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

    Angeline had turned down all of Nathaniel's invitations, though. Nathaniel was strategic enough to call her in Jeremy's presence. That way, he could put on a helpless act whenever Angeline turned him down. It proved that it wasn't that he hadn't tried to invite her over, but it was because she simply wasn't interested in him.Jeremy would prod Nathaniel's head angrily, thinking him useless. He didn't want Angeline to end up with some random guy, so he'd reviewed all the eligible bachelors in his family before sending the list to Robert.Robert didn't refuse him. He was retired now, so he had nothing else to do. All he did was arrange for Angeline to go on blind dates. Robert graciously accepted Jeremy's list of eligible bachelors. He didn't inform Angeline about the blind dates. Instead, he arranged for her to "coincidentally" run into the men.Asher had evolved into a bachelor-picking robot. He spent most of his time reviewing different men and arranging for Angeline to meet them.

    Sean knew he couldn't lie his way through this, so he headed somewhere where he would be alone. He said in a low voice, "I got into a minor accident, but I'm fine, so don't worry. I just grazed my forehead."I had Taylor keep the news under wraps. I can't have anyone hearing about this. That's why I won't be attending the conference with you tonight."Sean feared Angeline would be worried about him when she learned about the accident from Taylor. He was also afraid she would be mad at him if he were to keep the accident from her. That was why he called to inform her beforehand.He could imagine the look on her face. He smiled at the thought and continued, "My injury has already been attended to. The results of my checkup will be out in 20 minutes. If everything's okay, I'll head home and wait for you there. You'll see I'm fine when you get home, so don't worry."Angeline felt a little more at ease when she heard this. "I'll be home earlier tonight, then. Send me a copy of the r

    As soon as the words were out of Angeline's mouth, the sound of lounge slippers padding across the floor rang out. Yasmine ignored the shock on Ned's face and turned to reach for Sean. "Hold me, Daddy!"Sean smiled and lifted her into his arms. Then, he stood beside Angeline and looked at Ned imperiously. "Nice to meet you, Mr. Fletcher. I'm Shane Kingston. Thank you for pushing Angie away in the past—it led to my relationship with her."Ned knew precisely who "Shane" was. Just a few days ago, he'd seen the news about Melissa's press conference explaining her relationship with "Shane".His mind buzzed. He knew Sean and Shane looked similar enough for Dexter's men to have gotten the wrong person. However, he hadn't expected "Shane" to have anything to do with Angeline!"You… Are you the kids' father?" Ned's voice was incredibly shaky."Yes, and again, thank you for that!" Sean smiled. "We've never told anyone about this because I didn't want to endanger Angie and the kids.

    Sean didn't give Angeline the chance to finish. "You were right to bring this up to me!"He wrapped his arms around her from behind and continued, "You and the kids will always be my main priority. I know I said I want Melissa to remain safe and happy under my watch, but my feelings for her are purely familial love."She's family to me, and I must care for her. But you and the kids mean more to me than anything else in the world, including her."His honesty made Angeline feel slightly more at ease. She said, "Those are your words, not mine…""I swear on my life that I mean every word." He pressed a kiss to her head. "Can I stay here tonight? I want to sleep with you and the kids. Also, I came from Brayden's place upstairs, so no one will know I'm here.""Granddad made it clear that if anyone finds out about this, he won't allow the kids to see you anymore.""Got it. Don't worry about a thing. Mr. Lawson Senior raised me, and I owe him for that. I won't put him in a tough

    Angeline nodded without saying anything. Once Nathaniel was gone, she received a call from Sean."Now that everything has been taken care of, I want to give you a gift," he said, the smile in his tone evident. "Can you have the kids spend Friday night at Grand Court Residences? I want to show all three of you my gift on Saturday."He missed Yasmine and Xavier terribly. Before resolving the issue with Melissa, he hadn't dared to say he wanted to see them. Even if Angeline were okay with it, Robert probably would've objected to his wishes. Now that the dust had settled, he couldn't wait to see them."I don't call the shots regarding the kids now. I'll have to ask Granddad," Angeline said."I'll talk to him about it." Sean was worried Robert would take his anger out on her. "This all started because I insisted on being with you, so I'll handle it. I'll visit Mr. Lawson Senior later today."Angeline didn't know how Sean's conversation with Robert went, but Robert had Asher drop

