Chapter 1035 Maria looked at the two little ones, absolutely delighted, and then turned to Aveline. "I've got shappy news to share as well." Selena guessed, "You're pregnant?" Maria nodded. "That's right." Selena gave her a thumbs-up. "Wow, that was fast! You said it and made it happen." Maria smiled. "I couldn't fall too far behind. I need to make sure my kid has the best opportunities and chances, right?" With their babies close in age to Ethan and Emma, Maria thought it would be perfect for them to grow up together, maybe even becchildhood sweethearts.
She looked at Selena and asked, "Weren't you eager at first too? Why haven't you made any moves yet?" Selena sighed. "I'm not sure. Honestly, I'm a little scared." Maria reassured her, "Take your time, no rush." Selena got up and left the room, heading outside for sfresh air. Seeing Aveline go through the struggles of pregnancy and the dangers of childbirth genuinely frightened her. On top of that, she worried she wouldn't be a good mother. She wandered into the garden, a bit of melancholy settling in her expression.
"What are you thinking about?" A familiar voice sounded behind her. She turned around and saw Gavin approaching. He was dressed in a sleek black suit, exuding an air of calm and restraint. His handsface and deep, unreadable eyes made it hard to guess his thoughts. "Nothing much, just admiring the flowers," Selena replied.
Gavin remarked, "You seem troubled. I almost thought you were planning a divorce." Selena looked at him, shocked and incredulous, not expecting such a comment from him.

Selena was left completely unsettled.
"Tsk, tsk, already married, and yet you've still got the heir of the Cooper family wrapped around your finger. Impressive," a voice called out, instantly recognizable to Selena.
That familiar tone made her expression darken.
She turned to see Jolie standing not far away, looking at her with a sly smile.
"What are you doing here?" Selena asked, her face cold.
e Jolie Quin walked over, her tone light, "The Quim family has business dealings with the Coopers, so I got an invitation too. But seriously... after all these years, you still haven't changed? Every tyou see me, it's like I'm your mortal enemy. I recall correctly, we're sisters, aren't we?" I.n Selena stared at her, the coldness in her gaze intensifying as she looked at Jolie's face, one that bore sresemblance to her own. Deep inside emotions she thought she had buried long ago began to churn, as if trying to break free.
Sisters.

Due to a fortune-teller's claim that Selena was cursed with bad luck destined to bring misfortune to anyone close to her, she had been. denied even the smallest bitof kindness her entire life. From childhood to adulthood, everything good was handed to Jolie, while she could only watch from the shadows, full of envy.
And now, after distancing herself from them, why were they still m showing up in her life? Why were they still trying to get close to her? It was nothing short of ironic.
"Stay away from me. You wouldn't want my bad luck to rub off on you," Selena said coldly, turning to leave.
"Hey!" Jolie called after her. "What's wrong with you? Cursing yourself? Since when have I ever been scared of you?" Selena pressed her lips together, not replying, and walked away.
She didn't want to see anyone from oteven the Quin family, not even Jelie who had never treated her maliciously. She wanted nothing to do with them.
