Chapter 421 Something Seemed to Click for Her
Siena spotted Kelsey on the video doorbell screen, and from her aggressive stance, Siena knew better than to open the door.
After a few moments, Kelsey glared at the camera and barked, "Siena, open the door!"
Siena's heart skipped a beat, wondering if Kelsey could somehow see her.But she quickly shook off the thought; there was no way Kelsey could see through the thick door.
Realizing Kelsey was bluffing, Siena stayed quiet, eyes glued to the screen.
Siena didn't want Kelsey barging in and messing up her and Seb's life.
She figured if she left Kelsey hanging long enough, she'd eventually leave.
However, Kelsey yelled, "If you don't open the door, I'll break in!"
Siena stayed put, feeling safe behind the locked door. She didn't think Kelsey could get in without her help.
But then, to her shock, Kelsey punched in a password and after a few beeps, a voice prompt confirmed the lock was open.
By the time Siena realized and wanted to lock the door, Kelsey had already pushed it open and entered.
"Siena, why didn't you open the door for me?" Kelsey demanded, storming in with a scowl.
Siena was stunned but tried to stay calm. "I was just coming over when you opened the door. How did you know the house password?" she asked, trying to keep her voice steady.
Siena had changed the door lock password after moving in to avoid trouble.
Only she and Seb knew it. How did Kelsey, an outsider, know it?
Kelsey rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. "This isn't your house at all. This is the home of Seb, Bella, and Sweetie. What are you doing here?"
Siena pressed her lips together, watching Kelsey's every move. "Ms. Jose, what brings you here?" she asked, trying to stay polite.
"Zaire asked me to check on Seb," Kelsey said, glancing back at her. "Why are you so nervous?"
Siena stammered, "Nothing, but Seb isn't feeling well and is resting. If it's not urgent..."
Kelsey cut her off, her voice rising. "It's very urgent."
With that, Kelsey started heading upstairs.
"Ms. Jose!" Siena ran over to stop her.
"Seb must be asleep by now. I just brought him some soup, and he didn't even open the door. You shouldn't disturb him."
Kelsey rolled her eyes. "He might be targeting only you. If I were Seb, I wouldn't want to see you either, because on one would like to look at a scheming face every day. It merely make anyone sick." she snapped, dripping with sarcasm.
"Ms. Jose, you may curse me as you wish, but please do not trouble Seb." Siena pleaded, her voice firm.
"Move!" Kelsey snapped, not one to be easily swayed. She brushed past Siena and continued upstairs.
Realizing she couldn't stop Kelsey, Siena didn't try anymore.
She believed Seb would definitely stop Kelsey at the door.
But Siena was still uneasy.
Bradley had advised that Seb should avoid contact with people and things related to Isabella to prevent triggering any memories. Without hesitation, she followed Kelsey upstairs.
Kelsey knocked on the bedroom door. "Seb? It's me. Zaire asked me to check on you."
There was no response.
Kelsey kept knocking, trying to stay patient. "Seb?"
Siena stood a few steps behind, watching quietly. She couldn't help but gloat seeing Kelsey get the same cold shoulder she had.
"Seb?" Kelsey called again, her voice a mix of frustration and concern.
Siena's smile faded. She was about to ask Kelsey to leave when she saw Seb open the door and let Kelsey in.
Seeing this, Siena's face turned red with anger.
As Kelsey walked into Seb's room, Siena quickly stepped up and held the door. "Seb, I made some soup for you. Do you want to drink it now?"
Seb frowned. "Okay. Bring it over."
"I'll go get it right away." Siena was all smiles as she headed downstairs.
But when she came back with the soup, the bedroom door was closed again. She tried the doorknob, but it was locked from the inside.
Siena knocked on the door, her voice gentle but firm. "Seb? I have brought the soup."
A few seconds later, Seb's voice came through the door, sounding distant. "I've got no appetite right now. You can take it away."
Siena was stunned. It felt like a slap in the face.
Inside Seb's room, Kelsey lowered her voice. "Seb, do you really not remember Isabella?" she asked softly.
Seb lowered his head, rubbing his temples, and remained silent.
Kelsey looked at him, conflicted. "Seb, Bella is supposed to be your wife. You were about to get married, and you have a daughter, Sweetie. Bella went through so much to be with you. Even if you forget everyone else, you shouldn't forget Bella."
"Is that why you came?" Seb frowned, his eyes narrowing.
Seeing his expression change, Kelsey softened her tone even more. "Seb, I only feel sorry for Bella. You two have been through so much together and were on the brink of marriage, but then you suddenly lost your memory. It's true that good things often face many trials, but the challenges you've faced are indeed overwhelming."
Seb listened, his heart aching slightly.
Seeing his reaction, Kelsey continued softly, "Actually, the one who's really suffering in all this is Sweetie. You don't know how well-behaved she has been lately. She's like an angel. If you miss her, I can bring her to see you tomorrow."
Now that Isabella wasn't in Lakina, Kelsey thought Sweetie was the most likely person to trigger Seb's memories.
"Sweetie," Seb murmured, his expression softening.
"Yes. Do you want to see her?" Kelsey asked gently, her eyes hopeful.
Just as Seb was about to speak, there was another knock on the door, and Siena's voice came through. "Seb, are you okay? Mr. Vaughn is here."
Seb glanced toward the door, then suddenly grabbed Kelsey's arm and whispered urgently, "Take good care of Sweetie. Don't bring her here. Kelsey, I'm begging you."
Kelsey was stunned.
"Seb," she whispered, her eyes wide with surprise.
At that moment, something seemed to click for her.
