Second Marriage to Mr. Rich Chapter 457
"It's just a joke," Lara said before glancing at her watch. "I've got to get back. My male model is already washed up and waiting for me in bed!" Lara stood up as she spoke, swaying a little."I'll go with her to the yacht." Angeline helped Lara into the yacht and watched as she left. She looked around but could see no sign of Sean on the beach. She looked again at the campfire. The people remaining already had a lot to drink, and they were beginning to dance around the campfire. She pulled her blanket tighter around her, unwilling to return.The yacht had just left, so it would take some time to come back. Angeline was slightly tipsy. She walked along the beach with the blanket wrapped tightly around her. A bright moon hung where the sea met the horizon, and she listened to the soft sound of the waves lapping against the rocks. She carried her slippers in her hand as she walked barefoot on the empty beach, leaving footprints in the sand. Perhaps it was because Sean hadn't

The lights weren't on, but if anyone exited from the other villas, both Angeline and Sean could be seen clearly."Are you angry because I told you to restrain yourself in the office the other day?" Angeline asked gently. Not long ago, Sean's possessiveness had been like a tight net that encased Angeline completely, making her feel very secure. Now that Sean had suddenly let go, Angeline was very unused to it. The metallic lighter had been rubbed until it gleamed, and the flickering flame lit up Sean's impassive expression. As the lid of the lighter clicked shut again, the weak flame disappeared in a second. Sean continued twirling the lighter in his fingers. "Wasn't I very restrained in the past?" Sean's gaze was very distant. They were so distant that Angeline almost felt that their affection and his wild passion had all been a figment of her imagination. She and Sean had indeed behaved like this previously. They would never contact each other unless they had somethin

Angeline was tipsy, but she lay in bed for a long time, unable to sleep.She watched the bright moon outside the window, slightly veiled by the gauzy curtains. She got up and stepped on the white, velvety carpet to get her laptop. She sat on the candlelit sofa on the second-floor balcony and opened her laptop to go through her emails as the sea breeze swept over her.Monica was staying in the villa next to Angeline's. She couldn't sleep either. She walked out in a dressing gown and saw Angeline sitting on the balcony with her laptop. She raised her eyebrows and took out a cigarette. She lit her cigarette before taking a photo of Angeline with her phone and immediately sent it to her fiancé, Sean. They had only just added each other on Instagram that day.The message Monica sent to Sean read, "Are all the Lawsons workaholics?" Monica did not know where Sean had gone. She still hadn't seen him. She had expected to be alone with Sean that night and planned to get things started b

"It's nothing, really," Angeline said, smiling."You think I don't know when there's something going on?" Danny crossed his legs and looked closely at her. "Tell me. It's not like I'll tell anyone else about it. Is this about your fight to be the successor of the Lawson family? Hmm?"Angeline turned to look at Danny."Don't look at me like that!" He picked up his phone and pressed it against the armrest. "You owe Sean, but… Mr. Lawson Senior has acknowledged you as his granddaughter. Didn't he do so to see which of you is more accomplished and more suitable to take over the Lawson family? Anyone can see that.""Tell me, if Heather agreed to date you but requested you to keep a distance from her, why would she suddenly feel unhappy once you did as she told you to?" Angeline asked. "That's ridiculous!" Danny immediately felt indignant by proxy. "Oh, so she wants me to keep my distance from her but then gets angry when I do so? Then she'll still be angry if I don't. Is s

Jesse was calm before his elusive crush from years ago, Angeline, who was way out of his league. The two sat by the floor-to-ceiling window facing the lake, with colorful night lights reflecting onto the transparent glass and casting onto Angeline's natural, fair cheeks. She was so gorgeous that one wouldn't take their eyes off her. "To tell you the truth, I was a little nervous and still feel a lingering fear now when meeting you." Jesse's ears reddened. Despite his efforts to remain calm and behave naturally, his micro-expressions showed his nervousness. "After all, I know how different we are," Jesse said. "When we were young, you were always the champion in every competition you participated in. Not only was your gorgeous appearance unforgettable, but your resume was out of our reach. "In just a few years, you've founded Vitality Biotech Group. You've also secured a huge collaboration project for Lawson Global so soon after you joined them. You've always had countless h

"How do you know I'm obsessed with you if you don't give me a chance?" Jesse asked in urgency. "You might still be recovering from your relationship with Ned, but trust me! Just give me three months. If you think we're not for each other, I'll give up on you then." At the sight of Angeline's unchanged expression and sensing she was about to speak, Jesse quickly interrupted, "One month! Just one month is enough! Even if I'm not the one, Mr. Lawson Senior will still arrange another man for you. I'm sure they'll waste your time, and you'll meet them half-heartedly."Trust me, Angie. We can remain friends for a month, and I won't cross the line. That's all I want." "I'm sorry, Mr. Zinn. But I already have someone I like. It's just that Granddad doesn't want me to be with him, so he arranged our blind date today. I'm so sorry for wasting your time," Angeline said. "But are you two officially dating? If you haven't made it public, you're not officially together. Why not just give me

Sean and Angeline's seats were facing each other. She could see from the corner of her eyes that Sean was talking to the person sitting opposite him, but he never looked at Angeline. Angeline remained in her seat as she looked at Sean, who was smiling while talking to Jesse. She sipped her water and checked her phone to suppress her emotions. Although it was only a few days, to Angeline, it felt like months had passed since she last saw Sean. Angeline's last few days were torturous as she missed Sean's scent, embrace, and breathtaking kisses. But her heart sank a little when she recalled Sean walking away without stopping when she tried to hug him at Steele Group's resort villa. Angeline thought she had controlled her emotions very well, but she couldn't reach Sean's level of flexibility in emotional management. Despite their relationship becoming awkward because of Angeline's request for Sean to control himself, and even if Angeline thought she was greedy for wanting to ha

"There's something I need to do tonight," Sean said calmly. Even if Angeline was thick-skinned, Sean's stern reply still saddened her. She awkwardly nodded and returned to her table. Jesse smiled at Angeline. "What a coincidence! I didn't expect to see Mr. Lawson here." Angeline pressed her lips without a reply. Jesse remembered that both Sean and Angeline had been adopted by Robert and assumed Angeline was nervous because her family had caught her seeing a man. "Mr. Lawson is considered your uncle, isn't he?" "Yeah," Angeline replied before sipping her wine. "I've told him about our blind date set up by Mr. Lawson Senior. So don't worry about it," Jesse said with a smile. "Mr. Lawson mentioned you founded Vitality Biotech Group because you enjoy academic research. There should be a lot we can talk about." "Is that so?" Angeline finally smiled. "Who would've thought my uncle knows a lot about me." Jesse felt delighted after seeing Angeline's smile. He asked,

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
