Second Marriage to Mr. Rich (Ned Fletcher)

Chapter 95

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. Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

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.

Even if they secretly married, Robert might think it was a ploy for her to be a part of the Lawson family.

Sean was not the only one who owed Robert a debt of gratitude. Angeline did as well.

She couldn't go against Robert.

"How will I face Robert after giving birth to this child? What will the child call him? Granddad? Or..."

Angeline couldn't finish her sentence.

Sean was Robert's adopted son, and she was his granddaughter. Even if Robert disliked or neglected her, she was his granddaughter by blood.

"Sean..."

Angeline called his name, her voice choked with emotion as she asked, "Can you bring yourself to hurt Robert or the Lawsons?"

"You don't have to worry about that. We can marry in secret. If you don't want it to be public, then we don't have to make it public," Sean said, locking his eyes with her reddened ones while firmly holding the back of her head so she couldn't look away.

"We can get married abroad. When Professor Dickson leaves for the exchange program, you can go with him. No one knows you there. You can carry out your experiments while you have the child. I'll do everything I can to protect your privacy and ensure a normal life for you and the child.

"Don't reject me, Angie," Sean said, his eyes burning with passion.

"This child is ours—the best proof of our bond in this world!"

Sean's reserve seemed to have broken down since he made love to Angeline. He refused to let her reject him. He might resort to drastic measures to keep the child if she did.

The child would be the only link between them.

Angeline's pupils trembled as their eyes met. She sensed that Sean wanted her intensely and madly, even more than Ned had before.

"Sean..." Angeline called his name again.

She had forgotten to struggle.

Sean's fingers brushed the corners of Angeline's lips as he slowly leaned in.

He watched her reaction as he whispered, "Promise me, Angie."

He planted another kiss on her lips.

His warm body pressed her against the door with one hand cupping her neck and the other around her waist as though he wanted nothing more but to melt into her.
