Babel Novel
Chapter 755
In the end, Selena sniggered and burst into laughter as she gave up on keeping a straight face.
"You're out of your mind!" Pierre looked askance at her before he simply just looked away.
When the night set in, Selena exited the bathroom after her shower and saw Pierre absorbed in scrolling his phone. The moment he saw her, he quickly opened a new tab and put away his phone in a panicky manner, like he had done something wrong.
Soon, Selena buried herself in the blanket and switched off the lights on her headboard before she hugged Pierre. "Is there something you want to say to me?"
"What do you think I have to say to you?" Pierre looked askance at Selena, finding her strange as the lady kept smiling for no reason he could think of. What's wrong with her?
"Are you sure you don't know what you want to say to me?"Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Pierre rolled his eyes and said, "Are you waiting for me to congratulate you for reuniting with your wealthy and powerful family? Because of that, you're not alone anymore as your family will have your back. Is that what you want me to say?"
Selena looked at Pierre without blinking, knowing her husband was feeling somewhat bitter. "Finally, I got to hear the words from the bottom of your heart. Hmph! Shouldn't you be happy for me that I found my own family, Pierre Fowler? I can't believe that's how you feel instead." Selena rolled her eyes and lay back down.
"How do you think I feel?" Pierre sounded as if Selena had just read his mind.
"You should know better than I do." Selena intentionally played hard to get.
Fed up with Selena's haughty attitude, Pierre lost interest in finding out how she thought. "Enough talking. Let's get down to business." He then tried to undress her shirt, but the lady held onto it tightly without letting it go.
"What's wrong? I can't touch you now that you've reunited with your family?" Pierre sounded frustrated.
"You're still the most important
person." Selena gazed at Pierre in a
loving manner. Although she was initially thinking of messing with Pierre for a little while more, she subsequently gave up the idea because she reckoned both of them had too little time to spare for each other.
"What?" Pierre couldn't believe his ears.
"I'm going to tell you what I think right now. Regardless of my family and how well they treat me, you're always the most important person in my life."
Upon hearing Selena's sincere words, Pierre couldn't help but feel touched, staring at the lady with his eyes widened, as he didn't know what else he could say.
"We have three children, and I know
you've always thought that I
neglected you because of the kids. Now that I've reunited with my family you're probably thinking that I'm going to be distracted even more. But don't you worry because you're still the most important person in my life."
The most important person? Pierre was flattered when he heard Selena's reply.
"I've never told you about this before, but everyone has a different place in my heart. I am the first in my heart. I'm sorry to say that, Pierre, but after everything I've been through, I realize I need to take care of myself first before I can take care of anyone else, which is why I place myself in the first place. Otherwise, I can never make that happen. Then, you come as the second. After all, you're the person who spends the most time with me. As for our kids, they will eventually grow up, and when they do, I'll learn how to let go. After that, the kids take the third place in my heart, followed by Jude because
ever since my parents passed away,
she became my family."
Selena smiled calmly and said, "Therefore, you can rest assured knowing that no one can replace you in my heart."
After hearing Selena's words, Pierre couldn't help but feel guilty.
"Am I a little too selfish, Selena? Did you know? I was caught in a dilemma because I hope you'd have a family so that you can have more people who love you. Nevertheless, I'm also jealous at the same time because you're my only one, and I want to be your only one too."
