Chapter 356
“Fine! It’s just brilliant that you both have your own ideas and plans! Who cares about the Lawson family and an old man like me?” Robert stormed before shutting
his eyes.
“Go with him then! I don’t want to see any either of you right now…”
Emotionally, he could not tolerate seeing his son and granddaughter together. He’d only be able to endure it if he lost his mind.
Rationally, Sean, burdened with hatred, was even less qualified to be his grandson- in-law. After all, he might even drag Angeline into trouble with a slight misstep.
When Sean decided to leave the Lawson family, Robert was destined to lose this son. He didn’t want to lose his granddaughter as well, let alone bring danger to his daughter and two great-grandchildren.
Robert couldn’t accept this.
Moreover, Angeline had a history of being lovesick. Back then, when she was with Ned, she was willing to sacrifice everything, even refusing an invitation to the prestigious Krontos University, just to be with him.
“Granddad…”
“Get out! Take Sean with you and leave my house!” he yelled, turning away without sparing her another look.
Asher, who had been standing outside the door the whole time, quietly pushed the door open a crack and gestured to Angeline to leave first, but she refused to do so.
She looked at Robert and gently said, “Granddad, I know you’re angry right now. I also know that my past actions, especially when I was with Ned, disappointed you a lot.
“But at that time, I had nothing else but Ned! Granddad… I was going to end my life when I first rescued Ned.”
Robert tightened his grip on the cane and turned to look at her, his pupils trembling slightly.
Angeline continued, “Life was
meaningless to me at the time. I wasn’t born into this world with my parents blessings like other, children. Instead, I was living evidence of a beast bullying my mother. sŵnovels

“The year I lived with Anne was the happiest year of my life, though I’d miss my mom sometimes. But Anne was in imminent danger then and couldn’t care for me.
“I could only be taken back to a place like Emmerson Village. I could already see my bleak future back then, so I felt there was no meaning in living!”
Revealing her emotional scars to Robert, she said, “Ned’s accident actually stopped me from ending my life. Later, when he took me back to the Fletcher family, he was so caring…
“His fondness and love for me kept me going because I had nothing. That was why Ned became my everything. I loved him even more than my own life.”
Robert’s breath became slightly rapid. He had no idea that Angeline had ever considered suicide, let alone the beginning of Ned’s significance to her.
“But now it’s different, Granddad. Yes, I love Sean with all my heart but… I still have you, Mom, Xavier,
and Yasmine You are all more
important to me than my own life. Please believe me.”
Angeline sobbed, tears falling like broken beads.
Looking into her eyes, which looked similar to his daughter’s, Robert clutched his
cane forcefully and eventually said, “The both of you, go…”

Unable to discern the meaning behind his lowered tone, she nodded and said, “I will handle these matters well and I will make sure that! danger comes near anyone in the Lawson family. Granddad I can do it!
