Female Novel
Chapter 355
Selena didn’t respond to Barbie’s words. The wedding gown fitted her well, and she would be ableto alter anything herself even if it was needed. She therefore took the dress off once the sight of herin it satisfied Barbie’s curiosity. Barbie and Ken were the two main figures responsible for thewedding preparations this time around, so Barbie rushed off to complete her other chores onceSelena was done trying on the dress.
Meanwhile, Selena walked out of the castle to find Hades with his eyes shut as he rested on arocking chair out in the gardens. “Are you really planning to get married to me?” Selena realizedhow silly her words sounded once she posed the question. The wedding preparations were nearlycomplete—it was evident that Hades wasn’t fooling around at all.
He slowly opened his eyes then. “Did you think I was just joking around?”
“You have to think it through. There’s no going back once we get married,” Selena uttered as shesat down on a stool beside him.
“What do you mean by that?” Hades didn’t understand her words.
“I would have never agreed to get married to you if you hadn’t threatened me to do it, Hades. If wereally get married, it means that we’ll never be friends again. I initially thought that I would remainfriends with you after I leave this place—you were the one who saved me and gave me life, afterall.” Selena had her back turned against the sunlight, but the yellow rays that illuminated parts ofher face only made her look incredibly gorgeous then.
“Friends?” Hades gave her an icy scoff. “Do you think there are such things as friends in my world?”
Selena’s eyes were filled with sincerity as she turned to him. “Of course. I believe that you’ve neverwanted to do such things. Everyone has a natural preference for light and the sun—no one wouldactively choose to hide themselves in the darkest spots where the light can’t reach them.”
A hint of cynicism remained on the corner of Hades’ lips as he sneered. “Are you trying to advocatefor me now? Are you trying to persuade me—as you did with Melissa and Joshua—to return to thebright side?” He uttered the last few words in a comical, mocking voice before he began to laugh atthe absurdity of it.
Selena got to her feet. “I’ve said all that I want to say. There are three days until the wedding, soyou have some time to consider my words. I can’t do anything to stop you if you insist onproceeding with the wedding, but I hope you can stick to your words and send Jamie homeimmediately after we’re married. I don’t want anything to go wrong.” She left immediately after that.
The smile on Hades’ face disappeared the moment she left. The only reason she got married to mewas because I threatened her to do it. That’s it?! Doesn’t she feel anything for me at all? Veinspopped out on the surface of his skin as he clenched his fists in anger.

Selena faithfully waited and hoped for Hades to change his mind within the next three days. Duringthat period, she headed to the hospital to visit Juniper. Juniper’s treatment was going well, and thedoctor immediately updated Selena on Juniper’s situation once Selena arrived. Based on Juniper’scondition, there was no rush for her to find a match just yet. If Selena intended to give birth toanother child, Juniper could even wait until the day Selena gave birth to the newborn baby. Selenawas extremely grateful to hear this news.
Juniper flung her limbs around in joy the moment Selena entered the room. “You’re finally back,Mommy!” Melissa and Joshua had spent a lot of time taking care of Juniper in the hospital whileSelena was away, and the three of them got along really well. Selena had previously orderedMelissa not to let Juniper know about her marriage with Hades, and Melissa had stuck to herpromise. Juniper, therefore, had no idea about Selena and Hades’ marriage.novelbin
Selena could already imagine how thrilled Juniper would be when she learned that Pierre was heractual father. However, it wasn’t the right time to let the young girl know about it yet. Selena didn’twant the kids to get involved in their adult issues. “Did you miss me, Juniper?”
“Of course. I missed you so, so, so much.”
