Chapter 501

Alyssa went to the bathroom to wash up before changing into a new set of clothes. After

that, she went

out for a stroll to clear her mind.

She recalled when Sean knelt before her, delicately wiping spilled wine from her feet

before everyone. It

left her with a strong sense of discomfort.

Yes, he had always been kind to her, but she could no longer tolerate his kindness after

that passion-filled

embrace.

They had been childhood friends, and over the years, she had only seen him as a friend

who later became

a subordinate.

And him? He had taken her as a potential lover or possibly his childhood crush.

Alyssa couldn’t tolerate it.

She sighed, frustrated.

Just then, she noticed Sean standing in the distance, looking unnaturally pale and tense.

“Ms. Alyssa,” he called out weakly.

“Sean? What are you doing here?” Alyssa asked, surprised.

Sean swallowed nervously and slowly walked up to her. “I came to check up on you. I was

worried.”

“Sean …”

“A week has passed, Ms. Alyssa. Why haven’t you summoned me back to your side?” he

asked hoarsely.

“Because I’m waiting for you to let this go.” Alyssa leaned against the wall, meeting his

soft gaze. “Have

you made up your mind this past week, Sean?”

“I… I like you, Ms. Alyssa,” Sean said gently, his voice shaking. “You can hate me and

despise me all you want, but you can’t stop me from feeling this way for you.

“I never asked for reciprocation. I wouldn’t dream of it. I just don’t think there’s anything

wrong with having feelings for you, Ms. Alyssa.”

Alyssa’s eyes narrowed just the slightest.

“But that’s all I’ve allowed myself to feel for you. I know any more than that would be

beyond all respectable boundaries.” Sean tried his best to smile encouragingly.

“There’s nothing wrong with your feelings, Sean. I just can’t accept them.” Alyssa met

with his smile

bitterly.

If having feelings and facing rejection were criminal acts, she should have been

condemned to the

harshest punishment for loving Jasper and ultimately being discarded.

The person I am today has lost all faith in love. I don’t dare to give love a second chance

interest whatsoever. Unreciprocated love can kill you slowly, Sean. You should find

someone who can

love you the same way you love them.”

Though Alyssa had suffered at a man’s hands, she remained kind to Sean.

“I’m sure you’ll find someone who loves you truly, just as much as you love them, Ms.

Alyssa,” Sean

croaked out, his eyes reddening.

“I won’t make the same mistakes again.” Alyssa waved her hand languidly. “I have loved,

and I have lost.

All I want to do now is make lots of money and be single forever!”

“Does… Does that mean I can work by your side again?” Sean asked awkwardly. “I… I feel

like a fallen log

ready to sprout mushrooms after a week of no work.”

“Oh, of course you can! Welcome back to your queen’s side, dear knight,” Alyssa teased

and extended her

hand out to him.

Sean beamed. He respectfully held her hand and gently kissed her knuckles. “It is my

honor to serve you till the end of my days, my queen.”

Their eyes met, filled with a shared understanding and joy.
