As the words "red agate" were about to blurt out, Osvaldo's phone suddenly buzzed.
Selena's words were stuck in her throat, and she instinctively looked over.
Osvaldo frowned and took out his phone. He originally wanted to hang up directly, but when he saw the flashing number on the screen, he pressed the answer button.
Lady Lauren's gentle and beautiful voice came from the phone, "Babe, | heard you gave me a goddaughter?" Selena's black pupils turned guiltily and silently moved away from Osvaldo's embrace. She sat there motionlessly, holding her delicate face, her eyes charmingly staring straight ahead.
Her appearance and expression were very similar to a doll displayed in a storefront.
She was now just a doll.
Dolls don't speak.
Just responsible for being beautiful.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSo please ignore her, thank you! After waiting for a while, Lady Lauren didn't hear Selena's response. She laughed and asked, "Where's my goddaughter? Why don't you let her come and greet her mother? It's not bad to have a considerate daughter if your son has been taken away by an outside vixen..." Selena raised eyebrows.
Is she the vixen being talked about? Osvaldo looked at Selena sitting beside him like a doll, feeling that she was extremely beautiful and lovely. He couldn't help but curve his bright thin lips and said, "She's asleep.” After a moment, Lady Lauren seemed to have suppressed some emotions and asked gently, "The goddaughter is asleep, what about my daughter-in-law? Let her come and talk to her mother-in-law..." "She's also asleep.” Lady Lauren choked up. Her gentle and beautiful voice seemed to be unable to maintain it anymore. "... It's not even nine o'clock yet." Osvaldo's face remained unchanged. "She's tired." "Because of you?" Lady Lauren asked.
Osvaldo replied calmly, "Yes." Selena's ears turned flushing.
Lady Lauren sighed, "Son, | understand that you are newlyweds and it's normal to be clingy, but you have no restraint. You have exhausted your wife before bedtime. How will you spend the long night ahead? Hasn't she scolded you for being worse than a beast?" Selena not only blushed in her ears but also her face turned flushing.
Osvaldo, however, still had that perfect poker face and said, "No." Lady Lauren's laughter was like a bell. "Sweetheart, as Selena's husband, so many people have been bullying her, but where were you? You married her, but she had to handle all the troubles on her own. You act like an invisible man. What's the use of having a husband like you?" Osvaldo lifted his eyelids and looked at Selena.
Selena regretted pretending to be a doll.
Can the doll speak now, please? Over the phone, Lady Lauren's weak accusing voice continued, "Are you only interested in her beauty and just think about how to sleep with her every day? Sleep with her fiercely and toss and turn with her?" Even Selena's neck turned scarlet in an instant.
Osvaldo looked at her blushing face, and the corners of his lips slightly curved.
"The most important thing is that you have been sleeping with her for so long, why haven't you made her pregnant?" Lady Lauren couldn't bear it anymore. "You were already running around as you father was at your age, son, you are not doing well..." Selena and Osvaldo fell silent.
Finally, Lady Lauren concluded, "She married you, but you only use her to sleep with. She's really losing out!" Selena began to seriously reflect on whether she had offended this gentle and beautiful lady.
Osvaldo saw Selena's pretty face trying to make a completely indifferent expression, but her ears and face were both red, which was extremely cute. He chuckled and touched her face, his voice carrying a hint of seductive breath. "You go back first." Selena only then realized that they had already returned to the castle.
She instantly broke out of her doll-like state, grabbed her bag, and ran into the gate as if she was fleeing.
If she listened any longer, she would have gone mad.
As Selena went back to the hall, Osvaldo's mood suddenly became much calmer, as if he had been detached from some kind of humanity. "What do you want?" Lady Lauren heard his cold voice, which was completely different from the tone he used when talking to Selena.
Lady Lauren had just regained her composure, but now she wanted to provoke jealousy again. However, the main issue still needed to be discussed. "I heard that she might be the daughter of the Turner family?" Osvaldo straightened his long legs and the black butterfly-like eyelashes hung down, hiding the unknown emotions in his eyes.
"It doesn't matter.” No matter what her identity is, where she comes from, as long as she is herself, it is enough.
Osvaldo's greatest panic is that he doesn't even know who she really is.
Lady Lauren sighed slightly, "I received some news at the Riddle family's banquet today. If she really is the daughter of the Turner family, then she may have a fiancé, he is..." Osvaldo's expression immediately became gloomy, "She's married!" Selena is married. The idea of a fiancé is pointless, as he has already disappeared.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLady Lauren was choked by the hostility in his voice, and felt a bit bitter, "Son, you have to think carefully. If she really is the daughter of the Turner family, what you will face is not just opposition from most of the families in the capital, but also..." Lady Lauren seemed to be afraid of something and didn't finish her sentence.
Osvaldo's ghostly eyes looked towards the direction of the second floor of the castle, with a gentle and eerie light in his eyes.
That was his room before, but now it is where Selena lives. A warm yellow light lit up, and Selena had already returned to her room.
The warm yellow light cast a silhouette under the floor-to-ceiling curtains.
Selena knew he was outside and deliberately walked out to open the curtains.
She stood on the balcony, her white hands holding her chin, smiling at him from afar, as if she had said something.
Separated by distance, Osvaldo did not hear, but he knew she said goodnight.
As long as Selena is in the castle, she says goodnight to him every night before going to bed. This seems to have become a habit.
So, Osvaldo also gently said "goodnight".
Selena seemed to hear it, smiled again, and turned back into the room.
Osvaldo watched her slender figure disappear before him, and there was suddenly a strong emotion in his tone, like a devout confession, "Do you know what | regret the most?" Lady Lauren seemed to anticipate what he was going to say, and her breath suddenly hitched.
