Chapter 1278 It Wasn't Intentional After lightly kissing her, he sat up as if nothing had happened.
The man put the book he was holding on the table, his tone cold. "The matter with Dante has been decided. You may leave now." Joanna snorted and left, swaying her hips as she went. Luke gave a meaningful glance at the spot where Osvaldo's feet were and followed her out.
When the room had quieted down, Osvaldo bent down and reached out his hand to Selena.
Selena stared at him for a moment, one hand covering her chest, and the other placed in the man's palm as he led her out from under the table.
She was barefoot and blushing, whispering, "I didn't mean to..." Osvaldo's gaze fell on the torn clothes in front of her, and through the gap, he could vaguely see her tender skin.
His gaze instantly became deep and mysterious.
He hugged Selena’s waist and pulled her into his arms, letting her sit on his lap.
Selena lowered her head and lay obediently in the man's embrace, explaining in a low voice, "I just wanted to grab a book, but | didn't expect..." And now, she had caused such a misunderstanding.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOsvaldo's eerie black eyes stared at her, as if they were a bottomless abyss.
Selena didn't hear the man's response, her long lashes trembled, and her face blushed.
Osvaldo seemed to smile and, seeing she's nervous and shy expression, took off his coat and wrapped it around her.
Selena breathed a sigh of relief, raising her head to speak, but Osvaldo suddenly lowered his head and kissed her.
He held her and kissed her for a long time, his thin lips touching her ear as his warm and hot breath brushed against her earlobe.
"Next time you want to get something, call me," he whispered.
The study was too big, and she was too delicate, she could get hurt if she wasn't careful.
Selena was so embarrassed that she could barely lift her head.
Seeing she wanting to find a place to hide herself, Osvaldo picked up the book on the table and changed the subject, "Do you like this?" Selena breathed a sigh and tried to suppress her shyness, her eyes lit up as she looked at the book in Osvaldo's hand. "This is a rare book that I've been looking for, but couldn't find." Knowing that his wife was a bookworm, Osvaldo handed the book to Selena and said, "Just tell me if you want to read anything in the future.” Selena smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you, honey." Osvaldo chuckled and noticed that the study room didn't have a carpet, and Selena wasn't wearing shoes. He was worried that walking barefoot on the floor might make her sick, so he lifted her up and headed towards the bedroom.
Amidst the many suspicions and rumors of the capital's major aristocratic families, the day for the Baxter family to host a banquet for Kyra arrived.
On the morning of the banquet, the Baxter family's doors were wide open, with guests streaming in and out.
The head of the Baxter family, with a serious expression on his face, could barely contain his laughter as he looked at the people who arrived. Despite being dominant among second-tier aristocratic families, the Baxter family was still a step below the truly elite ones.
Most of the guests who attended their parties on a regular basis were from second-tier aristocratic families. The top-tier families were out of reach.
Today, however, so many big names had suddenly arrived, making it an unprecedented moment of glory.
Mr. Baxter himself could not have imagined that a daughter he had previously not valued much could bring such great honor to the Baxter family.
Not only that, if Miss Turner really came to the Baxter family, people from the four major families of the capital might show up! The mere thought of it made Mr. Baxter's heart tremble. He whispered to his assistant, "How are Kyra's clothes and etiquette? Has my wife found someone to teach her?" At such an important moment, he couldn't let his daughter, who had grown up outside, embarrass him! If he angered the Miss Turner and Miss Anderson, everything might go down the drain.
The assistant looked hesitant and said, "Mrs. Baxter has been in a bad mood these days because of Miss Kyra's situation and hasn't prepared these things for her." The assistant had not finished speaking, and Mr. Baxter suddenly shouted in a cold voice, "Shut up! The Baxter family no longer has Miss Constance. There is only one young lady, my biological daughter Kyra!" "Yes!" The assistant responded and then asked, "And what about Miss Constance... how should we handle her?" Constance offended 717 and not only received blame from 717 but was also publicly criticized. She currently faces the risk of imprisonment.
Under normal circumstances, Mr. Baxter would have immediately disowned Constance without hesitation and cut off all ties with her. However, Dante, who regards Constance as his life, is still by her side. Dante is also Osvaldo's brother.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMr. Baxter is also unsure whether Osvaldo will let Constance go just because of Dante, like he did last time.
If he rashly drives Constance out, he is afraid of Dante's retaliation.
Mr. Baxter said coldly, "Let's see how the situation develops. Tell everyone that when they see Miss Kyra later, they must address her as young lady!" "Yes!" After Mr. Baxter gave his instructions, he remembered that Mrs. Baxter had not prepared anything for Kyra on such an important occasion and became angry. But it was too late to help Kyra prepare anything now, so he had to quietly instruct, "Go tell someone to find a way to ensure that young lady's hands are not exposed in front of others!" Kyra's temperament and character were not suitable for public display, and exposing her deformed hands would only make people disgusted.
The assistant went to carry out the orders.
Just then, there was a sudden cry outside the door.
Mr. Baxter looked up and saw the two heirs of the Riddle family walking in hand in hand. He greeted them with great pleasure, "Mr. Riddle, Miss Riddle." Hattie was led by Leon, and when she saw the man smiling insincerely in front of her, she thought of Kyra's somewhat deformed hands and snorted coldly, turning her face away.
Leon rubbed she's head and said, "Hattie." Although she was unhappy, she knew that she couldn't lose reputation for her own brother in public and reluctantly said, "Mr.
Baxter." Leon smiled at Mr. Baxter, "She is spoiled. Please don't mind, Mr. Baxter." Although Mr. Baxter was a bit unhappy, he couldn't pick a fight with girl at such an occasion. Furthermore, the young lady in question was from the Riddle family and the only person qualified to share the entire inheritance with Leon. He couldn't show his displeasure even if he felt it.
Mr. Baxter said with a smile, "Never mind, Mr. Riddle. Please come in." Leon led Hattie inside.
The guests present immediately understood when they saw that even the two heirs of the Riddle family had shown up.
