Female Novel
Chapter 202
With the other video clips as proof, the incident was solved without a further ado. Selena wasgrateful for all that Pierre had done for her. With her face flushed, she looked at him. He, too, lookedback at her while panting.
“Thank you,” she said.
“What for?”
“For finding that clip for me, of course! By the way, aren’t you being coy? Instead of sending it to meonly after you left the hotel, you could’ve just handed it to me in person. You didn’t have to be sosecretive about it.”
Upon witnessing her excitement, he decided he shouldn’t dampen her mood. In fact, he wasn’t theone who found the clip. While he was also investigating the matter in order to help clear her name,he had yet to find the clip. Meanwhile, he assumed that Selena found the clip on her own when hewas watching the press conference, but it turned out that somebody was helping her out.
But who could it be? He couldn’t help wondering. “I won’t accept a verbal expression of yourgratitude. Tonight...”
There was a blush on her face when he whispered into her ear. Then, she had her face against hischest. “Okay.” Listening to the steady beating of his heart, she finally felt secure for the first time in along while.
Ever since her mother passed away, she had lost her sense of security. Back when she was still inlove with Finneas, she gave up her all for him. While she learned many lessons through thatrelationship, she was still feeling insecure, which was why she constantly tried to please him and hisfamily.
During the past four years when she was abroad, she felt like being uprooted, as well as losing hersense of belonging. However, she finally regained a sense of security at this moment, which madeher feel grounded.
That night, she gave Linda a call to tell the latter to bring Juniper over the next day, as she neededto carry out an important task between her and Pierre. After they enjoyed the dinner she made, shedid the dishes. Her heart began racing as soon as she got out of the kitchen. Other than the timeduring which she got pregnant with Juniper, she didn’t have much experience in sex. Thus, she wasbeginning to regret agreeing to his request, as well as taking on an active role, as she figured thatmen should be taking the lead.
“What’s the matter? Are you regretting your decision?” Pierre examined her while leaning againstthe sofa.
“I am not! I... I’ll go take a shower now! You can come up later!” With that, she rushed upstairswithout even looking up.
The sight of her fleeing from him in embarrassment made him chuckle. She’s so adorable.
Although she left the tap in the shower running, she wasn’t at all focused on showering, as she wastrembling due to anxiety. What should I do? That was all she could think of, which made her dragout her shower. When she realized it was about time to get out, she decided with grim determinationto go all out.
She stepped out of the shower in a bathrobe, then dried her hair as well as went through her nightlyskincare routine. However, she figured she didn’t need to put on makeup since Pierre had seen herwithout. After all was done, she sat on the bed waiting. Geez! Do I need to go fetch him downstairs?He’s acting so coy now despite how eager he was before!
After waiting for a long while, Pierre was still nowhere in sight, which made her a little anxious. Itwasn’t until she went downstairs to find him that she realized he wasn’t in the living room. She hadleft her phone on the sofa as she was in such a hurry just now. When she retrieved it, she saw amessage from him. ‘Something urgent came up, so I have to go.’
Heaving a sigh, she sat down on the sofa while reading the message, all the while unsure how sheshould reply to that.novelbin
