Chapter 350
“Mr. Lawson Senior, perhaps you should first hear what they have to say!” Asher requested on Sean and Angeline’s behalf.
“Let me ask you this…
Robert looked at Sean.
“Is Angie one of the reasons you want to leave the Lawsons and Lawson Global?
Apart from the reasons you gave me last time?”
“Yes.”
Sean didn’t hesitate.
Robert gripped his cane as he laughed.
“Wonderful, you two… Such a good stepson you are, and what a good granddaughter I have!”
Angeline paled when she saw Robert stumble backward with a hand to his chest. She and Asher immediately dashed over to hold him up.
“Granddad-“
Robert shook her hold off.
“Please, Mr. Lawson Senior, take a seat while I fetch your medicine.”
Asher helped Robert into a chair before rushing upstairs to retrieve his medicine.
Robert’s hand remained on his chest as he glared unblinkingly at Angeline before glaring at Sean.
“When did this start? How long have you been hiding this behind my back?”
“About four or five years…”
“Since 15 years ago…”
Both Angeline and Sean spoke up at the same time, but they had different answers.
Angeline was taken aback as she turned to look at Sean, who stood across from her. For Angeline, it started when Ned forced her to drink that doctored wine, which led her to sleep with Sean.
Meanwhile, for Sean, it began when the Fletchers adopted Angeline 15 years ago.
Robert was still shocked. All this while, he thought Sean’s concern toward Angeline was because she was biologically a Lawson. Sean had even advised him to bring Angeline back to live with the Lawsons.
Even when the Fletchers abandoned
Angeline in the hospital after her car accident, Sean was the one who looked after her. He would take. some time out of his schedule every week to stay with Angeline. Robert had thought that it was because Sean was grateful to the Lawsons for taking him in.
Robert was so frustrated that he laughed.
“You said it began 15 years ago, but she said it was five years ago. What now? Did
you both not discuss your cover story together?”
“I first fell in love with Angie 15 years ago,” Sean replied evenly.
“Back then, I paid people to watch over her. I helped her and even granted the
Fletchers a few favors because I thought that if I showed myself before her, Angie would never return to live with the Lawsons!
“But then… as watched Angie grow,
I gradually began to be drawn to her.
The more got to know her, the deeper fell for her. I knew I loved Angie from years ago. However 15 she was married to Ned then She wouldn’t have eyes for anyone else. And I just wanted her to be happy. I didn’t dare to think that I would one day be able to be with her.
Robert’s mouth fell open. After a while, he finally closed it.
“After Angie woke up from her coma and Ned lost his memories, he began to do everything in his power to force Angie to divorce him. He drugged her, and that was when we conceived Yasmine and Xavier.”
Robert shot up from his seat at that piece of information. He had always thought that Ned was Yasmine and Xavier’s father. He never expected that his adopted son, Sean, fathered them instead.
Robert now understood the reason
behind Sean and Angeline’s
marriage registration in Dmont.
Sean didn’t do it as a kindness on
behalf of the Lawson family. It was because he was Yasmine and Xavier’s biological father.
