Be Spoiled After Rebirth (Selena and Osvaldo) novel Chapter 1643

Chapter 1643: Let her go.

The front door of the bamboo house opened, and Selena walked in barefoot.

Before her eyes was a green bamboo forest, with sleeping lotuses covering the tranquil pond. The sound of trickling water could be heard in her ears.

Under the wooden porch roof lay soft cushions. A man dressed in a white robe sat cross-legged on top of them, his deep black hair falling behind him. His features were profound and noble; he had a high nose bridge and skin that was uniquely pale and cold. He exuded both pure elegance like sunshine on snow as well as aristocratic dignity.

A butterfly flew onto his shoulder from an unknown place, gently flapping its wings.

Everything was quiet.

Selena quietly approached the man's side, just like she had countless times when she was younger. She laid down next to him with her head resting on his leg and closed her eyes peacefully.

After some time passed by unnoticed, the man slowly opened his eyes and looked down at his daughter's serene face. Having experienced life-and-death situations before made Selena grow up significantly since she last saw him.

The pitch-black pupils of the man rested upon Selena who still carried traces of childishness in her brows and eyes - ice-cold eyebrows that now held a touch of tenderness too.

At five years old when she first sat there beside him, Selena encountered many treacherous people early on despite all he taught her to be strong enough to overcome any obstacle thrown at her way.

He always taught her to be resilient through adversity because setbacks are wealth; only those who are not afraid to fail can stand up again after each fall fully understanding what it means to survive.

However, he overlooked one thing: that this girl is still just an 19-year-old young woman struggling with growing pains.

How much effort did it take for this child to get here today?

Selena woke up feeling warm inside amidst tranquility while looking into the depths of those profound eyes belonging only to one person -her father- whose love for their family knows no bounds nor conditions whatsoever!

Selena whispered, "Father."

The man's white fingers gently brushed Selena's black hair. "Go see your mother. She has been waiting for you."

Selena slowly sat up and faced the man in front of her. "Before I go, there is something I want to ask you."

Under the eaves, two white figures faced each other with a distant gap between them.

The man's eyes were calm. "Don't pursue anything about that person. Forget him as if he never existed."

"But I have seen him," Selena stubbornly looked at the man, "Unless you make me forget again, I cannot pretend he doesn't exist."

"But unfortunately-" Selena paused and a sharpness appeared in her eyes as she spoke slowly, "I am no longer who I was when I was five years old. Even you cannot make me forget what I don't want to forget."

The man looked at his daughter across from him. "Even if pursuing this matter will deeply hurt your mother?"

A crack appeared in Selena's calm face, "So... is he really related to me?"

The man looked at his daughter's pale face and said softly: "All that can be said is that currently it is the best outcome for everyone."

"If you insist on pursuing it will hurt many people who care about you - including yourself and your mother... and even that person himself."

Selena froze.

The man looked at his daughter's lost expression with a touch of pity in his eyes: "In this world not all truths need to be uncovered."

"When it hurts too many people not touching it is often the best choice."

Selena stared fixedly into her father's eyes: "Father… I don't understand…"

"I don't need to understand," the man lowered his eyelashes gently. "Don't go digging into everything about that person, don't touch anything related to him, and don't mention him in front of your mother."

Selena persisted in looking at him. "What can I do then?"
