviously, he was trying to get on her nerves.As he wished, Angeline couldn't help thinking of the extreme fear and pain that Henrietta must have endured during the abuse in those videos.Two hours later, Kevin called.He said, "Ms. Emmerson, I've contacted the parents of the students at River Town High School and showed

"I understand. I understand! This time, I'll definitely behave and listen to you, Ned!" Tommy raised his hand and swore, "Otherwise, let me rot in jail!"Ned picked up his coat draped over the back of his couch. He was blue in the face as he left."Ned, let me drive you!" said Tommy as he hurried to catch up.…To demonstrate their sincerity in apologizing to Angeline, the parents reserved a private room at the best restaurant in River Town.When Angeline and Kevin arrived, the entire restaurant had been cleared out. Confused, they were led by the restaurant's staff to the entrance of the private room.As the door was pushed open, they were surprised to see Ned seated at the head of the large round table in the room.Several bodyguards stood inside the room, and the parents sat timidly in their seats like quails on their eggs. With fear in their eyes, they glanced at Angeline and quickly lowered their heads, too afraid to speak.While biting an unlit cigarette and playing with

"It's fine. Wait for me outside," Angeline comforted Kevin.After Kevin left, the room door closed again.Angeline turned around and looked at Ned, who was walking toward her. "I didn't expect you to behave like a gangster!""I've always been like this. It's just that I've never shown you this side of me." Ned stood in front of Angeline. He casually pulled over the ashtray on the round table and stubbed out the cigarette in his hand. Angeline's eyes flickered. She looked at him.Ned saw the change in her expression and explained, "That's right. I remember it all. For example, how you called me 'Dear' when we were alone. I also remember the ring that I gave you when we were at the beach, and I remember… that kiss amongst the roses near the wall at the back of the school."Angeline clenched her fist. Her eyes reddened at once. Ned had regained his memories, but her heart had grown even colder. "Those memories are no longer important to you, right?" Angeline looked coldly at Ne

As soon as the words were out of Angeline's mouth, the sound of lounge slippers padding across the floor rang out. Yasmine ignored the shock on Ned's face and turned to reach for Sean. "Hold me, Daddy!"Sean smiled and lifted her into his arms. Then, he stood beside Angeline and looked at Ned imperiously. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Fletcher. I'm Shane Kingston. Thank you for pushing Angie away in the past—it led to my relationship with her."Ned knew precisely who "Shane" was. Just a few days ago, he'd seen the news about Melissa's press conference explaining her relationship with "Shane".His mind buzzed. He knew Sean and Shane looked similar enough for Dexter's men to have gotten the wrong person. However, he hadn't expected "Shane" to have anything to do with Angeline!"You… Are you the kids' father?" Ned's voice was incredibly shaky."Yes, and again, thank you for that!" Sean smiled. "We've never told anyone about this because I didn't want to endanger Angie and the kids.

Sean didn't give Angeline the chance to finish. "You were right to bring this up to me!"He wrapped his arms around her from behind and continued, "You and the kids will always be my main priority. I know I said I want Melissa to remain safe and happy under my watch, but my feelings for her are purely familial love."She's family to me, and I must care for her. But you and the kids mean more to me than anything else in the world, including her."His honesty made Angeline feel slightly more at ease. She said, "Those are your words, not mine…""I swear on my life that I mean every word." He pressed a kiss to her head. "Can I stay here tonight? I want to sleep with you and the kids. Also, I came from Brayden's place upstairs, so no one will know I'm here.""Granddad made it clear that if anyone finds out about this, he won't allow the kids to see you anymore.""Got it. Don't worry about a thing. Mr. Lawson Senior raised me, and I owe him for that. I won't put him in a tough

Angeline nodded without saying anything. Once Nathaniel was gone, she received a call from Sean."Now that everything has been taken care of, I want to give you a gift," he said, the smile in his tone evident. "Can you have the kids spend Friday night at Grand Court Residences? I want to show all three of you my gift on Saturday."He missed Yasmine and Xavier terribly. Before resolving the issue with Melissa, he hadn't dared to say he wanted to see them. Even if Angeline were okay with it, Robert probably would've objected to his wishes. Now that the dust had settled, he couldn't wait to see them."I don't call the shots regarding the kids now. I'll have to ask Granddad," Angeline said."I'll talk to him about it." Sean was worried Robert would take his anger out on her. "This all started because I insisted on being with you, so I'll handle it. I'll visit Mr. Lawson Senior later today."Angeline didn't know how Sean's conversation with Robert went, but Robert had Asher drop

