Second Marriage to Mr. Rich Chapter 960
"Mom…" Angeline called out when she noticed Jessica not wearing a coat.She quickly draped her own coat over her mother and added, "Why aren't you asleep? Is there something wrong?""Are the kids asleep?" she asked with a gentle smile while adjusting the coat Angeline had placed over her shoulders.Her expression was warm and composed, showing no signs of her usual mental instability."Yes, they just fell asleep," Angeline replied with a grin.She could tell how much her mother adored the children. As Robert had mentioned, Jessica's episodes had significantly decreased since Xavier and Yasmine came into their lives."Then come with me! I have something for you," Jessica said happily, walking toward her room.After a few steps, she turned back to wave at Angeline, gesturing her to follow. Angeline closed the door and followed her mother. Seeing Jessica's cheerful demeanor, Angeline couldn't help but smile as well.When Angeline entered Jessica's room, she saw jewelry scattered a

Jessica felt Angeline's words made sense. She nodded happily. "Alright, then. I'll keep these safe for you!"Angeline helped Jessica put the jewelry away, then watched the latter get into bed. She tucked Jessica in before leaving the room. As she put on a cardigan and rubbed her arms, she couldn't stop her eyes from tearing a little. They were full of joy, though.It was good for Jessica that she didn't remember everything she'd experienced at Emmerson Village. Even if she only wanted to give Angeline the jewelry because she thought of Angeline as her adoptive daughter, at least Angeline meant something to her. It made Angeline happy.Angeline slept like a baby that night with Yasmine and Xavier in her arms. She only woke up when Sandy came to get them for breakfast.It was the day of Angeline and Nathaniel's engagement party. Sandy had already prepared Yasmine's and Xavier's clothes. They could change into them after breakfast."Remember to bring all three of the additional out

Jamie bent down to whisper to Angeline, "Get some rest, Ms. Lawson. I'll be waiting outside—call me if you need anything.""Alright." Angeline nodded.Shortly after the door swung shut, Angeline heard some rustling. She opened her eyes and watched in the mirror as Ingrid exited the bathroom. The latter wore a black tracksuit and had her hair tied into a ponytail. She also wore a baseball cap and a black mask.Angeline recognized her immediately, though. She wondered what Ingrid was doing there. Still, she remained calm as she looked at Ingrid in the mirror. "I don't remember inviting you to my engagement party, Ms. Dalton."Ingrid took off her mask, her eyes were very red. She'd never seen Angeline like this before.In the past, she'd always known that Angeline was beautiful—the type of beauty that shone in every aspect. She didn't need exquisite makeup or outfits. Even a bare face and the simplest outfit made her stand out among the crowd. No one could miss her.That day, An

Angeline only found Ingrid ridiculous when she saw the latter trembling with a manic look on her face. She showed no intention of moving from her spot before the mirror as she said, "It doesn't matter to me whether your blood is shed, Ingrid."Your life means nothing to me—what made you think of using it to threaten me?" The bodyguards stood before her, forming a protective wall. "In fact, let me remind you of something. You're a public figure, and you sneaked into my changing room with a knife."If you kill yourself here today, there are plenty of ways for the media to interpret this. Which one would you prefer?"Ingrid was close to breaking down when she saw how nonchalant and unfazed Angeline was. "I've already lost Ned, Angie. I can't lose my career, too… I came to beg you to speak up for me before the media."It's the only way to stop the people online from criticizing and insulting me and to stop me from being ostracized from the industry… Please, Angie. Please!" He

Ingrid almost lost her mind when she met Angeline's cool gaze. "Anne is the one who insisted on seeking Ned out so she could show him photos of him with you! If not for her tugging him, he wouldn't have pushed her!"She stubbornly wanted to help you take Ned away from me! It's not like I was the one who told her to look for Ned! What right do you have to blame me for that?""How about Henrietta, then? Do you have the nerve to say that you knew nothing about Tommy hiring people to bully her?" Angeline's expression darkened. "Henrietta died because you indulged in Tommy's whims!"After her death, you begged Ned to protect Tommy. Do you want me to list the number of laws you broke while trying to achieve that?"Angeline continued icily, "To you, your life is all that matters—you couldn't care less about whether others live or die. Since you're like that, why do you expect me to be a saint and lie to the media, saying that I forgive you?"I can hold myself back from pulling all

The knife that Ingrid had previously held to her neck was now sticking out of her chest. It seemed far from her heart and hadn't been stabbed too deeply. Still, it was a scary sight.Nathaniel hurriedly shielded Angeline and ushered her aside to make a path for the police to take Ingrid away. The police knew it was the day of Nathaniel and Angeline's engagement, so they left after saying a few words to Angeline.After all, she wasn't the one who'd harmed Ingrid. Ingrid herself had broken into Angeline's room and stabbed herself with the police watching. It had nothing to do with Angeline, so only Jamie, who'd called the police, had to head to the police station.Angeline followed Nathaniel to the banquet hall. Together, they toasted the guests and socialized.Robert had already heard about what had happened with Ingrid. When Angeline went over to give him a quick rundown on the incident, he couldn't help worrying something else would happen. He had the kids make a quick appearance

"But if that's the case, will your engagement with Kieron do anything to help the situation?" Angeline looked at Lara. She couldn't help reminding, "Even if you do get engaged to Kieron, your father might just see it as an alliance with the Steele family and nothing more."After all… we all know the chances of Kieron becoming the Steele family's heir aren't high." Angeline was being polite. All Kieron wanted to do was have fun and live a carefree life. He probably wasn't even on Harrison's list of potential heirs."Yeah, not everyone's as important as Sean was…" Lara gnashed her teeth. "But I don't have any other choice. It's not like there are any other men in your family! As for the Hooper family, Nathaniel's the only choice aside from those illegitimate sons. Now, if you were a man, I definitely would've gone after you!"Now that the Lawson and Hooper families were allied by marriage, everyone could tell that the leader of Krontos' four most prominent families would be

"Ms. Lawson said that in the past, too…" Sean smiled, his gaze landing on Angeline as she approached him and Nathaniel."Shane" didn't wear glasses, and the smile in his eyes was on full display. His gaze was somewhat provocative. It was different from Sean's usual level-headedness and gave everyone the impression that "Shane" was a promiscuous playboy.Robert's expression darkened. He knew what Sean was up to as soon as the latter had shown up. Sean was setting the foundation for his future with Angeline. He wanted to stand proudly beside her, so he used his face and identity as Shane Kingston to appear before everyone who knew Sean.With his face, everyone would understand why Dexter had accidentally killed Sean when Shane was his actual target.Since Shane, who'd escaped death thanks to Sean, had the nerve to show up here, no one would connect him to the late Sean Lawson. Some would even suspect that Sean was Shane's twin.Fortunately, Robert had already asked Asher to take Y

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
Second Marriage to Mr. Rich Chapter 1056
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
