Chapter 128

Angeline never expected Monica to know about her and Sean’s marriage registration. She obviously did not want Robert to find out. Angeline clenched her fist and asked, “Did you not investigate me in-depth, Ms. Scott?”
Monica smiled and remained silent.
She couldn’t deny that she hadn’t spent much time researching Angeline as she only stumbled upon their marriage registration by chance.
Moreover, Monica felt she was at a completely different level than Angeline. She didn’t think she needed to read too much about a commoner like Angeline. All she had to do was dismiss her away from Sean. “If you were to learn more about me, you’d know that I’m a relative of Mr. Lawson’s biological family-the kind that’s blood-related. I’m his only known relative in the world,” Angeline said.
Angeline had planned to keep her child with her and would divorce Sean once her child was born. Naturally, she would not want to cause any trouble for Sean.
Noticing Monica’s smile fading, Angeline slowly explained, “Don’t get me wrong, Ms. Scott. Sean and I are not seriously getting married. I’m sure you know that Mr. Lawson Senior does not want any ties with Mr. Lawson’s biological family. And Mr. Lawson had secretly been helping me for all these years.
“We’re only getting married because… You see, I’m pregnant. And I don’t want to abort the babies. I also don’t want to be involved in the children’s custody arrangement with their father. So, Mr. Lawson married me because he was helping me, considering the children are technically related to him, too.”
“So you never did abort the babies!”
Angeline and Monica turned around to the voice and saw Ned with a hardened expression. They didn’t know when he appeared in the café.
Ned had entered the café just when Angeline was explaining to Monica about her marriage to Sean because she didn’t want to get an abortion. Ned had overheard the conversation thus far. Angeline clenched her fist. She never thought Ned would arrive at this moment.
Ned walked toward Angeline and glared at her.
“Did you tell Gregory to lie about your abortion so that you can deliver the babies secretly?”
Monica looked at both Angeline and Ned. She soon realized the conflict between them and assumed Ned was the father of her child.
“Ned, we’re already divorced. Why are you still trying to barge in on my life?” Angeline said.
Ned dragged Angeline up from her seat.
“You’re pregnant with my babies, but you’re delivering them privately? I’m the one that should be asking you questions!”
“They are my babies! They have nothing to do with you! I’ve been telling you so many times. Do you not understand human language?”
Angeline lost her temper. Still, she hesitated to expand more in front of Monica.
Monica immediately signaled Lloyd to obstruct Ned from Angeline.
“Sir, that’s ungentlemanly of you to treat a lady this way,” Monica said with a smile.
“This is a problem between us. It had nothing to do with a stranger like you!” Ned shouted.
“I’m sorry. Ms. Emmerson is my guest. I can’t allow something to happen to her right before my eyes,” Monica said while grabbing her coat. “Let’s go, Ms. Emmerson. I’ll walk you out.”
