Second Marriage to Mr. Rich
Chapter 105

"There's no problem then," said James while smiling at Angeline.

He continued, "Back then, my wife was deprived of opportunities because of pregnancy, so I won't let the same thing happen to you. As long as you feel physically fine, I believe in your abilities. "After all, there are no dangerous experiments at the conference, but... if you find it too challenging halfway through, I don't mind sending you back."

"Okay!" she exclaimed, grateful to James. "I won't let you down!"

"However, let me advise you this as an experienced person, being a single mother isn't easy. Since you're divorced, are you sure you still want to keep this child?" he asked, expressing his concern. Despite knowing that the professor might have also assumed that it was Ned's child, Angeline didn't bother to explain further.

She simply said, "My foster mother and sister are both gone, and their deaths were more or less because of me. This time... I don't want to kill any more of my loved ones."

James pursed his lips and patted her shoulders. "I understand. Go ahead then!"

Leaving the professor's office, she dialed Sean's number. She only needed a moment to gather the courage to decide to go abroad with James and give birth to the child. As the father of the child, Sean had the right to know about her plan.

The call connected, and she said, "I just talked to Professor Dickson. I'm planning to go overseas with him."

"Got it," he answered with a gentle voice. "I'll be in Cloudsville at 8:00 pm tonight. Let's meet at home. We need to come up with a detailed plan that you can accept."

Sean promised that if she didn't want to announce their marriage, he would try his utmost to protect the child and her privacy.

"I... want to keep the child with me," she said tentatively, not knowing whether she was going too far with her request.

"Okay, I respect your decision!" he responded without any hesitation as if he could agree to any request from her as long as she gave birth to this child.

As if coaxing a child, he continued, "Angie, I'm a bit busy right now. Can we talk about this tonight?"

"Okay, we'll talk again tonight."

After hanging up the phone, she felt inexplicably nervous. Perhaps it was because the person she had always admired and respected had forcibly kissed her and asked for her kisses in his apartment. Meeting again in that very apartment that night would inevitably be awkward for her.

News quickly spread in the laboratory, and everyone knew that James was planning to take Angeline and Gregory, the two juniors, to the conference.

Seeing the guilt in Angeline's eyes, Alva quickly hugged her shoulder and said, "Oh, it's not like we've never been to conferences with Professor Dickson before.

"To be honest, I really don't like those conferences. I'm relieved that the professor isn't getting me to go this time. We lab researchers hate dealing with people the most!"

She was not lying. The most common thing at conferences was dealing with people, which was very difficult for them as laboratory researchers.

After all, people who truly engaged in academic research would've invested almost all their energy into experiments. It was rare for them to be active in social activities.

Nodding, Marion also chimed in, "It was so boring the last time I went with Professor Dickson. I just sat in the back row and watched the professors argue with each other. Instead of wasting time quarreling, it'd be better if they ran more tests in the lab!

"I really don't understand Professor Dickson. If he could put all his energy into our experiments, we might have achieved some results long ago..."
