Second Marriage to Mr. Rich
Chapter 145

Angeline's breathing quickened at Robert's suggestion.

She softly responded, "Okay."

After hanging up, joy crept into her eyes. Still, she carried the nervousness from her conversation with Robert.

"Mr. Lawson Senior said I could have dinner with Jessica tomorrow."

As soon as Angeline finished speaking, Sean's phone rang. It was a call from the Lawson family home. Robert's housekeeper, Sandy, informed him that Robert wished for him to attend dinner the next day. "Alright, I understand. I'll be back on time tomorrow," Sean said before hanging up.

He gestured for Angeline to sit.

"I also need to return home for dinner tomorrow."

Angeline paused. Then, she slowly approached him.

"I'll remind Yasmine not to address anyone randomly."

"What do you intend for my daughter to address me as?" Sean countered.

"Mr. Lawson, if that's okay?" Angeline proposed.

Then, she regretted her words and bit her cheek.

Years had passed, but Sean felt that Angeline was still the same as he remembered. She was comfortable with anyone except him.

He thought that perhaps it was because she had conceived the children with him under the influence of drugs. He believed she had always felt guilty, especially about having the children call him "Mr. Lawson". "Okay," Sean surprisingly agreed.

"Thank you," Angeline expressed her gratitude.

Sean moved closer to Angeline. He sat on the sofa's armrest and noticed her step back. He pulled her wrist and drew her close before caressing her slender wrist.

He said, "I know you haven't decided how to handle our relationship yet."

His deep gaze locked with hers.

"I know your conditions for returning to the Lawson family. You may go to Oceanford and attend to your affairs. As for the Lawson side of things... I'll announce my separation from the Lawson family once Lawson Global stabilizes."

Angeline's eyes widened, "No!"

"I've wanted to do this for many years but couldn't because Mr. Lawson Senior wouldn't let you return. It sounds ominous, but I was planning to bring you back to the Lawson family after Mr. Lawson Senior's passing," Sean explained calmly.

"Now that he's willing to accept you, I should split from the Lawson family. However, Lawson Global has only just successfully tackled photolithography machines and chips in the domestic semiconductor field over the past four years. They are currently holding a press conference. I can't leave at the moment.""

"You certainly can't leave Lawson Group!"

Angeline anxiously gripped Sean's arm, continuing, "The domestic success in lithography machines and chips is just the beginning. We must anticipate Marvonia selling their chips here. The influence of Lawson Global is yours to wield.

"You should use the company's and government's power to expand the chip production quickly. We can't let Marvonia profit from us. Moreover, we must advance domestic lithography and chip technology within six months to a year to break through Marvonia's semiconductor blockade.

"Only then can we succeed... You can't leave!"

With a gentle tug, Sean brought her close.

"Have you been very concerned about Lawson Global and me these past years?"

Angeline remained silent.

"Angeline, I know you care about me," Sean stated with certainty.

Meanwhile, Yasmine woke up in the bedroom. She rubbed her eyes and didn't see Angeline around anywhere. She climbed from the bed, tiptoed to the door, and opened it. "Mommy," Yasmine called out sleepily.

Her voice was soft and tender.
