Chapter 1540 Think About That Man
"Your Majesty, you're awake!" The man standing next to the bed hurried over, his exceptionally
handsome face showing a rare loss of composure.
The woman on the bed heard the voice and turned her head in confusion.
As the young man's gaze met hers, his gentle and excited expression suddenly changed. His slender
hand suddenly grabbed the tender neck, "You're not her, who are you?!"
The girl's clear eyes reflected the young man's panicked face, and in the next second, tears suddenly
fell.
...
In the capital city.
Selena looked up at the night sky above her.
My princess, congratulations on your engagement...
In this world, there was only one person who would call her princess.
In the end, it was still that person, the first to offer her the blessings of a family member.
Selena's long eyelashes trembled, and a sour feeling surged in her heart.
Osvaldo's slender fingers gently brushed over her eyes, "Selena, don't be sad."
Selena blinked and smiled, "Osvaldo, let's go home."
Today, she was engaged.
So she needed to rest well and be the most beautiful bride tomorrow.
Osvaldo picked her up and got into the car.
Before leaving, Selena gave an order, "Protect him in secret and don't disturb him."
Osvaldo took Selena back to the Turner family.
Oscar and Patrick were both not there, and the servants of the Turner family waited in the hall. When
they saw Osvaldo bringing Selena back, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"Miss, the young master just called and asked you to come back and rest well, and prepare for
tomorrow's engagement banquet. They will handle everything else."
The Turner family was sparsely populated, and with both male masters occupied with matters, there
was no way to take care of the family. Perhaps as compensation, the usually austere and antique
Turner family mansion was rarely decorated with colorful luxury.
At a glance, it was red everywhere, exuding a festive atmosphere.
Selena stood in the hall, looking up at Osvaldo.
According to the customs of H Country, the engagement ceremony was usually held at the bride's
home, and Osvaldo would bring the betrothal gifts to the Turner family to pick her up the next day.
Osvaldo looked at Selena's pale features. The poison in her body had just been cleared out, so for
safety reasons, she wore a mask in the presence of outsiders.
Osvaldo removed the mask from her face and, before Selena could speak, lowered his head and
kissed her luscious red lips.
After the kiss, Selena's face turned flushing.
Osvaldo tenderly held her in his arms, his thin lips against her ear. "Wait for me," he said.
Selena nestled against his chest, smiling sweetly. "Okay."
Osvaldo personally escorted her back to her room before reluctantly leaving.
Selena stood at the window, watching Osvaldo's car drive away from the Turner family before turning to
look at her beautiful wedding dress, hanging beside the bed with exquisite embroidery.
She looked at the vibrant red wedding gown, the jewelry on the table, and the festive decorations all
over the room. It wasn't until now that she finally felt a sense of reality about her engagement today.
Tomorrow, she would become Osvaldo's true fiancée, not as anyone else, but as her true self.
Selena tilted her head slightly, gazing out at the tranquil night sky outside the window. A shy and
hopeful smile appeared on her beautiful face.
At dawn, Patrick returned home with exhausted steps.
The butler, who had also not slept all night, felt relieved when he saw the young master return safely.
"Young master."
Patrick rubbed his temples. "Where's Selena?"
"Miss is still sleeping."
"The engagement ceremony is at noon. Let her sleep longer." NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Selena had fought off the biggest crisis alone, and with her body just recovering from being poisoned,
she couldn't fully recover in just one day.
If they weren't already short on time, he would have postponed the ceremony for a few more days.
Selena was probably really tired, and she slept until the morning light before getting up to wash up.
Selena changed into her clothes and just walked downstairs. Hattie, who was sitting in the hall reading
a book, ran over and said, "Selena!"
Hattie was wearing a bright red dress with fair skin and dark eyes, making her look very cheerful.
Selena's mood improved and she touched Hattie's hair and led her to breakfast.
Selena thought that with such a big event happening in the capital, Patrick and Oscar would not come
back at this time.
Therefore, she was a bit surprised to see Patrick at the dining table.
"Patrick," she said.
Patrick smiled slightly, helped her pull out a chair, and whispered, "The engagement banquet is at two
o'clock, and Father will be back at noon."
Selena was taken aback, "Actually, you don't have to--"
She was more aware of the situation in the capital than anyone else and fully understood Oscar and
Patrick's current predicament.
"Selena," Patrick looked at her disapprovingly, "Things can be handled anytime, but a daughter's
engagement only happens once in a lifetime!"
If he misses it, he may never have it again.
Seeing Selena's resolute expression without a trace of grievance, Patrick sighed and touched her hair
with his hand. "Selena, girls should not be so sensible, and should not shoulder all the responsibility."
"Be more willful, and no one will blame you."
Selena bit her lip, and her curly eyelashes trembled slightly.
Oscar knew she wasn't the real Selena.
Patrick also knew this fact.
Selena was ready to confront the Turner family after the situation in the capital was resolved.
It's okay.
She smiled slightly, "I understand, Patrick."
She sat down on the chair and asked about the follow-up, "What about Mr. White and Cassius?"
Patrick's voice turned cold, "So far, their bodies have not been found."
Not finding their bodies meant they might still be alive.
Something flickered in Selena's eyes, and she picked up her spoon.
Patrick saw Selena's desolate expression and comforted her, "Selena, don't worry. Except for Mr. White
and Cassius, the power of Divine Love, which has been developing in the capital for more than 20
years, has been completely uprooted."
"In the future, they will no longer be able to threaten anyone."
Selena looked up and smiled, "It's okay, I'm waiting for them in the underground city."
Everything Mr. White did was to prevent her from rescuing the people in the underground city.
Now that she had the vaccine to save them, Mr. White would eventually come to her.
At that time--
Selena's eyes flickered.
Patrick saw that she was not discouraged and breathed a sigh of relief.
He said with a smile, "Selena, you're getting married today. Don't think about other things. You can
think more about--"
Although he was not very willing, in order to make Selena happy, Patrick still said that sentence, "That
man."
