Second Marriage to Mr. Rich
Chapter 238

"Do you know that photos of you and Simon went viral tonight?" Sean asked.

Puzzled, Angeline was about to check her phone when he stopped her and said, "I've already had them take all the photos down."

Sean was irritated at the photos of Simon cutting steak for her, putting a coat on her after exiting a Michelin restaurant, and escorting her to her car.

"Cutting steak for you, giving you his coat..." Sean said, his tone softened.

"Even as friends, isn't this crossing the line?"

"Simon has been researching brain-computer interfaces for the past few years. He asked me questions about it at a conference in Dmont a few years back. This time, he invited me to dinner to persuade me to join his team."

Angeline looked at Sean and realized he was jealous. She suppressed her smile and decided not to call him out on it.

"So, you're okay with him crossing boundaries? Or do you want to pursue something with him?" he questioned, his dark eyes behind his glasses unreadable.

"If you're considering a future with him, I won't recommend it. You'd be better off with Nathaniel Hooper, whom Mr. Lawson Senior recommended."

Slightly taken aback, she blurted, "You want me to choose Nathaniel?"

Sean held the back of her head with one hand and wrapped his other arm around her slender waist, pulling her into his embrace.

His deep voice was filled with possessiveness when he said, "I want you to choose me."

She dropped her handbag, and her hands pressed against his chest. Her heart raced uncontrollably, her gaze couldn't help landing on his thin lips that were so close to hers. Just as she was about to speak, he gently kissed her with his warm and passionate lips.

He stood up and continued kissing her.

"Mm..." Angeline whimpered as she stood on her toes.

Sean's kisses made her steps falter as she moved backward, soon colliding with the dining table behind her. He suddenly lifted her into the air and placed her on the table. He pushed her long skirt up and gripped her thighs, pulling her toward him and pressing their bodies closely together.

Although his kisses were gentler than any before, shivers instinctively went down her spine. As she wrapped her arms around his neck, responding to his tender lips, he held the back of her head with composure.

Their kisses gradually became more intense, deeper, and more forceful as he pulled her slender waist against him.

When she was almost completely breathless, Sean released her lips.

Breathing heavily, he gently brushed over her lipstick-stained lips with his fingertips and hoarsely said, "There are only a few days left until Mr. Lawson Senior's birthday banquet. I will patiently await your answer."

He removed his tie from his crisp shirt collar and winded it around his palm before saying, "I'll shower first."

Angeline struggled to calm her racing heart as she watched him pick up his suit and head toward the guest room. Feeling somewhat embarrassed, she bit her lip as she got down from the dining table.

She was aroused because of Sean's kiss, yet he evidently didn't intend to sleep with her. She felt mortified. She wondered when she'd become so passionate and indulgent.

When Angeline was with Ned before, he had requested it countless times, but she could never overcome the obstacles in her heart. But now, she was easily set off by Sean. Her first time with Sean could be attributed to the effects of drugs, but what about all the times after that?
