The President’s Mistake A Tale of Love and Regret novel Chapter 493

Ethan was shocked that Luna would speak to him like that, which felt like his face was being rubbed against the ground. His expression instantly turned cold.

Watching his fiancée kneeling before another man, his hands clenched into fists at his sides, and his whole body stiffened, unsure of what to do.

He knew Luna didn’t like him, and even with the most romantic tenderness from Pontenero, he couldn’t break through her cold, hard heart.

At this moment, Luna knelt in front of Nathaniel, looking up at him steadily, “Mr. Morgan, I really didn’t mean to be late. I thought Ms. Freya was a bit wary of me, so I tried to keep some distance to avoid making her uncomfortable.”

“I was already on my way after Koen called, but I ran into my fiancé, which caused a delay. I really didn’t intend to cause Ms. Freya any distress.”

“We all respect her, including Koen and me. We never expected things to turn out like this.”

“I’m just asking if Madam is in the hotel? If not, could she have gone out?”

Koen and the others looked troubled. Nathaniel had been angry with them before, but it was just temper; it never got personal.

This time, his reaction seemed over the top, like he was ready to confront them all.

Koen coughed and stepped forward, “Mr. Morgan, it’s all my fault. I didn’t manage things properly. If you want to punish someone, punish me.”

“Mr. Morgan…” Hudson also stepped forward.

Nathaniel suddenly stood up, looking coldly at them. They seemed so unfamiliar now. They still didn’t understand his pain and thoughts.

He didn’t care about their respect for Freya. He wanted them to genuinely accept her as one of their own.

He wanted them to help her regardless of his position, especially when she was in danger.

Now was the prime example. She’s nowhere to be found, but their first instinct was to kneel before him, forcing him to forgive them because they’re his friends. They didn’t even think about rescuing Freya.

He knew if something happened to him, they would rescue him, but it was different for Freya.

Nathaniel felt a chill in his heart. He finally understood why Freya sought help from Sawyer instead of trusting him.

During her hardest times in prison, it was Sawyer who stayed by her side. Where was he then?

Thinking of this, Nathaniel felt his resentment towards Freya dissipate.

Maybe he hadn’t been good enough to her, so she retaliated against him. It was his deserved punishment.

“Mr. Morgan,” the hotel manager brought a few security staff over, opened a laptop, and showed Nathaniel surveillance footage of Freya leaving the hotel.

In the footage, Freya’s expression wasn’t clear, but her actions and steps were hurried, like she was going to a meeting.

In Pontenero, having been in prison, she had no one she knew except Sawyer.

The thought of Freya rushing to meet Sawyer made Nathaniel uncomfortable, but finding her was the priority.
