My Ex-husband Begs Me Back novel Chapter 1489

Chapter 1489 Awareness

Kian had been by Ayan's side for a long time, so he naturally had a certain understanding of Ayan. At this moment, he felt a lot of emotions in his heart. He always felt that Ayan had not told him something. Ever since Elijah disappeared two days ago, he had this feeling. But now, with Daisy's contact with Preston, and Ayan personally saying he had taken unexpected precautions with Preston, this made Kian even more certain of his suspicions.

Kian felt a sense of exclusion from his boss. He felt quite low, as he had been trusted by his boss for a long time, and a sudden change naturally made him feel somewhat lost.

However, his sense of loss did not last long, because he knew he couldn't inquire too much about his boss's affairs. His boss had his reasons for doing so.

After understanding this, Kian immediately responded to Ayan's words, saying, "Understood, Mr. Simpson. I will handle this matter according to your request. I'll go meet Sean later. I've been monitoring him for days, maybe he can provide us with some information."

Ayan just nodded slightly and said nothing else.

After leaving the office, Kian hurried to the hotel to meet Sean, who was staying at the same hotel as Elijah.

However, he had lost his freedom now. He was practically under surveillance twenty-four hours a day, even when using the restroom.

Such close surveillance was enough to make one's heart collapse, but Sean seemed unusually calm. This calmness exceeded the rationality of a normal person.

When he saw Kian, his reaction wasn't significant. He just glanced at Kian and asked, "Have you found Elijah?"

He now called him by his name, his words filled with disgust and dissatisfaction.

This reaction didn't seem like an act, even actors mess up sometimes, let alone Sean, who wasn't an actor.

Kian didn't answer his question, just glanced at him and said, "It's been several days since your father left the hotel. Are you sure there's nothing you want to say?"

Sean subconsciously looked at Kian, his eyes showing a myriad of astonishment. His voice was filled with excitement, "Kian, it has nothing to do with me, really. I don't have the ability, nor the motivation to do this. Please don't suspect me."

Sean genuinely felt a bit tired. He had explained countless times even though the event was pure speculation. But Kian still didn't believe him. He had wanted to see Ayan, but Ayan clearly didn't want to see him.

Faced with Kian's questioning, he was starting to break down. Naturally, he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated.

Kian had no soft spot for him. He just said, "Mr. Simpson already trusts you, but your father's unexplained disappearance makes it hard not to be suspicious of you. So, if you know anything, tell us. Otherwise, it's not good for you."

If Sean were a woman, he would probably be crying by now, but he was a man. Faced with such helplessness, all he could do was endure.

He said, "I understand your meaning. I'll talk to Mr. Simpson. But you should also be prepared mentally. If you don't have anything useful to provide us, Mr. Simpson will decide if you still have value."

"Kian, put in a good word for me with Mr. Simpson. I really just want to see him, to speak my mind. I had no part in this, I've been cooperating with Mr. Simpson. I wouldn't betray him."

When Kian returned to Simpson Group, Ayan had just finished a video conference.

He relayed Sean's words to Ayan, who didn't react. Kian wasn't sure if it was due to work or if Ayan simply wasn't interested in Sean.

Seeing this, Kian didn't press the issue further. He just set down the documents he was holding and temporarily left the office.

In just a morning, Kian experienced Ayan's unpredictable mood shifts. He felt like he could no longer understand Ayan's emotions.

Kian felt quite uneasy and even wondered if his own mistakes would cost him his job.

Kian's unease didn't go unnoticed by the secretarial staff. They subconsciously thought that maybe Ayan's bad mood was causing Kian's nervousness.

Kian's assistant couldn't help but ask, "Kian, is Mr. Simpson in a bad mood? Should we bring the madam over? We can drive over to pick her up. Seeing her, Mr. Simpson should feel better, right?"

Kian didn't respond to the assistant, just saying, "Focus on your work and stop overthinking things."

On the surface, Kian told his assistant this, but inside, he had been overthinking things for most of the day.
