Female Novel
Chapter 315
Despite her indignance, she understood that it was classified information that Pierre wouldn’t eventell his parents. “Fine. I won’t ask, then.” She snuggled closer to him. “Are you forbidden frommarrying? Can I at least know that?”
“No, I’m not.” Pierre was of course allowed to marry. However, he would die any moment since hisprofession required him to risk his life. He didn’t expect to have a son, let alone marry someone, ashe didn’t want to hold up another girl.
“Pierre, do you know how hard it was for me to muster up my courage to learn to love again?”Shutting her eyes, Selena shed a single tear that rolled down her cheek. “Finneas and I werechildhood sweethearts, so I spent the best years of my life loving him. Even though being pregnantwhen I was eighteen cut my youth short, I thought it was worth it for him. Therefore, I was willing tomake the sacrifice. I was even looking forward to my future. Unbeknownst to me, it was all a set-up.I never expected Finneas to cast me aside like trash, nor did I expect my half-sister to treat me likethat. A part of me died alongside my children who were stillborn.”
“What?” Pierre had never heard of that.
“Juniper had two brothers, as I was pregnant with triplets back then. It was also the reason I choseto give birth to them, as it was rare to have triplets. Unfortunately, I suffered a miscarriage afterfalling from the stairs, so the two babies died just like that.” Selena had never told anybody about it.Her heart still ached when she mentioned the death of her two stillborn babies.
However, Pierre wore a deep frown while thinking to himself, Selena lost her twin sons, whileMeredith gave birth to twin sons for me. Why do I have a feeling that these are related?
“By the way, I believe that it was fate that I met you. When I first met Jamie and Jojo, I was drunkafter drinking in the bar, as it was my sons’ death anniversary.”
His heart throbbed upon hearing that, as he recalled that day was his sons’ birthday, which meantthey had the same birth date. “And Juniper...”
“Of course she shares the same birthday as her brothers, but because it turned out to also be herbrothers’ death anniversary, I never told Juniper her real birth date. Instead, I lied by pushing it backa week.”
The revelation prompted Pierre to sink into deep thought, while Selena waved her hand in front ofhim. “What’s the matter?”
When he regained his senses, he inquired, “Have you ever seen your sons’ bodies?”
“Yeah.”novelbin
As soon as he heard that, his heart sank.
“I’ll never forget how they looked. Their tiny figures looked exactly the same with each other when Isaw them in the morgue...” No longer able to continue, Selena could only allow her tears to fall.
Quickly, Pierre held her even tighter. “Alright, let’s not dwell on that topic anymore. We have to leavehere, as this isn’t a good place to live in.”
After hearing that, Selena lifted her head to stare at him. “You haven’t answered my question.”
Pierre wore a sullen look, as he knew Selena wanted to be with him. He was also aware how hard itwas for her to muster up the courage to propose, and he was sure that she loved him dearly.“Selena, this is more complicated than it seems. Do you know how dangerous it is to marry me?”
“I know.”
“While you might not care for your own life, what about Juniper? She already had no father. Do youwant her to even lose her mother?”
