Semua Bab Second Marriage to Mr. Rich: Bab 881 - Bab 890

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

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 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

"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

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
