After lightly kissing her, he sat up as if nothing had happened.
The man put the book he was holding on the table, his tone cold. "The matter with Dante has been decided. You may leave now."
Joanna snorted and left, swaying her hips as she went. Luke gave a meaningful glance at the spot where Osvaldo's feet were and followed her out.
When the room had quieted down, Osvaldo bent down and reached out his hand to Selena.
Selena stared at him for a moment, one hand covering her chest, and the other placed in the man's palm as he led her out from under the table.
She was barefoot and blushing, whispering, "I didn't mean to..."
Osvaldo's gaze fell on the torn clothes in front of her, and through the gap, he could vaguely see her tender skin.
His gaze instantly became deep and mysterious.
He hugged Selena's waist and pulled her into his arms, letting her sit on his lap.
Selena lowered her head and lay obediently in the man's embrace, explaining in a low voice, "I just wanted to grab a book, but I didn't expect..."
And now, she had caused such a misunderstanding.
Osvaldo's eerie black eyes stared at her, as if they were a bottomless abyss.
Selena didn't hear the man's response, her long lashes trembled, and her face blushed.
Osvaldo seemed to smile and, seeing she's nervous and shy expression, took off his coat and wrapped it around her.
Selena breathed a sigh of relief, raising her head to speak, but Osvaldo suddenly lowered his head and kissed her.
He held her and kissed her for a long time, his thin lips touching her ear as his warm and hot breath brushed against her earlobe.
"Next time you want to get something, call me," he whispered.
The study was too big, and she was too delicate, she could get hurt if she wasn't careful.
Selena was so embarrassed that she could barely lift her head.
Seeing she wanting to find a place to hide herself, Osvaldo picked up the book on the table and changed the subject, "Do you like this?"
Selena breathed a sigh and tried to suppress her shyness, her eyes lit up as she looked at the book in Osvaldo's hand. "This is a rare book that I've been looking for, but couldn't find."
Knowing that his wife was a bookworm, Osvaldo handed the book to Selena and said, "Just tell me if you want to read anything in the future."
Selena smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you, honey."
Osvaldo chuckled and noticed that the study room didn't have a carpet, and Selena wasn't wearing shoes. He was worried that walking barefoot on the floor might make her sick, so he lifted her up and headed towards the bedroom.
...
Amidst the many suspicions and rumors of the capital's major aristocratic families, the day for the Baxter family to host a banquet for Kyra arrived.
On the morning of the banquet, the Baxter family's doors were wide open, with guests streaming in and out.
The head of the Baxter family, with a serious expression on his face, could barely contain his laughter as he looked at the people who arrived. Despite being dominant among second-tier aristocratic families, the Baxter family was still a step below the truly elite ones.
