Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord novel Chapter 110

Chapter 110: Advice (1)

"We’ve got to stop meeting like this, Eugene. I’m starting to think that you’re out to ruin my marriage," said Xavier.

Eugene approached the gate to speak to the pair. "How so? I haven’t been in your wife’s ear to say anything bad about you. She has eyes so she will see a few things."

"You come here so often now that Selene might think I am always doing something wrong. I’ve not long gotten married and you’ve constantly brought nonsense to my door. What is it this time?" Xavier asked, searching for the woman Selene once called a friend.

Eugene turned around to see who Xavier was looking for. "I can’t help that there are always accusations against you and your wife. You’ll be happy to know that it isn’t the man you are thinking of this time."

Xavier knew that Fiona was close by. Did they honestly think he wouldn’t spot her?

"There’s another accusation that you had something to do with the disappearance of Oliver Carleton. His wife is adamant that you had a hand in it. I will say now that we don’t have any proof but we still need to address it," said Eugene.

"Why does it feel like you come running here whenever someone whispers my name? It is getting old, Eugene. Find something better to do with your time. I am not the man you should bother," Xavier gave his final warning.

"Unfortunately, it is a sensitive time in the town with all the attacks. I must look into everything and since others are afraid of you, I am the one always sent. Don’t act like you do not enjoy seeing that it is me at your gates," Eugene said, certain Xavier was fond of him by now.

Selene knew from Xavier’s unamused expression that what Eugene believed Xavier felt was far from the truth.

"How many other ways must I say I dislike you for you to understand it?" Xavier asked.

"As many other ways as you can think of. Now, where can I find Oliver? I was told you have more of a relationship with Oliver than Lord Blackthorn did," Eugene said, turning his attention to Selene.

Since her marriage to Xavier, Selene has been in trouble. Eugene is yet to figure out if the town has something against her because of the past or if she was trouble like the man beside her.

"I once had a friendship with Oliver," Selene replied.

"Had? Did you say that because he is no more?" Eugene probed. It might be hard to trip up Xavier but he was confident he would be better against Selene.

"I said had because our friendship ended some time ago. I’m sure his wife Fiona came to you about us. She accused us hours ago and I was the one who advised her to go to the guards," Selene responded.

"Hmm. I wasn’t told that she came here," Eugene said, finding that to be suspicious.

All that Eugene knew was that the lady had trouble with Selene and suspected it was taken out on her husband. He did not enjoy it when he wasn’t given the full story.

"Do you mind telling me about her visit? This was something she failed to mention to me," said Eugene.
