Second Marriage to Mr. Rich
Chapter 216

Sean kept the lighter in his pocket when he saw Angeline. White smoke curled from his lips as he moved the cigarette aside and spoke into the phone. "Send it over as soon as possible." After hanging up, Sean began to button up his shirt from bottom to top.

The visual impact of the man with dark hair, deep-set eyes, high nose bridge, sharp jawline, the cigarette at his lips, and the slender fingers buttoning his shirt was intense and filled with tension. Angeline's heart beat rapidly again.

She cleared her throat and turned to enter the kitchen. Pouring coffee beans into the machine, she started brewing coffee for herself. Seeing Sean put out his cigarette and enter from the balcony, she asked, "Do you want some coffee?"

"Coffee at this hour?"

Sean placed his phone on the dining table and walked toward the open kitchen counter.

"The data from several experiments in the lab are all incorrect, but I can't find the reason. I need to stay up tonight to watch the experiment videos," Angeline explained. Remembering the phone call Sean had just made, she supported herself on the coffee machine and asked, "Do you also have matters to attend to in your company?" "My pajamas seem to be in the main bedroom. I thought you were resting, so I called Taylor to bring a set over."

Angeline looked at the fresh shirt and trousers Sean had changed and said, "Then I'll get your pajamas for you. No need to trouble Taylor to make a trip this late." As they brushed past each other, Sean suddenly reached out to pull Angeline toward him.

"Hmm?"

Angeline turned to look at Sean, only to find him staring at her hair and reaching out to touch it.

"Didn't you blow your hair dry?"

"I just finished showering and got a call from a colleague. I got caught up watching the videos..." Angeline touched her half-dry hair and smiled. "I'll go get your pajamas first, and then..." "Sean!" Angeline exclaimed as she found herself being lifted and seated on the counter.

"You don't have to rush to get the pajamas. Dry your hair first. Wait here."

Sean rolled up the sleeves of his

black shirt. As he was familiar with

the house, he took a hal

from

the cabinet under the guest

bathroom sink and dried Angeline's

hair.

Sitting on the counter, Angeline was at the perfect height. Sean's slender fingers combed through her long hair while gently drying it.

The kitchen was filled with the

aroma of coffee and the scent of Angeline's shampoo. She jumped down from the counter with one hand supporting herself. "I'll go get your pajamas."

"Thank you."

Angeline almost fled the open kitchen. Sean was standing at the main bedroom entrance when she came out of the wardrobe with Sean's pajamas.

She instinctively clutched Sean's pajamas and handed them to him. "Here's your pajamas."

For some reason, despite having shared the most intimate moments with Sean, Angeline still felt nervous under his gaze.

Sean reached for the pajamas but grabbed Angeline's wrist instead pulling her into his embrace. His large hand cradled the back of her head as his fingers threaded through her loose, dark hair.

"Sean..." Angeline's voice trembled slightly.

"I've told you my name." Sean's voice was deep. "I'm not a true Lawson family member."

"Shane Kingston?" Angeline asked.

"I'm here," Sean whispered as he lowered his head to kiss Angeline.

Angeline tightened her grip on Sean's sturdy arms. The pajamas dropped to the floor. Her lips parted again as Sean led her into the bedroom with unsteady steps in his embrace.
