After Selena finished speaking, she joyfully bypassed the man and headed upstairs.
The man looked at her back, feeling helpless and unsure of whether to stop her. He wanted to be firm, but due to some hesitation, he couldn't bring himself to do it. All he could do was watch as Selena rushed inside like rascal.
Selena looked at the man's flustered expression, and the joy in her heart grew stronger.
It was extremely difficult for her to be rude, given her upbringing.
Osvaldo had taught her for so long, and the biggest change in Selena was that she no longer knocked on his door at any time.
But for this big brother, she subconsciously felt that she could be unrestrained. It was like no matter what she did, he would unconditionally accept her, which was a kind of intimacy completely different from facing Osvaldo.
Selena pushed aside the person blocking her path, coquettish and joyful, and went upstairs with her skirt in hand.
"Miss, please stop..."
"My young master is already resting, you can't..."
No matter what the other person said, Selena ignored it and continued until she reached the outside of the room.
Selena took a deep breath, tidied her hair and skirt, and after confirming that there was nothing wrong, a sweet smile appeared on her somewhat pale face as she raised her hand and pushed open the door.
The room was dimly lit.
A slender figure sat quietly on the sofa with his back to her. Even if it was just a back view, it exuded a sense of elegance that was engraved in his bones.
The man who stopped Selena felt embarrassed and said, "Sorry, young master, this young lady..."
The man didn't turn around, and his voice was very flat, "It's okay, you can go."
The man looked at Selena with some concern, then left as if he had been pardoned.
Selena heard the familiar voice and blinked, like girl who had done something wrong, apologized, "I didn't mean to disturb your rest, big brother, I just..."
She was clever from a young age, with a cunning mind and good at persuasion, but at this moment, she was rare in confusion. "I wanted to thank you for saving me..."
After speaking, Selena stared at the man a few steps away from her with shining eyes, waiting for his response.
The man listened quietly. After a moment, he finally spoke up and asked, "Is there anything else?"
Selena was stunned for a moment, "There is... there is... I have some things to ask you..."
The man was silent for a few seconds, "I can't answer your question."
Selena shook her head quickly, "It's okay. Those things are not important. I just wanted to come and see you..."
There was silence for a few seconds.
The man's deep, hoarse voice finally spoke up, "You have seen me. You can go now."
Selena's smile disappeared, and every fiber of her being exuded a thick sense of disappointment.
After a moment of silence, she lowered her head, her eyelashes slightly wet. "Big brother, don't you want to see me?"
A moment of dead silence followed.
"The last time I saw you was an accident," the man's voice was low and hoarse. "After you go back, forget about it. Pretend that you've never seen me before."
The joy in Selena's eyes faded away, and in an instant, she was filled with bone-deep disappointment.
She had been so looking forward to seeing him, but big brother didn't want to see her.
Selena watched as his somewhat indifferent back disappeared, her heart aching.
"Also," the cold voice suddenly sounded in the dimly lit space.
Selena looked up hopefully, only to hear even more cold words, "Don't come again in the future."
Selena's eyes widened slightly, and she even sniffled uncontrollably.

The readers' comments on the novel: Revenge On Love Rats After Rebirth by Olivia Marsh
From the beginning of the story to page 148, the plot is just going in circles about fighting. So ridiculous and waste of time to read! I have no patience for these kind stories. Be more creative if you’re planning to write a book/story!!!...
Beautiful story...
