Second Marriage to Mr. Rich
Chapter 206

Before they arrived home, Angeline received a call from Sean telling her Jessica had woken up.

"She's currently mentally unstable. Probably because she was triggered earlier," Sean said. "She hid herself in a corner, not allowing anyone to go close to her, and she kept saying 'Don't hit me!"" Tears filled Angeline's eyes.

Emmerson Village had left a scar in Jessica's memory.

"Mommy," Yasmine said while snuggling into Angeline's embrace. "Was Beautiful Ms. Lawson bit by a snake before? Why was she so afraid of a rope?"

Jessica was afraid of a rope because it was her nightmare.

Since the day she was kidnapped into Emmerson Village, she had been tied with a rope even when she was giving birth.

Angeline hugged the kids tightly. "Everyone has a thing they fear. The same goes for Beautiful Ms. Lawson. So, Xavier and Yasmine should protect her in the future, okay?"

"Don't worry, Mommy. I'll do my best to protect Beautiful Ms. Lawson!" Yasmine reassured.

Once they had reached home, the kids dragged their luggage into their rooms to unpack.

Xavier looked at the date he found about Ned on his monitor. He even found some old information about Ned and Angeline's early romance.

Everyone called Xavier a genius, but now he knew his mother was once a genius, too.

Angeline gave up the opportunity to go straight to a doctorate from a bachelor's at Krontos University because of Ned. Yet he had the audacity to say that Angeline was a genius only because the others called her so. He even questioned how Angeline would raise Xavier and Yasmine.

Xavier wondered if Ned didn't know Angeline was the founder of Vitality Biotech Group.

"Looks like Mom's taste wasn't that good in the past, as she chose to be with a man with a brain problem. He's not even in the same league as Sean," Xavier thought.

It was the afternoon when the doorbell rang.

Angeline opened the door and saw Robert's assistant, Asher Millstone, standing outside.

"How was Jessica?" Angeline asked.

"Ms. Lawson felt better after waking up from the sedative," Asher replied. "She's looking for Yasmine and Xavier, so Mr. Lawson Senior asked me to bring the kids to her. Will that be okay?"

Angeline turned to look at Xavier and Yasmine, who were playing in the living room. She moved aside. "Come in and have a seat. I'll pack their stuff."

After a brief explanation to the kids,

Angeline handed Asher their

luggage. She knelt and kissed,

her

babies before she said, "Take good

care of Beautiful Ms. Lawson now."

"Don't worry, Mommy!" Yasmine hugged Angeline. "I'll take good care of Beautiful Ms. Lawson!"

After seeing the kids off, Angeline let out a long sigh.

She wondered if she was involved with Jessica's meltdown after seeing a rope.

She thought she shouldn't have shown up before Jessica.

Jessica had been doing well for so many years, but things changed when Angeline showed up.

Angeline wiped off the tears in the corner of her eyes and wished that the kids's company would make Jessica feel better.

Tomorrow would be the promised deadline with Vitality Biotech Group as per their contract with Fletcher Corporation.

Ned had invited Danny to have fun at

his clubhouse. Although Danny's assistant, Wesley Bowman, had accepted the invite, Danny didn't show up that night.
