Sean spoke earnestly to Melissa. He had grown up with her, and his mother had always wanted a daughter, so she doted on Melissa. Emelia had even said that she wanted Melissa to be her daughter-in-law.

Their families had enjoyed joking around like that.

However, Sean only had room in his heart for Angeline.

Perhaps Melissa had grown accustomed to the idea that they would become husband and wife one day, and maybe that was why she was helping him so much. Or perhaps she was doing it because of their long friendship, like her father, Brian Lane. Regardless, Sean was very grateful and would do his best to repay them for their help. Still, he would only ever have Angeline as his wife.

Since he could only see Melissa as a sister, he figured it would be better for him to clear the air now.

When he saw Melissa's shocked expression, he ruffled her hair like he used to do when they were kids.

"I'll take you to meet my wife when everything is over."

    Brayden pressed his lips together and glanced at Sean, who had looked over at Melissa. Brayden turned back to Melissa, who was standing beside Sean and felt in his pocket for his phone."Melissa." Sean shut the notebook and looked seriously at her. "I told you, I already have a wife.""Is it Monica? She's just your fiancée, and besides… you're not Sean anymore! You're my husband, Shane," she said, pressing Sean's shoulder. She leaned over to kiss him.Sean dodged her and caught her face with his long, slender fingers. He pressed his thumb against her lips and carefully pushed her pretty face away from him. Melissa had lost her mother as a child, so Brian had spoiled her terribly. He had even given up on marrying again for Melissa's sake. Even though he did get married again, he did not try for any more children. When he married his second wife, he made his will and left all his assets to Melissa.After Spencer and Emelia had passed away, Brian had watched Melissa break do

    "Melissa, don't let the old jokes of our elders bind you." Sean reached out again and ruffled her hair like he used to do when they were young. "You're very important to me, and you're the only younger sister I have in this world. I don't want to lose you."Melissa's eyes reddened. "I'm going to prove to you that I like you like a woman likes a man! Since you're back, we have plenty of time!" She turned and stalked to the front row of the private jet, then pulled the curtains around her and sat there in a huff. "I'm the witness! Melissa likes you romantically!" Brayden saw that she had gone and lowered his voice. "Besides, she's right. You're Shane, now. Within our circle, you're already married to Melissa, and you're her husband."Sean sat down and continued flipping through the notebook, ignoring Brayden. Brayden rubbed his hands together. He ultimately grabbed the suit jacket that he had tossed over the back of the sofa and retrieved a dozen or so photos. He handed

    At the Kingston residence, Dexter had just been told that they'd run the wrong guy over. He was so angry that he kicked the coffee table over. "Useless! You're all useless! How could you get them mixed up?" Dexter's hands were shaking with anger. "If we don't kill Shane this time, then Shane and that Lane fellow will be on their guard! Getting Shane to leave Lane's protection was so difficult for us. Is this how you operate? I've spent so much money on them over the years, and instead of helping me take care of business, your subordinates create trouble.""Dexter, our subordinates are not to blame. It was simply a coincidence that Sean and Shane appeared in the same city and checked into the same hotel. We were confused when they exited the hotel because they really do look very similar to one another! It's true!" Cain hurriedly placed the photos of Sean and Shane on the coffee table. "Look! They're really very similar! They could be mistaken for twins!""Nonsense!" Dexte

    "Boss, it's going to be difficult! Firstly, the Lanes are already on their guard, and secondly…" Cain looked uncomfortable. "We just murdered Mr. Lawson of Lawson Global. If we try anything now and it gets on the news, the Lawsons will see Shane's photo. They'll definitely put two and two together and realize that Sean was mistakenly killed. When that happens, you'll have two enemies.""What a bother! He's just an adopted son. Would the Lawsons care that much?" Dexter unbuttoned his shirt irritatedly. "That's hard to say. We're not even sure how things are in Lonla right now!" Cain looked worried. …After Sean's departure, Angeline had been having endless meetings to stabilize the company. She visited all their subsidiaries across the country. She only missed Sean when she returned to her hotel late at night. She would worry about how Sean was faring since his return to the Kingstons. When she exited the airport, Angeline instructed Jamie and Taylor to return home to re

    Melissa was the only heiress of Trustworth Group, after all. Her appearance at the airport with her husband became a trending topic. In the video, Sean wore sunglasses and had his fingers intertwined with Melissa's. As they faced a crowd of reporters, he shielded Melissa as they got into the car. The media complimented them and regarded them as a perfect couple.At first, Angeline felt uncomfortable when she saw Sean and Melissa holding hands. However, she had already known that this would happen before Sean's return. Sean was now Shane, Melissa's husband. There was no trace of jealousy in Angeline's expression. Brayden didn't know why, but he felt rather annoyed. "Didn't you say that you love Shane? Then… why aren't you angry when you see him being affectionate with Melissa?""Did you invite me in just so you could see me getting angry?" Angeline got up. "In public, they're a married couple. It would be strange if they did not behave affectionately with each other! If yo

    "I'll get going if there isn't anything else. Please don't contact me in the future if there isn't anything urgent. We're not that close." Angeline put Brayden's phone on the coffee table and turned to leave.Just as Angeline reached the doorway in the foyer, Brayden caught up to her and grabbed the doorknob before she did. He looked seriously at her and said, "Angeline, I truly advise you to leave Shane. This is for the good of you, the Lawsons, and Shane. You don't know this, but there's a crazy guy who hangs around Melissa. If he finds out about you and Shane, he will not hesitate to hurt you to stop Melissa from being sad.""If it weren't for me, he would have risked his life for hatred. He treasures his life because I'm his anchor. I don't see myself as a weakness." Angeline looked at Brayden and said solemnly, "Besides, how do you know that I won't be able to help him?" She indicated for him to open the door.He frowned and stared at her. He wondered if she was unafrai

    "Xave…" Angeline called out Xavier's pet name softly and gently. "You like Daddy very much, don't you?"Xavier's lips were pressed tightly together, and he said nothing. It made his cheeks look even chubbier. Anyone who saw him would have the urge to poke those cheeks. "Daddy loves you and Yasmine the most." Angeline's voice was unusually gentle. However, she did not know when Sean would be able to return, so she could not make any promises to Xavier.She also had to consider the possibilities.It was possible that Sean could only return when the children had grown up, so she didn't want to give them hope and disappoint them continuously. Therefore, she had no choice but to keep it a secret. "Alright. Don't worry about Yasmine, Mommy. I'll tell her that we haven't had a father for so many years, so… even if Sean is dead, it's alright." Xavier's eyes turned even redder. He sniffed. "I'll persuade Yasmine not to mention Daddy again in the future."Xavier rubbed his e

    Angeline felt suffocated. Sean had once asked her if she was possessive of him, and she now realized that she was. She knew that it was all an act and that Sean had to be Melissa's husband if he wanted to resume his original identity. Still, she was overwhelmed. Her mood had already been low due to exhaustion, and now she felt worse.She picked up the phone that Sean had passed to her through Brayden, glanced at it, and then put it down again.Although she was in a bad mood, she still hoped that Sean was safe and that he could successfully accomplish his goals. She would settle the score with him when he returned.Angeline went to bed with her emotions weighing heavily on her, and she did not sleep well. Fortunately, it was Saturday the next day, and she was not in a hurry to get up.However, she had to attend a social gathering with Monica and her sisters. Nathaniel and a few other heirs of the other families would be playing golf together so she could not wake up too late

    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
