Hence, she didn’t want to waste any more time on suspicion and guesses. All she wanted was totreasure the people and everything close to her. That was why she proposed to him; she wanted tostay by Pierre’s side and share his sadness, sorrow and everything else.
As Pierre gazed at her earnest eyes, he became a little lost; the man was supposed to be the oneto bring up a proposal, so how much courage did she muster in order to do this now?
However, he couldn’t bring himself to do it.
After supporting her to get up, he turned to look out at the darkness through the window. It was acloudy night; the moon, and even the stars were not visible. The entire sky appeared especiallydark and lonely, emanating an oppressive air.novelbin
“I won’t marry you,” he uttered.
When Selena heard those words, she felt a buzzing in her ears, unsure if she had heard wrongly orwhat was going on. Never thinking that he would reject her, Selena thought that it was only a matterof time before they were married since they were already so intimate. However, he had turned herdown.
She knew that with his personality, he would marry her as long as he trusted her regardless ofJohn’s objections.
“What did you say?” she asked in uncertainty.
Turning around to face her, he repeated, “I won’t marry you.”
Staring at him blankly, Selena heard what he said this time, and she fully understood what hemeant.
For a long while, their gazes were locked on each other, and the scenes from their past keptflashing across her mind.
However, as the glimmer in Selena’s eyes gradually died down, Pierre suddenly regretted hisdecision and thought that he shouldn’t have been so harsh. Knowing how much pain she sufferedbecause of Finneas, he knew that she must have gathered a huge amount of courage anddetermination to propose to him.
“What I mean is, now is not the time to speak about this.” In the end, he became soft-heartedbecause he couldn’t bear to see her upset.
Then, he reached out and wanted to pull her into his arms, but Selena jerked his hand away. “Iunderstand.”
“No, you don’t.”
As she let out a soft snort, tears began to flow down her cheeks slowly. “You wouldn’t marryMeredith nor me. You won’t marry anyone.”
With just that one short statement, she had hit the nail in the head.
“Selena, we—”
After retreating a couple of steps, she cut him off, saying, “Pierre, why did you get close to me whenyou know that you’re unable to marry anyone? Why did you make me your woman?”
Clenching his jaw, Pierre didn’t know how to reply to her questions.
“You saved me on purpose last time, didn’t you? I’ve always suspected why you used your body toblock the dagger when you could have easily fended Megan off with your skills. You had othermotives, didn’t you?” Right now, she felt like she was a big, fat joke to him. “You wanted to get close
to me and find out if I’m a spy, am I right? What am I to you, Pierre Fowler? Don’t tell me thateverything is untrue.”
Is the relationship we shared over this period of time just a joke? Was he just trying to fool me whenhe saved me from danger time and again? Selena didn’t dare to believe it. It wasn’t that she neverdoubted it before, but rather, she refused to doubt and think about it. However, right now, shesuddenly understood everything.
At the mention of the word ‘spy’, Pierre became infuriated. “Then what am I to you? Do you dare todeny that you’re not a spy?”
He knew that the results of the investigations from his superiors couldn’t be wrong; it was him whorefused to admit it. After looking back in retrospect and joining all the dots together, he couldalready guess Selena’s identity as a spy!
