Joseph looked at her dress, then down at his suit, wondering if he'd lost his sense of temperature.Selina wore less than him, yet felt hot when he felt comfortable.Fearing more questions, Selina smiled at him, speaking quickly: "Weren't you heading out? Don't let me keep you - I have things to do,
Selina had just finished showering when she received a call from the main building.As soon as she connected, Nicole's eager voice came through: "Selina, I hear your grandfather arranged a blind date for you?"Her voice didn't sound particularly happy, even carrying a hint of complaint.The old man
When she and Nicole arrived at the police station, the lawyer was already waiting for them."Madam, Miss!" The impeccably dressed Theo greeted Nicole and Selina, walking into the station with them.Selina briefly told Theo what she'd learned from the police.The night before, Joseph had been drinkin
As Selina was finally able to properly look at Nestor after he'd escorted her to a private booth on the second floor."Did you come specifically to find me?" Selina asked with mixed feelings.Nestor leaned forward, his dark eyes fixed intently on her, lips curving slightly: "Of course it was for you
Nestor stared at her face, then after a long silence, his lips curved upward."What's going on in that little head of yours?" He gently flicked her forehead. "I want to marry you because of you, not because of the Robinsons or Adams."He wanted to marry her simply because she was Selina.He'd antici
Through the window, Selina looked where he pointed, seeing a familiar tall figure leaning against a car about 800 meters from the bar.When the woman appeared, he quickly went to meet her.The woman ignored him, striding forward while he patiently followed, reaching for her hand.She avoided his tou
Pushing against Nestor's chest, Selina stepped away."What else do you know?" Selina asked quietly.She hadn't wanted Nestor involved in Robinson affairs, but he'd forced his way in.Since she couldn't refuse him, she might as well let him help.Hearing Selina's resignation, Nestor's lips curved int
Nestor's words exploded like a landmine in the crowded room.Not only was the woman shocked, but even Selina was stunned speechless by this revelation.She had asked him earlier if he knew anything else.Yet Nestor hadn't told her about something this significant.Selina took a deep breath, bit her
Once again, Selina was left dizzy from David's intense, dominating kiss.By the time they left, Nicole's luxury car was long gone.Selina pressed her slightly swollen lips together, glaring at David in annoyance.Because of her pregnancy, David had been restraining himself from their usual marital i
But even if she knew, surely she wouldn't be angry enough about that to ban him from their bedroom?"I'm sorry, honey!" Daniel had to humble himself and apologize. "I shouldn't have gone behind your back to pick up Dad. Please don't be angry."Nicole rolled her eyes: "You still don't know what you d
Maya's butler and servants delivered the gifts, giving Nicole and Selina no chance to refuse before quickly departing as swiftly as they had arrived.Under Nicole's curious questioning, Selina finally had to come clean. She explained everything about how she came to call Maya her sister-in-law.Nico
The beads didn't look particularly special, but after several failed attempts to refuse, Selina finally accepted them.Nelson, who had been pacing in the castle courtyard, saw David emerge holding Selina's hand with a wooden box in his other hand. His handsome brows furrowed.Maya had let them go wi
Maya smirked at Selina's protective stance over her husband.Sure, David was good-looking with a great physique, but he was taken - definitely not her type."I'm not interested in your man," Maya said, giving David a dismissive look. "A married man going to bars alone to pick up women? How shameless
"Honey, I'm fine, you don't need to worry about me!""What happened to your clothes and hair?" David asked after checking her over for injuries."Oh, I was sunbathing and reading in the back garden, and I accidentally fell asleep!" Selina admitted, lowering her head shyly.David finally relaxed comp
Just thinking about what Selina might have endured made David want to strangle Maya.But he didn't want to frighten Selina.She'd already been traumatized when he was drugged by Maya and almost forced himself on her - it had taken her so long to recover.How could he bear to make her fear him by tak
David's face darkened like storm clouds, and he let out a scornful laugh: "You kidnapped my wife just to get me here, didn't you?""Your wife?" Maya's voice suddenly rose, filled with disbelief, but she quickly composed herself, looking at David with an odd expression."You think I'm still obsessed
Nelson and David waited anxiously at the entrance until the butler hurried over.He glanced at Nelson, his gaze lingering for a moment, before turning to David: "Mr. Wilson, my lady requests your presence inside!"David furrowed his brow and turned to Nelson in confusion, only to see that Nelson's f
