Chapter 1418 Unexpected Visitor Leia saw the smile on Selena's face and knew that her mistress was in a good mood today. She said with a smile, "Madam Selena, Lady Laurence called earlier and asked you to come back to the mansion when you have time." Selena was taken aback for a moment before realizing what Lady Laurence meant. She was going to be engaged to Osvaldo soon, and it was highly likely that she would return to the Anderson family in the capital.
Lady Laurence had been busy preparing for the engagement banquet recently, so she wanted Selena to come back and see if there was anything else that needed to be added.
Selena’'s mood improved even more. "I'll go back in a while." After breakfast, Leia drove Selena back to the Anderson family. As soon as Selena entered, she noticed that the entire mansion had been redecorated and had a new and festive atmosphere.
Lady Laurence personally led Selena around, asking the young girl if there was anything she was not satisfied with and if there was still time to rearrange things before the engagement banquet.
The villa where Selena had lived before had been demolished by Vivian after her tantrum. Lady Laurence had then connected it to the place where Osvaldo lived, creating a beautiful garden.
It was to be the place where the young couple would live after their marriage.
Selena stayed at the Anderson family for the whole day and only returned to the villa in the evening. The butler was standing in the garden and greeted her with a smile, "Madam Selena, you're back." Selena asked, "Noah, is there anything wrong?" The butler seemed to want to say something but changed his mind when he saw Selena’s expression. "Nothing, it's just getting late. Madam Selena, you should come back earlier in the future.” Selena didn't think too much about it and smiled. "Thank you, Noah." The maid helped her take off her coat, and Selena changed her shoes before walking upstairs. She had planned to go straight to her room, but when she stood at the top of the stairs, she suddenly saw that Osvaldo's study door was open.
Selena was stunned for a moment and instinctively walked over. Osvaldo's study was very private, and the villa's servants generally did not enter.
Selena thought to herself, wondering if the wind had blown the door open. After all, the two floor-to-ceiling windows in the study were large, and when the wind was strong and no one was looking after them, they tended to do this.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWith this thought in mind, Selena walked up to the door, ready to close it. But as she raised her head, she saw a man standing inside.
He was a man with black hair and black clothes, and his lips were curved upwards. His deep black eyes were locked onto her, emitting a familiar warmth and a faint trace of heat.
Selena blinked, and when she realized what was happening, she immediately rushed towards him with joy. "You're back!" she exclaimed.
Osvaldo raised his hand and embraced she who had leapt into his arms.
Holding onto the man, Selena looked up at him and asked, "Are you going out tonight?" Osvaldo hugged her slender waist and his lips curved into a deeper smile. "Work is over, and before the engagement banquet, I'll be with you." Selena's smile grew wider as she stood on tiptoe to kiss him.
At the same time, all her doubts disappeared. It turned out that the man's overtime work during this period was all to make time for their engagement banquet.
Osvaldo looked at his joyous wife and picked her up, turning to walk into the study.
He sat in the office chair and held Selena in his arms, letting her sit on his lap, and casually pressed a button on the computer.
Selena saw the scene on the screen and her eyes widened slightly. The screen showed various exquisite and beautiful wedding dresses and jewelry, playing frame by frame in 3D projection. Even though they were separated by the screen, she could feel their value and beauty.
"See which one you like, and we'll have them sent over for you to try." Selena's cheeks blushed, feeling embarrassed. "My mother-in-law has prepared a lot for me..." When it came to wedding dresses, she couldn't help but think of the one she gave to Aurelia.
Osvaldo's lips curved up. "What?" His tone was light, but it made Selena even more nervous.
Her long eyelashes trembled and she didn't dare to look at the man's faint smile. Instead, she focused on picking out wedding dresses and jewelry.
Under Osvaldo's "high-pressure policy," Selena eventually picked out eight dresses and ten sets of jewelry, and arranged for them to be delivered in two days.
By that time, it was already dark outside.
It was time for her training.
Osvaldo had been away for several days, and no one was there to guide Selena. Knowing the girl's temperament, the man didn't argue with her anymore and took her to the basement.
They didn't come out until eleven o'clock that night.
The next day was the day of the Soo family's wedding day.
Nicholas was probably so eager to beat the Turner and Anderson families that he even set his grandson's engagement date before theirs.
Or maybe they wanted to put pressure on many prominent families in the capital by holding Alfie and Aurelia's engagement banquet hastily.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut after all, they were one of the four major families in the capital and had to maintain a certain degree of dignity.
The Soo family had many strict and traditional rules, and they placed great importance on punctuality. They believed that dusk was the time when the sun and moon changed, and it was the time when yin and yang were combined.
Therefore, the Soo family's engagement banquet was scheduled for the evening.
As the night fell, the Soo family mansion, which had been silent for many years, gradually became lively.
Countless luxury cars came and went at the gate, and glamorous and wealthy nobles appeared one after another.
The entire mansion was brightly lit, and festive red decorations could be seen everywhere. Exquisitely crafted red lanterns extended from the outside of the gate all the way to the inner courtyard.
Nicholas sent out countless invitations to showcase the Soo family's power. Almost all the wealthy and prominent families in the capital received an invitation from the Soo family.
Tonight's Soo family could be described as bustling.
With so many people, there was naturally a lot of gossip.
Especially in recent days, the conflict between the Riddle family and the Soo family had caused the entire capital to be on edge.
"Do you think the people from the Riddle family will come tonight? Who will it be if they do?" "Who knows for sure? Although Leon has a good relationship with Mr. Soo, Mr. Soo doesn't like Miss Bennett. Leo probably wouldn't congratulate Mr. Soo..." "But if Leon doesn't come and it's the old master of the Riddle family or the second mistress of the Riddle family who comes, doesn't that mean the Riddle family has the final say?" "Unless everyone in the main branch of the Riddle family has a brain problem, this situation shouldn't happen. It's too absurd to let a illegitimate daughter and son represent the entire family..." Almost more than half of the people in the hall were discussing the Riddle family's affairs.
And just as a group of young ladies were gossiping, someone suddenly walked in through the gate.
The young ladies were stunned when they saw the person, and their expressions became extremely difficult to describe.
"Why did she come?" "No, the question should be, how does she still have the nerve to come? According to reason, the Soo family would never have sent her an invitation..." "She just came uninvited..." mmMwWLIII0fifl0&1 mmMwWLIII0fifl0&1 mmMwWLII0fiflO& 1 mmMwWLIII0fifl0&1 mmMwWL1i10fif10&1 mmMwWLIiI0fiflO&1
