Female Novel
Chapter 388
“What?” Selena no longer had Pierre’s number, and he had blocked her, effectively stopping herfrom reaching him. “I’ll call him after I’m done with the paperwork.” Selena shifted their attention andleft. I hope they’ll forget about it when I’m done with the paperwork, but I’ll have to tell them sooneror later.
“Told you Mommy’s lying. I knew it. They got into a big fight and broke up.” Juniper saw through hermother’s lies easily. Jameson was still munching on his sandwich, while Joaquin looked pensive.
“Don’t just stand there. You guys are their kids, too.” Juniper was annoyed at her brothers’nonchalance. “And you call yourself my brother, but I’m the only one trying to save the situationhere. Right, I’m angry now, and you can’t calm me down.”
“Oh, calm down. Wanna have some sandwiches?” Jameson handed his half-eaten sandwich to her.
“Is eating all you know?” Juniper smacked Joaquin’s back. “And you haven’t said a thing! Mommy’sright! Men are all pigs!”
Selena spent quite a while on the paperwork, and when she came back, she saw John sittingbefore Juniper’s bed. Their grandpa’s here. She thought she was hearing things, but no. John waslaughing with the kids, apparently amused about something.
“Mommy!” Juniper called her loudly.
John slowly turned around, and the look on his face was just like Pierre’s. Yep. They’re father andson alright. And Joaquin is Pierre’s son.
“You’re back.”
She nodded. “I’m done with the paperwork. W-What brings you here?” Selena was scared of John.
John went toward the door. “Come with me.” And he went outside.
Selena quickly followed him, and she noticed that he was getting hunched. He’s getting old. Yeah,he really is.
John sighed before asking, “When’s the marriage?”novelbin
Selena was surprised that he’d ask that. Pierre probably didn’t tell them about our breakup. Johnprobably doesn’t know about his double life either. Shoot, his whole family probably doesn’t knowabout it. She cursed him silently. I’m fine with explaining this to the kids, but to his old man? Damnit! “We, um, we’re still thinking about it.” Selena pretended she knew nothing.
“The kids are growing up fast. It’s time for you and him to get married. Get this over with as soon aspossible,” John ordered. Well, he could have been making a request, but everything he saidsounded like an order.
Then he left, and she noticed a box at the windowsill beside him. She went to take it and noticed theemerald jewelry within it. Selena didn’t know much about jewelry, but she had seen a lot in highsociety. It was the first time she had seen such beautiful emeralds, and they seemed old, as if theyhad existed for many years. Even their gleam had an ancient air to it.
