Chapter 743 Chase Selena smiled, "You're back..." Osvaldo stood at the top of the stairs, his deep black eyes reflecting the figure that was walking towards him.
His blood-red lips curved slightly as he gently pulled the slender body into his arms, "Reluctant to part?" Selena looked into his eyes, shook her head, and spoke softly, "I believe that even if Hattie leaves me, she will still live well.” After a moment of silence, Osvaldo's cool fingers slid over her forehead, "Wait for me tomorrow, I'll accompany you to send her off." Selena widened her eyes slightly and subconsciously grabbed his sleeve, "Where are you going?" He had just returned, did that mean he was leaving again? Osvaldo held her tightly and leaned in slightly, resting his forehead against hers. His voice carried a deep sense of reproach and helplessness, "Something serious has come up recently, and it needs urgent resolution..." Selena stared at his eyes, "Is it something very serious?" Osvaldo remained motionless, his gaze deep and eerie.
Selena's heart inexplicably felt a sense of unease from his piercing gaze, and she tightened her grip on his sleeve, "Will you be in danger?” But Osvaldo didn't answer her question. His eerie gaze seemed to be shrouded in a shadow as he stared at her and asked, "After the script is finished, what do you plan to do next?" Selena was taken aback and looked at the man's expressionless face, feeling uneasy.
She moved her gaze away in a fluster but still spoke of her plans, "After the script is finished, | applied to the school, and the principal agreed to issue my graduation and degree certificates early. After the orphanage sign is made, it will be hung up when it's ready. The only thing left is to arrange for the Riddle family and the Walson family to leave, and then | can..." Go home.
She didn't say the last few words out loud, but the sense of anticipation in her voice was so clear. Osvaldo's dark gaze remained glued to her face, waiting for her to continue.
After the initial surge of emotion, Selena remembered that she had to leave this man who had been so good to her, and a bone- deep sense of loss crept up on her.
But...
He was living well. She couldn't drag him down. Osvaldo waited for a long time, but saw the girl bow her head and seemingly had no intention of saying the words he wanted to hear.
The man stared at her fiercely, as if he wanted to devour her alive. His eyes were as black as death, and there was a hint of absurd grievance hidden in them.
There seemed to be a heavy and suffocating emotion permeating the air.
For a long time.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn the dead silence, there was still no sound coming through.
Osvaldo suddenly raised his cold hands and grabbed Selena's delicate wrist. For the first time, he voluntarily pushed her hand away from his arm.
Feeling empty in her palm, Selena subconsciously raised her head.
Osvaldo had already turned around.
He didn't look at her, but stared at the night outside the door. His strange black eyes were a mixture of tenderness and coldness.
"It's too late, go and rest well," he said.
After speaking, he walked down the stairs.
Selena was stunned, watching Osvaldo leave without any regrets. She felt anxious and subconsciously chased after him.
But the man was tall and had long legs, and he walked fast. She couldn't catch up with him at all.
When Selena chased out of the door, Osvaldo had already stepped into the darkness.
She stood on the steps, watching the gradually disappearing figure, wanting to call him back, but her mouth moved several times without making a sound.
What should she say? After all, it was just... nothing.
That night, Selena had a rare sleepless night.
She couldn't stop thinking about Osvaldo's unusual emotions before leaving.
At the same time, she also wondered if the man had encountered any trouble recently, and if there was any danger.
She tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.
Finally, she got up in her pajamas and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, pulling back the curtains.
This place faced the front door.
If Osvaldo came back, she would be the first to see him.
But she waited for a long time, and didn't see the figure she was hoping for.
Selena blinked, and finally went back to bed with her arms wrapped around herself, closing her eyes.
After a moment, she picked up her phone from the table, turned it on, found Osvaldo's number, and originally planned to send a video message. But realizing it was not appropriate at night, she ultimately decided to send a text message instead.
"If there is anything, you must tell me. | still owe you many promises." After sending the message, Selena stared at her phone, waiting for the man to reply.
She thought that Osvaldo might be out and still awake, and seeing her message, he would reply to her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBut she waited from midnight until past two in the morning and still didn't receive any reply.
Selena placed her phone on the table and lay down again. She comforted herself, thinking that maybe Osvaldo had fallen asleep and hadn't seen her message at all.
Remembering that she had to send Hattie off tomorrow, Selena forced herself to sleep.
She closed her eyes and let her thoughts settle, soon falling asleep.
The latter half of the night passed quietly.
The next day, Selena woke up at six o'clock, and the first thing she did was to check her phone.
She opened her phone, expecting to see Osvaldo's response, but the screen was silent and empty, with nothing on it.
A sense of disappointment surged in Selena's heart. She looked at it and could only console herself that maybe the man hadn't woken up yet.
Selena got up and changed her clothes.
Due to staying up late, her face was pale, and there were faint dark circles under her eyes. Selena reluctantly put on light makeup for herself.
After washing up, she finally walked out of the room. Hattie had also gotten up. When she saw Selena outside the room, Hattie was stunned for a moment before obediently calling out, "Good morning, Selena.” Selena smiled, "Why did you wake up so early?" It was only past six now, and Hattie usually got up at seven.
Hattie looked at Selena's made-up face and pursed her lips. "Selena, did you not sleep well last night?" Selena was taken aback.
Hattie came over and held her hand, looking up at her and saying, "Selena, don't worry, | won't be in any danger, I'll live very well." Selena smiled, "I believe you." She held Hattie's hand and walked downstairs. The butler, seeing these two beautiful sisters coming down early in the morning, sighed slightly and looked at their faces.
After Selena took Hattie to eat breakfast, they drove to the airport.
At eight o'clock, Selena brought Hattie to the airport, and Leon's people also arrived at the same time. Leon was very punctual and did not bring any other members of the Riddle family except for himself.
Selena looked at Hattie's face and touched her hair, "Go." Hattie's eyes were moist.
