Sure enough, everybody had been telling her the same thing. Selena had also been thinking thesame. In conclusion, finding Juniper’s biological father remains the priority. “I understand. Sinceeverybody has the same opinion on the matter, this seems to be the only way to go.” Selena knewby then that she had to acquire from Megan the identity of that man.
“Say, Miss Yard, why didn’t you try asking Pierre? You can actually have him help you find a match.Although it’s up to fate if you’ll find a match, human action also brings about change. With enoughtests, we should have hopes of finding a match.”
Wyatt didn’t know what happened between Selena and Pierre, as Jude wasn’t in the habit ofbragging. Besides, Jude and Wyatt didn’t involve anything aside from romance in their relationship.Feeling slightly awkward about the question, Selena wasn’t sure how she should answer that.
“Oh, I forgot he’s injured.”
“Injured?”
“Don’t you know?” Wyatt stared at Selena with an odd look on his face. “His left leg has a severefracture.”
Halfway through their conversation, Wyatt’s phone rang, very much untimely. “Hello, what’s thematter? Oh, okay.” After hanging up, he had an apologetic look on his face. “I’m sorry, Miss Yard. Afew victims from a serial crash are sent to the hospital, so my immediate assistance is required.Well...”
“Oh, it’s not a problem at all. You should go.”
“The bedroom on the left is mine, so you can sleep in the one on the right. I won’t have time to showyou around, but you can pick out anything that you might need for the night from my items. There’s
a mart on the first floor, so you can buy anything that you might need there. I’m very sorry, but Ihave to leave.”
“Sure.”
After that, Selena was the only one left in the house. She hadn’t been able to get a break ever sinceshe got onto the plane to Astoria, so she was in dire need of a relaxing shower and a good night’ssleep before continuing the fight tomorrow.
Since she was in another person’s house, she wasn’t at all at ease. It took her some time to gatherup the items she needed for a shower. After that, she had a satisfying shower before coming out ofthe shower wrapped in a thick towel. Then, she found a hairdryer and started drying her hair, failingto notice the sounds of someone knocking on the door while doing it.
Upon drying her hair, she sat down on the sofa with her phone in hand. She received a clip fromMelissa that depicted Juniper making a funny face before giving the camera a kiss and saying,“Mommy. I love you.” Relief washed over Selena as she watched the clip.novelbin
At that moment, someone was knocking on the door again. Whoever it was seemed to be in a sourmood, as he was in fact banging on the door instead of knocking on it. Putting her phone aside,Selena walked up to the door. “Who is it?”
The moment she opened the door, she was greeted by the sight of Pierre—and on a wheelchair!Their meeting happened sooner than she expected, nor did she foresee meeting him in such amanner.
On the other hand, Pierre was also frightened when she opened the door. He had a hard timesleeping, which was why he came to Wyatt’s house in search of a drinking buddy, but he didn’texpect that Selena would be the one to answer the door. Both of them were momentarily stunned,
but Pierre ended up breaking the silence. “Do you think it’s alright to let someone on a wheelchairsit out here for such a long time?”
It wasn’t until then that Selena stepped aside to allow him passage. With a press on the button onhis wheelchair, he entered the house. “Why are you here?”
“I...” Unsure of how to explain herself, Selena ended up telling him the full story. “I came to findJude. However, she didn’t think it’s safe to stay at her place, so she sent me to Mr. Spencer’splace.”
“Right...” After that curt reply, none of them spoke, as neither knew what to say, rendering theatmosphere between them rather awkward.
