Selena was about to answer, but Pierre was quicker. “My place. The kids will be living with us.”
Oh no, John’s going to feel down about this. Hence, Selena quickly added, “We’ll come over a lot, and you can visit us too if you miss the kids. Or give us a call and we’ll send them over to you.” She knew the elderly loved it the most when their family was around, and John loved the kids a lot, so Selena knew he’d want them to come back as often as possible.
Pierre threw her a glare, as if telling her to pipe down.
“We have a lot of servants here, and the boys are used to this place.”
“But the traffic here sucks,” Pierre retorted.
Then, John took a deep breath and said nothing. The grudge between them both had festered for years, so it was impossible for them to resolve it in days. Pierre noticed his silence, so he said, “We’ll be leaving now.”
With that, he pulled Selena away, and Selena hastily added, “We’ll be back soon.” She heaved a sigh when she got out of the study. Wow, it was depressing there. “Why did you talk to your father like that? It’s so disrespectful,” she chided. I’d probably blow up if I were John.
“He doesn’t deserve any respect.”
Selena noticed his anger, so she shifted the topic. “Take me to your room. I’ve never seen what you were like when you were a kid.”
