Ingrid's panic was hidden behind her sunglasses, especially when she laid eyes on the child. Her grip tightened unconsciously, which hurt Sherryn so much that it brought her back to her senses.Although Angeline didn't expect to see them here, she did not avoid them. Regardless of the Fletcher family's reason for letting her stay with them in the past, they had taken her in nevertheless.Although Ned's parents were often away on business, they always included a gift for her when they returned for the holidays. Their estrangement later on was because of Ned. Angeline's last memory of meeting Ned's mother, Sherryn, was unpleasant. Sherryn had hysterically accused Angeline of holding on to Ned, who had lost his memory. She pleaded with Angeline to stop disrupting his life and felt that Ingrid's status was unworthy of her son. She commanded Angeline to find a way to separate Ingrid from Ned as a way to repay them for the many years of shelter they provided.At that time, Sherryn pro

Angeline was already happy when the doors opened. Robert pressed his lips together. He turned back and saw Jesicca moving forward, smiling.She lifted Yasmine from the electric car. Yasmine hugged Jessica's legs tightly. She looked up and pretended to be shy, rubbing her plump little face affectionately against Jessica as she expressed her longing.Yasmine pointed at the Silver Petals. She told Jessica she liked flowers and had picked them out with Angeline that morning. She expected Jessica to enjoy it at first sight. Yasmine looked proud and sought Jessica's praise.The housekeepers came out to greet them. The group was laughing together. "You're so considerate of Jessica. I'm relieved," said Robert gravely. "But this is not your fault. I lost my daughter first. I gave the villains an opportunity. Without you... Jessica could not have escaped. She might not even be here anymore."Robert was sincere in saying those words. He had never shared them with anyone. The residents o

Ned was unsure of himself. He didn't know how he'd handle his relationship with Angeline if he learned that the girl was his daughter."Right, I'll visit you in Cloudsville tomorrow before heading back to Oceanford," Angeline said, laughing as she spoke on the phone with James. "I'll go straight to the lab, okay?""Great!" James responded cheerfully. "I won't tell them. You can give them a big surprise. Tomorrow is the alumni exchange meeting at Cloudsville College. Many scholars who graduated from Cloudsville College will be back. I'll introduce you. You might find their help useful later on!"Angeline smiled warmly at the thought of her seniors like Reese, Marion, and Alva."These years, it's because of your help and Professor Sharpe's that Vitality Biotech has reached its current state. James... Thank you." Angeline sincerely gave her thanks."What's with the formalities? We put in the effort, but you've rewarded us generously!" James laughed. "The anonymous donation

Angeline's mind went blank for a moment. A familiar yet unfamiliar masculine scent enveloped her, tinged with a faint smell of alcohol. The kiss wasn't deep, but Angeline felt as though she was suffocating.As Angeline grew lost in thought, Sean released her lips and rested his forehead against hers. "Is that okay?" he asked. His rich, deep voice filled her ears, causing her to heat up."W-what?" Angeline spoke with a trembling voice.Sean lifted his hand to touch her delicate, fair cheek. He caressed her lips with his thumb and asked, "May I kiss you?" Without waiting for Angeline's response, he pressed his thin lips on hers again.His breath, mixed with alcohol, filled her lungs and clouded her mind. She felt her face burn up. She panicked, pushed him away, and turned her head. "You're drunk!" she exclaimed.Just as she pushed him away slightly, Sean grabbed both of her wrists from behind with one hand. He sealed her lips again, pressing her waist toward him with the a

Angeline's lip hurt at the slightest touch. Sean asked her to sit down. Then, he opened a bottle of distilled water and moistened a cotton ball to clean up the traces of blood.They were in such proximity that Angeline could see Sean's long eyelashes. Her breathing became uneven again as she looked away."Sorry!" they both spoke at the same time.Sean couldn't help but lean in closer as he looked at Angeline's expression. Angeline hugged her laptop to her chest and moved back. "I… My lip is split," she said."Yes, I know," Sean replied. He fixed his deep eyes on hers before leaning in again to kiss her gently on the lip, caressing the corner of her mouth tenderly. "Sorry, I'll be more careful next time."Angeline stood up with her laptop and hurriedly said goodnight before fleeing to the master bedroom.She had to return to Cloudsville early the next morning but struggled to fall asleep. Closing her eyes brought back the image of kissing Sean. Touching her swollen lip insta
