Chapter 257: Perplexing Loyalty

Angela Pov

Please wait a moment longer, Mrs, Wilson. I’ll speak with Mr. Blake gain. I think he actually wants to see you, but…” David’s volen trailed off as he searched for the right words. “Just give me a few nuhutes.“

I watched as David hurried back toward the main building of Christopher’s private estate.

Sean and I waited patiently at the entrance, the afternoon sun wargalust my skin.

The sprawling grounds were immaculately maintained, with not a blade of grass out of place–a perfect reflection of Christopher’s

controlled nature.

Suddenly, a tremendous crash echoed from the second floor. I jumped, ny heart racing as the sound reverberated through the quiet

estate.

Sean immediately pulled me into his protective embrace, his arms wrapping securely around me. “It’s okay,” he whispered against my hair, but I could feel the tension in his body,

I noticed that none of the security personnel moved to investigate the noise. They remained at their posts, expressions unchanged, as if they’d expected the disturbance. Their reaction–or lack thereof only heightened my anxiety.

When David finally returned, I was still rattled.

“David? What happened up there?” I asked, unable to hide the tremor in my voice.

His expression remained remarkably composed. “Nothing to worry about, Mrs. Wilson. Someone probably just broke something accidentally. It will be taken care of.”

1 took a deep breath, willing my heartbeat to slow. “That’s good.”

David’s eyes held a hint of apology as he delivered Christopher’s response. “He’s being stubborn, Mrs. Wilson. He still refuses to seo you. I’m sorry you came all this way for nothing.”

Though I’d prepared myself for this outcome, disappointment still washed over me. I looked at David, remembering everything he’d risked to help me in Europe.

“David, I’ll never forget what you did for me in Europe,” I said quietly. “If you ever need anything, please don’t hesitate to contact

A sudden concern crossed my mind as I recalled the violent crash wed heard moments ago. “That loud noise earlier… Christopher seems emotionally unstable right now. Is it dangerous for you to be around him?”

David’s expression softened slightly. “Mrs. Wilson, you needn’t worry about me. I have my own reasons. As for Mr. Blake, he won’t harm me. I’ve been by his side for five years now, I understand his téhiperament.”

Itis unwavering loyalty to Christopher surprised me. Even after helping me escape from Christopher’s control, David seemed determined to stand by him.

“Just remember, if you need anything, please find me. That promise doesn’t expire,” I emphasized, studying his face.

I hadn’t expected David to remain so loyal to Christopher, especially after everything that had happened. The human heart truly was a complex thing-

“I–exchanged a glance with Sodh, ‘Should we go back how?”

Whatever you decide, Sean replied, squeezing my hand gently.

“Yes.” I nodded, then tumed to David. “Since he doesn’t wish to see, we’ll take our leave.”

Before leaving, 1 looked up toward a window on the second floor. Something told me Christopher was there, watching.

I thought I saw the curtain move slightly, but it might have been my imagination.

Sean and I left the estate without further delay, our car quickly passing through the grand gates and merging onto the highway.

We avoided Manhattan’s rush hour traffic, settling into a comfortable silence as Thomas drove us along the smooth road.

I recalled Sean’s words before we’d entered the car: “Are you sure this is what you want? Once we get on the highway, it won’t be easy to come back.”

I’d remained silent thep, lost in thought as Thomas started the engine.

Now, watching the scenery blur past, I realized something about Christopher’s refusal to see me.

“You know,” I said, breaking the silence, ,“even if he doesn’t want to me, you shouldn’t take it too personally,”

Sean glanced at me, eyebrow raised in question.

“If you show how much it bothers you, I continued, “then he’s achieved his goal.”

Understanding dawned in Sean’s eyes. “You’re right.”

“That’s exactly it,” he acknowledged. I’ve been overthinking the situation.

Sean’s expression cleared, as if a weight had been lifted. “Fine. We won’t mention this again. Let’s just go home and focus on our lives.

I nestled against Sean’s chest, feeling his steady heartbeat beneath my cheek.

Though I’d convinced Sean to let go of the matter, two unresolved questions still troubled me:

Why did I feel such complex emotions toward Christopher despite my memory loss?

–

And David he had risked everything to help me yet chose to remain with Christopher. I worried for his safety but also felt confused by his contradictory loyalty, Where did such conflicted devotion come from?

Christopher, what kind of person was he really?

As these thoughts swirled in my mind, a dull ache began to throb at my temples.

I rolled down the window, looking back toward the estate that was now disappearing among the trees.

For reasons I couldn’t explain, a single tear slipped down my cheek, quickly carried away by the wind.

More than anger or suspicion, what I felt was sadness–though I wasn’t sure if I was grieving for Christopher, or for myself.
