The Secret Pregnancy of the Billionaire's Ex-Wife

Chapter 159: I'd Even Told Him He Was "Annoying"

Angela POV

The sleek black vehicle pulled away from the luxury apartment complex and merged into Manhattan traffic.

"Tell me Christopher Blake's address," Sean demanded, his jaw clenched tight at the mere mention of Christopher's name.

"Christopher?" I repeated, surprised by the question.

My mind raced as pieces began falling into place. Christopher's recent behavior, his unexpected absence after I'd rejected him, the strange timing... Could it be? I fell silent, processing the implications.

After about ten seconds of contemplation, I recited Christopher's midtown address.

Sean smirked. "You seem quite familiar with his address," he said sarcastically.

The car interior grew silent except for the soft classical music. I didn't bother arguing

with Sean, too preoccupied with trying to understand why Christopher would take my children without telling me. Nothing about this made sense.

Had I been so quick to blame Sean because it was easier than considering alternatives? Christopher had been nothing but kind to me and the children for years. Yet I couldn't ignore how hurt he'd been when I rejected him last week. Still, abducting my children seemed completely out of character for him. I needed to see them with my own eyes to be certain they were safe.

Sean's phone rang, interrupting my thoughts. I kept my gaze fixed on the passing streetscape, trying to calm my racing heart.

"Did you find anything?" Sean answered sharply.

"Mr. Shaw, we retrieved the school security footage as quickly as possible,"

Thomas's voice came through the speaker. "I've sent it to your phone."

"Good work. Who took them?"
