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
Suppressing news of the accident was also a way to prevent others from linking "Sean's" accidents and eventual death to the Lawson family and to the fight for Lawson Global's ownership."You should've used this accident to escape the Lawsons, Shane." Brayden lowered his voice. "You might not have expected this to happen, but it would've made much more sense, with Dexter being the reason behind it. There's still time to twist this around. All you need to do is transfer to our hospital."The thought had crossed Sean's mind, but he still had matters to attend to before leaving."There's no need to rush," he said. "We can still let Dexter know that his subordinates crashed into Sean Lawson of Lawson Global."He decided this after some thought. Sean had arranged for the substitute to show up here and there over the years since he first showed his face on TV. It was all to fool the Kingstons into thinking that Sean and Shane resembled one another."I'll get on it," Brayden said.
