Chapter 876

Author: Jean Summer
Even though it was Saturday, Angeline had to go on a business trip to the Oceanford branch.

While she had scheduled a meeting with a major international client there, she also needed to inspect the engine R&D center. She planned to restructure the personnel at the R&D center to expedite the research progress.

Accompanying her on this trip were several high-level executives from Lawson Global, but they traveled separately and would meet at the hotel.

Just as she reached the entrance with her suitcase, the doorbell rang. Thinking Taylor and Jamie were there to pick her up, she put on her blazer and high heels before opening the door.

To her surprise, it was Nathaniel. He also dressed formally in a suit, standing at the door with a smile.

"Good morning!" he greeted.

He stood among the bodyguards outside her door, looking somewhat comical in his formal attire.

"What's up?" she asked.

"I'm here to take my fiancée to the airport!" he said, jingling his car keys and taking her suitca

    The paparazzo said, "Pft! Ms. Lawson means the world to him? It sounds more like Lawson Global means the world to him. Who doesn't know that after Mr. Lawson Senior's passing, the Lawson family's fortune and Lawson Global will all belong to Ms. Lawson?"If I were her ex-husband, I'd claim to have regained my memory and say she meant the whole world to me too! If the remarriage succeeded, I'd have control over the entire Lawson Global!"His colleague said, "True! Mr. Fletcher and Ms. Lawson do have a history. When he said in the live interview that she meant the world to him, I looked into their past. If he hadn't lost his memory, they probably would've been living happily together.""Who knows?""But don't you think Ms. Lawson should clarify things online since it's such a mess right now?"The paparazzo said again, "Why bother clarifying? She's already accepted someone else's proposal. Just letting that news out is enough. It's more effective than writing a lengthy explanation.

    "Where's Adrian?" Angeline asked.Adrian was an engineer who had been involved in the engine design since Sean's time. After that, she personally negotiated to bring him on board the project."Mr. Rostova is on leave today," the manager quickly responded. "But when he heard you were coming this afternoon, he said he would be here."Angeline nodded. After taking a tour around the research center, she directed everyone to the conference room for a meeting.The meeting lasted over four hours, and Adrian rushed over as soon as he got the message.Admittedly, the progress at the research center had accelerated with his involvement, but it still fell short of her expectations. For her, money wasn't an issue. The problem was the urgency to obtain results.After the meeting, the research center team invited Angeline to a dinner.Sensing her fatigue, Taylor approached and whispered, "Ms. Lawson, you have a video conference at 7:30 pm. I'm afraid dinner won't be possible."She nodded and

    In the pitch-dark bedroom, a man with a cold, stern expression sat on the couch. As the bedroom door opened, warm light from the living room spilled onto his feet.Angeline's grip on the door handle tightened, and her vision blurred slightly due to the alcohol. She wasn't sure if she was hallucinating from drinking too much or if the man was actually in the suite.Their eyes met, and she adjusted her emotions faster than she expected.Holding her white blazer that had been draped over her arm, she stood at the door without turning on the light and asked, "Why are you here at this hour? Don't you need to stay with Melissa? Aren't you afraid of your identity being exposed?"Sean's gaze was fixed on the dazzling diamond ring on her ring finger. It was even more striking in the darkness.He looked up at her with his deep-set eyes and demanded, "Take off that eyesore on your finger!"It was the first time she had heard his voice sound so deep and commanding. She glanced down at the di

    Sean bit Angeline's lip forcefully and demanded coldly, "Open your eyes! Look at me!"Fresh air rushed into her chest, and she gasped loudly while trembling uncontrollably. Even her legs were shaking vigorously.In the darkness, the man's deep eyes seemed even more profound. He pressed his thumb against her chin, forcing her to look at him.He asked, "Was it worthy to lose someone you love just to keep Thomas alive?"Sean's rough thumb pressed against her lips, which he had kissed until they looked like ripe berries. Expressionless, he stared straight at her with his dark eyes, exuding a low pressure and unfamiliarity.Then, he began to kiss her wildly, but there wasn't a hint of desire in his eyes. They were cold enough to make it seem like he could strangle her to death in the next moment.Angeline's lips were pressed together, her hazy consciousness finally returning. However, her thoughts were still unclear due to the alcohol. Even the ceiling seemed to be spinning.She refu

    "Stop…" Angeline said, wanting to pull her hands out of Sean's grasp to push him away.However, her wrists were firmly fixed, unable to move an inch. She turned her head to avoid him, but his thumb pressed against her chin and pushed her face back.Lightning once again tore through the night outside the floor-to-ceiling window.In the light, the features on his face appeared even more distinct, exuding a cold, ascetic, and unfeeling demeanor. His gaze toward her carried a high and mighty sharpness, with a terrifying madness subtly lurking within his calm looks.Kissed to the point of near confusion, Angeline saw herself reflected in his pitch-black pupils. She saw her small figure in his eyes, and her heart pounded wildly.Sean's breathing was heavy, and his shirt was unbuttoned, revealing the firm, smooth lines of his muscles beneath the open collar.As the rumbling, bean-sized raindrops pelted the glass, her silk blouse was stripped away. In the darkness, his possessiveness bur

    Angeline struggled to get up. With her feet on the carpet, she tried to stand up twice but failed. Her legs were weak and sore from the night before.Then, she noticed she was in a silk camisole nightgown.She vaguely recalled Sean helping her change into it. No one else could have done it other than him. She picked up the water cup from the carpet and placed it on the nightstand. Supporting herself on the edge of the bed, she stood up.Her mouth was dry, and her throat parched as if it were on fire.She had accidentally knocked over the cup earlier, so she needed to go out to get water. Just as she grabbed the handle of the suite bedroom door and opened it a crack, a large hand grabbed her arm and pushed the door closed.Angeline, already weak and sore, fell into the arms of the man who was still damp from a shower. She turned around and, to her surprise, Sean was still there.Her eyes widened with shock."Sean, why… why are you still here?" she asked, a little anxious. If

    Sean was physically and mentally sated after a passionate night. He looked a lot less menacing than he'd been the night before.He gave Angeline another hard and deep kiss, almost making her run out of breath. At the same time, the passion and intimacy made her tingle all over. It made her heart race, and she felt weak.Sean's breathing was erratic, too. He said, "I'll talk to Brayden—your deal with him is off. I was willing to let Thomas off the hook for your sake. If not for that, even Brayden wouldn't have been able to take him away so easily."And so… you don't have to force yourself to marry Nathaniel. I don't want to see my wife marrying someone else.""It's too late." Angeline caught her breath and looked into his eyes. "You can see what things are like online now. If I don't marry Nathaniel, I'll get dragged into the mess between Ned and Ingrid. Those netizens will come after me again."Once Nathaniel and I are engaged and later married, I'll keep up my end of the bargain

    Angeline's tears finally fell as she spoke. Once the words were out of her mouth, she hugged her knees to her chest and tried to calm down. She wiped her tears and tucked her hair behind her ears. "Nathaniel and I signed a marriage contract for an alliance between the Lawson and Hooper families."That's why he proposed. After we marry, we'll live at Grand Court Residences, but I'll be on my floor, and he'll be on his. Things will be exactly the same as before! If I really wanted to marry someone else, I'd have a clean break with you beforehand. I wouldn't still be involved with you!"After that, she lifted the sheets and headed to the bathroom to wash her face. Sean stood before the bathroom and watched her. Her accusation that he was bullying her because he knew she had feelings for him had greatly appeased him. He had boundless patience for her now.When he saw her long hair slip over her shoulders as she bent over, he approached her and grabbed a scrunchie provided by the hotel.

    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
