Be Spoiled After Rebirth (Selena and Osvaldo)

Chapter 1623: Here Comes

Selena lay in bed, listening to the sound of water coming from the bathroom. She bit her lip and waited for Osvaldo to emerge,

which he did about half an hour later wearing his pajamas.

He climbed into bed and Selena instinctively snuggled up to him, finding a comfortable spot in his arms. Looking up at him she

asked, "What's wrong?"

Osvaldo looked down at his little wife who had big round eyes that were pure and filled with concern.

After a moment of silence, he raised his hand and ran it through her hair before asking suddenly, "Selena, what if | was keeping

something very serious from you? What would you do?"

Selena blinked as she thought carefully for a moment before answering seriously. "As long as you're not hiding anything from me

involving other women then I'll forgive you."

This was her bottom line when it cto Osvaldo.

As for everything else... Selena felt like she could forgive this man for anything.

Osvaldo saw the seriousness in Selena's eyes and fell silent again before finally asking quietly,"What if... it had something to do

with the Empire?"

Selena observed Osvaldo's expression closely before leaning closer and staring into his eyes as she asked,"Did you accidentally

harm someone close tobecause of your involvement with them?"

This tOsvaldo remained silent even longer than before but unexpectedly denied it saying,"No."

Selena breathed a sigh of relief instantly smiling brightly saying,"That's good then! For everything else | can forgive you!"

Osvaldo stared at her intently for several moments before whispering softly,"When we return hI'll tell you something."

"Okay." Selena replied happily.

She touched the man's tired eyes and leaned in to give him a kiss. "Sleep, I'll stay with you," she whispered.

Osvaldo turned off the lights and held his little wife close, closing his eyes.

After two days of calm in the capital city, a response finally arrived from Central City.

Miss Lillian, the governing official of Central City, would personally go to the capital city to resolve this incident.

Patrick arrived at the villa early in the morning.

Selena woke up late and saw Patrick waiting for her when she cdownstairs. "Cousin, has there been any news from District

Six?" she asked with a raised eyebrow.

Patrick nodded and looked at her with concern. "Father askedto tell you that Miss Lillian brought three things with her to the

capital city."

"Those three things are likely to make it impossible for District Six officials to refuse a settlement," he continued. "And once they

settle, Robert will be released without charge."

Selena's face showed no surprise. If Lillian were a simple person, she wouldn't have been able to commit regicide like this. In

matters of power exchange always cfirst.

The capital city was both Selena's background and her constraint now that she had enjoyed its benefits; naturally there would be

costs as well.

Selena sat down at the table and nodded. "I understand, cousin. | have an idea of what's going on."

Compared to the three things Lillian brought, Selena was more interested in what her father had arranged for her.

But even with Lab 717 present, the research patents from Central City Research Institute were not enough to make those in District

Six excited.

So... what exactly did Lillian bring with her to the capital?

Patrick looked at Selena's overly calm face and remembered what Stanley had said earlier. The Turner family's daughter was

currently in Central City. When Selena went back, she would definitely meet with them. And then...

Patrick sighed softly and said, "Selena."

Selena turned her head to look at him and asked, "What is it?"

"If..." Patrick looked into those dark eyes for a moment before asking aloud, "Are your parents treating you well?"

Selena paused for a moment before smiling brightly and saying, "Very well! My father is the most powerful and wise man in the

world; all my abilities cfrom him." She continued on fondly about how loving and beautiful her mother was as well.

Patrick relaxed when he saw Selena's longing expression towards her parents; it made sense that such a spoiled yet lovable

personality could only cfrom growing up in a happy home.

Compared to this girl's family, the Turner family subjected their own daughter to a lifetof hardship and now she is missing. The

Turner family's daughter is now in Stanley's hands. And the person who can hinder Stanley the most is right in front of him.

Patrick felt a twinge of sympathy as he looked into Selena's eyes. "Selena, when you return to downtown, if you happen to come

across anyone related to the Turner family, could you... take care of her for me?"

For Selena's safety, Patrick couldn't tell her outright about Stanley's intentions. But that didn't stop him from giving her shints.

With this girl's intelligence, perhaps she would be able to discover the connection soon enough.

Selena wouldn't mistreat anyone from the Turner family. If she found out that their daughter was still alive, she would treat her

kindly.

Selena paused and looked at Patrick with a hint of scrutiny in her eyes. Meeting someone related to the Turner family downtown...

did he mean Callum?

"Hey cousin," Selena asked as she looked at Patrick intently. "During your campaign for institute president, what did Shaw Family

use against you? Did they threaten you with my whereabouts?"

Patrick was taken aback by how sharp Selena was; it seemed like she had hit upon something important.

At that tFreddie had threatened him with information about Selena's location.

Later, Patrick kept this matter hidden from everyone, but he didn't expect Selena to still remember it until now.

Unable to evade the question, Patrick had to explain further. "The Turner family does have a handle on something that's located in

the central city. You'll understand when you see it."

Selena pondered for a moment before nodding her head. "| understand, cousin. Anyone related to the Turner family will be treated

well by me."

Patrick was relieved that she understood and didn't linger any longer before leaving.

Selena spent the rest of her afternoon reading at her small villa until she received news from District Six.

Matilda personally cto tell her about it.

Looking at Matilda who sat across from her as an assistant judge, Selena asked softly, "Is Margot doing well in court?"

Matilda replied gently,"Miss Margot is doing very well and is playing with... Oletta."

"Oletta? Who's that?" Selena raised an eyebrow since she knew only she could be friends with Margot.

Matilda smiled, "It's a black tiger raised by Judge Long since it was young and has always liked Miss Margot."

Selena laughed because perhaps without human nature involved, Margot could play happily with animals since childhood.

Originally intending to ask Matilda about why she chere today but seeing Matilda staring at her face made Selena change

course."Why do you keep staring at my face?"

Matilda smiled gently,"l just think Miss Turner looks like someone I've seen before."
