Chapter 389
This is probably a rare antique, the Fowlers’ heirloom perhaps. Rich guys just love this kind of stuff. So he’s acknowledging me as his daughter-in-law? Selena sighed. Everything’s settled now, but we’ve broken up. There was nothing that could stop a couple from loving each other, unless the couple refused to stay together.
She kept the box and took the children home. Then she called her assistant to take the box back to Pierre.
On the other hand, Pierre wasn’t exactly happy over the past few days, and the whole company knew it. Doom and gloom hung over them, and everyone was careful about everything they did, just in case their boss would fire them in a fit of rage.
That was more so for Niall. He paid extra attention to everything he said. “President Fowler—”
“WHAT?” Pierre roared. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
Niall trembled. “Um, someone wants to see you. Miss Yard sent her.”
“What?” Pierre started getting nervous at the mention of Selena. “Get her in my office right away! Don’t let the guest wait!”
Selena’s assistant came in and placed the box on his desk. “Miss Yard wanted me to give you this, President Fowler. And also this.” She placed a red ring box on his desk.
A frown creased his forehead when he saw that. “Did she say anything?”
“No. She only told me to give this to you in person because it’s priceless.”
Pierre kept quiet for a while. “Is… Is she fine?”
“Yes. Her daughter’s discharged, so she can come back to work soon. Don’t worry, President Fowler. Our project can still go on even without Miss Yard.” The assistant didn’t get what Pierre was trying to ask.
“I see. You may leave now.”
The assistant nodded. “Yes. I shall take my leave now.” And she left. Niall was staring at Pierre, fidgeting restlessly.
“You get out too!” Pierre barked.
Niall scurried out, feeling vexed. He shouts at his own assistant, but smiles at Selena’s. Man.
Pierre opened the box and saw the engagement ring inside. She gave this back? So this is it, then. He stared at the ring and took a trip down memory lane. He remembered Selena saying that the ring was too big for her finger. We’re that incompatible, huh? I even got the ring wrong. He kept the ring and opened the other box, but what he saw shocked him. If I’m not mistaken, this is my family’s heirloom. He knew John had gone to look for Selena and passed her this set of jewelry.
“Dad has accepted her, huh?” He smiled bitterly. Fate loves to play some cruel jokes. They could overcome any trouble together, but when everything had settled down, they broke up. I miss you, Selena. Pierre’s longing was almost overwhelming.
…
Selena took the kids home. John wouldn’t take them away, since he had accepted her as a part of his family. Selena came back to the villa she designed for Juniper, the one beside Pierre’s place.
