Osvaldo's long arm wrapped around the little girl and pulled her into his embrace.
Selena obediently leaned against the man's chest, looking at the blue sky outside the floor-to-ceiling windows with a sweet smile on her lips.
After some time passed, Selena suddenly stood up and said to Osvaldo, "I'll go back and get ready."
Osvaldo gently tucked a strand of hair behind her ear and softly murmured in agreement.
The end of the capital incident was never their end. It was just another beginning. He would accompany her back to her true home country.
Selena quietly gazed at the handsome and gentle features of this man, feeling an indescribable warmth in her heart. She had hoped countless times to return home. Even more so, she had imagined countless ways to avenge those fallen comrades once she returned home. She had many plans but none included this man until now.
Before she didn't understand why she always excluded him despite his kindness towards her but gradually realized that it was because he wasn't part of her future plans which were too deep and distant for anyone else to understand.
"That was a path destined to be filled with ignorance and difficulties.
She was afraid he would get hurt.
She couldn't bear the consequences of him being in danger, maybe even dying.
So, she would subconsciously exclude him from anything she did.
She wanted him to have a safe and smooth future.
From the beginning, this man was different to her.
Although she had decided not to take him with her, he still ended up accompanying her home in the end.
Selena looked into his gentle and deep eyes and gently stroked his cheek. "Osvaldo, come with me... home."
The deep darkness in Osvaldo's eyes suddenly surged like a raging wave.
Something that had been empty for so long seemed to be filled at this moment.
It seemed that since their first encounter in Creephia, all he wanted was to be by her side.
He always worried about what would happen if he wasn't there when she cried or got hurt or scared or bullied...
This is an inexplicable bond that no one can understand.
It seems to have run through his life since the moment he was born."
His purpose in coming into this world seemed to be to meet her, fall in love with her, and then... protect her.
After a year of accompanying and protecting his little girl, she finally said the words he had been dreaming of.
She promised to hold his hand and never let go. From that moment on, her feelings for him became the most important part of her life. She would give everything for their love - emotions, responsibility, loyalty... everything that belonged to the beauty between two people who loved each other.
The man smiled contentedly as he looked at the innocent beauty of Selena's face and dark eyes. "Okay," he said softly.
A gentle breeze blew through the open window and lifted Selena's beautiful long hair. She leaned up on tiptoe and kissed him lightly on his forehead before stepping back with a smile. "See you tonight," she said.
"See you tonight," Osvaldo replied tenderly as he watched Selena walk out of his office.
Leia was waiting outside the door when Selena emerged from Osvaldo's office looking like she was radiating sweet love from head to toe. "Madam, are we going home?" Leia asked with a smile.
Selena tilted her head thoughtfully before answering: "Let's go to Lan Ting."
