If Rachel were smarter or not so ruthless, they might still have a chance.As the hype on Twitter escalated, Nathaniel's childhood friends who weren't the type to sit around doing nothing had almost all seen the news that had been buzzing all night by the time they got up for work.The three Scott sisters were speechless. They wondered how netizens these days could stay up and cause a stir online all night.Kieron noticed that Nathaniel seemed to be getting involved with Angeline, but then he thought it unlikely for the two to end up together. They must've come to some kind of agreement.So, he locked his phone screen, took a sip of water, yawned, and went back to bed.However, when Sherryn saw the trending news at the hospital, she was furious."No wonder! No wonder she refused to remarry Ned! She's been waiting to marry into the Hooper family in Krontos!" she remarked, shaking with anger as she held her phone."What about the child whom Ned had saved? Angeline has always denie
Sherryn was angry at his lack of ambition.Suppressing her anger, she said, "Ned, wake up! Angeline has always denied that the child is yours because she's afraid we'll fight for custody. She doesn't want to give the child to us."She's intending to bring the child, who's supposed to be Fletchers, to the Hooper family! The child must be yours!"Ned ignored his mother and continued to scroll down the article.The paparazzi's photos showed Nathaniel parking his car and guiding a slightly drunk Angeline into the building. The text beside the picture mentioned that after he had escorted her inside, he hadn't come back out until 7:05 am the next day. After that, he drove directly to Hooper Group."This is all made up!" Ned said, trying to stay calm as he spoke. "These tabloids write sensation stories just to attract attention. You don't have to read them.""You…" Sherryn fumed, feeling pain in her chest. "Fine, if that's just a tabloid's nonsense, then look at this. This is a Twitte
"I've told you many times that the kid isn't mine!" Ned shouted. "Can you please stop… stop asking about me and Angeline! If it weren't for you insisting on morally coercing her, and if it weren't for you speaking ill of her, why would she say she wouldn't come to see me?""Are you blaming me now?" Sherryn raised her voice, but as soon as she saw the bandage on his arm, she bit her tongue and continued, "Fine, just get some rest.""Mom!" Ned called out when she picked up her bag to leave. "Don't do anything unnecessary, please!""What unnecessary things could I do?" she said, looking at her son. She couldn't hold back anymore and finally said, "If I were you, I would use this injury to keep Angeline here before her relationship with Mr. Hooper is confirmed."After much consideration, Sherryn decided to tell him what had happened years ago.She said, "After you lost your memory, you focused entirely on Ingrid. Remember the snowstorm when she was filming in the mountains? You co
So, at the time, Sean's conversation with Angeline wasn't about the accident after Ned and Angeline had registered their marriage. It was about the time Angeline had put her life on the line to protect Ned.Now, the memory of those words was like a bullet to Ned's heart. He'd had no idea that Angeline was the one who'd carried him down the mountain when he'd gotten trapped.His emotions roiled. The next moment, he thought about how cold Angeline's expression had been when she'd said things had already changed.Now that Sherryn was gone, Ned forced himself to control the urge to seek Angeline out. Instead, he had the carer bring him his phone before asking to be left alone.He scrolled through a netizen's post—it was a timeline of his relationship with Angeline. The more he read, the more tears filled his eyes. He couldn't keep them at bay anymore.The further he got, the more he realized he couldn't live without Angeline. He clutched his phone tightly as the torment overwhelmed hi
Ned wondered if Nathaniel had stayed over at Angeline's place the night before and if she was really marrying him. Only then did Ned realize Angeline hadn't been lying to him. She really was with someone else now. He'd been arrogant and egotistic to think that Angeline hadn't been honest with him.Angeline's frown deepened when she saw how Ned was acting. "Are you here because of what's happening online?""Angie…" Ned's eyes were filled with tears. "Do you… Do you really not want me anymore?"He hadn't lost his mind so far because he'd thought he still stood a chance.Angeline's brows unfurled at his words. "Have I given you the wrong impression about that? Or didn't I make myself clear to you in the past? Did you really think something could still happen between us?""But have you forgotten all about our past? We…" Ned choked up. "What do I need to do to make up for all the harm I've caused you? What will it take for you to stop pushing me away?"I'm not trying to absolve myse
Angeline hadn't wanted the expensive gifts Ned had bought for her because he'd spent his parents' money buying them. Because of that, he'd put his life on the line while racing with others just so he could use the prize money to buy a ring that Angeline liked. Then, he'd proposed to her.Later, he'd sworn not to race with anyone anymore because Angeline had told him she didn't like it. He'd also quit smoking because she didn't like the smell.Ned had even stopped playing the games he'd been addicted to after seeing Angeline pull all-nighters to prepare revision notes for him. He'd started studying hard so he could keep up with her.All it took was a word from Angeline to get him to change. In fact, she hadn't even needed to say anything at times. He was willing to change as long as he could see that Angeline wanted or didn't want him to do something.His whole life circled around him and Angeline. But now, she was abandoning him to be with someone else. How could he let that happen
Ned wanted to bring Anne back to life. He was willing to sell his soul to make it happen. He would do anything to make Angeline forgive him and return to him.But he didn't even know who to sell his soul to. Who could help him with something like this?"She's just… she's just like how you used to be… That's why I fell for her even without my memories… It's always been you… Only you… Please… Don't toss me aside…"Angeline listened to Ned's delirious words as she looked at his hand on her wrist. Then, she coldly shoved his hand away.She was already aware of these things. When she'd heard Ned call Ingrid "Baby", she knew he was only transferring his feelings for her to Ingrid. It was the reason behind her insistence on waiting for Ned to regain his memories.That was why she'd said she was willing to let Ned go if he were to choose Ingrid, even after regaining his memories.Angeline had given Ned two years to decide. She'd given him countless chances to stab knives in her already s
"Water's fine." Zachary followed Angeline into the kitchen. He stood on the other side of the kitchen island and watched as she boiled water to make tea.He chuckled, continuing, "Miles once told me you're decisive, but I didn't believe him. But when I saw Ned on the couch just now, I realized Miles indeed knows you best."Angeline glanced at him and snorted softly. She put a teabag into a cup and leaned against the island while waiting for the water to come to a boil. She didn't say anything."Is there really no way for you and Ned to return to how you used to be? You guys were so…" Zachary hesitated. "You refused to give up on him no matter how hard we tried to talk you out of it, and you two used to be so in love. Your love was strong enough to make us all believe true love existed. But now…""As you said, Miles knows me best." Angeline poured the hot water into the cup and pushed it toward Zachary.He looked down at the cup and sighed. "He also said Ned wasn't the on
