Chapter 946 Why Do You Like Me? "Why... do you like me?" As the words fell, the room suddenly fell silent. Only the sound of raindrops outside the window remained.
Osvaldo gazed deeply at Selena and smiled with a voice that could almost melt one's eardrums. "Maybe it's because of... instinct?" It wasn't love at first sight in the truest sense, nor was it the gradual development of affection over time. It was that he saw her and knew she was the person he liked.
This answer was so unexpected that Selena was completely stunned after hearing it. There were countless reasons she could use to refute it, but the man's gaze and expression were too impeccable. Anyone who saw him would not doubt that he was lying.
His powerful aura and gentle gaze seemed to be telling the world how pure and beautiful his liking for her was.
Selena was deeply moved. After a moment, a shy and joyful smile appeared on her beautiful face. She hugged the man back with both hands and buried her rosy cheeks in his chest.
At the same time, a tall and handsome man in a white windbreaker walked out of the airport terminal. He appeared to be in his late twenties, with gentle features and an indescribable aura.
He held a white suitcase in one hand and looked at the waiting Black Crow outside the door, his lips slightly curving upwards. "Long time no see, Blackie." Black Crow's face suddenly turned dark. "I warn you, don't call me that name!" The man smiled and asked, "After so long, don't you miss your big brother?" Black Crow simply turned around and walked away. He really hated that self-righteous guy on the other side! The man laughed and followed after him. "Where is she?" "She's sleeping with her man," Black Crow replied bluntly.
The man was taken aback. "What?" After making sure that Osvaldo had fallen asleep, Selena quietly walked out of the room.
She changed into a black windbreaker, hands comfortably in her pockets, her slender back straight like a poplar tree as she walked down the stairs. She said to Leia, "Let's go back to the Turner family." Leia hesitated and glanced at the closed rooms upstairs. "But Madam, you haven't fully recovered..." Selena smiled slightly. "I feel good now." Leia instantly knew there was no arguing with her mistress.

Although Selena appeared gentle and easy-going, few people could change her mind once she had made a decision.
Leia turned and went to the car.
The sick mistress was going out, and the butler was extremely worried, but he couldn't stop her. He gave a lot of instructions and sent bodyguards to follow her secretly before finally letting go of his worries.
Selena stood on the porch, gazing at the misty rain for a while. Just before she stepped onto the car, she suddenly turned around and said, "Noah, if the young master wakes up, call me." The old butler was taken aback, then smiled and replied, "Okay." Selena got in the car, and Leia drove her back to the Turner's.
Half an hour later, their car met Black Crow's car at the entrance of the Turner family.
Leia agilely jumped out of the car, opened the umbrella, and opened the car door. Selena strolled out and immediately saw two figures standing in the rain a few steps away, one black and one white.
Selena's face softened a little, hands in her pockets as she walked over.
Leia followed behind, squinting to examine the two men with vastly different styles standing together. They looked exceptionally harmonious, which made her expression awkward.
Black Crow was someone she had met before, Selena's friend.
Three days ago, Selena's poisoning incident had shown everyone just how terrifyingly beautiful this young man was, even more so than a woman. Even her master spoke vaguely about him.
The man next to him gave her a feeling that was even more unfathomable than his black clothes.
Leia stared at the man who was smiling gently at Selena and raised her guard secretly. Selena walked up to them and raised her dark eyes.
The man took a step forward and affectionately touched Selena's hair, and the warmth that flowed between his eyes became much more real. "Selena, I'm Julian Foster," he said.
Selena smiled slightly at him.
Upon receiving news of Selena's return, Patrick walked out to greet her and saw Selena accompanied by Black Crow and a handsome man that caught his eye.
As Patrick approached and took Selena's hand, leading her back to the hall, he suggested that she should rest for a few more days.
Selena took a sip of water from the glass the butler handed her and couldn't resist complaining, "This is definitely the longest sleep I've ever had." After three days of sleeping, it was undeniable that she had rested well.
Patrick listened to Selena's playful response and smirked slightly. But before he could continue, Selena quickly changed the subject, her tone sounding a bit ominous when she asked about the situation with the research institute.

She had finally managed to gain control of the Turner family, only to have it all ruined when she was poisoned and rendered unconscious.
Knowing that it was impossible to find another opportunity like that again, Selena asked about the selection of the new department head.
Patrick informed her that the Shaw family and Poole family left after she passed out, and the research institute had recently released a new statement indicating that the head of the science department had been replaced, with the new department head to be selected within the next month.
It was evident that while the Turner family had missed their chance to pursue the case, the other party had taken advantage of the opportunity and made all the necessary arrangements.
Although Selena was disappointed, she was not discouraged, as she knew she would have plenty of opportunities once she entered the research institute.
She continued to inquire about how the new department head would be selected, and Patrick revealed that there was no concrete news yet, but the Shaw family was clearly supporting Diana's appointment. In order to polish her image, they were secretly contacting Union University.
Selena's hand holding the teacup paused as she asked in surprise, "The military's... school?" Patrick nodded and explained that Union University was the top military academy in H country, and every qualified graduate would directly enter the sixth district, becoming the future stars of H country.
"The Shaw family clearly wants to use those outstanding students to support Diana's succession as head of the science department," Patrick added, sounding a bit disappointed.
The biggest weakness of the Turner family was their rare bloodline, and although they had Lydia in the research institute, there was no one to rely on in Union University.
