Female Novel
Chapter 319
“President Fowler, about this—” Niall called out to Pierre in a soft voice.
“Find me a ring.”
“A ring?” Surprised by the sudden request, Niall asked, “President Fowler, what kind of ring are youlooking for? And what do you plan to use it for?”
“For a proposal.” There was a sinister smile on Pierre’s face. Finally, he was able to set his mind topropose to Selena. “Make sure you keep this a secret. Don’t tell anyone about it.”
Hearing that, Niall was delighted. “President Fowler, is it Miss Yard?”
Pierre glanced at him sideways, not knowing if he was referring to Selena or Meredith since theyhad the same surname. Meanwhile, Niall quickly tempered his smile. “Do you have any preferencesregarding the ring?”
“Scratch that. I’ll look for one myself.” Pierre figured he should show more sincerity by picking outsuch an important object by himself.
Meanwhile, back in the castle at Springvale.
Out of anger, Hades hadn’t visited Selena for a few days. However, he could no longer hold himselfback after that, so he came to the door of her room with his hands behind his back, only to find thatSelena was video-calling Juniper. The wound on her face was almost healed, so it didn’t stick outtoo much after covering it with her hair. She hadn’t called Juniper for a few days because of thewound on her face.
“Godfather!” Juniper called out from the other side of the line.
“Your godfather? Where?” Selena asked.
Pointing at the door, Juniper said, “Right there! He’s at the door, Mommy!”
It wasn’t until then that she noticed Hades was standing by the door. Seeing that there was no wayhe could get out of it, he cleared his throat and walked into the room.novelbin
“You’re right. It really is him.” Ever since Pierre’s visit, Selena hadn’t seen Hades, nor did she knowhow she should face him.
After she passed the phone to Hades, Juniper chatted with him for a short while. However, theirconversation didn’t last for long and they soon hung up, as Juniper had treatment later on. Stillholding onto Selena’s phone, Hades’ smile melted away, and his grip on her phone tightened whenhe noticed that she used a photo of her and Pierre as her screensaver.
Naturally, Selena snatched her phone away from him when she noticed his reaction, knowing thathe must have seen her screensaver. In fact, it was Pierre who set that photo as her screensaverwithout her knowledge before he left. She only noticed it was changed after she woke up.
Not only did he change it into a photo of himself with Selena, but the photo he picked was a sneakshot of them when Selena was still asleep. She was lying in his arms with her eyes closed,seemingly fast asleep, but despite this, she looked more like she was enjoying herself as shesnuggled close to his broad chest, and Pierre was kissing her forehead while looking at the camera.Apparently, the gaze he held was one of provocation.
Both Selena and Pierre were topless in the photo. While she was snuggled under the blankets withonly her collarbone in view, Pierre showed his topless figure, which seemed alluring yet provokingat the same time. Although Selena thought of changing the photo, she liked the photo, andconsidering that she didn’t have a lot of photos of them together, she kept it.
When Hades sat down on the bed, Selena cowered away from him slightly. Her avoidance onlyirked him even more. “Since when have you been together?”
“Surely, you’ve seen the news? We’ve been together ever since the public appearance.”
Hades had been watching Selena closely, so he of course saw the news. However, he brushed it offthat time, as he assumed that Selena only approached Pierre in order to spy on him. To think Iactually missed out on that! “Is that why you turned me down?”
After a brief pause, Selena mustered up her courage to look at Hades. “That’s not it.”
