Selena chuckled, "Let's go."
Leia immediately turned around and made a phone call. Soon, Lady Lauren's car stopped outside the villa to pick up Selena. Selena took Leia with her and went to the designated location to meet Hattie.
Hattie was standing by the roadside with a backpack. Leia opened the car door, and Selena thought she would jump up happily as usual. But she saw Hattie standing on the roadside, looking at her with a difficult expression.
Selena raised her eyebrows and then saw someone open the car door behind Hattie. Leon walked out gracefully and smiled at her, "Lady Selena, do you have time to chat?"
Selena's eyes flickered slightly, but her expression remained calm, "Of course."
Lady Lauren smiled and walked down to take Hattie's hand, "I'll take Hattie for a walk and pick you up later."
Selena touched Hattie's hair, "Go ahead, nothing will happen."
Hattie frowned and glared at Leon warningly. If it weren't for Leon telling her that he had something important to discuss with Selena, she wouldn't have agreed to bring him to meet Selena.
After Lady Lauren and Hattie left, Selena turned and walked towards the café on the street. Leia looked at Leon strangely for a moment, then followed Selena.
Selena walked into the café and looked around before walking upstairs. Leon followed behind her and pushed open the door of a private room when Selena stopped.
Erica, who was sitting inside the room, immediately stood up when she heard the noise. She walked to the door and carefully looked at Selena for a moment. There was a hint of affection in her eyes as she said, "You've grown so much in the blink of an eye."
Selena looked at the gentle and elegant woman and showed no surprise on her face. Hearing her words, there was a faint glimmer in her eyes, "Mrs. Riddle."
"Don't call me that awkward name," Erica raised her chin, "you can call me Officer Erica!"
Selena smiled and readily complied, "Officer Erica."
Erica saw her smile and walked back to sit at the table, waving her hand at Leon, "I need to talk to Selena for a few moments. You can wait outside."
Leon glanced helplessly at his mother and eventually turned and walked out.
Erica personally poured a cup of tea for Selena and looked at the beautiful young girl in front of her, liking her more and more.
When she was young, she was injured while on a mission and after giving birth to Leon, she was not suitable to have any more children. So even though she always envied having a daughter, she couldn't have one of her own. It was inevitable that there was some regret.
And Selena bore some resemblance to Leon. If she had a daughter, she would surely be just as pretty and obedient as Selena.
"You look so much like Nevaeh..." Selena had become immune to people saying she looked like Nevaeh. After all, everyone who knew Nevaeh said the same thing.
Selena smiled faintly. "I'm different from my mother." Erica nodded. "Your personality is indeed more like your father's." Selena remained silent.
She could only comfort herself in secret. This was Selena's body. It was only natural that she was like her own parents.
Erica teased, "I've been wanting to meet you, but couldn't find the opportunity. Now I finally have."
Selena knew that this lady wouldn't want to meet her for no reason, but if Erica didn't bring it up, she wouldn't either. "I'm pretty busy, so please don't mind, Officer Erica."
Erica chuckled at her serious face. "No need to be so formal."
"In terms of feelings, your mother and I were good friends."
"In terms of reason, I only stand for justice and righteousness," Selena said.
Selena smiled, "Well, I'm sure my mother will recognize you as a friend even if she doesn't recognize her sister-in-law."
