Second Marriage to Mr. Rich (Ned Fletcher) novel Chapter 100

Gregory sincerely thought Ned was just a scumbag who had abandoned his wife.

At first, he refused to read the messages Ned sent him. However, he couldn't help himself.

Ned's message was simply to ask him to take care of Angeline. He inquired about Angeline's current condition and if she had aborted the child.

"What's wrong with him?"

Instead of replying to the message, Gregory locked his phone and tucked it into his pocket.

Gregory harbored a deep sense of dissatisfaction towards his cousin's character, whom he hadn't encountered in the past 20 years.

He felt disbelief at the thought of Ned forcing his wife he had just divorced to abort the child.

…

Angeline received a call from Sean in the afternoon.

"Are you returning home for lunch, or should the housekeeper bring it to the laboratory?"

Although posed as a question, Sean's voice did not leave room for any objections.

Angeline could hear the sound of documents being flipped through from Sean's side. She didn't expect him to take time out of his busy schedule to remind her to eat.

"I'll have it at the apartment," she replied.

She did not doubt that Sean would ask the housekeeper to send it over to the laboratory if she refused him.

Removing her lab coat, she greeted Marion before walking toward the apartment.

By the time she arrived, the housekeeper had already left. The dishes on the table looked appetizing. However, she didn't feel like eating.

Sean had come out of the bathroom after washing his hands just as she was puzzled by the two sets of utensils on the table.

Sean seemed to have come straight from the company. His vest and tie were immaculate.

Bending down, he casually placed his cufflinks at the corner of the table.

"You're back. Let's eat," he said.

Loosening his tie, he unbuttoned two buttons from his vest and walked toward the dining table. As he served Angeline some soup, he gestured for her to sit on his left.