    That night, Melissa called Sean. "Shane, let's publicly announce our divorce. We can tell everyone that we only got married on paper so the Lane family could offer you its protection."Tell them that Dexter repeatedly tried to harm you so he could take the Kingston family fortune, and tell them how he tried to snatch you from the Lane family so he could secretly deal with you."She paused, then continued, "Now that Dexter's in prison, we can get a divorce, and Lori can adopt me as her daughter. We'll become cousins, and we'll still be a family.""Melissa…"Sean was surprised. He didn't expect her to see the light in such a short time."Since you don't have any feelings for me and won't ever make me your wife, I'll settle to be Lori's daughter. That way, you'll always be my family!" Tears streamed down Melissa's face as she spoke. "I adore Lori and want to be her daughter.""Alright," Sean said."Can you head to Keman with me, then? We can visit Dad together before getting

    Melissa stared at Lori, who chuckled gently. "It's alright. There's no need to rush into anything. Take your time to think about it. Get good rest for a few days, then go shopping with me. We can buy some clothes to keep up with the changing seasons."I heard from Brayden and Sean that you're the expert in fashion and dressing up. I've always wanted a daughter who could shop, exercise, travel, café hop, and go on spa days with me."She paused and continued, "I didn't get to do any of this with you because you weren't in the best state before this. Now, though, you're all better. You're back to normal, and you've regained your memories!""I'd love that!" Melissa said without hesitation. She'd only done these things with her mother and Emelia in her dreams, but that was all they were—dreams. She was delighted now that Lori was back and willing to make her dreams come true.Sean sat on the couch and sipped his coffee. He knew Lori was doing everything she could to make his life ea

    Melissa nodded. Sean said, "I know you have no company management experience. Mr. Lane might have entrusted Trustworth Group to me, but it's still yours. Before you find someone to take over, my plan for the company is still to move its focus back to Lonla."The global situation isn't the best now, and Lonla is the safest place for expansion. That's why the company's focus has to return to Lonla—""You can hand the company over to Brayden," Melissa interrupted. "The only people in this world I trust are you, Dad, and Brayden. Now that Dad's in prison and you don't want me anymore, Brayden is all I have left.""I'm still your kin, Melissa. I won't kick you to the curb and leave you to die. Nevertheless, Trustworth Group is yours. You can have whoever you want to manage it. Brayden is capable of that." Sean looked at Brayden. "What do you think? Are you willing to take over Trustworth Group?""I'll do it as long as Melissa is okay with it!" Brayden nodded. He turned to look

    "That's not it! I've always been willing to care for you, and I'm more than willing to care for you in the future! It's not something that I'm forced to do…" Brayden feared his words would inadvertently hurt Melissa, so he decided not to continue in that vein.He said, "C'mon, you should head downstairs to eat something. You've already slept the day away.""I don't want to eat!" Melissa lay down again and pulled the sheets around herself. She said dully, "I want to sleep for a bit longer. Shut the door on your way out."Seeing that she'd already shut her eyes and started weeping, Brayden said softly, "I'll have the kitchen keep the food warm for you. Remember to call me when you wake up, okay? I'll be right downstairs!""Okay." Brayden left the room after hearing Melissa's muffled reply. He shut the door behind him.Melissa remained upstairs. She didn't head downstairs, even when Sean returned. Sean had already spoken to Angeline on the phone and told her he wouldn't meet

    Melissa slept in her room and only woke up at night. She removed her headphones and opened her red, swollen eyes. She stared dazedly at the night sky, only returning to her senses when her headphones fell out of her hands.Brayden, who'd been waiting outside this whole time, heard them fall to the floor and hurried into the room. He saw Melissa sitting cross-legged on the bed. She propped herself on one arm while leaning down to pick up the headphones.He hurried forward and picked them up for her, then remained on one knee by the bed. He looked up at her and said, "You slept for ages, Melissa. Do you want to have anything to eat? I got all your favorites, and there are different cuisines. I also got your favorite fruits and snacks!"He'd already had the maids throw out the food he'd bought at noon. Then, he'd had his subordinate buy a fresh batch.Melissa turned to look at him dazedly. She said hoarsely, "Brayden…""I'm here," he said. "C'mon, should we get something to eat

    Melissa knew Sean well. So, it was impossible for her not to know if he was being serious. Sean was indeed threatening her, and he was using his life to do it. That way, she wouldn't dare to harm Angeline for fear of hurting him.She loved Sean so much that she could give up her life for him. She wondered why he was treating her that way. He knew she wouldn't allow even the slightest possibility of her threatening his safety.Just then, Sean received a call from Brayden. He said, "...Yeah, I've already picked Melissa up. We're heading to Southstream Manor now… Yeah, you can head over there. Buy some food on your way—Melissa probably hasn't eaten anything yet. She should be hungry."At his words, Melissa couldn't hold back her tears any longer. She covered her face and started sobbing. She'd spent her whole life dreaming of becoming Sean's wife, but he was now in love with someone else and no longer wanted her.Yet, she couldn't do anything about the situation, or she'd be hurting
