Second Marriage to Mr. Rich (Ned Fletcher) novel Chapter 143

Unlike Xavier, who was more composed, Yasmine had a way with words and was adept at charming those around her. Robert would often bring Jessica to visit the children abroad. Whenever the children were around, Jessica's smile would become more common.

Consequently, Robert regularly arranged for Paul to take Yasmine and Xavier to live in a climate-friendly city for a short period. They would spend time with him and Jessica.

Although Yasmine was unaware of the relationship between Angeline, Robert, and Jessica, the perceptive Xavier had already figured they were relatives.

Both children felt the unabashed affection from Robert and Jessica. They naturally grew fond of them.

However, Angeline dared not show herself before Jessica. She felt content just watching her play with Yasmine from a distance.

Sean came to a realization.

He realized Jessica's mental state had fluctuated over the years. Following a psychologist's advice, Robert had Jessica start keeping small animals as companions. Later, he frequently took Jessica out of the country under the guise of relaxation. However, the real reason was to visit the children.

"Mr. Lawson Senior always assumed the twins were Ned's," Angeline said softly while clutching the hem of her clothing.

"I never corrected him. Mr. Lawson Senior's health hasn't been good these past years, and I worry the truth might overwhelm him."

Angeline understood the importance Robert placed on the family's honor through their interactions.

Sean instinctively tightened his grip on the steering wheel as he pressed his lips together.

Angeline's words were full of meaning, and he picked up on it.

"Are you responding to my confession from four years ago?" Sean asked straightforwardly.
