A group of people were waiting with downcast expressions when Osvaldo walked in with Selena through the front door.
Leia was momentarily stunned, but quickly greeted her, "Madam, you're back!"
Selena smiled slightly at the confused looks in the room and replied, "Yes."
Leia furrowed her brow and gave Osvaldo a suspicious look. "Did Young Master pick you up this morning?"
Selena guessed where this question was coming from and coughed nervously. "I ran into him last night and we ended up staying out together."
Leia breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Young Master wasn't getting involved with his first love again, everything would be fine.
With the main issue resolved, Selena went to her study to wait for Osvaldo's answer.
After a busy day, Selena received a call from Stanley in the evening.
Seeing Stanley's name on her phone reminded Selena that she had promised to meet someone with him yesterday.
Thinking about it for a moment, she left her study and changed clothes before knocking on Osvaldo's door to let him know she was leaving. "Honey, I'm going out now but I'll be back tonight."
As she turned around to leave after speaking those words though, he grabbed her from behind in an embrace.
Osvaldo held onto her tightly while kissing her hair gently before asking softly,"Where are you going?"
Selena thought for a moment before replying,"I'm meeting Stanley; he needs me for something."
Osvaldo stared at Selena's white profile for a moment, then ruffled her hair. "Call me if you need anything," he said.
Selena smiled and nodded.
Osvaldo stood on the stairs, watching Selena's slender figure grow smaller as she walked away. A hint of darkness crept into his eyes.
...
Outside the estate, Stanley's gaze fell upon Selena. Even though she wore a high-necked shirt and makeup to cover it up, he could still see the large petal-shaped hickey on her neck...
Stanley's expression darkened.
Selena noticed his gaze and blushed slightly, tilting her head in embarrassment.
Stanley quickly hid his strange look and opened the car door with a smile. "Let's go, Your Majesty."
Selena got into the back seat and casually asked, "Stanley, where are you taking me?"
Stanley smiled faintly. "You'll know when we get there."
Seeing Selena furrow her brows in confusion, Stanley lowered his eyelashes and added: "It should be good news for you."
Selena thought about it carefully but couldn't come up with any reason why it would be good news for her. But since Stanley wouldn't harm her anyway, she just let him do what he wanted.
...
At the same moment, in a quiet tea room, Horace walked in and let out a small sigh when he saw the man sitting there. "Your Majesty, the eldest son of the Soo family has taken the little princess to Rose Palace."
The man with black hair and white clothes set down his teacup. "It doesn't matter. Let her go."
The timing was about right.
Horace looked at the man's handsome and noble profile, wanting to speak but hesitating.
Both Your Majesty and Madam knew who was in Rose Palace.
Letting Selena know about their existence might not be such a good thing...
