Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord novel Chapter 212

Chapter 212: Eventful night (1)

"Is this enough for you? You have Harold circling for what you need. I have to inform you now that despite how close he is to you should Selene need anything then he will go running to her. You would have better luck sending for the head maid," Xavier suggested.

Josephine looked around the room which was decorated quickly for her to stay. "It is more than enough for me. I don’t mind losing Harold to Selene. She is a wonderful woman."

The more time Josephine spent with Selene the more she was reminded of how sweet Selene was as a child.

"Even though the world turned its back on Selene, she did not lose her kindness. I would not be so quick to say that kindness might ruin her since I saw first-hand that she knows when to put someone in their place. She did well at speaking up to say she didn’t need my help," said Josephine.

Josephine knew Selene started off trying to be respectful but then had enough of it.

Josephine continued to say, "I think if anyone pushes a little more she might snap. Part of me wants to see it happen to witness how far her anger would reach but the other part doesn’t want it to happen."

"I have many friends but I would never share with them what I shared with Selene. I know she doesn’t have any interest in seeing my world crumble or have a chance to laugh at me. She cares and that is something rare amongst us. She could use gossip about me to meet with others but she won’t. She wouldn’t win either way," Josephine said since she had more status.

"She is a good woman," Xavier agreed.

"Don’t mess this up. You will never hear the end of my voice if you do," said Josephine.

"You mean to tell me this was you being silent?"

Josephine approached Xavier and lightly tapped his hand. "This is me keeping out your way but if you lose her, I will be here and I will be loud. You have always claimed to be better than your father so be better to Selene. Don’t have her needing to stay with your child years later."

"The mere fact you think we would end up like you is another good reason why I should reconsider your place here. Don’t take what you feel about your marriage and fill Selene’s head with it. Our marriage is in a good place and I would hate to send you away to protect it."

"I would never do that. I am speaking as your mother since I want the best for you. What I speak about to Selene is different. There are certain lines I try not to cross but still, I think of her not having her mother at this time. How awful it must be," Josephine said.

Josephine couldn’t help thinking of showing more of a motherly side to Selene but then she worried about Selene not liking it. "How has she gotten by so long without anyone by her side?"
