Juliet attempted to visit Lawson Global and Vitality Biotech Group again. But before she could get close to either of the buildings, she spotted the three individuals claiming to be her family smiling at her from afar.Those three individuals seemed delighted when they saw her. It was as though they had seen money. Juliet was so frightened that she didn't dare linger under the buildings for even a minute and hastily fled.When Angeline and Sean were having lunch at the company, Jamie mentioned that Rachel, a woman who had always been beside Nathaniel, had run away from a planned wedding. After hearing that the White family was planning to marry Rachel off to an old man, Nathaniel confronted them.Jeremy was so angry that he had his bodyguards forcefully take Nathaniel back and confine him within the old Hooper residence. Nathaniel currently couldn't even step one foot out of the gates of the estate.Angeline took a fork from Sean and asked, "Nathaniel doesn't seem like the kind of
The phrases "unreasonable" and "the significance of the Lawson family" reverberated in Angeline's ears.It made her think of how annoyed she was when Sean celebrated Melissa's birthday despite knowing her significance to him. Sean had said before that he treated Melissa like his sister.Angeline wondered if Sean would think she was being unreasonable if she told him she was upset because he went to see Melissa on her birthday.After all, he had openly told her about celebrating Melissa's birthday on the very same day. He had even joked about her being jealous and reassured her that she had no reason to feel that way.Staring at the food in front of her, each bite was difficult. Matters of the heart sometimes couldn't be measured with logic, even though she knew he wasn't at fault.When Sean hung up the phone and saw that Angeline had started eating, he joined her.After they finished their meal, he saw her heading to the bathroom to rinse her mouth. He packed up the lunchbox and
Sean's and Angeline's entwined tongues parted. Angeline gasped her refusal, "Stop… People will see us."Her voice trembled, sounding not quite like herself. Her mind was still reeling, her body barely holding up, even with Sean's support.It was too fierce for just an afternoon kiss. The intense and passionate kissing left her sweating all over.Sean continued kissing her lips repeatedly as they breathed heavily, their hearts beating rapidly.Caressing her back lightly as if to comfort her, he said hoarsely, "You miss me too, don't you?"Angeline buried her head in his shoulder. His words made her heart beat even more intensely. The body's reaction couldn't lie.She endured his gentle and affectionate kisses while being held tightly in his embrace."How about we return to Grand Court Residences tonight? Hmm?" Sean mumbled through kisses, his voice like that of an enchanting sea witch. "Don't go back to the old Lawson residence, please?"Angeline clutched the back of his s
"Okay!" Angeline replied.When she and Sean arrived at her home, Lucy had already left, leaving the dishes on the table. While waiting for the rice to be cooked, Angeline sat on the sofa to review the documents.Sean changed into his casual clothes and approached her, gently patting the back of her head. He lifted her chin to kiss her when the doorbell rang.She quickly got up and, wearing her slippers, went to open the door. Sean exhaled heavily, his expression revealing a hint of irritation.From the security camera, she saw that it was Asher. She hurried to open the door."Mommy!""Mom!"The two young children darted in, hugging her legs on either side. Surprised, Angeline quickly crouched down to hug her children while looking up at Asher with unconcealed delight in her eyes.She asked, "Mr. Millstone, why did you bring the kids over?""It's Friday, and Mr. Lawson Senior thought you might want to spend a couple of days with them," said Asher.He glanced at Sean, who had g
"Really?" Sean said to Yasmine.He took the container full of strawberries. His usual frosty demeanor at work was completely gone. He couldn't stop smiling as he said, "Well then, thank you, Yasmine and Xavier! I will finish them later."After dinner, the twins stuck around Angeline. Yasmine chatted away, telling Angeline stories from the old Lawson residence, while Xavier sat quietly nearby, watching something on his tablet.Sean cleaned the dishes up and then went to the kitchen to prepare some sliced fruits for the children. He looked up and saw Angeline laughing and chatting with the kids in the living room. His eyes filled with tenderness at the sight.It was already past 10:00 pm when they finished eating the fruit, but the kids were too excited to sleep.Sean decisively picked up Xavier, who was clinging onto Angeline and refusing to leave her, and carried him to the bathroom.Standing outside the shower, Xavier held onto the hem of his hoodie. His chubby arms struggle
Angeline looked at Xavier, whose small hand was draped over Sean's neck as he slept soundly. Her gaze then shifted to Sean's distinct and handsome features. She then turned off the light and kissed Yasmine's cheek."Good night, Mommy," Yasmine replied, hugging Angeline's neck."Good night, Yasmine, my sweetie."…The next morning, when Angeline woke up, Sean and Xavier were nowhere to be seen. Yasmine was sprawled out in bed, showing no signs of waking up.Angeline wrapped her dress robe around her and quietly stepped out of the bedroom. She saw Xavier sitting at the dining table, slurping down a cup of fruit and a glass of vegetable juice while Sean was in the kitchen making more juice."You two are up early," Angeline said with a smile."Mom!" Xavier put down the juice and replied with a smile, "I already went for a run and came back!"Xavier and Sean had already returned after running together in the morning.However, Xavier didn't mention their encounter with Ned on
Ned stepped into the elevator and came face-to-face with the two children. His eyes instantly turned red as he couldn't help remembering the horrible things he had done to Angeline in the past, like the time in Dmont when he pushed her down the stairs, almost killing her and the children.The elevator dinged, and Angeline stared at Ned, who was standing directly in front of the elevator doors. She wore a tight frown on her face."Mr. Fletcher, could you please excuse us?" said Lenny politely, carrying the two suitcases belonging to the twins.Ned turned around and quickly exited the elevator."Mommy, that man is acting strange!" said Yasmine, looking up at her mother.Angeline settled the children down in their seats with a smile and fastened their seat belts. Just as she was about to get in, she heard Ned's soft voice from behind, calling her name."Angeline…"She turned back to face him with a cold expression and asked, "Yes?"He clenched his fists and said emotionally with
Ingrid came to Ned for help because she had no other options left. Despite the Fletcher family's bankruptcy, they still had some connections. Ned was her last hope."I understand. You're here because of Tommy," Ned said, pressing his lips together.It was a while before he finally said, "I'll find a way to make Tommy's life a little easier. Don't worry."Ingrid turned to wipe away her tears.She exclaimed, "Thank you! You've helped me so many times over the years. This time, I'll help you in return. I'll make sure Angie forgives you. Just wait for my call…"With that, she got in her car and left.That same afternoon, Angeline took the children to the old Lawson residence to spend the day with Robert and Jessica.The whole family gathered in Jessica's greenhouse, which was warm and pleasant all year round.Yasmine stood on a small ladder, lifting the watering can to water the flowers, while Jessica and Sandy carefully watched over her. Xavier sat on the swing, watching something
