Chapter 724 Why Are You Crying

I suddenly realized that Ezekiel didn't have a sense of right and wrong in his heart. He didn't care about anything but his own happiness. Such a carefree man would cause trouble without any compassion.

Even he had admitted that he lacked compassion.

I answered, "This is not right, Mr. Hastings. Because... I am just a humble servant."

He repeated, "A humble servant?"

I lied and nonchalantly replied, "Yes. I am just like everyone else in this villa. I am merely a servant looking after you, Mr. Hastings. You're a nobleman, and I..."

I wanted to say that I was already married, but he cut me off at that instant. He said in a deep tone, "An identity is nothing but a form of restraint. Those who have found peace in their hearts won't care about it."

"Are you implying that you have found peace in your heart, Mr. Hastings?"

Ezekiel looked at me disdainfully and asked, "Is that what you think I meant?"

He paused and suddenly said agitatedly, "Identity is just a means to restrain people. That was what I said, right? Ree, although I said that I didn't care, I still strived to become someone worthy of her status. Even though everything I have now has become pointless now that she got married, I don't regret it at all. At least in these years... What exactly have I gained?"

Then, Ezekiel looked at me with an unusual gaze. He appeared lost.

His words made my heart tremble as I felt sympathy for him, but not pity.

Ezekiel didn't need pity.

I was left momentarily speechless as I silently locked eyes with him. He continued with distress after a while, "I feel as if I have gained something, yet I have nothing to show for it. At the very least... I feel like I'm secretly watching over her, and protecting her using my own power in a place where even she is unaware."
