Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord novel Chapter 152

Chapter 152: News of a baby (1)

The next day, Selene woke to her body pressed against Xavier’s. It was a common theme in the morning which she had yet to figure out if it was Xavier’s doing or if she had a habit of seeking him out in her sleep.

How did she go from sleeping near the edge of the bed to lying in the centre with her head lying on his chest?

Selene made no attempts to be sneaky getting out of bed since it was likely Xavier was already awake. She wouldn’t fall for this a second time but before she left the bed, Selene pinched his hand. It had not left her mind that he was getting over the effects of almost going into a deep slumber.

"Will it be a habit for you to pinch me in the morning?" Xavier asked, holding her hand to stop her from leaving the bed. The sky wasn’t bright so he didn’t see any reason to leave their bed yet. "I am fine," he said, knowing the reason behind the pinch.

"I will determine if you are fine. Can you please let go of my hand? The day has started and you should stick with your plan of dealing with who stalks us. Well you," Selene said since there would be no reason to follow her. "I don’t do anything to make them concerned."

"You are with me. That is concerning enough," said Xavier. "You can stay in bed and do me. Let us see if I can make a wonderful hobby for you."

Selene slipped her hand out of Xavier’s hold. "Of all things you had to hear, why must it be that? I won’t ever make you be that to me. I am starting to wonder if it will be a good idea for you and Francesca to be in the same room."

Selene didn’t want Francesca to be giving Xavier any suggestions or gifts. She was already weak in the knees with his playfulness.

"I will be here on the estate for the day so you don’t need to worry about me. I must wait for Francesca to decide what time we need to visit her home. I thought I would wake up and be curious about the ball, but I am not," said Selene.

She wasn’t itching to find out what drama was there.

"I only look forward to speaking with a friend. Have you heard anything about the search for Oliver? It is one thing I am concerned about the guards coming to you for," Selene said, concerned about whether the guards found any hints.

"As long as Lucas did his part, I won’t be taken away. Even if they were to find a clue, I am not going anywhere," Xavier promised. "I once got bored and dangled clues before them yet here I lay now married to a beautiful woman."

"I am curious, how many have you killed? Can I walk around the outside of the estate and know that I am not stepping on anyone’s grave?" Selene asked.

Xavier laughed since it was silly to think he would ruin his land by burying fools on it. "You don’t need to worry about that. No one is here."

"Besides your guards. I am starting to think some are witchers and others are ghosts. I will prove it in the future," Selene said, knowing her search would one day pay off.

Selene got off the bed and walked to the door to see if Agnes was awake.
