"Fine! It's just brilliant that you both have your own ideas and plans! Who cares about the Lawson family and an old man like me?" Robert stormed before shutting his eyes."Go with him then! I don't want to see any either of you right now…"Emotionally, he could not tolerate seeing his son and granddaughter together. He'd only be able to endure it if he lost his mind. Rationally, Sean, burdened with hatred, was even less qualified to be his grandson-in-law. After all, he might even drag Angeline into trouble with a slight misstep.When Sean decided to leave the Lawson family, Robert was destined to lose this son. He didn't want to lose his granddaughter as well, let alone bring danger to his daughter and two great-grandchildren.Robert couldn't accept this.Moreover, Angeline had a history of being lovesick. Back then, when she was with Ned, she was willing to sacrifice everything, even refusing an invitation to the prestigious Krontos University, just to be with him."Granddad
Angeline exited Robert's study and whispered to Asher, "Thank you for taking good care of Granddad.""Don't worry!" Asher replied before pursing his lips and adding, "I shouldn't be meddling in the affairs of the Lawson family as an outsider, but Ms. Angeline... I still hope that you consider the reputations of Mr. Lawson Senior and the Lawson family."Understanding his implication, she lowered her head without giving a direct answer and said, "If anything happens, regardless of the time, I'll return immediately."When Sean, who was still kneeling in the living room, saw Angeline coming downstairs with red eyes, his mind was filled with dozens of imagined outcomes. He even considered the possibility of her abandoning him for the sake of the Lawson family.He stared straight into her eyes with his hand tightening at his side. His cold and stern features displayed a terrifyingly calm distortion.She approached him and picked up the glasses from the floor before helping him up.Taki
Sean's gaze fell on her slender and graceful neck.She seemed fragile, as if her neck could break with just a little force. It was understandable that she was afraid. But since she agreed to be with him, indulging all his possessiveness and greed to the extent that it became insatiable today, making him greedy, anxious, and irritable, it would be too late for her to ask him to let go now.Angeline raised her hand to cover the back of his hand, which was pinching her chin and gently kissed his fingertips.His suppressed anger seemed to freeze as his fingers trembled, and he loosened his grip on her face."I've already told Mr. Lawson Senior that I don't want to separate from you," she finally said, her voice choked with emotion. "I won't leave you ever!"At the sound of his increasingly rapid breaths, she gently moved his hand from her chin and placed her cheek in his palm.She continued, "If revenge is something you must do, I won't stop you. Just like you won't stop me from do
A moment later, Sean's fingers touched the door handle. He hugged Angeline tightly and pushed the car door open with his foot before walking from the garage to the door connecting to the house, heading to the second floor."You… you're injured!" she blurted, not forgetting what happened at the old Lawson residence earlier when Robert's cane vigorously struck him."I'm fine!"Angeline embraced his neck and looked up to meet his gaze. Right at that moment, she understood the intense and fervent desire in his eyes, her ruby lips being kissed again.Sinking into the soft bed, she propped herself up with one hand and hooked Sean's neck with the other, pulling the man who had just taken off his suit jacket down with her.Even though he had kissed her and claimed her as his countless times, Sean still felt that it wasn't enough. He didn't think it'd be ever enough.He didn't know when he had become so insatiable.…Sean held Angeline in his arms as he watched her sleeping. He lowered
Her lips, which were ruthlessly ravaged by Sean last night, stung.Just as she opened her eyes, she was lifted and placed on the kitchen counter. Before he could kiss her again, Angeline quickly turned her head and leaned back with one hand supporting her body.She questioned, "Why do you have so much energy? Aren't you tired? My lips hurt."Sean wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer, gently kissing her lips and replying, "Last night, we didn't finish our conversation. You said... you love me."Angeline's ears turned red as she stared directly into his narrow eyes without his glasses.The glasses were like a facade for him. With them on, he was the refined and indifferent Sean, but once he took them off, his eyes revealed a crazy greed for her, stimulating her heart to beat wildly when their eyes met."Yes, I love you, so I won't stop you from doing what you want," Angeline admitted frankly, finally bringing the conversation to the topic they both didn't want to
Sean's breathing was heavy, too. He buried his head in Angeline's neck, unable to control his desire for her. He shut his eyes and held her tightly as if he could cause their bodies to merge. His embrace was so tight that it made her feel like she had a cobra wrapped around her."Sean…" she said. His embrace was starting to hurt.Sean didn't think it was enough. He felt it was far from satisfying his needs.The veins in Sean's hands protruded as he held Angeline tightly. He wanted her so badly. He felt like he could call her his only when he was buried in her. It seemed his possessiveness over her had grown again.Angeline wrapped her arms around his neck and said softly, "It hurts…"Sean immediately loosened his hold on her. He kept his eyes shut as he tried to suppress his almost twisted emotions."Do you find it hard to have faith in me because of my past relationship with Ned? Does it make you feel insecure?" she asked.At Angeline's words, Sean pursed his lips and tighten
Securing Angeline's position at Lawson Global would put both Sean and Robert at ease."Where will you return to after we're done here?" Sean asked."Grand Court Residences. It's closer to Lawson Global, so I won't have to worry about traffic." Angeline's heart started racing even before she finished her sentence. She tightened her hold around his neck. "Do you… wanna come over?"Her heart raced even more once the words were out of her mouth. It was practically an invitation.The hungry look in Sean's eyes made her breathing hitch. She looked down to avoid his gaze. "Pretend I didn't say that if you have other plans."Just then, Sean's and Angeline's phones started ringing. Despite that, he held her close and kissed her again, sucking on her tongue until she was at risk of suffocating.She was dazed when he released her. Then, he rubbed her burning ears and said, "Answer the phone."Angeline watched as Sean picked his phone up from the dining table and headed to the windo
"Oh, I'm not afraid of him," Angeline said with a smile. Despite Brayden's lackadaisical attitude, Sean evidently trusted him. She wouldn't think of anyone Sean trusted as her enemy, even if they didn't appear to be good. She didn't need to fear Brayden.Lara arrived at Glitz Cafe a few minutes earlier than Angeline did. When she saw Angeline, she pushed the proposal toward her and gestured for her to have a look.When Angeline saw that Lawson Global would only receive 20%, she didn't bother looking at the rest of the document. She laughed and said, "I wanted 50%, but you're only giving me 20%. This isn't how haggling is done, Ms. Lara. I don't think there's any need for us to waste our time anymore."She got up without even bothering to drink her coffee."I can only give you 25% at most. That's the most I can offer!" Lara's smile faded. After all, land No. 3 was in a very important location. "I can provide you with some extra benefits in private. It'll be off the record!"
