Second Marriage to Mr. Rich (Ned Fletcher) novel Chapter 108

Like a guide, Sean took Angeline's hand and placed it on his shoulder. Just as she was about to withdraw her hand, her lips were pried open by his mouth.

Taken aback, she instantly grabbed his broad shoulders, feeling almost paralyzed.

He held the back of her head and deepened the kiss, forcefully taking her breath and occupying her mouth. Gradually, he began to kiss her without restraint.

Her strength seemed to be taken away by him, her whole body turning soft. She trembled uncontrollably as she tried to clutch onto him. Unable to get a hold of his shoulder, her hand slipped down to his arm instead.

The sound of their hastened kisses echoed, making her blush.

Suddenly, Sean's phone rang in the quiet and dark living room, interrupting the intimacy in the air. His lips parted from Angeline's, and he breathed heavily.

The call had come at the wrong time. He couldn't help but feel annoyed. But if it weren't for the ringing, he might not have been able to control himself from devouring her.

She tried to get up from his lap, her heart pounding wildly, but he held her down and said, "It's too dark. Be careful not to bump into anything."

While supporting her, he reached for his phone and saw that the call was from Taylor.

Controlling his breath, he answered, "Speak…"

Taylor reported, "Mr. Lawson, there's been an explosion at the power plant in the southern suburbs. The entire power system there is down, and it's not clear when power will be restored.

"There are fully charged emergency lights in the utility room on the left side as you enter your apartment, second shelf from the top."

"Got it."

Hanging up the phone, Sean said to Angeline, "There's been an explosion at the power plant in the southern suburbs. The whole area is experiencing a blackout now.

"You'll have to use the stairs all the way from the top floor if you want to go back to the dormitory, and there are no street lights on the way back. Listen to me and stay here tonight."

With that, he casually threw the phone aside and carried her to the bedroom.
