She had already taken the most crucial step tentatively. Would it still be far before she completely accepted him, fell in love with him, and became his wife?
Selena originally wanted to say that there was nothing important enough to call him. But facing the man's almost drowning gaze, she couldn't say the words that were on the tip of her tongue. Selena suppressed her anxiety and blushed, saying, "I'll try my best."
Upon hearing this promise, Osvaldo smiled joyfully. He took Selena's hand and led her to wash her hands before the two sat at the dining table and enjoyed a delicious dinner. During the meal, no one showed the slightest hint of nervousness about the upcoming competition for the position of the director of the research institute.
After dinner, Selena followed Osvaldo to the basement to practice martial arts, and by 10 o'clock, she was ready to go to bed.
Compared to Selena, who was already fast asleep, there weren't many people in other capital families who could sleep that night. Especially the Shaw family, where the lights in the study were almost on all night.
After the other members of the family left, Vivian pushed open the door and walked in.
Freddie sat behind the desk, looking tired. When he heard the sound, he looked up at Vivian for a moment.
Vivian walked over and shouted, "Brother..."
Freddie raised her hand and rubbed her brow. Suddenly he lowered her hand and stared at Vivian with heavy eyes.
Vivian met his eyes, felt somehow fearful, "Brother, what happened to you?"
Freddie looked at her for a long time and then said, "Forget that man."
From the moment he decided to cooperate with Cassius, the Shaw family was destined to be on the wrong side of the Turner family.
There would be no mercy on the Shaw family from Cassius.
And between them more than ten years of brotherly love also broke.
He even gave up the brotherly love, Vivian's unrequited love for more than ten years also can only completely come to an end.
Vivian was stunned, burst into tears, "Brother, what are you talking about? Are you drunk..."
In the past, Freddie had never told her to give up, although he did not like that.
Outside, people called her shameless, too confident about herself, but unexpectedly, even Freddie said so now.
Vivian can not accept, tears gushed out.
Freddie looked at her expression and could not bear it. He looked away, but his voice was firm. "Don't go to the Anderson's again."
Vivian was shocked and her voice changed as she exclaimed, "Brother!"
Tears streamed down her face. For over a decade, she had relied on her relationship with Freddie and Osvaldo to get closer to the Anderson family.
Even after Selena appeared and she became a laughingstock, she never missed a chance to get closer to that man.
But Freddie had asked her to give up on him, to cut off all opportunities to get closer to him. "Those women may not be polite, but they're telling the truth," Freddie said coldly. "That man will never like you, not in this lifetime."
Before Selena appeared, he hadn't fallen for Vivian.
After Selena appeared, he never would.
Everyone could see the Anderson family's infatuation. If Kiera could turn Cassius, once a proud son of heaven, into a traitor, what chance did Osvaldo have?
He would do anything for Selena.
Vivian had provoked Selena so many times, but he didn't retaliate. One reason was that he knew Vivian was no threat to Selena, and he disdained hitting a woman. Another reason was that he gave her a choice: give up the glamour and wealth of the Shaw family and repay the Turner family, or oppose Selena to the end.
Obviously, he had already made his choice when he decided to work with Cassius.
