Second Marriage to Mr. Rich (Ned Fletcher) novel Chapter 136

At this moment, Sean struggled with intense emotions surging within him. He felt like his strong desire and longing for Angeline, which he had always suppressed out of fear of frightening her, should have been confessed to her long ago.

"I admit, when I decided to give up on Ned, I thought of just wrecking everything. So I drank that spiked drink, intending to sleep with someone else as he wished. But... I couldn't go through with it in the end," Angeline chuckled softly.

She added, "Because I still had Anne and Henrietta. Anne might not be my biological mother, but she did her best.

"She simply didn't know how to get close to me. So, she could only wait cautiously with Henrietta in the distance for me to approach them. That's why Ned was so important to me!"

Finally, Sean could hear the emotional turmoil in Angeline's voice.

"I was wrong! It was my obsession with Ned that led to Anne's death, to Henrietta's death, to... my children's deaths! But... I'm not the only one to blame."

Angeline's voice paused on the other end of the call.

She continued coldly, "I want all those responsible for their deaths to pay! To avenge them with my own hands! But I'm too weak now... I need the Lawson family to lend me their strength."

"I understand... and I get it," Sean said as he lowered his voice.

He took off his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose.

"But Angeline, when I registered our marriage, I never considered divorce. I'm sorry I lied to you. Marrying you was never just for the children. You have always been the one I wanted!"

There was a long silence from Angeline on the other end of the phone.
