Chapter 1061 It's Too Early to Get Married "But these are things you only need to do when you grow up. Children don't need to worry about them. From now on, you can laugh when you want to laugh and cry when you want to cry." "I guarantee you will never be without a hagain." "From now on, this place is your home." The girl was stunned, as if she didn't understand Selena's words.
The other children also stared in amazement at the beautiful and gentle girl before them, as if they were in a dream.
The girl widened her eyes and timidly asked, "My home?" Selena smiled and replied, "Yes, your home." The girl was caught off guard and burst into tears, but quickly wiped them away and tried to smile, "Thank you..." Through the pale and weak face before her, Selena seemed to see her own childhood self.
She smiled and reached out, embracing the child in her arms and gently patting her back, "You don't have to endure it anymore.
No one will dare to bully you in the future." The girl stiffened in Selena's warm embrace for a while, then suddenly opened her mouth and burst into tears.
This cry seemed to open a certain switch, and the other children were also infected and began to cry one after another.
The principal and several teachers stood on the side, with moist eyes watching.
Leia took the gifts prepared by the butler from the car and handed them out to the group of children one by one.
Each one received their own gift, held it tightly, and looked at Selena with joy and nervousness.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe principal walked over and said, "Lady Selena, please hang the sign for this hyourself." Selena looked at the sign that had been made.
It was not very elaborate, but very warm and simple at first glance.
Selena took the scissors and cut off the red flower ball. With the help of others, she hung the sign up.
The words "Heartfelt" were reflected in the innocent and nervous eyes of the children.
Sof them didn't even know what this words meant, but they all felt an unprecedented warmth.
Selena looked up at the sign and smiled slightly.
She had only one wish left to fulfill.
When they left "Heartfelt", it was already noon.
Leia looked at Selena's tired face and said, "Madame, Young Master said not to tire you out too much. Let's go hand rest first." Selena closed her eyes on the sofa and softly responded.
Leia drove back to the castle.
After lunch, Selena went upstairs for a nap.
In the afternoon, she continued sitting in the garden and drawing design plans.
Patrick called, "How did things go at the orphanage?" Selena replied while wearing earphones and drawing, "Very smoothly. He helpedtake care of everything, and | just went to get ribbon-cutting in the end." Patrick knew who Selena was referring to.
Only that man could give her gifts without making her feel burdened.
Patrick remembered the Soo family who had clooking for them and sighed slightly.
Selena noticed his unusual mood and asked, "Is something wrong with Capital?" "No," Patrick replied in a gentle voice, "It's just the research institute. They called a few times asking when you would cback to work." After all, it was rare for a department head to disappear on the day they took office.
Selena raised eyebrows and asked, "When did the people at the research institute becso kind-hearted?" Don't they want her as far away from them as possible? "The research institute urgently needs you to help restore their reputation," Patrick said.
"What reputation?" Selena was surprised.
Patrick laughed. Selena was good at everything, except for one thing - she seemed to have no correct perception of herself.
"Do you know how many people in District Six and the research institute are waiting for you to cback?" Selena had been inundated with messages from District Six and Union University these past few days.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCombined with her promise to release a set of mechanical principles applicable to the military, how could it not cause a stir? Selena also remembered her promise and laughed, "Those old guys at the research institute probably wantto fail and embarrass myself when | go back, right?" Patrick sighed, "Selena..." Selena smiled, looking at the drawing she had started, "It's okay, let them wait." Patrick knew that the matter was settled from her tone.
He had been trying to find an opportunity to talk to Selena about the Soo family's engagement, but Selena's mind was currently occupied with Osvaldo, and he didn't know how to broach the subject.
Selena looked up from the sketch she was working on and noticed Patrick hesitating to speak. "What's wrong?" she asked.
After a moment of silence, Patrick asked, "Selena, is that man treating you well?" "Very well," Selena said, smiling involuntarily at the thought of Osvaldo. "I've never met a man outside who's better than him." "If it weren't for him in Creephia, | might not have left so smoothly." Looking at the finished sketch, Selena smiled sweetly.
As Patrick listened to her talk about Creephia, he grew even more silent. Finally, he asked, "Are you sure it's him?" Selena blinked.
Then she realized that Patrick really had something to tell her. She turned off the computer and said seriously, "I made a deal with him. After | avenge my father and mother, I'll be his wife." Patrick remained silent for an even longer tbefore asking softly, "Selena, if that man isn't really who you think he is, would you still like him?" Selena's smile faded. She sat in the garden, looking at the colorful flowers all around, and her gaze seemed to drift for a moment before she said, "He won't hurt me." "He'll protect me." "When I'm hurt, he's obviously angry, but he can't bear to scold me." "When I'm in danger, he tellsnot to be afraid." "When he's around, | never have nightmares." Selena's slender fingers brushed her forehead slowly. "If | were to get married in the future and beca man's true wife, then probably..." Selena smiled. "It would be him." As Selena spoke with anticipation in her voice, a hint of bitterness crept into Patrick's heart. It was understandable after all, given how long they had been together and how extremely clever Selena was.
She couldn't have failed to notice Osvaldo's abnormal behavior.
It was just that she was willing to tolerate it because of her love for him.
"I see," Patrick said.
"He treatswell, and | like him, so..." Selena said.
Selena didn't say it, but Patrick already knew what would cnext.
With a soft sigh, Patrick said, "You're still young. It's fine to fall in love, but marriage can wait."
