Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord novel Chapter 213

Chapter 213: Eventful night (2)

Xavier returned to the room just as Selene sent Agnes out. He noticed a paper in Agnes’s hands which she held onto for dear life.

"Is Josephine settling in well? I’m afraid we might have left her side too fast after dinner," said Selene.

"My mother is going to bother Harold and you don’t need to be at her side all the time. It isn’t like someone died. It’s also not certain her being away from my father will last long," Xavier replied, closing the door behind him.

"Why do you say that? She has taken this big step to come here so I think she might have moved on from him. I mean, if she doesn’t I wouldn’t be upset but being away from each other seems to be the direction it will head for now," Selene said, not seeing how it could change unless Nathaniel changed.

"This is what they always do. They fight, she does something to make him realise how angry she is, and comes back to apologise then he messes up all over again. His issue of who I’ve married isn’t going to go away for a while. He’s going to drag it on until he gets what he wants," Xavier explained.

Xavier pulled his shirt over his head as he walked toward where Selene sat.

"So, if she’s not going to leave him then we have to deal with this until there’s a rare chance he dies? So, I should prepare myself to always have a room ready for your mother. I will keep this in mind," Selene said, disappointed this was not the end.

Xavier came to stand behind Selene to rub her shoulders. "You will not have to prepare a room for her each time. If my mother cannot realise my father won’t change then she will need to hide out somewhere else. I cannot have this going on forever."

"It cannot," Selene agreed with Xavier. "It would mean having your father come to look for her here. My heart aches for her because I have been in a position where I had to decide to leave. As long as she is happy with her decisions then I don’t mind where she is."

"I spoke to Lucas a moment ago. He spoke of seeing a priest who had been eyeing us and today, that priest had been speaking with Cassandra. Do you know anything about where she came from?" Xavier asked, planning to look more into where Cassandra came from.

Selene shook her head. "No, I didn’t want to know anything about her. I only know that he found her during his time out at war. I don’t know where. Could she be involved with the attacks? I have never seen a priest watching me before. Perhaps they have watched you before and now they are watching your wife."

"I have never troubled a church since I never had any reason to go near one. I have long suspected they would move on to target purebloods soon so that must be why they are now watching us. You shouldn’t have another outing like you did today anytime soon," Xavier suggested.

He only allowed it because of his mother.

"Wait," Selene touched his hand. "Aside from that, do you believe Gabriel might have brought someone who might be in on the attacks?"
