Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord novel Chapter 121

Chapter 121: Visitor with news (5)

"It is still warm," Selene said, relieved their dinner wasn’t ruined.

Selene sat on the right side of the table and picked up the wine to pour a glass for Xavier.

"Are you sure this is not your way of seducing me?" Xavier asked, hoping it was. However, it would take a lot of wine to affect him.

"No. Nothing about this was to get you in bed with me. Is it wrong for me to want to enjoy dinner alone with my husband without the servants around us? I can send for Harold to have our food placed in the dining hall," Selene said, knowing his answer after Xavier sat down. "I am still thinking of what to give you."

"Give me? For what?" Xavier asked, interested in what weighed on her mind.

"You are a man with everything you want at your fingertips. Since you have greatly helped me, I want to give you something in return but it is hard to find an answer so dinner will have to do for now. Here," Selene placed the glass of wine before him.

"There’s nothing that I need so do not trouble yourself with it. It wasn’t long ago you bought me a sword and I also learned you gifted Lucas something. What did you give him?" asked Xavier.

"Why does it matter what I gave to Lucas? He guards me well so I wanted to give him something as well. I shall have it stay between me and Lucas so you may not take it away from him. Is it wrong in your eyes for me to give him a gift?" Selene asked, picking up on a little jealousy but she had to be wrong.

It couldn’t be that Xavier was jealous over something so small.

Selene laughed. "I do not understand men."

"Men? Would you be happy if I gifted another woman at the same time I gave you something?"

"Ha. You are acting as though I gifted a man courting me. If you were to give Agnes something I would be thrilled since I know you are getting along. I don’t have any feelings for Lucas so it doesn’t matter and with how well I am starting to know you, you wouldn’t hand another woman a gift," Selene said, not the least bit concerned.

If Selene were to witness Xavier giving a gift to another woman, rather than be jealous Selene might feel he was sick.

"So again, men and your jealousy. You are acting like I kissed another man. Perhaps it is bad timing to say that," Selene muttered, looking away from Xavier.

Selene picked up her glass of wine to indulge herself in the taste.

"Is his gift better than mine?"

Selene almost choked on her wine as she laughed while sipping it. "Why in this world would you think that? Jealousy does not suit you but it is funny for me to watch. Why did Lucas even mention I handed him something? I gave him a dagger," she revealed. "While you have the sword. Happy?"

"Don’t give him anything. I already pay him a lot to watch over you," Xavier replied. When he looked at it further, he was paying a man to be near his wife. Protecting her was mostly the job but Lucas spent a lot of time with Selene.

"I like to treat the people around me well. How can I reward Agnes but not Lucas when he was right there with me? I am not going to ask that he return the dagger to me so I hope you will do something about your unwarranted jealousy," said Selene.

Selene was not the kind to take back a gift.

Xavier got over it now that he knew what the gift was. "It makes perfect sense for me to have the sword while he has a mere dagger." _{ƒreewebηoveℓ.com}
