Second Marriage to Mr. Rich Chapter 276
"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

Zachary nodded. "Alright. Mr. Marshall and I will take our leave."Sherryn watched them leave, then sat down next to Ned. "I don't know how much of your memories you've recovered, but it's impossible for you and Angeline to be together now. Everyone knows that you're engaged to Ingrid, not to mention what you did to Angeline to force her to divorce you."Ned leaned back against the couch, unmoving and silent.Sherryn grabbed his hand. "Ned, although I didn't like Ingrid at first, but compared to Angeline, she's at least an international celebrity. She's also the person who saved Mr. Norwalk, and she loves you. If you break up with her now, she might get revenge on you behind your back!""Can you please be quiet!" Ned's voice was hoarse. He didn't want to hear a single word of it.At that moment, his mind was full of the scene where Angeline told him never to appear in front of her again. All he could see was her cold, impassive gaze. In his memories, Angeline had always looked a

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
Second Marriage to Mr. Rich Chapter 1056
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
