Second Marriage to Mr. Rich novel Chapter 224

Sean's gaze was intense. It felt as if he wanted to devour Angeline. With each passing moment, his desire grew more robust, filled with a predatory hunger. Angeline had no doubts that she might not survive the night if she admitted her feelings for Sean.

Her breathing steadied slightly. Then, Angeline said, "I'll consider it carefully and give you an answer at Mr. Lawson Senior's birthday banquet."

Sean's gaze was predatory as he looked at Angeline. He cradled the back of her head and initiated another kiss. Her head tilted back, causing her scalp to tingle. Yet, uncontrollably, her hands wrapped around his neck. She reciprocated his advances.

Suddenly, she found herself lifted off the ground. They didn't stop kissing. Sean held Angeline in his arms and allowed her to straddle him. He pressed her waist firmly against himself.

As Angeline noticed a subtle change in Sean, she clung to his shoulders. Her legs felt too weak to sit properly on his. She dodged his passionate kisses.

Her face turned thoroughly red while her heart raced uncontrollably. She avoided Sean's gaze.

Clearing her throat, she said, "I... I still have work to do."

Sean didn't reply. His Adam's apple bobbed slightly. He lifted his hand, then gathered her disheveled hair and tucked it behind her ear. The ear was red as if it would bleed. He kissed her ear as he tried to break through Angeline's resistance to his actions.

No one knew Sean was feeling uneasy deep down. He harbored a conviction, thinking that Angeline would ultimately choose to divorce him. If that were the case, he didn't want to miss any moment. He desired to fulfill his longing for Angeline now. Thus, he wanted nothing more than to be entwined with her until the end.

"Sean..." Angeline's fingers tightened on Sean's shirt. Her eyelashes were wet as her voice carried a sob. It was like the gentle scratch of a kitten's paw on one's heart.

She touched her sore lips. Then she stood up and noticed a note left by Sean by the bed. "I might return late tonight. Remember to eat and rest early."

She grabbed her phone and checked Danny's messages.

"Ned had promised to buy back all the formulas. He aimed to minimize the losses from the formula leak, and he hoped for lesser compensation."

Angeline locked her phone screen. She donned her robe, stood up slowly, and adjusted to the soreness in her legs. Then, she headed to the open kitchen for water. Leaning against the counter, she messaged Heather and suggested changing all the experimental equipment after each experiment.
