Jude’s eyes were filled with hesitation when she heard Selena’s question about her marriage. Nonetheless, her indecisive look was quickly replaced with a smiling face as she looked back at Selena again. “Of course! Mr. Doctor has already bought us a house, and it’s ready for renovation! He has put aside a sum of money for me to spend, and when I do so, I’ll leave nothing behind in his pocket. Anyway, what else can I ask for from a man who is willing to give his everything for me?”
Nevertheless, Selena only stared at Jude without saying a single word, unnerving the latter. “Hey, why are you looking at me like that? As if there is something written on my face!” Jude said before looking away.
“Well, Jude, I wouldn’t have suspected anything if you had just said of course. But now that you went on and explained with a long story, it kind of makes me feel you’re saying this to yourself, not me. Aren’t I right?”
Selena’s words hit the nail on the head, rendering Jude a little awkward and embarrassed. “Stop guessing, Selena! I told you earlier that I’m going to live a happy life with Mr. Doctor, didn’t I? It’s happening right now, isn’t it?”
Selena let out a sigh. “Jude, if—”
“There is no ‘if’!” Jude interrupted Selena’s speech and said, “I’ve already decided to marry him, so there is no ‘if’!”
After hearing that, Selena gazed at Jude, thinking that her friend was going to forget about Satan and move on with Wyatt. It wasn’t until now that she realized Jude couldn’t forget about Satan at all. In fact, she reckoned Jude still loved Satan or might even love him deeper than she thought.
“Alright! Since you’ve made up your mind, I’m with you to the end!” Selena smiled and hugged Jude. “No matter what you do, I’ll always be there for you!”
“That sounds more like it! See, this is why it’s so nice to have a rich friend. If I’m ever tired of working one day, I’ll sponge off you and spend my retirement life here in your place.” Jude stretched herself and said, “Just like a turtle that hides in its shell.”
