Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord novel Chapter 117

Chapter 117: Visitor with news (1)

"You may employ someone to deal with these matters for you. You are tiring yourself trying to do it alone," said Gabriel.

"It is the least I can do. Why spend that money when it can go toward something else? I quite like being so involved in all the planning. It makes me excited to think about the guests’ reactions. This is a chance for me to prove myself to others," Cassandra said, closing the book she used as a journal. "Have I not been giving you enough of my attention?"

"You have," Gabriel replied, holding his hand out to her.

Cassandra stood up, placing her hand on his before she sat down on his lap. "Still, I will give you more of my time now. The groom needs to be showered with love as well."

Gabriel gazed at her hand, twisting the ring he got for her. "I have been thinking of how wonderful you are. It would be even more wonderful if we were to have children soon. Don’t be so alarmed," he said, misunderstanding her reaction. "There is still a chance they would be like you."

Cassandra wished to know who put the idea of them having children in his head. Was it just her bad luck that after sharing her fear about this with Bryce, Gabriel now spoke about it?

She wasn’t ready to carry a child inside of her for Gabriel.

"I want to share the joy of bringing life into the world with you but I also want to enjoy our early marriage days with you. We don’t have to rush having children. They will come to us naturally. Still, it pleases my heart to know you think of these things. I will do my best when the time comes," Cassandra replied, kissing his cheek.

"You will be a good mother. I heard you have received countless invitations to gatherings around the town. They are recognising you as the lady you are now. Do well and I am certain in time you will gain the attention of the queen," said Gabriel.

"The queen?" Cassandra laughed, not believing it. "Why would she take interest in me? I have a long way to go before the royals take notice of me. For now, let them focus on you entering the palace. You will do well there."

"Oh!" Their talk was disturbed by a maid.

Gabriel glared at the small woman. "This better be good."

’A Fiona Carleton is requesting an audience with you. Should I welcome her in or turn her away?"

"Carleton?" Gabriel repeated the name. "Oliver’s wife? What would she be doing here? I will go to her."

"Who is it?" Cassandra asked, hearing the name for the first time.

"She is a friend of Selene. Strangely, she has come here. I was making use of her husband," said Gabriel. _{fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com}

Gabriel looked forward to what Fiona came to do. Was she here to ask for more money on behalf of Oliver or to yell at him for employing her husband to go against Selene? Fiona should know by now that he didn’t care for what she thought. She wasn’t a welcome guest here any longer.

Cassandra followed Gabriel to see this friend of Selene. What trouble was Selene sending to their home now?

When Gabriel went out to speak to Fiona, he first noticed how frantic she appeared.

"You must help me," Fiona said, causing Gabriel to smile. "My husband has gone missing and it is tied to what you paid him to do. Selene is abusing the power given to her by her husband’s name. I’m sure it was her who had made Oliver disappear. The guards didn’t question her enough."
