Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord novel Chapter 58

Chapter 58: Losing a friend (2)

Fiona stood up to meet her husband before he came to where Selene was now. He wasn’t to be back so soon which was why she wanted Selene to come at this time. "Excuse me for a moment, Selene."

Oliver Carleton entered his home and immediately began searching for his wife to get answers about the carriage out front along with the man who questioned him about entering his home. "Fiona, who has come?"

"Oliver," Fiona shushed him. "I have Selene over at the moment. The carriage and guard are with her. Should I fetch you something to drink or is there something you returned for?"

"Guest? We don’t have money to spare on you treating guests and I said I do not want that woman here. Why do you go out of your way to not listen to me? Don’t shush me," Oliver said, pushing past his wife to find where Selene was seated.

The last thing he needed amid their financial troubles was for it to be said that he was harbouring a traitor.

"Oliver," Fiona spoke softly but she knew Selene could hear them. "She is my friend and she is already here so leave us. I haven’t used any money for this. I prepared everything myself. Please," she pleaded, pulling on his arm to stop him.

It was already embarrassing for Fiona to have Selene overhear this.

"I don’t want you running around like a servant to serve anyone, especially not for that woman. I have already told you that I do not want her here. That should be enough for you to not go behind my back like this," Oliver angrily spoke.

"She is married to Lord Blackthorn," Fiona tried to reason with Oliver.

"That is all the more reason for you to distance yourself from her. You must start to think about yourself and realise why everyone distanced themselves from her. You will be burned if you keep her at your side. Send her away or will do it," said Oliver. _{fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓}

"I cannot. Oh, Selene," Fiona released her husband. "It is not as you heard."

"How isn’t it? Your husband does not want me here and had I known his anger was this bad, I would not have come. I figured what happened with my parents would make you want to distance yourself from me but I didn’t know your anger turned this bad," said Selene.

Selene didn’t like Oliver having this temper around her friend which was why she wanted to visit Fiona more often to see that she was well.

"You are not welcome here. I don’t care who you have married. Being with Lord Blackthorn will not change the past. Get out," Oliver pointed to the door.

"Oliver, we cannot shun her for what her parents did. Selene is not a traitor and we should not speak as we like to her. You must care who her husband is," Fiona tried to speak sense into her husband.

Fiona didn’t know what had gotten into Oliver for him to not be worried about Lord Blackthorn. She believed Selene wouldn’t go so far as to have her husband ruin them but they should still be careful.

"It is my fault. I did not tell Selene that you did not like her here. I didn’t attend her wedding so I thought of doing this to make up for it," said Fiona.
