Chapter 160: Two Men, One Family

Angela POV

My heart pounded as we stood outside Christopher's luxury apartment building.

After what felt like an eternity, the door swung open. David, Christopher's personal assistant, greeted me with a warm smile.

"Ms. Wilson." His tone was welcoming and familiar.

"David, is Christopher inside?" I asked, unable to mask the urgency in my voice.

"Mr. Blake is in the-" David's words died on his lips as his gaze shifted behind me, registering Sean's imposing presence. The friendly smile vanished instantly, replaced by a guarded expression.

I barely noticed the change, my mind entirely focused on finding my children. I pushed past David into the foyer, moving quickly across the marble floor.

Sean moved to follow, but David instinctively stepped forward to block his path. "Sir, I'm not sure if-"

Sean's emerald eyes locked with David's, the intensity of his gaze so palpable it seemed to physically push the other man back. Without a single word spoken, David retreated, allowing Sean to enter.

The subtle aroma of polished wood and luxury enveloped me as I moved through the apartment. Then I heard it-Aria's distinctive laughter, bright and carefree, followed by a man's gentle voice.

I followed the sounds through the open glass doors leading to the terrace.
