Second Marriage to Mr. Rich
Chapter 153

The unease Ingrid felt grew more intense when she learned that Ned had regained some of his memories.

"Angeline is already married, and the young girl might just be tall for her age."

Ingrid tried to calm her rapid breathing and steady her emotions. She supported Sherryn on the other side.

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Fletcher. We were too late to buy the Silver Petals you wanted. I'll keep looking for a florist willing to sell."

Sherryn was not in the mood to talk about the flower now. Her mind was filled with Yasmine. Yasmine resembled Angeline so much when she was young. She wondered how, if the little girl was Ned's child, she could let her granddaughter wander outside.

Angeline drove with Yasmine to the entrance of the old Lawson residence. She looked back at Yasmine, sitting obediently in the car seat.

Yasmine immediately raised her hands above her head and made a heart shape at Angeline.

"Mommy, love you!"

Angeline was amused by Yasmine and gathered the courage to lightly step on the gas pedal, driving the car to the front door.

She rolled down the car window and pressed the doorbell. The intercom connected.

"Hello, who is it?"

"Hello, I am... Angeline. I made an appointment with Mr. Lawson Senior to bring the child to visit him today."

"Okay. Please wait a moment. I'll open the door for you."

The beautiful iron gates slowly opened shortly after. At the end of the road was a castle-like building.

"Wow... Mr. Lawson Senior didn't lie. His house really does have a big castle!" Yasmine exclaimed.

Angeline's hands were sweaty on the steering wheel. She drove slowly into the residence. It had been over a decade. She was about to meet her birth mother again.

She wondered if Jessica would recognize her. Angeline preferred she wouldn't be able to. She'd rather Jessica see her only as Yasmine's mother. This way, she wouldn't need to recall her painful past with the Emmerson family.

Robert was dressed casually. He used a cane to walk. Sandy helped Jessica welcome Yasmine and Angeline.

Robert had instructed Sandy to take Jessica back inside if she reacted poorly. Meeting Jessica was a risky move for Angeline.

Jessica's mental state had only stabilized recently. But Robert acknowledged Angeline's excellence and hard work. He knew his time was limited and decided it was good for Angeline to become Angeline Lawson again. He thought it was good for her to meet Jessica sooner.

Robert didn't see Angeline's car from afar. He saw the security guard's electric vehicle instead. It was approaching with Yasmine and her luggage.

"What's happening?" Robert asked.

"Sir, it's a call from Ms. Emmerson," the guard said.

He handed the phone to Robert.

"Didn't I invite you for dinner?" Robert asked on the phone.

"Robert, thank you for this opportunity," Angeline said.

Her voice was choked.

"When I saw those iron gates open, I knew. You opened the way for me to go back to my mother. I love her very much. I long to be by her side. But I dare not take the risk. I don't want to make her recall the hel of a life with the Emmersons again. I'm sorry!"

Angeline's car was parked by the roadside. She held the phone in her hand as tears streamed down her face.
