Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord novel Chapter 185

Chapter 185: Meeting with friends (1)

When their time in the market was over, Selene and Xavier rode around in the carriage a bit more wasting time until they were to head to Francesca’s home.

"Are you tired? Maybe we should have gone home to rest before arriving," Selene said, thinking she might have overdone how much she did today.

It had been a long day but Selene enjoyed every bit of it. It was her first time being out around the town with Xavier. With the growing gossip and attacks, Selene didn’t know when another day like this would come so she had to enjoy it now.

"I am not tired but we will need some blood when we get there," Xavier replied.

"I do," Selene agreed, touching her temple. "I’ve been feeling a little faint for some time now. With all the fun that we were having, I forgot we needed blood."

"You enjoyed yourself that much?" Xavier asked, wanting to hear more about what she enjoyed.

Selene nodded her head. "I did. I’ve never once disliked our time together. Being out around the town together made me feel like we were a real married couple. I know that we are but there is something different about having a day out together."

Selene enjoyed their time at the estate but there were days when there was nothing to do and Xavier would be away.

Xavier placed his hand over Selene’s. "If you miss me or want to see me more when we are at home, you only have to say it. The times that I do come to see you, you have always been so quick to get away."

"That is only when you say something that makes me have to leave your side. You know what you do," Selene said, avoiding his gaze.

"I do because your reaction is worth it. Another day when it is safe, we can do this again or perhaps visit another town. We can go to where it would be harder for anyone to recognise you so you will not be approached. If the attacks get out of hand, I plan to take you out of town," Xavier informed Selene.

"Isn’t your estate the safest place to be? No one has ever gotten in since I have been there and I never heard stories of anyone getting in," Selene said, curious as to where she would go.

"It is safe but I don’t want to take the chance of anyone knowing where you are. If war breaks out, as safe as the estate might be, I don’t want you to be there. I will take you and everyone elsewhere," Xavier replied.

"And your mother. I have not heard from her for some time now. Is her relationship with your father well?" Selene questioned, wondering if a divorce was in the future for his parents.

"My mother is busy with my father but once that is all over, she will come to you again and you will miss the times she was away. If she leaves him, I will find a place on the estate for her to use. Perhaps one of the smaller homes on my land-"

"You cannot do that!" Selene interjected, refusing to let Xavier do as he planned. "There are plenty of rooms on the estate that are not used. It is not like we have guests."

"Those rooms are already taken," Xavier said, looking away from Selene now that they were before Francesca’s home.

"What?" Selene replied, confused as to what he meant. "What do you mean? Will we be having guests?"
