Second Marriage to Mr. Rich Chapter 465
Angeline coincidentally saw Ned exiting his car as she arrived downstairs of her apartment. Ned appeared to be in a rush as he still had a lit cigarette between his fingers. At the sight of Angeline looking at him with her brows furrowed, he quickly threw the cigarette to the ground and extinguished it with the tip of his shoes. Ned went up the steps and held the elevator door open for Angeline after successfully unlocking the door. Angeline followed up the steps in confusion while staring at Ned, who was like a doorman waiting for his guest. "How did you…" "I live on the fourth floor," Ned explained. "Listen, I understand what you told me last time. There's Anne and Henrietta's death standing in between us. I understand. I understand it all. I won't ask for your forgiveness just like this." Ned was tall and slender, so he looked down at Angeline as he held the door open for her. Despite that, he had a lowly presence, with his eyes red and a lump in his throat. Ned was

Angeline bit her lips. "Ms. Angeline, please be considerate of Mr. Lawson Senior," Asher said. "This is already his mildest means! You can not date the men, but you must go on the blind dates. You really shouldn't force Mr. Lawson Senior to take drastic actions. Not only will it be bad for you and Sean, but it may also affect your relationship with Mr. Lawson Senior. "Besides, angering Mr. Lawson Senior may affect his health too. You've seen his medical report. It's best if he isn't angered anymore." Angeline felt defeated and lay back on the couch. She covered her eyes with the back of her hand to obstruct the lights from her view. Asher understood Robert the most. Naturally, he would know what Robert was plotting. Regardless of whether these blind dates could increase the friction between Angeline and Sean, they could take up most of Angeline's time. After all, Robert knew how busy the work at Lawson Global was. If Sean wasn't in a meeting or on a business trip, then he

Ned was about to move forward, but Lenny blocked him. He shouted, "Angie, I brought you some hangover soup." "Don't do unnecessary things, Ned. I don't need it. Lenny, you can leave after you send Ned out," Angeline said before hanging up and walking back to the couch to continue checking her schedule. After confirming her clear schedule for the next morning, Angeline leaned back into the couch. She wondered how long Sean would continue with the silent treatment. Angeline had never felt this uncomfortable before, even when she had poured her heart out to Ned when they were together. She closed her eyes while leaning on the couch. After a while, she impulsively got up to get changed and randomly grabbed a document from her bag. She then retrieved her car key and headed down after checking the surveillance camera to confirm both Lenny and Ned weren't at the door. After leaving her parking area and confirming no one was following, Angeline stepped on the pedal and drove off

"Oh, okay…" Angeline gripped the steering wheel. "Sorry to bother you. I'm hanging up." But before Angeline could end the call, Sean asked, "Why are you calling me with Lucy's phone?" "I left my phone at home," Angeline answered. "It's fine. I'm heading back now." "Are you alone?" Sean's eyebrows furrowed. He recalled Angeline had a lot to drink at the restaurant earlier that day. Before Angeline could answer, Sean continued, "I won't be home tonight. You can spend the night in the manor." "It's fine. Don't bother."Angeline sounded hoarse. "I'm hanging up now." She returned the phone and thanked Lucy after hanging up. She drove out of the neighborhood and stopped by the side of the road. She noticed a lit convenience store with a poster stating, "Facial recognition payment system available". So Angeline exited the car and bought a bottle of cold water. She left the convenience store and drank the water at the entrance. She was contemplating if she should par

Before Angeline got in the taxi, Sean's car stopped at the opposite side of the road. Sean stepped out of his car with a sullen face. He slammed the door closed and walked toward Angeline while trying to suppress his anger. Angeline released the door handle and apologized to the taxi driver before shutting the door. She didn't know it took Sean 12 minutes to rush from Night Palace to the neighborhood of his manor while running the red lights. Even the phone call was to stop Angeline from leaving. She saw Sean, who wasn't wearing his glasses and had his lips pursed. She was about to say something, but tears flooded her eyes uncontrollably. "Give me the documents," Sean said. "We still have to put on an act." Angeline handed the documents to Sean. She smelled alcohol and tobacco on his body and asked worriedly, "Were-were you drunk driving?" While flipping through the documents, Sean said, "I was already on the way home. I had the designated driver drop me off at the

Angeline tried to catch her breath with her eyes closed. She stopped kissing Sean and leaned her forehead against his. Her hand and icy fingers, which were cradling Sean's head, slowly and weakly fell onto his shoulder. She tried to suppress her tears but couldn't stop her body from trembling. Amidst the darkness, Angeline stopped constraining Sean. She didn't even open her eyes to look at him. Even though they were kissing and Angeline was sitting on Sean's lap with their bodies close to one another, she couldn't sense Sean's usual passion. His cold demeanor sent shivers down her spine. After a moment of silence, Angeline said hoarsely, "Are you giving me the silent treatment?" "Silent treatment?" Sean chuckled. He stood up while holding Angeline's waist and separated himself from her with his hands on her shoulders. "You told me to control myself like I used to, yet you're unhappy with it. So, tell me what you want, Angeline?" Sean's deep-set eyes showed a bit of drun

"Brayden, send her home," Sean ordered. Brayden was sitting in the living room. He turned around and saw Angeline leaving the manor without a backward glance while Sean headed upstairs. Brayden felt dumbfounded. He had only just caught Sean and Angeline making out at the entrance to the garage moments ago. He wondered how they ended with an argument.Angeline was walking out of the neighborhood when Brayden followed after her. He quickly drove and slowed down beside her. "Hop in. We're headed to the same place anyway." "It's fine. I'll call a taxi myself. Thanks for the offer," Angeline replied. "It's not easy to call a taxi here," Brayden said. "Just get in the car. Don't worry. I won't advise you to forgive Sean. After all, I'd be happier if the two of you could break up!" Angeline stopped. Brayden stopped his car beside her. She dropped her tough act and entered the backseat of the car. "Thanks." The car left Sean's neighborhood. Brayden snuck a look at Angeli

"It's okay. I'll be off very soon," Angeline answered. She weakly sat on the chair while staring at the black monitor screen as her mind drifted. After sitting in front of her computer for an unknown period, Angeline finally stood up and left. Her body was as if they were being roasted by fire, and her joints were in pain. Yet her fingers were ice cold, suggesting that her body temperature was rising. She had to take an aspirin or go to a doctor. When the door to Angeline's office opened, Lenny stood up from the couch and walked toward her. "Are you leaving, Ms. Angeline?" "Yes," Angeline replied. Angeline was grimacing when they passed a pharmacy. She asked Lenny to stop by the road and get her some aspirin. Lenny returned to the car with the medicine and also an infrared thermometer. He was shocked after taking her temperature. "Ms. Angeline, your body temperature is above 102 Fahrenheit! We should go to the hospital!" "It's fine. Just hand me the medicine and wat

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
