Second Marriage to Mr. Rich Chapter 419
Sensing that it wasn't the right time to bring up Ned, Mallory quickly corrected herself. "We agreed that I would be your bridesmaid on your wedding day and you would be mine!""I've never said that," Angeline immediately rebutted.Mallory's face instantly flushed red. She huffed, "Yes, you did! Back then, you must've been so caught up in studying that you didn't hear what I said! You agreed to it at that time! "Nonetheless, I know that you're now the vice president of Lawson Global and must be very busy. So I won't pressure you into being my bridesmaid, but you must attend the wedding! You, Zachary, and I grew up together. There'll also be a lot of our old friends there. They all miss you so dearly. Besides—""I'm sorry," Angeline interjected. She pretended to glance at her wristwatch and said with an apologetic smile, "I have another appointment. I'll definitely make it to your wedding if I have the time! Congratulations…""Angeline, why have you become so distant?" Mallory cou

They made it seem as though everyone but Angeline was innocent—she alone committed the egregious crime of regaining consciousness. She should've remained in a coma and died off without ever waking up.Whenever these so-called childhood friends of hers gathered, they would all grumble, saying that things would've been much better if Angeline had never woken up.They even tried to give their unsolicited advice to Angeline, saying that Ned and she had merely been in a relationship. That didn't mean he owed her anything. Since he had fallen in love with someone else, why couldn't she be the bigger person and let him go so that he could be with his new love?Angeline had cherished them as friends, and their actions broke her heart.But now, she no longer cared about her friendship with them, realizing that they were never sincerely her friends. Thus, the painful past didn't affect her anymore."Mallory, it's true that I was once easily blinded by my emotions, but that's not the case an

When Mallory recalled the handsome young bodyguard with Angeline just now, she quickly got her phone out and called Ned.She knew Ned had regained his memories and even cast aside Fletcher Corporation just to appease Angeline, so she was determined to inform him about this.She ran toward her car and opened the door while saying, "Ned? I ran into Angeline just now. She bought some emergency contraception pills from the pharmacy! I got the feeling that the bodyguard with her was looking at her funny, so I'm worried about Angeline…"I swear I'm telling the truth! If this is a lie, then my wedding to Zachary will fall through and he'll abandon me for good!"Ned was outside Angeline's place when he received the call from Mallory.Whenever he felt frustrated or frazzled, he felt the urge to be closer to Angeline, and he would instinctively drive over to Angeline's apartment.Just so he could spend more time in closer proximity to her, he bought the unit on the fourth floor of Grand Co

Ned dared not imagine how frightened Angeline must have been then. She, who was terrified of having sexual relations, had been drugged and forced to have sex with a stranger. She had to have been overwhelmed with fear and anguish.Under the influence of the drug, Angeline couldn't avoid having sex with a man, but Ned didn't believe she would willingly initiate sex with someone.That being said, what Mallory cared about the most was getting married to Zachary. She had finally managed to sink her claws into him and force him to marry her. Since she had sworn on her marriage that she was telling the truth, Ned felt compelled to believe her.While Ned was busy mulling the situation over, Angeline's car pulled up outside the building.After parking the car, Lenny turned around and saw that Angeline had fallen asleep in the backseat. He undid his seatbelt and got out of the car. Then, he opened the back door and called out softly, "We've arrived, Ms. Angeline. If you're tired, you should

"So, what's gotten into you this time? Why did you want to see me?" Angeline asked.Ned approached her and shut his bloodshot eyes. The veins on his hands protruded as he gripped her shoulders tightly.Then, he opened his eyes to reveal a look of pain and fierce hatred. His voice was eerily soft as he said, "I almost ran out of my mind trying to keep myself from touching you, yet you were loose enough to sleep with some random man?"Angeline was taken aback. Then, she remembered how she'd run into Mallory earlier. She guessed Mallory had asked the pharmacy's employee for more details after seeing her come out from there.Ned tightened his grip on Angeline. His voice trembled as he tried to keep himself from going mad. "Did you sleep with this bodyguard?"Even Lenny was stunned by his words. Ned continued, "He already has a girlfriend! What's so great about him? Which part of him is worthy of your love? Is it because he's young? Or is there—""I'd advise you to hold your tongue, M

"What does it matter to me whether you believe me?" Angeline tucked her windswept hair behind her ear. Her eyes were bright and guileless. "I don't care what you think of me, Ned."The blood drained from Ned's face, and his breathing sped up. His nostrils twitched as tears streamed down his face. He tentatively reached out a hand to hold Angeline's. "Don't say that, Angie, please. I know I made a mistake, but please don't give up on me!"You promised you wouldn't ever leave me behind, Angie. You promised you'd always be by my side!" He held her hand tightly and looked up at her tearfully. "You don't have to care what I think, Angie. I have no thoughts! I just want you to give me a chance. Don't leave me!"Before Angeline could say anything, he looked away from her and continued, "I know I'm not worthy of you now—not like this. I'll work hard, and I'll get better. I'll become worthy of you! Please, Angie, please. I can't live without you. You're my everything!"Ned sobbed. "I feel w

"Mr. Fletcher!" Lenny grabbed Ned by the shoulder.Angeline waved a hand at Lenny, indicating for him to calm down. She said, "It's true that I used to love you, Ned, but that's all in the past now. I spent some time reflecting on our relationship, and I have to say that the main reason I fell for you was because no one wanted me at the time."You were the only one who did, so I thought of you as my buoy. Later, when you kicked me to the curb, at least I still had Anne and Hatty—they became my buoys. But Anne died in your hands, and Hatty jumped off a building because of Tommy."Angeline paused, then continued, "What did you do at the time, Ned? Or have you lost your memory and forgotten everything again? Do you think I can love you again just because you're telling me that you also feel wronged and aggrieved?"That I can forgive you just because you're saying it's not your fault you lost your memories? How cheap do you think I am?"Everything else that had happened could get a re

"Get out of my way!" Ned grabbed Lenny by the collar.Lenny merely held Ned's wrist calmly. His voice was cold as he said, "Can't you tell that Ms. Angeline doesn't want to see you now, Mr. Fletcher? As her bodyguard, I have no qualms about getting physical with you if you continue pestering her like this. And I'm sure you're no match for me."When he saw how Ned wanted to charge inside out of agitation, he held him in place and continued, "I don't know how deeply you and Ms. Angeline loved each other in the past."But even as an independent observer, I can tell there's no way you two can get back together—not with two lives between you. The more you pester her like this, the more you repulse her!"Two lives stood between them.Ned sagged like a ragdoll when he thought about Anne, who used to cook delicious meals for him, and Henrietta, whose smile had been as sweet as Angeline's.How could he be unaware of how much they meant to Angeline?Back then, Anne thought she didn't

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

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
