Second Marriage to Mr. Rich (Ned Fletcher)

Chapter 125

Ingrid locked her phone screen in panic and looked up with a pale face.

She tried to force a smile, but tears started flooding her eyes. She quickly lowered her head and wiped her tears. "I'm so sorry." Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Simon was caught off guard and passed his handkerchief to Ingrid. "Forgive me, but did the two of you fight?"

Ingrid shook her head. "No, I just lost my manner. Mr. Garrison is waiting for us. Let's go."

Seeing that Ingrid didn't want to share, Simon didn't pursue with more questions and nodded gentlemanly.

"Do I look okay?" Ingrid forced a smile and looked at Simon with watery eyes.

"You look gorgeous. Beautiful and innocent like a fawn lost in woods," Simon praised with honesty while opening the door to the private room for Ingrid.

Simon felt an indescribable feeling in his heart as he followed behind Ingrid.

Admittedly, Simon knew Ingrid was attractive, and he always had a soft spot for innocent women who made him feel protective.

He couldn't tell if it was because many years had passed since the incident in Ica or his memory of the lifesaver had gone blurry. But Simon felt that a delicate person like Ingrid didn't match the savior in his impression.

The sole reason Simon believed that Ingrid had saved his life was because of how clinging Ned was to her.

The next day, Sean sent Angeline to the conference after the marriage registration and lunch.

En route, Sean read through the pregnancy check-up report that Tanisha brought in the back seat. He asked, "Everything is normal with you, but why don't you look pregnant? Did the twins take too much nutrients from you?"

Taylor, who was sitting in the passenger seat, laughed. "Mr. Lawson, you have plenty of experience in managing a company. But it seems like you know nothing about pregnancy, don't you?

"It's because Ms. Angeline is too slim, so her baby bump won't show during the early stages of pregnancy."

Taylor continued, "Like my sister, for example, her baby bump only became obvious during six or seven months of pregnancy. You couldn't even tell she was pregnant if she wore loose-fitting clothes."

Sean nodded in relief.

They soon arrived at the conference. Sean told Angeline, "I'm returning to Lonla in the afternoon. I'll let you know when I arrive."

Angeline nodded. "Have a safe flight."

There was still 20 minutes before the conference. Gethin was talking to Simon when he saw Angeline with documents in her hands and called her, "Hey, Angie, over here!"

Simon, who was wearing a suit, turned around and had his attention caught by Angeline. She wore a champagne silk shirt with a light gray suit and a deep gray long woolen coat over them. Her hair was tied in a low ponytail, giving her an intelligent and modest look.

"I'd like to introduce you to Simon." Gethin courteously held Angeline's waist and showed her to Simon.

"Simon, this is the student from Lonla I've always talked about. You should ask her if you would like to learn more about genetics. She knows so much that even I have to seek advice from her sometimes!"

Simon had naturally curled brown hair and gentle, affectionate-filled gray eyes. He looked at Angeline and extended his hand courteously. "Hello, Ms. Angeline. I'm Simon."

Angeline recognized Simon as the man she had saved in Ica years ago. The corner of her mouth turned up as she shook his hand. "Hello, I'm Angeline."

Simon was stunned for a moment before letting go of Angeline's hand.
