Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord novel Chapter 118

Chapter 118: Visitor with news (2)

As the sun set on the town, Selene kept up with where Xavier was so he wouldn’t ruin the surprise of her having their dinner placed in their room. She later tasked Harold, who was more than happy, to remain at Xavier’s side to keep him away until it was time for dinner.

In his study, Xavier looked up from the paper in his hands to Harold standing still staring at him like he was some kind of play or famous art.

"For the last hour or so I have done my best to avoid your gaze but I cannot ignore it any longer. I see now why the other servants sometimes call you a phantom. What is it? What has Selene put you up to?" Xavier asked, knowing she was involved.

Who else would convince Harold to be away from his duties around the time of dinner?

Harold didn’t want to respond to give away Selene’s plans.

"So," Xavier leaned back on his chair. ’She has stolen you from me. There was a time when you would have told me what you knew. Now you are keeping secrets for Selene."

"I am still loyal to you," Harold promised.

"But you will not tell why you were sent here by Selene?" Xavier asked, only to receive silence. "So, there is a surprise waiting for me. It cannot be what I am thinking of since you are in on it. I have been away from my wife for too long."

Xavier decided it was time to see Selene. He was curious if she would be able to look him in the eye after what happened.

"Have you spoken about me to my wife?" Xavier inquired.

"You have told me to respond to any questions the lady might have. She was asking about the rumors and spoke of how calm you are. I have told her about the effects of your body going back to normal. You are not always like this," said Harold.

"Like what?" Xavier asked, needing more of an explanation.

"You tend to stay away from other purebloods but by now, you would have dealt with everyone interfering with you and the lady. You are not a cruel man in my eyes but you do not have patience for others who trouble you. You have always gotten problems out of the way before they greatly affect you. I told the lady not to fear you," Harold said, hoping this helped.

"It would be disappointing if she started to fear me. Be careful with what you say, Harold. My body has returned to normal as of this morning so I did not need you to inform Selene about it. Still, I am a happy husband to be cared for by her. I must see what she is up to now," Xavier said, getting up to leave the room. _{frёewebηovel.cѳm}

"Forgive me if I said too much. I always want to be honest with the lady."

"That is good but consider there are things I do not want her to worry about. What would I look like showing my wife a temper? Do not look sad since I am not angry with you. After all, you kept me away from ruining the surprise," said Xavier.

Xavier knew Harold would dwell on this a little longer but he couldn’t focus on the butler now. He was too excited to see what his wonderful wife was up to.

It couldn’t be that Selene intended to seduce him. Still, Xavier would love to be surprised by her seduction. All he could do was wait for such surprises.
