"Grandpa, it's your fault. Angeline had quite a lot to drink because your wine is too delicious," Nathaniel said jokingly.Jeremy smiled and said, "Send her off with a case of my wine later when she leaves."Concerned, Aurelia said, "I don't usually stay at the old mansion, so I don't have any clothes for her to change into. Does she have spare clothes in her car? We can send someone to fetch them."That day, Asher was the one who had picked Angeline up from her home, and he drove Robert's car. So, there were no spare clothes in the car."It was Mr. Millstone who brought Angeline here, so there should be no spare clothes for her in the car," said Sean as he got up from his seat, supporting himself on the back of the chair."I'll take her home first. Mr. Millstone… please watch over Dad and make sure he doesn't drink too much.""Sean, let Mr. Millstone send Angeline home!" Robert suggested.He didn't want to appear too obvious in front of others, so he kept a smiling face when he
"Okay. Keep in touch," Angeline replied."I'll invite you into our outing chat group later. Remember to accept it," reminded Nathaniel."No problem."With her affirmative reply, he smiled as he closed the car door for them and watched the sedan leave.Just as the car left the old Hooper residence, the sky began to drizzle. Sitting in the back seat, both Sean and Angeline remained silent.The suit that was draped over her carried his scent. It brushed against her skin like a small brush scratching her palm, making her feel uneasy…She took off the suit and handed it back to him."Thank you."Sean glanced at the suit, took it, and tossed it aside impatiently.Feeling slightly tipsy, Angeline leaned back against the seat and looked out the window. The raindrops tapped lightly on the car window, distorting the bustling traffic and colorful lights outside into a kaleidoscope of colors as they passed over her flawless face and delicate neck."Taylor, pull over ahead and buy a bot
The temperature continued to rise in the cramped and dark confined space. The sounds of kissing, breathing, and fabric friction all seemed incredibly ambiguous.Though the two were already pressed together so closely that there was hardly any space between them, it wasn't enough for Sean. He had been longing intensely for Angeline.His large hands over hers kept pulling her deeper into his embrace as if he wanted to crush her in his arms.The chaotic sounds of raindrops hitting the car windows and roof were stifling and urgent.Perhaps due to the lack of oxygen, she could feel her spine trembling slightly. Even her legs, which were braced against his waist, were shaking and could barely support her weight. Her body softened and slid down against his hot and solid body, completely engulfed in his arms. Her head rested weakly on his shoulder as she was forced to endure his lips and tongue entwining with hers, completely losing control of herself and struggling to comply.Sensing
Angeline's slightly parted red lips made Sean unable to look away. He wanted to devour her. She could feel his thumb pressing against her chin, signaling her to look up…"Sean…" she whimpered, her voice breathy and coquettish. "Stop kissing. Mr. Powell is coming back."He brushed away the strands of hair dampened by fine sweat. With a hoarse voice, he said, "If Taylor doesn't have this much insight, he wouldn't have been my assistant for so many years."During their first encounter when she had been drugged, it was Taylor who had bought the clothes and brought them over. Considering what had happened afterward, how could Taylor not know?At this moment, Taylor had already gotten some water and hangover medicine. He was standing under the pharmacy awning, waiting for Sean's call.Angeline took a breath, refusing Sean's attempt to kiss her again. She got off him and rolled down the car window slightly.The cold air rushed in, relieving the heat on her flushed cheeks slightly. S
"I have to leave after going through these documents." Sean glanced at his watch. "Let's head upstairs first."Angeline tightened her grip on her bag's strap. Hadn't he said that he wasn't going to go upstairs?She put on a straight face like there really were documents waiting for them upstairs. She nodded and said, "Yeah, let's go."Ned watched as Sean and Angeline entered the building and elevator. He stood at the entrance, not daring to follow them.Inside the elevator, without saying a word, Sean stood beside Angeline with a hand in his pocket.When they arrived at the top floor, Angeline walked out. She turned to ask Sean, "Are you going to go down now, or do you—"He strode out, wrapped an arm around her waist, and kissed her. She gripped his arms tight as he practically lifted her off the floor. Her toes could barely touch the floor. They staggered backward as Sean pinned her to the door.The door swung open after being unlocked. Sean didn't break the kiss as he pushed A
Angeline's lashes fluttered, and her breathing hitched."I can control the desire to murder when someone tries to get to you with a hidden agenda." Sean approached her. The sound of their clothes ruffling as he rubbed against her rang out. "But I can't control the desire to kiss you."I can't stop myself from wanting to make you mine over and over again. I gave you the chance to back off once, and… I can do it again."If Angeline wanted to back down, he would extricate himself from their relationship no matter how hard it was."Are you making me choose between you and the Lawson family?" she asked."It's a choice you may have to make in the future." Sean held her by the neck as he peppered her lips and cheeks with kisses. He held her tighter and pressed his lips to her ear, murmuring, "Even if I were to shed my identity as Sean Lawson… If I were to show up by your side with this face of mine…"What do you think people would think of you? Would they think you'd long since harbored
Back then, Angeline hadn't cared about the Lawson family when wanting to be with Ned.The more intense Sean's greed and infatuation with her grew, the more possessive he became. It was now getting to a point where it had become twisted. He wanted Angeline to only have eyes for him. He wanted her to belong wholly to him, whether in terms of her heart or body.He wanted to make sure he was the only person she could see, the only one she would kiss, the only one she would accept. Sean wanted her to belong to him and only him.And with how intense his feelings for her were, he wanted her to return them with equal fervor. He wanted the love that Angeline had to be exclusive to him. In other words, he wanted her to love him alone.Sean didn't bother hiding his emotions as he stared into Angeline's eyes. His aggressive, intense, and lustful gaze was clear to see.It made Angeline's toes curl, and her breathing hitched. The Sean before her seemed to be a separate entity from his usual coo
Sean chuckled mirthlessly at Ned's words. "For all you know, Angeline could be enjoying herself. Besides… this is nothing compared to the pain she experienced when she was with you, right?"Taylor had already jogged over to them with an umbrella. He held it over Sean's head as they headed to the car under Ned's stunned and guilty gaze. Then Taylor opened the door for Sean.Ned's eyes turned red as he watched Sean get into the car and leave. The latter's words weren't the nicest to hear, but it was undeniable that Angeline had it much easier now no matter how busy and tired she was. It was nothing compared to what she'd gone through when with him.He knew that Angeline would only soar higher without him dragging her down, but he couldn't bring himself to let go. He'd been willing to give up his life for her—why had the heavens pulled a prank on them and made him lose his memories? They'd even made him fall for someone else!…When Angeline came out of the shower, she lay on the bed