That night, Melissa called Sean. "Shane, let's publicly announce our divorce. We can tell everyone that we only got married on paper so the Lane family could offer you its protection."Tell them that Dexter repeatedly tried to harm you so he could take the Kingston family fortune, and tell them how he tried to snatch you from the Lane family so he could secretly deal with you."She paused, then continued, "Now that Dexter's in prison, we can get a divorce, and Lori can adopt me as her daughter. We'll become cousins, and we'll still be a family.""Melissa…"Sean was surprised. He didn't expect her to see the light in such a short time."Since you don't have any feelings for me and won't ever make me your wife, I'll settle to be Lori's daughter. That way, you'll always be my family!" Tears streamed down Melissa's face as she spoke. "I adore Lori and want to be her daughter.""Alright," Sean said."Can you head to Keman with me, then? We can visit Dad together before getting

Melissa stared at Lori, who chuckled gently. "It's alright. There's no need to rush into anything. Take your time to think about it. Get good rest for a few days, then go shopping with me. We can buy some clothes to keep up with the changing seasons."I heard from Brayden and Sean that you're the expert in fashion and dressing up. I've always wanted a daughter who could shop, exercise, travel, café hop, and go on spa days with me."She paused and continued, "I didn't get to do any of this with you because you weren't in the best state before this. Now, though, you're all better. You're back to normal, and you've regained your memories!""I'd love that!" Melissa said without hesitation. She'd only done these things with her mother and Emelia in her dreams, but that was all they were—dreams. She was delighted now that Lori was back and willing to make her dreams come true.Sean sat on the couch and sipped his coffee. He knew Lori was doing everything she could to make his life ea

Melissa nodded. Sean said, "I know you have no company management experience. Mr. Lane might have entrusted Trustworth Group to me, but it's still yours. Before you find someone to take over, my plan for the company is still to move its focus back to Lonla."The global situation isn't the best now, and Lonla is the safest place for expansion. That's why the company's focus has to return to Lonla—""You can hand the company over to Brayden," Melissa interrupted. "The only people in this world I trust are you, Dad, and Brayden. Now that Dad's in prison and you don't want me anymore, Brayden is all I have left.""I'm still your kin, Melissa. I won't kick you to the curb and leave you to die. Nevertheless, Trustworth Group is yours. You can have whoever you want to manage it. Brayden is capable of that." Sean looked at Brayden. "What do you think? Are you willing to take over Trustworth Group?""I'll do it as long as Melissa is okay with it!" Brayden nodded. He turned to look

"That's not it! I've always been willing to care for you, and I'm more than willing to care for you in the future! It's not something that I'm forced to do…" Brayden feared his words would inadvertently hurt Melissa, so he decided not to continue in that vein.He said, "C'mon, you should head downstairs to eat something. You've already slept the day away.""I don't want to eat!" Melissa lay down again and pulled the sheets around herself. She said dully, "I want to sleep for a bit longer. Shut the door on your way out."Seeing that she'd already shut her eyes and started weeping, Brayden said softly, "I'll have the kitchen keep the food warm for you. Remember to call me when you wake up, okay? I'll be right downstairs!""Okay." Brayden left the room after hearing Melissa's muffled reply. He shut the door behind him.Melissa remained upstairs. She didn't head downstairs, even when Sean returned. Sean had already spoken to Angeline on the phone and told her he wouldn't meet

Melissa slept in her room and only woke up at night. She removed her headphones and opened her red, swollen eyes. She stared dazedly at the night sky, only returning to her senses when her headphones fell out of her hands.Brayden, who'd been waiting outside this whole time, heard them fall to the floor and hurried into the room. He saw Melissa sitting cross-legged on the bed. She propped herself on one arm while leaning down to pick up the headphones.He hurried forward and picked them up for her, then remained on one knee by the bed. He looked up at her and said, "You slept for ages, Melissa. Do you want to have anything to eat? I got all your favorites, and there are different cuisines. I also got your favorite fruits and snacks!"He'd already had the maids throw out the food he'd bought at noon. Then, he'd had his subordinate buy a fresh batch.Melissa turned to look at him dazedly. She said hoarsely, "Brayden…""I'm here," he said. "C'mon, should we get something to eat

Melissa knew Sean well. So, it was impossible for her not to know if he was being serious. Sean was indeed threatening her, and he was using his life to do it. That way, she wouldn't dare to harm Angeline for fear of hurting him.She loved Sean so much that she could give up her life for him. She wondered why he was treating her that way. He knew she wouldn't allow even the slightest possibility of her threatening his safety.Just then, Sean received a call from Brayden. He said, "...Yeah, I've already picked Melissa up. We're heading to Southstream Manor now… Yeah, you can head over there. Buy some food on your way—Melissa probably hasn't eaten anything yet. She should be hungry."At his words, Melissa couldn't hold back her tears any longer. She covered her face and started sobbing. She'd spent her whole life dreaming of becoming Sean's wife, but he was now in love with someone else and no longer wanted her.Yet, she couldn't do anything about the situation, or she'd be hurting
