Following closely behind Sean, Asher stepped forward and announced, "Mr. Lawson Senior, the plane is ready to take off."Robert gave Sean a deep look. "There's also the matter of you marrying her in Ravoria for the sake of the twins she's carrying. Wrap that up cleanly and quickly. "From the public's perception, she is a relative with blood ties to you. What was the meaning behind your marriage? I don't want this to become a scandal for the Lawson family. Both of you... Don't disappoint me."After watching Robert enter the airport, Asher spoke softly, "Mr. Lawson Senior hasn't been completely indifferent to Ms. Angeline over the years. After all, she's part of the family. "In his heart, Ms. Angeline and Benjamin are different. Since Mr. Lawson Senior intends for Ms. Angeline to return to the Lawson family, he will surely look after her well. You needn't worry too much.""Where is Angeline now? Can't you tell me?" Sean asked."That's right. Mr. Lawson Senior knows you've alway
At this moment, Sean struggled with intense emotions surging within him. He felt like his strong desire and longing for Angeline, which he had always suppressed out of fear of frightening her, should have been confessed to her long ago."I admit, when I decided to give up on Ned, I thought of just wrecking everything. So I drank that spiked drink, intending to sleep with someone else as he wished. But... I couldn't go through with it in the end," Angeline chuckled softly. She added, "Because I still had Anne and Henrietta. Anne might not be my biological mother, but she did her best. "She simply didn't know how to get close to me. So, she could only wait cautiously with Henrietta in the distance for me to approach them. That's why Ned was so important to me!"Finally, Sean could hear the emotional turmoil in Angeline's voice."I was wrong! It was my obsession with Ned that led to Anne's death, to Henrietta's death, to... my children's deaths! But... I'm not the only one to blame
Angeline felt incapable of loving someone again. Her heart harbored only deep-seated hatred. "Hatred, huh?"A voice echoed from the doorway.Angeline turned her head. She saw an elderly gentleman standing at the door. He was about Robert's age. His eyes sparkled with kindness. He held a tray with a pot of chamomile tea.She recognized him. He seemed to be the Lawson family's retired butler. She recalled Sean's assistant, Taylor, had mentioned that Paul Danvers, the retired butler, had been managing a farm for Robert on the outskirts of Krontos for many years."What?" Angeline looked at Paul in puzzlement.Paul approached Angeline with a smile. He placed the small table by her bed and set the teapot before her."I mean, Ms. Emmerson, you must hold onto that hatred in your heart. It will give you the strength to face challenges head-on! Constantly yielding and running away from trouble isn't the Lawson way. "We believe in repaying our debts, whether in kindness or vengeance.
Sean's gaze was narrow and deep. He showed no emotion. "Are you threatening me?""Not at all. Regardless of your willingness to cooperate with me, I won't reveal this matter to anyone. You can trust me on this," Monica assured.…Meanwhile, Ned was clad in a sterile suit. He held Ingrid's hand tightly. His red eyes were filled with emotion, conveying his pain as he whispered, "The children are gone! Ingrid, please wake up. I made just one mistake. Don't torture me like this! Once you wake up, we'll get married right away. I've remembered some things, but... it's always been you I love the most! Please..."Ingrid's fingers twitched slightly. Ned abruptly stood up and called, "Ingrid! Ingrid!"Her eyelashes fluttered. Ingrid slowly opened her eyes after a long while. She murmured something, but the oxygen mask muffled her words.Ned let go of Ingrid's hand. He turned and shouted, "Doctor! Doctor! She's awake!"Ingrid struggled to grasp Ned's hand from the hospital bed. T
"Her figure clearly shows years of fitness!" fans of Ingrid, who came to pick her up, remarked. They couldn't resist pulling out their phones to snap photos of Angeline and her daughter.Ned's feet seemed glued to the spot. He watched until the black figure almost vanished from sight. Then he snapped back to reality. He pushed through the crowd before him and hurried after her.Once out of the elevator, Angeline's phone wouldn't stop ringing.Angeline and Yasmine Emmerson entered a coffee shop. They ordered hot milk and cake. Then she removed her mask."Yasmine, sit here for a bit. Mommy needs to take a call," she said."Okay!" Yasmine grasped the milk cup with both hands. She took a few sips, leaving a milk mustache on her lips.Angeline pulled out a tissue. She wiped Yasmine's mouth while listening to the anxious ramblings on the phone."Vitality Biotech Group's founder must attend the hearing in Marvonia. Otherwise, they'll take action against all our projects. They said
"Whose child is this?" Taylor and the other executives from Lawson Global looked around. They didn't see any parent in pursuit.Sean spoke on the phone, "If I can't make it back for this afternoon's press conference, have Vice President Mr. Wagler step in. The press release should go out without a single change." After speaking, Sean ended the call and picked up the little girl hanging from his leg. Despite her small size, she felt surprisingly heavy in his arms."Are you lost, kid? Where are your parents?" Sean asked."My mommy went to the restroom! I spotted Daddy at first glance! Daddy... am I smart? Mommy didn't want me to come back with her... I only tagged along and threw a tantrum to return to find Daddy!" Yasmine hugged Sean's neck tightly, continuing, "Mommy said I don't have a daddy, but she's lying. I'm not an orphan..."Yasmine's speech was scattered at three or four years old. She jumped from one topic to another without much focus. Although she didn't convey muc
"Let the driver go, too. Wait for my call," Sean instructed Taylor.He naturally took the suitcase from Angeline. He held the child in one arm and the luggage in the other. He said to Angeline, "Lead the way!"Yasmine looked at Angeline's face cautiously. Her little hand clutched Sean's coat tightly from behind.Angeline had no choice but to follow Sean to the parking lot.Both Angeline and Sean were striking in appearance. Carrying the adorable child only added to their charm. In his suit, Sean exuded an authoritative presence while still showing a down-to-earth side by handling the luggage and child. Together, the three attracted many glances from passers-by.As Sean and Angeline walked away with the child, the Lawson Global executives bombarded Taylor with questions."What's going on? Doesn't Mr. Lawson have an engagement with the Scott family? Why is the child already this grown?""Yeah, I never heard about Mr. Lawson getting married! Who is that stunning woman?""What a
Ned was afraid. He was afraid of recalling the past Angeline that was often mentioned in front of him. He was hesitant to learn he had once loved Angeline so profoundly that he would have given up his life for her. He wondered what all his actions after Angeline woke up would have amounted to.In the airport parking lot, Angeline took the car keys from the driver. By then, Sean had already placed Yasmine in the safety seat and fastened her seatbelt.Yasmine blinked her big eyes with long eyelashes at Sean. She asked quietly, "Daddy, why does Mommy want me to call you Mr. Lawson? Did you make Mommy angry? Mommy is easy to appease. My brother taught me when I make Mommy angry, I should do this..."Yasmine took Sean's index and little finger. She placed her chubby, fair little face against them."Just rub like this, and Mommy won't be angry anymore," Yasmine instructed Sean softly.Sean's eyes turned red as he looked at the gentle and soft Yasmine before him. He controlled his emot
