Chapter 821 Her Guess Was Correct
The men in the uniforms exchanged a glance, then turned to look at Selena as they said in unison, “He has retired.”
It was as if the weight was taken off her chest when she heard their answer. She had been afraid that Pierre was lying about his retirement. Nevertheless, she pressed on, “Is he really retired, or is that just another one of your elaborate lies?”
The men chuckled at this, and one of them said apologetically, “We’re sorry to have traumatized you with the last incident, Selena. I can assure you that we have wiped out the two major organizations as planned, and Pierre executed the mission perfectly. He is officially retired.”
It was only after hearing this that she broke into a bright smile. That’s good news. That’s really good news.
“One of the reasons for our visit today is to offer you our most sincere apology while making sure that you’re doing alright, but the other is to check up on Pierre and his condition. We wanted to see if he’s been well. Although he’s retired, we still see him as one of our own. We will take full responsibility for what has happened to him.”
Selena was confused by what the men were saying, and her thoughts were in a clamor as she stammered, “W-What condition? What are you taking full responsibility for? He’s fine, isn’t he?”
“Do you not know—”
Just then, Pierre stormed into the living room, cutting the men off mid-sentence as he thundered, “What are the both of you doing here?!”
Upon being roared at, the two uniformed men jumped in their seats, clearly baffled by what was going on.
Selena hurriedly rose to her feet as she shot Pierre an incredulous look. This was the first time since he came home that she had seen him so angry. Then, she watched as the two men straightened as well and followed him out of the room.
Having sent the men off, Pierre returned only to see Selena sitting in the bedroom with a blank look on her face.
“Do you feel like eating anything?” he asked warmly, resuming his usual caring disposition as he sauntered over to where she was and bringing himself to her eye level. He wrapped his arms around her waist and placed a gentle kiss on her belly, acting as though nothing had happened.
“Pierre, are you hiding something from me?”
