Angeline sat beside Ned's bed. She seemed to be in a trance. But after a while, while looking at Ned, whose eyelids trembled slightly, she said, "If you don't even care about your own body, the doctors can never help you regardless of their skills. I came today because your mom told me to. Also, I don't want to tell Yasmine you died when she asked what happened to her lifesaver. "I don't want her to feel guilty for your death at such a young age. So, if you really have no will to live, consider doing it after you recover!" Angeline's words were harsh. She stood up and said, "I'm leaving." As Angeline left the ward, Lenny said, "Mr. Lawson called me after you've gone in the ward. He asked me where you were, and… I told him everything." "What did you tell him?" Angeline asked while walking toward the elevator. "I told him about Yasmine getting kidnapped, and Mr. Fletcher saved her," Lenny said in guilt. "I'm sorry, Ms. Angeline. I didn't keep my promise to you. But I—""It's
Before Sean could say anything, his phone rang again. Sean looked at the number and furrowed his brows. He answered the phone while walking toward the outdoor swimming pool. "What? Didn't I tell you not to call me for no reason?" Angeline glanced at Sean before washing her hands in the bathroom. Then, she poured herself a glass of water. She looked at Ned's text message after seeing Sean was still on his phone. They were all apology messages. To summarize, all the messages said were for Angeline not to worry, as Ned just wanted to atone for his sin and had no intention of reconciling with her. As Angeline heard Sean returning from the pool, she opened her email and simply checked it without looking at him. "We should talk, Angie," Sean said before walking toward the kitchen island and placing his phone on it. "Sure." Angeline locked her phone and looked at Sean with the glass in her hands. "Go on. I'm listening." "I'm Yasmine's father. You should call me instead of your e
Angeline recalled the stinging words Ned's parents had used earlier in the hospital when they fought and the accusation Barry had made toward Sherryn. "Oh, please, Sean." Angeline took a deep breath before continuing, "Do you know how panicked I was when Yasmine was gone? I'll be frank. I can't be as collected as you are in this situation, let alone text you to let you know! "Can't you tell how long it had been since I called you when you called me back? Yasmine was saved. What is the point of me telling you this? For some half-hearted comfort from you? I'm sorry, but I don't need those." Sean stared at Angeline with a stern expression as he breathed heavily."I wasn't going to say this, Sean." Angeline determinedly said, "But you were with your fianceé when my kids and I needed you the most. Since you enjoyed spending time with your fianceé so much that you couldn't answer anyone's phone call when you were with her, how about you return to the Kingston family right now?" Sean
"My phone was on mute, so I didn't know you called," Sean explained. He didn't even know when his phone was on silent mode. But he would always be at fault the more he defended himself, so he had to admit his mistake. "It's my fault, Angie.""Then, can you control your jealousy and accept me giving Ned 24 hours of attention starting today?" Angeline asked. "Angie!" Sean grabbed Angeline's face to look at her eyes. Angeline smiled at Sean. "To me, Ned is my family. We grew up together. He was the one who brought me out of Emmerson Village. "He's like an older brother to me." Sensing that Sean had tightened his grip, Angeline chuckled. "See, now you know how it feels. I can't accept you having a so-called 'younger sister' who is more important than my kids and me." "No one is more important than you and the kids, Angie. I didn't know my phone was on mute. I had to reschedule or replan everything because I delayed my return to the Kingston family. But you know it's to spend mor
Sean's phone rang. Seeing that it was a call from Brayden, Sean blocked his number and WhatsApp contact. Angeline said nothing when she saw what Sean had done. But ten minutes later, her phone also rang. She looked down at her screen and saw it was from Brayden. "It's Brayden. You can answer it." Angeline handed the phone to Sean. "No, you answer it. You can block his number if you don't feel like answering," Sean said."But what if it's something urgent?" Angeline asked. "Yes, I hate him. But I don't want to get in the way of your matter. Especially if it's a life-or-death matter, I can't afford that! So, it's up to you to answer it or block him." Angeline continued her work, ignoring Sean. Brayden was annoyed as he kept calling Angeline but got no answer. He pressed his lips before sending text messages to Angeline. "Hey, Angeline. I know you're still mad about our phone call before. But I have something important to tell Shane. You'd better not take this chance to g
"Angie's phone was with me," Sean said. "T-Then, did you see the messages I sent?" Brayden regretted sending the messages. "I-I didn't know Angeline called because her daughter went missing when you were with Melissa! I would've gotten someone to search for her if I was aware. Although I tried to separate you two, I know the kids were innocent! "By the way, Shane. Although you have a substitute, you must remember you and Melissa are engaged. You two grew up together, and you'll have to marry her once you return." "You've gone too far, Brayden." Sean stared grimly at Brayden. Brayden gulped. "Angeline is my wife. We're engaged in Ravoria," Sean said. "Also, I only regard Melissa as my sister or friend. I've never, ever thought of her as my significant other. You have no right to decide who I should be with!" "Angeline doesn't match you, Shane," Brayden said. "You two aren't made for each other. Besides, she's the one who stopped you from returning to the Kingston family. Don
"No! It won't happen anymore!" Sean hugged Angeline tightly. "I won't be seeing Melissa unless it's something urgent!"Angeline sank her face into Sean's embrace and grabbed his shirt while remaining silent.Noticing Angeline's action, Sean kissed the top of her head.As Angeline didn't resist him, Sean couldn't suppress his desire for her and lifted her face with one hand. He gulped while slowly lowering his face toward hers.Angeline noticed Sean's intent to kiss her and clenched his shirt. Her eyelashes fluttered as she held her breath and leaned back slightly.However, Sean pulled Angeline in forcefully by her waist, stopping her from backing off.Angeline felt her heart palpitating when Sean's burning lips met hers.Although they had done way intimate acts before, Sean's wet kiss could always arouse her.Angeline subconsciously tried pushing Sean away, but he quickly grabbed her hands and hooked them around his neck. He wrestled his tongue in Angeline's mouth while pushing
"Angie, don't ever mention breaking up again! I don't like those words!" Sean said. Sean was mad about this. "Y-Yes…" Angeline replied vacantly. "Good girl, Angie." Sean chuckled. He stared Angeline in the eyes before moving closer to kiss his lips. He leaned in, touching Angeline's burning face with his face, and whispered, "Tell your honey if you want it." Angeline's mind exploded in excitement. Although Angeline and Sean were a legal couple, she had never called Sean "honey." Sean's words were like sirens dragging the sailors down into the abyss. Even though it was just a simple word, it was enough to melt Angeline, who was lost in desire from Sean's kiss. Embarrassment boiled Angeline's cheeks and quickly spread down her neck. The words struck Angeline awake, and her body turned bright red like a ripe tomato. Sean kissed Angeline on the lips again, wrestling her tongue aggressively. He carried Angeline into the bedroom and didn't stop kissing her. Sean tossed
