Angeline's ears turned red at Sean's suggestive tone. "Okay."Perhaps it was because they'd just made things official between them, but they were both in high spirits when Sean sent Angeline home.Sean held Angeline's hand tightly as he drove. His hand wrapped around her nape when the traffic light turned red to pull her in for a passionate kiss.It wasn't until the navigation device reminded him that the light had turned green again that he released Angeline, who was out of breath. At the sight of her panting for air, Sean grabbed her hand and brought it to his lips, planting a light kiss on it. Her lips were crimson red when they arrived at Angeline's house. The bodyguard trailing after them in another car quickly got out and opened the door for her. Angeline unfastened the seat belt and reminded Sean, "Don't forget to have lunch. Should I wait for you for dinner?""I'll give you a call before five." Sean's gaze was fixed on Angeline as though he couldn't bear to tear h
"Mr. Powell is a busy man. Besides, we shouldn't ask for his help on such a frivolous matter," replied the bodyguard.Nodding, Angeline smiled at him. "Just knock on my door if you need anything. I'll attend to it.""Sure. Thanks, Ms. Emmerson."Angeline shuffled back to the couch in her slippers. Suddenly, her phone screen lit up from an incoming call. Picking up her phone, she saw a call from Lenny.She answered, "Hello—""Hi, is this Ms. Emmerson? I'm sorry. This is Lenny's girlfriend. Um… When I was having lunch with Lenny, a certain Mr. Fletcher appeared out of nowhere and got into a fight with him."Mr. Fletcher seemed to have misunderstood your relationship with Lenny, and he threatened to send Lenny to jail. I… I have no idea what to do. Since Mr. Fletcher knows you, I wonder if you could explain the situation to him."Angeline was taken aback and wondered, "Mr. Fletcher? Ned Fletcher?""Is his full name Ned Fletcher?" she questioned.Celia Wallace immediately confirme
Angeline didn't change much from his memory of her. However, something had certainly shifted. She appeared more… ladylike."It's Ms. Angeline." Trevor looked at Ned, who was frozen on the spot. "Mr. Fletcher?"Trevor was aware that Ned had regained his memories. Trevor, as the Chief Legal Officer of Fletcher Corporation, didn't dig into the details of the deep love between Ned and Angeline from their past, but he had heard about how Ned had forced Angeline to register their marriage on his birthday, and how she had risked her life to save him in a car accident.He could imagine the depths of their affection. Moreover, as soon as Ned had regained his memories, he called off his engagement to his beloved Ingrid, which went to show his affection toward Angeline in the past.Lenny exited the police station after Trevor and Ned, clutching a jacket in his hand. When he saw Celia with Angeline, he immediately knew that Celia must have called the latter for help.The two women seemed to h
With that, Brayden rolled up the car window and addressed his subordinate, who was seated in the front passenger seat, "Fine, then! Transfer the payment to Celia Wallace. We'll have to thank her for getting Ms. Emmerson out here."Once Angeline watched Celia and Lenny get into the cab, she turned to Ned with a hand in her pocket. She adjusted the strap of her crossbody before approaching him.Before leaving the scene, Brayden cast another glance in Angeline's direction. He saw her walking up to Ned.He quickly called out to his driver, "Hey, stop."Ned's breathing quickened when she approached him. Without thinking, he rushed down the stairs, barrelling toward her without hesitation. However, when he was steps away from her, he realized that he had a cigarette between his lips. He hurriedly stamped out the cigarette with his shoe. When he looked up again, she was already standing in front of him.Staring squarely at her, he breathed heavily, looking like a clueless child. His be
Ned knew that he could never make it up to Angeline, even if he begged for her forgiveness.He was at a loss for what to do to ensure Angeline's happiness.He finally gathered the courage to turn around and look at her when he overheard her walking away."An—" His voice was fraught with emotions to the point he couldn't speak. When Angeline went over to her bodyguard, Ned finally had his emotions in control and called out loudly, "Angie, what can I do so you won't hate me?"He sounded like he was about to cry.Angeline paused when she opened the car door. She calmly turned around to look at him. "Never show up in my life again."He froze at the heartlessness in her tone. His world seemed to have crumbled in that moment. After Angeline entered the car, he couldn't stop himself from running after her.She closed the car door and said to the bodyguard, "Let's go."The car slowly moved. Seeing that, Ned rushed to the door and slapped on the window as he cried and wailed, "Angie, do
Ned was at a loss. Angeline had once asked him if he'd regret the past if he regained his memories. He knew now that he was beyond remorseful. He felt like dying. Angeline had been with him throughout his teenage years and meant the world to him.Alas, he had ruined his life."I should've been the one who fell into a coma from the car accident. Why wasn't I the one? How could I…" Ned suffered from a breakdown. He clutched at his hair. "How could I forget about Angie? How could I treat her so badly?"This was Trevor's first time seeing Ned in such a state. He forcefully pinned Ned down on the shoulders and picked up Ned's broken phone from the ground.Then, he mustered his energy to move Ned away from the road to his car. "Won't you look at yourself? Pull yourself together if you want to get Ms. Emmerson back. Looking at you now, no sane woman would want to be with you."Trevor opened the car door and shoved Ned into the backseat. He was about to drive the car away when he spotte
"Did Yasmine and Xavier complain to you?" Sean laughed. "Don't worry. I know about it. Mr. Lawson Senior did have some instructions, but we're done. I've left the old Lawson residence."Angeline realized that at some point, Sean had stopped calling Robert his father. "Oh, alright…" she answered. Then she said, "Rest earlier tonight. I'm going into the elevator now."The bodyguard safely delivered Angeline to her front door. Then she said, "I won't go out again. You can go back earlier. Don't stay here.""Alright. Rest early, Ms. Emmerson."Angeline had just entered when the doorbell rang. She thought that the bodyguard wanted to ask her something, but when she opened the door, she found Sean standing outside.Surprised, she asked, "How did you—"Before she could finish, he stepped in, removed his glasses, and tossed them onto the shoe cabinet. Then he held the back of her head with one hand and kissed her as he kicked the door closed.The familiar, masculine scent enveloped
Angeline's phone slipped out of her bag, and the screen began flashing. The motion-sensor lights in the foyer flickered on in tandem with the phone ringing. On the other end, Yasmine's brow was tightly furrowed as she looked back at her intelligent older brother. "Is Mom not picking up because she's sleeping?"Xavier's face was identical to Yasmine's. He looked stern as he sat cross-legged beside her and said, "I think that Sean must've gone straight to look for Mom after he left the old Lawson residence!"Yasmine was startled. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she asked in a low voice, "If Dad and Mom are together, are we going to have a little brother or sister very soon? Will I get to be an older sister too?"Yasmine was the younger sibling, and being an older sibling held a certain fascination for her.Xavier glared at Yasmine before he stood up and left. …Zachary looked at Ned, who was leaning on the couch with a towel over his eyes to hide his emotions. Ned gulped, and his
