Chapter 461

Jesse was calm before his elusive crush from years ago, Angeline, who was way out of his league. The two sat by the floor-to-ceiling window facing the lake, with colorful night lights reflecting onto the transparent glass and casting onto Angeline's natural, fair cheeks. She was so gorgeous that one wouldn't take their eyes off her. "To tell you the truth, I was a little nervous and still feel a lingering fear now when meeting you." Jesse's ears reddened. Despite his efforts to remain calm and behave naturally, his micro-expressions showed his nervousness. "After all, I know how different we are," Jesse said. "When we were young, you were always the champion in every competition you participated in. Not only was your gorgeous appearance unforgettable, but your resume was out of our reach. "In just a few years, you've founded Vitality Biotech Group. You've also secured a huge collaboration project for Lawson Global so soon after you joined them. You've always had countless h

"How do you know I'm obsessed with you if you don't give me a chance?" Jesse asked in urgency. "You might still be recovering from your relationship with Ned, but trust me! Just give me three months. If you think we're not for each other, I'll give up on you then." At the sight of Angeline's unchanged expression and sensing she was about to speak, Jesse quickly interrupted, "One month! Just one month is enough! Even if I'm not the one, Mr. Lawson Senior will still arrange another man for you. I'm sure they'll waste your time, and you'll meet them half-heartedly."Trust me, Angie. We can remain friends for a month, and I won't cross the line. That's all I want." "I'm sorry, Mr. Zinn. But I already have someone I like. It's just that Granddad doesn't want me to be with him, so he arranged our blind date today. I'm so sorry for wasting your time," Angeline said. "But are you two officially dating? If you haven't made it public, you're not officially together. Why not just give me

Sean and Angeline's seats were facing each other. She could see from the corner of her eyes that Sean was talking to the person sitting opposite him, but he never looked at Angeline. Angeline remained in her seat as she looked at Sean, who was smiling while talking to Jesse. She sipped her water and checked her phone to suppress her emotions. Although it was only a few days, to Angeline, it felt like months had passed since she last saw Sean. Angeline's last few days were torturous as she missed Sean's scent, embrace, and breathtaking kisses. But her heart sank a little when she recalled Sean walking away without stopping when she tried to hug him at Steele Group's resort villa. Angeline thought she had controlled her emotions very well, but she couldn't reach Sean's level of flexibility in emotional management. Despite their relationship becoming awkward because of Angeline's request for Sean to control himself, and even if Angeline thought she was greedy for wanting to ha

"There's something I need to do tonight," Sean said calmly. Even if Angeline was thick-skinned, Sean's stern reply still saddened her. She awkwardly nodded and returned to her table. Jesse smiled at Angeline. "What a coincidence! I didn't expect to see Mr. Lawson here." Angeline pressed her lips without a reply. Jesse remembered that both Sean and Angeline had been adopted by Robert and assumed Angeline was nervous because her family had caught her seeing a man. "Mr. Lawson is considered your uncle, isn't he?" "Yeah," Angeline replied before sipping her wine. "I've told him about our blind date set up by Mr. Lawson Senior. So don't worry about it," Jesse said with a smile. "Mr. Lawson mentioned you founded Vitality Biotech Group because you enjoy academic research. There should be a lot we can talk about." "Is that so?" Angeline finally smiled. "Who would've thought my uncle knows a lot about me." Jesse felt delighted after seeing Angeline's smile. He asked,

Chapter 465

Angeline coincidentally saw Ned exiting his car as she arrived downstairs of her apartment. Ned appeared to be in a rush as he still had a lit cigarette between his fingers. At the sight of Angeline looking at him with her brows furrowed, he quickly threw the cigarette to the ground and extinguished it with the tip of his shoes. Ned went up the steps and held the elevator door open for Angeline after successfully unlocking the door. Angeline followed up the steps in confusion while staring at Ned, who was like a doorman waiting for his guest. "How did you…" "I live on the fourth floor," Ned explained. "Listen, I understand what you told me last time. There's Anne and Henrietta's death standing in between us. I understand. I understand it all. I won't ask for your forgiveness just like this." Ned was tall and slender, so he looked down at Angeline as he held the door open for her. Despite that, he had a lowly presence, with his eyes red and a lump in his throat. Ned was

