Revenge On Love Rats After Rebirth by Olivia Marsh novel Chapter 372

Chapter 372 An agreed marriage?

Selena froze, not seeing the slightest panic in her eyes, and smiled slightly, "I may have been harsh, so if I have frightened you, please forgive me."
The radiant pupils of Lauren's eyes glowed cold.
It is impossible for any girl, meeting her mother-in-law for the first time, not to be conscious of her image.
Lauren had seen Selena's fierce and domineering side with her own eyes and heard what she had said, yet Selena remained unchanged, without the slightest remorse or nervousness.
There are only two possibilities for such a situation.
First, Selena was certain that no matter what she had done, Osvaldo would be on her side, and could even rebel against his mother for her.
But they were only meeting for the first time, and she had no previous feud with Selena, and it was far better for Selena to redeem her image and please her than to offer a direct apology.
The possibility, therefore, is too remote.
That leaves only the second possibility, then.
Selena did not like Osvaldo.
She did not cove anything from Osvaldo, never wanting to spend the rest of her life with him, and naturally not caring what his family thinks of him.
When Selena saw that Lauren's breath was cold, she thought that Lauren was angry because of the trouble her scandal had caused for Osvaldo, and her brows were slightly frowned, "Madam, I feel sorry for what happened this time."
She paused and looked at Lauren's beautiful and elegant face, her tone solemn, "You don't have to feel embarrassed, he and I are not what you think. I am neither domineering nor vicious, let alone doing those unpleasant things. Even if you don't believe in me, you should believe in your own son, his eyesight would not be so bad."
Lauren stared at her with a complicated gaze, asking in a soft voice, "Is my son that bad? You really don't have feeling for him at all? And never considered being with him?"
Selena smiled faintly, "Osvaldo is a very good man."
If she was really just Selena of Creephia, maybe she would consider.
When the next thought burst into her mind unawares, Selena was dumb.
She felt that something was out of control, causing layers of panic, even inexplicable unease, to spread through her mind.
Selena suppressed that sudden surge of emotions, because of anxiety, her voice seemed extra cold and certain, "Madam, at first I married him secretly, because, I happened to need a husband, and he needs a wife, nothing to do with any feelings. I never thought of entering the door of the Anderson family, nor did I ever think of going to dominate him."
"Regarding this scandal, I will solve it as fast as I can, and if it is because of me that the Anderson family is brought into disrepute and the position of Osvaldo is threatened, then I can terminate the marriage at any time."
The fan, which was in the hand of Lauren, fell down on the table.
She looked across at the girl who was ready to leave her son at any moment, and after a moment, said something else, "I actually know your mother."
Selena was stunned.
It was only after a long time that she responded that Lauren should be talking about the real Selena's mother, Nevaeh.
"Twenty years ago, there were two very famous beauties in the capital, Nevaeh in the south and Lauren in the north," Lauren said to Selena, "Nevaeh was once a famous beauty in the capital."
Selena smiled faintly, "If my mother knew that you spoke of her in this way, she would be very happy, and you are beautiful too, Lady Lauren."
Lauren smiled, "You're a lot like her." The same intelligence, the same strength, the same bravery and petulance.
Selena smiled.
Does she look like Nevaeh?
They supposed to look like each other.
Selena was surprised by the fact that she looked like Selena of Creephia and resembled Nevaeh.
She really didn't seem to be much like her own mother.
Selena's eyes dimmed.
Thinking that Selena missed her mother, Lauren pushed an antique style box on the table in front of Selena, "I don't know back then, why Nevaeh gave me this before she left the capital, but I guess she should have wanted me to give it to you."
Selena was abruptly stunned, staring at the box that had been pushed to her hand, a sour emotion gradually spreading out in her heart.
Selena knew that it was the feelings of the dead Selena, who belonged to this body.
This was a relic of Nevaeh.
After a lapse of twenty years, it was handed over to her by a deceased person from that year.
Selena squeezed her fingers tightly, and after she looked at them for a moment, she touched them gently.
As if opening the legendary, Pandora's magic box, Selena opened the lid.
A slightly yellowed piece of parchment came into view.
Selena's heart pounded heavily.
She rubbed her brows, pushing down a certain somewhat suppressed and uncomfortable emotion.
It was a recipe for perfume.
Unlike those recipes that were snatched away and hijacked by Leah, the items that could be given to Lauren for safekeeping by Nevaeh must be of the most special existence.
Lauren looked at the recipe with a bit of nostalgia in her eyes, "Nevaeh was good at making perfume, which won the hearts of men. You are her daughter, with this, you will surely be able to regain your former glory."
Selena stared at the recipe for a moment before raising her head and smiling faintly at Lauren, "Many thanks, Madam."
She stood up and bent slightly to Lauren, "Good bye."
Selena lifted her steps to walk outside, and as her feet were about to step into the lift, Lauren's voice came from behind her, "Your mother was forced to leave the capital back then."
Selena's steps abruptly stalled, and after a few seconds of pause, she lifted her steps and stepped into the lift.
...
Downstairs.
Leia sat on the edge of her seat, worried that Selena would be aggrieved, and that Selena's temper would offend Lauren.
It will only be Osvaldo who will be in trouble.
The lift door opened and Selena stepped out from inside.
The eyes of the three people downstairs looked over instantly.
Selena's face was white, her eyebrows knitted, and she was clearly in a bad mood.
Luke frowned.
Vivian sneered.
Leia rushed to meet her, "Madam, are you all right?"
Selena shook her head, "It's alright, let's go back."
Leia turned back, gave a fierce glare at the gloating Vivian, and followed Selena out.
Luke frowned. Selena was not someone who would be easily influenced by the emotions of others.
Did Lauren really give her a hard time?
After a few more moments, the lift came down again and Lauren stepped out of it.
