Second Marriage to Mr. Rich (Ned Fletcher)

Chapter 215

"Are you with my mom?" Xavier's youthful and steady voice came from the other end of the phone.

Sean looked back at Angeline and responded, "Yes."

"You'd better not bully my mom! I haven't accepted you as my and Yasmine's dad yet!" Xavier warned

"Alright. Rest assured. I won't bully your mom," Sean replied, a smile tugging at his lips.

Over Angeline’s phone, Yasmine waved at Angeline. "Mommy, you should rest early! I'll call you again tomorrow. Xavier? Where did he go?" Yasmine shouted, "Xavier, don't you want to say goodbye to mom?"

"Forget it. Xavier might have gone out. You and Xavier, be good, okay? I'll hang up now," Angeline said gently.

"Okay! Bye, Mommy."

After hanging up, Angeline clutched her phone tightly and met Sean's smiling eyes. He said, "Xavier called me, asking me to stay and take care of you.”

"No wonder he disappeared," Angeline replied while standing up with her phone in hand. "Can I sleep in the guest room tonight?" Sean asked. I'm fine. You don't need to stay just to take care of me..."

Sean took off his vest and draped it over his arm. He wasn't giving Angeline a chance to refuse. "I drank a bit too much, and I feel a bit dizzy. Are my clothes in the guest room?"

"Yes, they're still there." Angeline nodded "I'll go take a shower.” Sean decided as he approached the guest room

Angeline bit her lip as she felt a stinging sensation. She then realized Sean had caused her lips to swell with his kisses.

She couldn't le to herself. When Sean held hefin his embrace and kissed her, Re stirred intense S feelings wi withi n her. She felt that she had never resisted any of Sean's” kisses: His masculine scent and the wat temperature of his strong body always made her shiver uncontrollably.

Angeline recalled their first night together. Sean's defined hands were gripping the pillow. The veins on his arms were bulging as he pinned her against the door in the dark while he passionately kissed her.

She realized she needed to stop thinking about this.

Feeling her whole body heating up, Angeline rushed back to the master bedroom in her slippers, took her clothes, and showered in slightly cooler water.

Just after showering, she received a video call from Heather before she could dry her hair.

"Angeline, we sed the same reagents, andthe experimental data ~ keeps coming out different from al the data'produced by the quantum compater," Heather said with frustfation. "I don't know what’ the problem is." 4Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

‘lll take a look. Don't worry for now,’ Angeline reassured. Noticing the dark circles tunder Heather's eyes an the screéh, she added, "You havertt rested {or along time, have you? Go takeat nap. I'll watch the videq- experiment, and it's not toolate to Werk hard once we find the reason."

Heather took off her glasses and pinched the bridge of her nose tiredly. "Alright, I'll sleep for a bit. Let me know when you find the conclusion." "Okay, it's been tough on you in the lab in my absence,” Angeline said with a smile. After ending the video call, Angeline logged into the lab's monitoring system to review the experimental surveillance videos

Angeline pressed the pause button after watching the video for over an hour. She was about to make a cup of coffee to continue when she saw Sean making a phone call on the balcony.

Sean's hair, still damp and disheveled, hung before his eyes. He wore an unbuttoned shirt while leaning against the balcony railing with his long legs crossed.

There was a cigarette at the corner of his mouth. He held his phone with one hand while litting the cigarette with a lighter with the other.
