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
