Angeline closed her eyes, then opened them and said, "Riley, thank you!"As Angeline and Riley walked out of the cafe, Angeline saw Sean step out of the backseat of his sedan. Her steps slowed, and her eyes reddened again."Mr. Lawson!" Riley greeted Sean as he approached.Sean was dressed in a suit and didn't have his glasses on. He exuded the mature and steady demeanor of a businessman, though his deeply sunken eyes suggested fatigue."Angeline, get in the car." Sean gestured for Angeline to get in.With her fists clenched tightly at her side, Angeline recalled Robert's advice to stay away from Sean and the Lawsons.Riley tactfully said goodbye and left when he noticed Angeline's hesitation.Angeline looked at Sean before finally descending the steps and getting into the car with him.She knew she had to clear things up."Where are we going?" Angeline asked after enduring Sean's silence."We're almost there," Sean answered.The black sedan pulled up in front of an apartm
Angeline's heart raced. "No! We can't get married! The others view us as relatives. What would our marriage certificate mean? And what about the child? Do you want the child to grow up under constant scrutiny?"Angeline's emotions escalated before Sean could answer. "Or do you want to announce to everyone that we're unrelated? Then... What if information about my mom gets out? How would the Lawsons handle that? How would my mom handle it? No! I can't agree to this!"Besides, Sean was the Lawsons' future heir. Robert would undoubtedly find a suitable wife for him. She thought it impossible for her to have a relationship with Sean and the Lawsons."And... and..." Angeline lifted her head, her eyes red from crying. She met Sean's gaze. "My mom and dad... Those images keep replaying in my head. I'm scared! I never grew up in a normal family, nor did I ever receive parental love. I don't want my child to suffer the same hardships I did."Angeline spoke her true feelings. There w
Angeline's eyes widened in shock.Sean pressed his lips to hers. He was as dominant as before, taking her breath away.Her mind went blank. Sean's body pressed against hers, causing her to feel embarrassed.Angeline panicked and pushed him away with all her strength, but Sean pressed both of her hands against the door with one hand. He deepened the kiss.The feelings Sean had been holding back were released. He had replayed the scene of that night repeatedly in his mind.The greed and possessiveness he had never expressed before seemed to erupt after his confession.Despite Sean's usually calm and collected demeanor, his emotions always seemed to spiral out of control when it came to Angeline.When Angeline appeared to be out of breath, Sean finally freed her.Panting, Angeline looked at Sean. She was frozen.Without his glasses, Sean's features were strikingly aggressive, with deep-set eyes, a high nose bridge, and sharp facial contours.Neither of them spoke. The atmosphere
Angeline couldn't resist Sean. Her legs went weak, and her fingers clutching his shirt shook slightly."I… I can't think about that right now, Sean. Please don't do this to me. Both Anne and Henrietta are gone. I'm not in the mood to think about the future." Tears welled in her eyes as her words started to jumble."I promised Mr. Lawson Senior that I wouldn't have anything more to do with the Lawsons. I must keep my promise."Sean wiped away Angeline's tears. "I know, I know everything. Anne and Henrietta are gone, but have you ever considered that the child in your belly is also your family?""But we can't be together!" Angeline felt conflicted.She admitted that Sean was right. The child in her belly was her family. Especially after losing Anne and Henrietta, the child might be her only family now.But as soon as it involved Jessica, especially if Jessica's identity was at risk, she couldn't proceed.Besides, Robert and the Lawson family would never accept the child.Ev
Angeline's legs turned to mush. Her whole body trembled as she clutched onto Sean's shirt tightly. It was almost as if she was grasping at her only lifeline. Breathing erratically, she found herself to be utterly defenseless against him. Sean loosened his kiss on Angeline's swollen lips after a long while, just before he lost control of his terrifyingly deranged thoughts."Can we keep our child? Please?" Sean's voice was hoarse as he breathed heavily.Angeline's eyes reddened. "I… I need some time to think."Seeing that she had no plans of aborting the child just yet, Sean didn't want to push her too hard. Leaning down, he couldn't resist kissing her on the lips again. Although Angeline turned away, she still clutched at his clothes subconsciously. "I… I'm not ready to begin a new relationship yet. Don't do this…""Alright. I won't force you." Sean loosened his hold on her. His gaze darkened as he looked at her intensely. He placed his hands in his pockets to conceal
It felt like an invisible hand had gripped Ned's heart. He could barely even breathe.Ned clutched at his chest. He couldn't understand why he felt so sad."So, have you remembered the past?" Zachary asked. He felt a sense of delight as Ned held his chest with an unpleasant look on his face. As Zachary recalled all the things Ned had done to Angeline in the past two years, it felt as though she finally had her revenge.Ned had done so much harm to Angeline. Not only was he connected to Anne's death, but he had even bailed the main perpetrator of Henrietta's death out. Now, he was even going to send the culprit abroad.Did Ned regret it now that he had regained his memories?"No, I only remember that one fragment." Ned avoided his gaze.Zachary furrowed his brows. "The reason you fainted and got hospitalized… Was it because you suddenly recalled a fragment of your memories?" he asked."That's right," Ned replied with a frown."So, what are you planning to do now?" Zach
Ned was handsome with a sunny personality, while Angeline was beautiful and confident.Out of envy, Ingrid began to imitate Angeline subconsciously. She thought that she would be able to receive a passionate and crazed love like Angeline as long as she looked like her.That was until the three of them were enrolled in Oceanford College. Ned and Angeline got into a car accident. One of them ended up in a vegetative state, while the other lost their memories.Like a lowly thief, Ingrid stole Ned's love. She also experienced Ned's love, passionate enough to make everyone envious.Afraid that the others would say that Ned loved her because of her similarities with Angeline, she changed her image to the opposite of Angeline's. Yet, Ned's love for her grew by the day. It didn't decrease in the slightest because of her changes.Ingrid even felt that Ned loved her more than he did Angeline. Angeline and Ned would always fight when they were together. But Ned would always be the one
Angeline clenched her fist tightly. Whenever she thought of those videos and the things those demons had done to Henrietta…She wished they were all dead!She refused to let Tommy off the hook after instigating the incident. She wanted nothing more than to shred him apart.Angeline made her decision after weighing the options. "I can write the letter if they're prepared to speak the truth."Kevin nodded. "Alright. I'll discuss this with their parents now.""Thank you," she replied.Angeline went straight to the laboratory after she returned from the coffee shop. She couldn't afford to be idle now. Her mind would be swarmed with the images of Henrietta being abused whenever she was unoccupied.Angeline was the busiest person in the laboratory despite being pregnant. Knowing that she had something on her mind, everyone let her be. They assigned her tasks that challenged her intellect without exerting her physically.Angeline heard Sean's name when she left the laboratory to d
