Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord novel Chapter 318

Chapter 318: Fixing past mistakes (3)

On the Blackthorn estate, Josephine prepared her things she wanted to start moving to her home. She stood back as the maids and guards aided in placing her things on a cart and inside a carriage.

"You don’t have to move so fast," Selene said.

"Fast? This is very little of what I own. The deal was that I would wait for the attacks to be over, and now they are over. I need my own space, Selene. As fun as this was, I cannot completely do as I want here," Josephine said, looking forward to being the one making rules.

"I understand that, but I worry about you being alone," Selene said, stepping to the side as more of Jopsehine’s belongings came outside.

"Alone?" Jopsehine chuckled, humoured by what Selene said. "I will not be alone. I have plenty of friends who are looking forward to having my own home. They have not come here, so they wouldn’t bother Xavier. I also have my family."

Josephine was never going to be alone.

"Besides," Josephine continued to say, "Whenever I get bored, I will come here to see you. As long as I am still invited, of course. My departure needs to happen, but I am happy you want me to be close. I would have lost my mind if Nathaniel’s mother stayed so long."

"I enjoy your company. Sadly, everyone is leaving," Selene said, thinking of her parents, who left town already. "I will be happy to look forward to visiting your home. It gives me reason to get out of the estate."

Josephine was curious about who else was leaving, but there was something else she needed to address.

Josephine held Selene’s hands. "With Vivienne gone, you can be more comfortable attending gatherings. I can take you to a few if you want. Those women won’t be so fast to attack you to please Vivienne since she is no longer here."

Truthfully, Jospehine believed many of them would try to stick to Selene’s side now that Darius was gone and there wasn’t anyone who openly challenged Xavier as much as Darius did.

"That is kind of you, but I didn’t stop attending gatherings or any social events because of what Vivienne was doing. I didn’t have any time for it, and there were so many dangers around. I do plan to attend some with Francesca," said Selene.

Selene was happy to hear that Francesca was staying in town with her husband now that all the attacks were settling down. There was still a small chance Francesca might leave if the tension between humans and vampires got worse, but she was staying for now.

Josephine released Selene’s hands. "That’s good to hear. Xavier can stay inside all he wants, but you should go out to have some fun. You should attend one of the night plays with me. It is always fun."

Selene smiled and nodded her head, but she didn’t intend to attend a play with Josephine. When she didn’t want to attend with Xavier, how could she go with Josephine?

Josephine saw right through Selene’s smile. "You don’t want to come, and that’s fine. Are you coming with me to see my home, or are you standing here waiting for Xavier to return?"

"We should all go together to see your home. There is a visitor," Selene said, looking ahead at the gates.
