Love That Wasn't Meant to Last novel Chapter 54

"What are you talking about?" Zion seemed puzzled. He looked at me as if he were looking at an idiot.

"Isn't it exhausting, to always follow behind Selena like this?"

I wasn't sure if Selena truly loved me, but at least I can tell right now that she cared more about me than she did about Zion, by a long shot.

Zion was stunned for a while, clearly surprised that I would ask something like that.

Then he turned away, only to turn back around with a scoff. "I only do what I like to do. Don't you worry about it."

But, as if thinking of something else, his expression darkened. A hint of anger then crossed his face, and he said, "Hudson, don't get too full of yourself. I'll admit that right now Selena might be paying more attention to you, but give it time. I'll prove to you that she loves me more."

Watching his fierce determination, I felt inexplicably satisfied.

Though I wasn't sure if it was for myself or for Selena.

When I turned back to find Selena, she had her head down. She fixed her gaze on the laptop screen.

"Selena," I called out softly.

Upon hearing my voice, she looked up and gestured at her laptop. "You're here, Hudson. Come over and help me review this contract. I want to make sure there aren't any more issues."

Even though she had become a formidable, decisive businesswoman and CEO, Selena still liked to ask me for help when it came to reviewing contracts.

Back then, in order to support both her and myself, I spent an entire semester studying business law just for this.

Seeing her being focused and diligent now, the memories of those years came flashing back.
