"Granddad arranged for me to have dinner with Mr. Hooper tonight. They're worried people might gossip about me, Ned, and Ingrid if the PR department failed to suppress the news," Angeline explained, worrying that Sean might be uncomfortable. "After all, we have an international star, a bankrupted toff, and his ex-wife as the headliners. Think about the stories they could tell! Besides, I can't tell them you're Yasmine's father if they started talking about her parentage. So, Mr. Millstone wanted to use Mr. Hooper as a smokescreen," Angeline added. "I understand," Sean said before kissing Angeline deeply. Angeline moaned and tried pushing Sean away. But he grabbed her hand with one hand and cradled her head with another before leaning in for another deep kiss. The kiss was as aggressive as last night's as if he was trying to swallow her lips. Sean stopped and let go of Angeline before sucking hard on her lips just as Angeline was about to suffocate. "I have nothing to worry ab
"Help yourself with the drinks in the fridge. I'll go get changed," Angeline said. "I don't mean anything about the bouquet. Grandpa told me to bring it. He said someone would be filming us, so it was just for the act," Nathaniel explained. "Should I arrange the flowers for you? You can take your time. No rush." "Sure, thanks!" Angeline quickly got changed in the dressing room. Nathaniel took his coat off and unwrapped the bouquet. He trimmed the flowers and arranged them in the vase while humming a song. Women usually took a long time to get changed and put on make-up. Hence, Nathaniel thought it'd be better to arrange the flowers instead of foolishly waiting on the couch. At least he had something to do, and Angeline wouldn't feel pressured. Unexpectedly, Angeline got changed very quickly, as he had only arranged two flowers when Angeline came out of the dressing room. Angeline put her long hair down. She wore a champagne, pleated dress with a white silk jacket. She clu
Although Nathaniel was the same age as Sean, he behaved like a child and had always been curious. "Everyone has their secret, Mr. Hooper." Angeline walked toward Nathaniel's flamboyant, yellow sports car while holding onto his arm. Nathaniel smiled while opening the car door courteously for Angeline. "You're right. I shall stop asking, then." After Nathaniel entered the car, he thoughtfully helped Angeline buckle her seatbelt. "It's okay. I got this," Angeline said."My grandpa said if we act intimately, it's more unlikely for the paparazzi to say that you've intervened in your ex-husband's new relationship even when you two were divorced." Nathaniel put on his seat belt. With one hand on the steering wheel, he stepped on the gas pedal and drove off. On the way, Angeline asked, "Are you this collaborative because of Rachel?" Angeline supposed that Nathaniel had only agreed to put on this act for Rachel's sake. "Not necessarily. After all, I was the one who brought Rachel
Amidst the night lights of bustling cities and busy roads, Nathaniel looked extra childish while putting on a stoic expression. "I'm sorry, Mr. Hooper. How old are you?" Angeline raised a brow. "What? Are you trying to cheat even when you've won?" Nathaniel mocked. Angeline was speechless, but she still locked her pinky finger with Nathaniel's and sealed them with a thumb stamp. Nathaniel was finally satisfied."Alright! Rachel will be out of my life from now on!" Nathaniel said with a smile. Despite his love for Rachel, Nathaniel would tolerate anything about her except her stupidity. Nathaniel didn't tell Angeline that she was also one of the candidates for his bride in the future. This was because he didn't dislike Angeline and knew exactly how outstanding she was. Jeremy also had an eye on her, not only because of her ability but also because of her value of love and loyalty. Despite Angeline's past relationship with Ned, Angeline had protected Ned during the car a
Angeline could tell the wine was strong, as she felt tipsy after drinking two glasses. "You can't handle alcohol well, can you?" Nathaniel asked, "Should I send you to your door?" "It's okay. I'm not that drunk," Angeline replied. The elevator arrived at Nathaniel's floor. Angeline waved her hand to signal Nathaniel out of the elevator. As soon as the elevator door closed, Angeline, who had been standing straight, leaned weakly against the elevator wall. She took her jacket off, held it on her arm, and exited the elevator before scanning the face recognition to enter her house. After kicking her heels off at the entrance, Angeline entered her house while holding against the wall with her head down and saw two slender legs wrapped in a pair of trousers. She looked up and saw Sean, who had also just returned and was standing at the entrance. Sean got home about 30 seconds ago, so he hadn't even taken his necktie off. "Did you drink?" Sean walked forward to help Angeline a
Angeline grabbed Sean's necktie as he was about to get up. With one leg kneeling on the bed, Sean was forced to bend over. He held Angeline's hand on his necktie and moved them toward his lips before kissing her fingers. "You're drunk, so you should get some rest. I'll take a shower and get changed.""Sean…" Angeline called and touched Sean's face with her other hand. "Why are you so handsome?" Sean's eyes were focused on Angeline, who looked silly in her drunken state. He held her hand, which was caressing his face and lips, before kissing it. "I'll be quick. You should sleep first. Stop fooling around, okay?" Sean sounded calm. "Your voice sounds great, too." Angeline giggled. "Such a wonderful man is mine." Sean looked at Angeline with a bit of resignation. "Yes, yes. I'm yours." "Sean…" Angeline called again. "You're using the wrong form of address." Sean grabbed Angeline's hand and bit her thumb. "Ouch!" Angeline whimpered like a kitten. "That's the wrong form o
Angeline was probably drunk at that time, but it wasn't enough for her to forget everything from the night before. She admitted she wasn't a match for Sean.Having not been to the office for two days, she intended to get up and go in, but when she checked her phone, she realized it was still early. She put the phone back down and pulled her arm under the quilt.She closed her eyes, and the image of Sean teasing her to the point that she was on the verge of tears while calling him "Honey" flashed through her mind. She vowed never to drink again, as she would be taken advantage of easily whenever she drank. It seemed that Sean enjoyed teasing her when she was tipsy.The bedroom door opened, and she buried her head under the quilt.Sean walked to the bedside holding a glass of honey water and sat down, smiling."I know you're awake. Get up and drink some honey water so you won't get a headache," Sean said. "I won't drink again! Every time I do, you'll take advantage of me!" she s
It had been proven that Ned and Angeline had a car accident on their way to register their marriage, resulting in Ned losing his memory. Ned's parents and their mutual friends had worried that if he remembered Angeline, he might be overwhelmed and end up in a vegetative state. So, since he had lost his memory, they never mentioned Angeline in front of him to protect him.After losing his memory, Ned actively pursued Ingrid, and when she was with Ned, she didn't know that he had legally married. Those who claimed to be Angeline's friends had testified that when Ingrid learned Angeline had awakened and that she and Ned had been legally married, Ingrid decided to break up with him, but Ned was unwilling to let her go.On Twitter, they said that after losing his memory, Ned had become a different person. He didn't intentionally betray his past relationship with Angeline, as he had transformed into a completely new person.The old Ned no longer existed, and he loved Ingrid the most.