Angeline bit her lips. "Ms. Angeline, please be considerate of Mr. Lawson Senior," Asher said. "This is already his mildest means! You can not date the men, but you must go on the blind dates. You really shouldn't force Mr. Lawson Senior to take drastic actions. Not only will it be bad for you and Sean, but it may also affect your relationship with Mr. Lawson Senior. "Besides, angering Mr. Lawson Senior may affect his health too. You've seen his medical report. It's best if he isn't angered anymore." Angeline felt defeated and lay back on the couch. She covered her eyes with the back of her hand to obstruct the lights from her view. Asher understood Robert the most. Naturally, he would know what Robert was plotting. Regardless of whether these blind dates could increase the friction between Angeline and Sean, they could take up most of Angeline's time. After all, Robert knew how busy the work at Lawson Global was. If Sean wasn't in a meeting or on a business trip, then he

Ned was about to move forward, but Lenny blocked him. He shouted, "Angie, I brought you some hangover soup." "Don't do unnecessary things, Ned. I don't need it. Lenny, you can leave after you send Ned out," Angeline said before hanging up and walking back to the couch to continue checking her schedule. After confirming her clear schedule for the next morning, Angeline leaned back into the couch. She wondered how long Sean would continue with the silent treatment. Angeline had never felt this uncomfortable before, even when she had poured her heart out to Ned when they were together. She closed her eyes while leaning on the couch. After a while, she impulsively got up to get changed and randomly grabbed a document from her bag. She then retrieved her car key and headed down after checking the surveillance camera to confirm both Lenny and Ned weren't at the door. After leaving her parking area and confirming no one was following, Angeline stepped on the pedal and drove off

"Oh, okay…" Angeline gripped the steering wheel. "Sorry to bother you. I'm hanging up." But before Angeline could end the call, Sean asked, "Why are you calling me with Lucy's phone?" "I left my phone at home," Angeline answered. "It's fine. I'm heading back now." "Are you alone?" Sean's eyebrows furrowed. He recalled Angeline had a lot to drink at the restaurant earlier that day. Before Angeline could answer, Sean continued, "I won't be home tonight. You can spend the night in the manor." "It's fine. Don't bother."Angeline sounded hoarse. "I'm hanging up now." She returned the phone and thanked Lucy after hanging up. She drove out of the neighborhood and stopped by the side of the road. She noticed a lit convenience store with a poster stating, "Facial recognition payment system available". So Angeline exited the car and bought a bottle of cold water. She left the convenience store and drank the water at the entrance. She was contemplating if she should par

Before Angeline got in the taxi, Sean's car stopped at the opposite side of the road. Sean stepped out of his car with a sullen face. He slammed the door closed and walked toward Angeline while trying to suppress his anger. Angeline released the door handle and apologized to the taxi driver before shutting the door. She didn't know it took Sean 12 minutes to rush from Night Palace to the neighborhood of his manor while running the red lights. Even the phone call was to stop Angeline from leaving. She saw Sean, who wasn't wearing his glasses and had his lips pursed. She was about to say something, but tears flooded her eyes uncontrollably. "Give me the documents," Sean said. "We still have to put on an act." Angeline handed the documents to Sean. She smelled alcohol and tobacco on his body and asked worriedly, "Were-were you drunk driving?" While flipping through the documents, Sean said, "I was already on the way home. I had the designated driver drop me off at the

Angeline tried to catch her breath with her eyes closed. She stopped kissing Sean and leaned her forehead against his. Her hand and icy fingers, which were cradling Sean's head, slowly and weakly fell onto his shoulder. She tried to suppress her tears but couldn't stop her body from trembling. Amidst the darkness, Angeline stopped constraining Sean. She didn't even open her eyes to look at him. Even though they were kissing and Angeline was sitting on Sean's lap with their bodies close to one another, she couldn't sense Sean's usual passion. His cold demeanor sent shivers down her spine. After a moment of silence, Angeline said hoarsely, "Are you giving me the silent treatment?" "Silent treatment?" Sean chuckled. He stood up while holding Angeline's waist and separated himself from her with his hands on her shoulders. "You told me to control myself like I used to, yet you're unhappy with it. So, tell me what you want, Angeline?" Sean's deep-set eyes showed a bit of drun
