Second Marriage to Mr. Rich Chapter 883
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
Second Marriage to Mr. Rich Chapter 884
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.

Angeline looked down. Her long lashes left shadows on her cheeks, making her look even more demure than usual. "I'll leave first. You should wait for an hour before you leave. You don't want anyone to catch you here."As she spoke, she walked to the couch to grab her bag. Then, she turned to leave without sparing Sean another glance. He hung up, flung his phone aside, and grabbed her wrist before she could go any further. He pulled her into his embrace.When their gazes met, Angeline had already concealed her earlier emotions. There was only a slight trace of surprise as she looked at Sean. She braced herself against his shoulders. Maybe she wasn't as good at Sean as keeping her emotions hidden, but she could still mask them well enough to avoid delays."Is it really okay for you not to hurry back to Melissa?" she asked.He didn't answer her, merely caressing the bones of her wrist gently. Angeline had sounded casual and light-hearted when she spoke, but there wasn't a hint of warm

Angeline was taken aback. "Melissa lost her memories?""She overheard my conversation with Mr. Lane and found out she hadn't been pregnant with my child. She rolled off the bed and was hit on the head by the medical instruments. After her surgery, she woke up without her memories."The doctor said it could be temporary, but there's a chance it could be for life." Sean sighed at the thought of Melissa's condition. "She's no different from a child now."This wasn't what Angeline had expected. Sean continued, "Thomas' sister's heart is beating in Melissa now. If he kills her, he'll be wiping all traces of his sister from this world. It's for everyone's good to make this matter end here. I don't want you to put yourself in danger over someone else anymore."She looked at him for a while before saying, "Don't you think it's pretty interesting? Ned lost his memories when I was with him, and Melissa's lost her memories now that you're married to her."Since when has something like amnesi

"So?" Sean's voice was beyond frosty. It was evident he was trying his best to keep his temper in check, but his mockery was clear. He stared into Angeline's eyes. "What are you trying to say?""If you were only my savior and not my lover, I would've done anything to make your request—or wish, I should say—for me to stop Tom from avenging Tina come true. I wouldn't put you in a tough spot." Angeline chuckled softly.She continued, "So, Shane… In which capacity are you asking me to make this matter end here? My lover or my savior?"She was giving him a choice. If Sean was coming to her as her lover, there was no way she would agree to his request. In fact, she would help Thomas with his revenge.But if Sean were to use his identity as Angeline's savior to get her to stop this, it would mean he was giving up on her and their relationship."Do you need to throw such a fuss over someone like Thomas Gardner?" He looked into her eyes."You drove right into me for Melissa's sake, didn't
Second Marriage to Mr. Rich Chapter 888
"Angeline, stop with the sarcasm," Sean snarled."I'm not being sarcastic. I'm just preparing myself for the eventuality of us being on opposite sides and you abandoning me," Angeline said. "I'm still really upset. I swear.""Would Melissa's presence bother you less if I were to stop objecting to your and Nathaniel's fake marriage?" Sean held her wrist tightly. "Angie… there isn't a choice between you and Melissa. You'll always be the only one I choose!"She blinked and asked, "What if I were to hurt Melissa?"He abruptly tightened his grip on her wrist, making her wince in pain. She looked down at his hand and said, "Take it easy. I was only joking. Unlike Tom, I'm not capable of hurting your precious sister. Now, please let go of my wrist—it hurts."Remember to be careful when you leave so that no one catches you. Even if people don't realize it's you, it'll still be bad for my reputation for a man who isn't Nathaniel to leave my hotel room right after I've gotten engaged to him
Second Marriage to Mr. Rich Chapter 889
During this period, Angeline had been forcing herself to keep these thoughts at bay. She'd done everything she could to keep busy so she wouldn't have time to think. She thought she could lie to herself as long as the thoughts didn't form in her mind.After all, she was the one who'd told Sean to do what he wanted to do without worrying about her. She was an adult now, and she had to bear the consequences of her choices. Still, none of that mattered with Sean coming all the way here and probing her on the very thing she didn't want to think about.Since he wanted to know the truth, she would rip open her wounds and show him the bloody flesh beneath. Angeline hadn't used herself to force Sean. At the same time, she wouldn't allow Sean to piss her off by using himself as an excuse.Sean gripped her head and pulled her to him, pressing his lips to hers and silencing the mouth that constantly said things to get on his nerves.Just then, his phone rang again. Angeline took the opportuni

Angeline wasn't resisting Sean or stopping him from holding her, and her voice was gentle. She wasn't throwing a hissy fit and was perfectly composed. It was as if she wouldn't be bothered if Sean chose Melissa over her. This pissed Sean more than if she were to ignore his calls and throw a tantrum.He tightened his grip on her wrist, his expression making it clear that he was trying his best to keep his anger at bay. After a while, he seemed to concede and said, "For this matter with Thomas, I'll go with what you want. We can both do what we need, but you need to know that I'll protect Melissa and Mr. Lane to the very end!""Mm-hmm." Angeline nodded. "I've always known that, and I haven't forgotten.""Don't be so sarcastic with me." Sean fixed her with a hard stare."How am I being sarcastic? I'm earnestly responding to you." She chuckled without averting her gaze from his. Then, she checked her watch and continued calmly, "Taylor and Jamie have been waiting at the door for a whil

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
