Second Marriage to Mr. Rich (Ned Fletcher)

Chapter 85

Gregory and Ned sat beside each other in the hospital ward.

In a hushed tone, Gregory asked, “Ned, is Angie’s baby… your love child?”

“Love child?” Ned retorted.

His brows drew together as he snapped, “She wa Iready pregnant before we were divorced!”

“Divorced?” Gregory exclaimed, his eyes widening in surprise.

“Wait… Angie’s been pregnant for two months, which means you got her pregnant before you divorced. But… you just proposed to your fiancée! Ned, you’re a scumbag!”

Staring at Angeline, who was still unconscious in bed, Ned glared at Gregory.

“You’re insufferable!”

Ned’s phone buzzed in his pocket. He took it out and glanced at it, frowning at Angeline. He got up and went outside to answer the call.

He reluctantly greeted, “Uncle Sean…”

“Don’t you realize that you’re already divorced from Angie?” Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Sean’s deep voice was laced with his dominance, causing Ned to glance around at his surroundings instinctively.

“I’ve already taken down the photos of you carrying Angie in your arms in front of the police station. Your successful proposal with Ingrid is still topping the headlines, and I don’t want Angie to be

caught between the two of you again. Go back to Oceanford now.”

Although Sean sounded composed, Ned was intimidated by his tone.

“Uncle Sean, my mom told me to bring Gregory here. He’s one of Angeline’s labmates. I was about to leave, but I…” he said in a strained voice before continuing, “I learned that Angie’s pregnant.”

Sean finally spoke after a moment of silence, “Come back now. I’ll deal with this.”

“But

Sean interrupted, “Or do you want the media to learn about your past with Angie?”

Ned pressed his lips together and weakly retorted, “But after all, Angie’s pregnant with my child.”

“She isn’t,” Sean snapped, his tone clearly growing impatient.

Although Angeline was drugged that night, Sean wasn’t. He was sure that she was a virgin when they slept together.

Thus, the child was his.

“She doesn’t have anything to do with you now, do you understand?” he warned gravely.

“Since you chose Ms. Dalton, quit dallying around with your ex. Don’t make it to the news. again and cause trouble for everyone!”

Eventually, Ned gave in after a brief silence.

“Right, I get it. I’ll head back to Oceanford at dawn. I’m sorry for having to trouble Angeline’s matter, Uncle Sean.”

Sean propped himself against the French window, gazing at the sunset. His expression was

indiscernible.

His features, gilded by the warm orange gleam, were reflected on the window. He seemed pensive.

Taylor knocked on the door, entering the room with his iPad.

He glanced at it, saying, “Mr. Lawson, we have an appointment with Mr. Manent at 7:30 pm tonight-”

“Call off the appointment,” Sean interrupted, turning around to grab his blazer on the couch.

He tossed it on and headed out.

“Mr. Lawson, what about your upcoming schedule?”

“We’re going back.”

Taylor was stunned. He grabbed Sean’s laptop and the other materials off the coffee table before darting after him.

“Mr. Lawson, but we have yet to secure the chip partnership. Mr. Lawson Senior said we must obtain the partnership since our company’s survival depends on it. We’ve been here for nearly a month, and we’ve finally managed to meet-

Sean opened the suite door, his tone steady and composed as he rebuked, “Do you genuinely think we can secure the partnership? Our company is still on Marvonia’s sanctions list. They won’t sell the chips to us. Get Hayden over here to pack our things. Inform the others to stop everything and return.”
