Soon, Melissa's profile and photos showed up on the screen. Melissa had a great resume. She graduated from one of the top universities and worked in Trustworth Group ever since. She wasn't in a relationship and had never gone on a blind date for many years. Besides, Melissa had even publicly announced in a press conference that she would always belong to his fiancé even if he had passed away. She had also told the elders not to arrange blind dates for their children with her for the sake of their marriage. Because of this statement, Melissa received countless amounts of praise on social media. It wasn't because they agreed with her faithfulness and feudal mindset, but because they thought she was courageous enough to live her own life. She could be a role model for women. Most Kemanian women agreed that women should decide on their marriage without being influenced by the opinions of their elders or outsiders. They would rather stay single and live the rest of their life alone
"The professor said I should go to the university if I'm willing to go out," Xavier said. "I can meet many like-minded students there. Talking to them will not only broaden my thinking, but I may give constructive feedback to help the students.""But Mr. Lawson Senior is a little worried about letting me go." Xavier pressed his lips. "Do you want to go?" Angeline asked with a smile. Xavier nodded. "I do, but Mr. Lawson Senior is worried that it isn't safe. He's afraid that he would lose me. So… forget it! I don't want him to be worried!" Angeline felt bad for Xavier's thoughtfulness. Robert had paid extra attention to the safety of the twins because of losing Jessica many years ago. "If you want to go, maybe I can talk to Mr. Lawson Senior and figure out a plan?" Angeline said. "Just like how Yasmine gets to attend kindergarten. There's always a way to work things out." "If Xavier wants to go to school, I can help him talk to Mr. Lawson Senior!" Yasmine said while hugging
"Ms. Lawson, Mr. Lawson is here and wants you to see him in his office. I think he's not in a good mood," Jamie warned Angeline. Angeline, who was tidying up her documents, was stunned and nodded. "Okay, I'll be there in a minute. You can continue with your work." After preparing the documents, Angeline knocked on Sean's door. Taylor came out of the office and smiled at Angeline. He courteously closed the door for Angeline and Sean. Angeline stared as Sean took his coat off and placed it on his chair. She walked before his desk and asked, "Jamie said you're not in a good mood. Did something happen at Kahors yesterday?" Sean tidied the sleeves of his shirt without answering. He walked around the desk toward Angeline and said before leaning on the desk, "Who gifted you that giant bouquet of roses?" "I don't know. The card said Ned," Angeline replied. "But, I know it wasn't him. He knows I dislike roses." Without a word, Sean took the documents from Angeline and threw them o
Every man would be happy with Angeline's answer.Somehow, Sean choked up seeing how considerate and forgiving Angeline was toward him, despite him feeling jealous because of the flowers from Ned. Sean even almost asked Angeline if she was also this forgiving to Ned. However, Sean knew the answer without asking, as he knew everything about Angeline and Ned. Angeline wasn't this forgiving toward Ned. She had once ignored Ned for three days because he had drunk water from another girl during P.E. class. Ned had tried many ways to apologize, but Angeline never forgave him. They had gotten into a huge fight because of this. And Sean remembered what Angeline had said, as reported by the man he had sent to look after her. "If you think drinking water handed by some other girl isn't a big issue, and I should stop being irrational, I can do it. But I hope you can allow me to accept drinks treated by other men, too," Angeline said. Then, Angeline did what she had said and accept
Angeline felt unsettled, but she knew it wasn't right.She had witnessed the loving relationship between Marion and Reese. Reese worked with other women all day long. Sometimes, he'd stay in the lab for over ten hours at a stretch. Whenever his research reached a crucial stage, he'd even stay there for two days.However, according to Marion, if one loved someone, he or she would have to give the person enough trust. Angeline undoubtedly loved Sean. Therefore, she had to make sure Sean understood her trust in him.In fact, Angeline had deep faith in Sean's integrity, and she trusted him more than she trusted herself. Due to her upbringing, she developed a profound sense of insecurity. She also recognized this aspect of herself.For their relationship to thrive, trust and honesty were essential.She had intended to find an opportunity to talk to Sean about the future and let him know that even though she was bothered by Melissa, she'd give him enough trust not to let her suspicion
"Mr. Fletcher ordered food for Ms. Angeline," Lenny answered on Angeline's behalf."This wasn't ordered by Ned," Angeline stated with certainty.Sean's handsome face remained expressionless. He glanced at the dishes on the table. "There are truffles and foie gras, which you don't eat?"Angeline nodded. "So I think someone ordered flowers and food for me in Ned's name, but... What could their motive be? I need to figure it out.""Are you so certain that after all these years, Ned still remembers your preferences?" Sean stood with his hands in his pockets beside Angeline, watching as Jamie put the dishes into the insulated container.Angeline pondered for a moment before nodding. "I guess so. I'll have Jamie look into the contact information of the person who placed the order. That should shed some light on this!"Seeing Jamie had finished packing up, she added, "From now on, if there's no instruction from me, don't bring up flowers or food anymore. Just reject them outright.""Ce
After finishing her words, Angeline seemed worried that Sean might misunderstand. She added, "It's not that I don't trust you. It's just... I don't know much about your other identity. The only person I know besides Lenny is Brayden. I can see that you have a deep bond with Brayden. He's your cousin, yet he wants us to separate so that you can be with Melissa. I feel like when I'm not around, he must still be trying to set you up with Melissa, so... I hope you can keep your distance from Melissa. I wonder if my request is too much?"Sean set down his fork. "I promise you. At the same time, I also ask you to keep your distance from Ned. Just like today, don't accept anything he sends. Angeline... I'll be jealous! I'll feel jealous if anything he sends shows up in front of you!"After a pause, he continued, "Not just Ned, but I'll be jealous of anyone who approaches you with intentions. I can't be by your side, but I selfishly hope you keep your distance from those people. Is that too
Angeline's toes curled up. A tingling sensation ran up her spine to the top of her head. She even felt a layer of tiny goosebumps forming on her arms."Sean..." Angeline's voice was as soft as a kitten's. She tried to pull her hand back. "Don't..."Before Angeline could finish her sentence, she exclaimed and tightly wrapped her arms around Sean's neck as he led her toward the pantry. Both Angeline and Sean's offices had small lounges, but Angeline had never used hers since joining Lawson Global.Sean tossed her onto the soft bed, and as Angeline watched him lock the lounge door, her heart remained uneasy. Just as she was about to get up, Sean pushed her back down."Let's... Let's go home! Grand Court Residences isn't far from here." Angeline's voice trembled slightly and tinged with a hint of longing. She had to admit that Sean could always easily turn her on, causing her desires for him to become impure.Sean pressed Angeline's hands against her head with one hand. As he continue
