Second Marriage to Mr. Rich (Ned Fletcher) novel Chapter 2

Angeline had a slim and petite figure. Even the winter jacket of the smallest size seemed too big for her. Her pale and sickly face was hidden by a long white scarf tied around her neck. Because she was so slim, her eyes looked huge. 

She stared at Ned and said, “I’ve already made a police report regarding your spiked drink at the event and your spreading of my nudes for revenge.” 

Hearing this, everyone’s reactions differed from one another. 

The couple sitting in the farthest corner with a wine glass in each of their hands exchanged glances. Panic was written in their eyes. 

The woman put down her glass and walked toward Angeline. She slinked her hands around Angeline’s arm and said, “Angie, Ned only spread your photos because he was too angry. Don’t you think making a police report is making a mountain out of a molehill? It’s going to affect Ned’s future! 

“Also, Ned’s father has already managed to suppress the news. Don’t hold it against him anymore.” 

Angeline didn’t respond to the woman. She continued saying, “Ned Fletcher, it’s true that I wanted to try rekindling our relationship, but I would never have stooped so low as to spike your drink and force you to have sex with me. And with your authority, you know very well that finding out the truth is as easy as snapping your fingers.” 

However, he still wholly believed that Angeline was the one behind his drugging incident. 

He believed it despite knowing the fact that Angeline was traumatized by sex because of what happened when she was still very young. 

“I didn’t want to let go of this relationship because I was worried that the Ned I knew would return someday and blame me for giving up on him so easily,” Angeline said, carefully shaking herself free from the woman’s grip. 

She then placed the divorce agreement she’d been hugging onto the table. “I tried my best, but I’m tired now. Ned Fletcher, I’m giving up on you. I don’t want you anymore.” 

Ned’s eyes traveled from the divorce agreement to Angeline’s face. There was a hint of surprise in his cold eyes. 

“Let’s finalize the divorce after the police have cleared my name and you have publicly apologized to me.” 

It was painful for her to give up on their relationship. It felt as if Angeline was losing a huge part of herself. It hurt so much that she felt like death. 

After all, ever since she was born, Ned was the one who had shown her what happiness truly was. Giving up on him felt like giving up her entire world.
