Chapter 403

Angeline raised her head and wrapped her arms around Sean’s neck to accept his kiss. She could feel that Sean was more gentle and caring this time, as his kiss was slow and tender on her swollen lips, without the crazy possessiveness from the night before.

While kissing, Sean combed Angeline’s long, flowing hair with his fingers.

“Xavier and Yasmine sent you a lot of videos last night. I’ve replied to them for you,” Sean said. “Xavier had chosen six home tutors, who are all experienced in their field. He had sent you all their details too.

“Mr. Millstone was going to ask for your opinions, but I’ve replied on your behalf after going through the details myself. You can recheck them if you’re not at the office today.”

“Alright, I’ll have a look later,” Angeline replied as her hand slid from Sean’s neck to his strong arm. She looked up at Sean with her eyes, which were red either from lack of sleep or shyness from the kiss earlier. “Can I ask? Who drugged you last night?”

Angeline believed Sean wasn’t a careless man. Instead, she knew there was nothing that could escape his eyes.

Sean couldn’t be honest and tell Angeline it was Brayden. He gently kissed her and said, “It wasn’t a big deal. I just accidentally drank someone else’s drink for livening things up.”

“Then, if you didn’t want to go to the hospital, why didn’t you call me?” Angeline asked.

Angeline knew Sean had kept a positive image to the public. If the news of him going to the hospital because he drank a drugged drink went out, it would be bad for the company’s image.

Sean could’ve called her to come home quickly to help him, though. She wondered why he would endure the pain and take a cold shower to calm himself.

Angeline had a similar experience before. She knew that being drugged was agonizing. It felt like getting bitten by thousands of ants.

Angeline didn’t know how long Sean had been in the cold shower, but she could remember how cold his body was.

“I was worried that I might harm you because of the drug. But then…” Sean stopped and looked at Angeline with his lips pressed.

He lost control of himself when he heard Angeline.

“I’m sorry. It ended up hurting you.” Sean had always been worried about losing control before Angeline.

But Sean did last night, probably

because Angeline was

overpassionate and allowing him to

have his way of soothing the pain of

the dr

or it was because the drug

had enhanced the dirty desire hidden deep beneath his heart.

Sean knew that he would lose control of himself one day.

He thought he would just be on the brink of losing it, at least before he gave up his identity as Sean Lawson.

“I have to go out for a bit after our meal later,” Sean said to Angeline before leaning closer. “I should be back pretty soon. You should get some rest.

“And let me know if you don’t feel well. I’ll ask our family doctor to have a look at you. I’ll tell the housekeeper to take her day off later so she won’t disturb your rest.”

“Are you going to see Brayden?” Angeline asked.

Sean was slightly startled but wasn’t surprised. “Did you meet Brayden?”

Angeline nodded. “I saw him in the elevator yesterday. She told me you’re hurt.”

Angeline just connected the dot earlier. After all, she was forced onto the bed by Sean as soon as she had arrived home the day before.

“Now I think about it. Brayden was smiling when he told me you were hurt, which means he knew you were drugged,” Angeline explained. “You’ve always been very cautious. It

would take someone you trust to be able to drug you.

“The only person I could think of is either Mr. Powell or Brayden. But given Brayden

was the one who knew the most secret about you, it wouldn’t be Mr. Powell.”
