Semua Bab The Agent's Blood: The Bodyguard's Legacy: Bab 131 - Bab 140

Evander finally broke down the door to Noah's room. They were shocked to see the room in complete disarray, with Noah huddled in a corner, crying.Elena rushed forward to embrace him."Noah, sweetheart," she called out."I'm not Noah! Don't call me that name!" Noah retorted, roughly pushing Elena's hand away."Noah Sinclair, please, son. Calm down, sweetheart," Alice pleaded."And I'm not Noah Sinclair either! You should all just leave!" he screamed, struggling against them.Noah thrashed out in anger, hitting anyone who tried to get near him and throwing whatever he could grab."Go! I'm alone! You can't be here! Just go!" Noah shouted, his hand seizing a vase and hurling it.Elena, who was moving forward to calm him, was struck by the vase. She ignored the blow and managed to pull Noah into a tight hug."It's Mama, sweetheart. Please don't be like this. We all love you. You are our precious son.""Let go! Let me go! You're all horrible, I hate you!" Noah screamed, continuing to strug

Since yesterday's events, Olivia had been keeping Layla from spending time with Noah. The situation was still delicate, especially since Noah seemed to be rejecting Evander as his father."So, how are they now? Is Miss Elena okay?" Olivia asked Emily while they watched Layla study on the back terrace."She's hurt, but it doesn't seem to be severe. And Mr. Noah has already accepted her as his mother," Emily explained, her brow furrowed."Why do you look like that? Is there something else?" Olivia asked, noticing her friend's unease."Mr. Evan left first yesterday with such a sad look on his face. Apparently, Mr. Noah still can't accept that he's his father," she said, letting out a long sigh. She knew the story from their time in New York, about the other woman who was close to Evander and had also spent time with Noah. That's probably the reason, she thought to herself. Noah thinks Evander betrayed one of the women he cares about."Is there more to the story?" Olivia asked, watching

The day's events had shocked everyone. The most confused of all were, of course, the children, Layla and Noah.Layla was torn between confusion and disbelief at the words of the woman she had always considered her mother, Olivia."It can't be," Layla said, shaking her head. Her eyes welled with tears as she stared at Olivia.Olivia sobbed softly. She knew this revelation would be a profound shock."It's the truth, my child. I took you from this house long ago for your own safety," she said, stroking Layla's cheek.Evander was still trying to process everything that was happening. He looked at Layla and then at Noah."We should all give ourselves a moment to calm down, especially the children. They will certainly need time to accept all of this," Evander said, his gaze finally resting on Noah.Elena nodded, as did Olivia and Emily."Father has to know about this. Or could he have known all along that Layla didn't die?" Elena wondered aloud."No, Miss. Mr. Alistair knows nothing about t

Layla was startled when Noah violently shoved her hand away, his face contorted with rage."What is it? Why are you acting like this?" Layla asked."I'm Noah, not Noah Sinclair!" Noah shouted again, his flushed face now wet with tears."Don't you want to acknowledge them as your parents?" Layla said, bewildered."What about you? Are you willing to do it? Do you believe them?" Noah shot back, his breath coming in ragged bursts as he fought to control his emotions.Layla was stunned. "As a child who grew up with just my mother, I'm grateful to have finally found both my parents. And I'm so happy that they turned out to be such kind people," she confessed honestly.Noah scoffed. "Well, not me! I hate the man who claims to be my father!" he said bitterly."You can't say that! Mr. Evan is very kind, too. Why do you hate him?"Noah fell silent."You don't know what he's done," he revealed quietly. He clenched his fists, then retreated back into his room and slammed the door right in Layla's

Elena and Evander were startled awake by a knocking sound. To be precise, it was a hard pounding on their bedroom door, accompanied by Emily's frantic shouts."Ma'am! Sir! Mr. Noah is gone!"All drowsiness vanished in an instant. Evander and Elena stared at each other, their eyes wide with shock."Oh my God! What happened?" Elena quickly grabbed her robe and rushed to open the door, just as Evander did.When the door swung open, it revealed Emily, still banging on it in a panic. She jumped back, surprised to see it open."Mr. Noah isn't in his room!" she exclaimed, her face pale with fright."What do you mean?" Elena asked, already running toward Noah's room. Evander had bolted ahead of her.When they reached Noah's room, the three of them found Alistair and Daniel standing before an open window, from which a long rope of tied-together bedsheets dangled all the way to the ground. Below, the household staff had gathered, their faces mirroring the same shocked expression.Elena stumbled
