Hattie's eyes were a bit red as she looked at Selena and asked, "Selena, will you come to see me?"
Selena was silent for a moment and then smiled. "If you miss me, Hattie, you can call me."
Hattie hugged Leon's leg sadly.
Leon touched her hair and stared at Selena. There was a hint of complexity in his voice. "Lady Selena, have you been following the developments in capital recently?"
Selena replied calmly, "No."
Thinking about the recent slight unease, she frowned and asked, "Is there something happening in capital?"
Leon's gaze became chilly and he was about to speak when a sharp braking sound interrupted him at the right time.
It broke off Leon's words perfectly.
Selena turned around and Osvaldo got out of the car by opening the door.
The man was dressed in black, his eyes were cold, and he exuded a powerful aura.
Selena's eyes lit up and she walked over to him.
Leon paused for a moment, his cold gaze swept heavily across Osvaldo's expressionless face, and then he slowly lowered his eyelids after confirming something.
Selena walked up to Osvaldo, grabbed his arm, and said, "You're here."
He had left suddenly last night, and although he didn't say anything serious, she vaguely sensed that his emotions were not good.
Coupled with not receiving a reply all morning, she thought he wouldn't come.
Osvaldo stared at her for a moment, his voice devoid of any emotion. "I'll come earlier next time."
Selena smiled.
Hattie ran over, looked up at him and said, "Brother-in-law, you have to treat Selena well and not let anyone bully her!"
She spoke with an unpleasant expression, staring at the woman behind Osvaldo.
Reeva hugged some documents and smiled kindly at her.
Hattie snorted.
This "brother-in-law" clearly caught everyone off guard.
Leon's eyelids twitched.
The people behind him raised their heads in unison with a confused expression.
Osvaldo hugged Selena's waist, and his crimson lips hooked slightly when he heard Hattie. "Alright."
Hattie hugged Selena reluctantly, then turned and left.
Leon held her hand and, under the escort of the group of people, the siblings boarded the plane back to capital.
After the plane took off, Selena withdrew her gaze and looked at the man beside her. "Let's go home."
She thought that since the man didn't come home all night last night, he should be going back with her now.
Osvaldo's gaze slid over her lightly made-up face, and his slender and handsome fingers touched her cheek. His tone softened, "I still have some things to take care of, so I'll have someone send you back."
Seeing him about to leave, Selena bit her lip and suddenly asked, "Did you see the message I sent you?"
Osvaldo stared into her eyes and successfully captured a hint of reluctance and grievance. Then he suddenly smiled.
He lowered his head and pressed his lips to her ear, his gentle voice causing her heart to tremble. "I saw it, but I don't know how to respond. Why don't you teach me how a man should complain and collect debts from his own wife?"
Selena blinked and whispered, "I didn't mean anything else, I was just worried about you..."
Osvaldo pinched her chin and stared at her haggard face for a while before suddenly biting her lips in anger. "You should know me better..."
...
On the plane.
Hattie sat on the sofa with her head down, looking dejected.
Leon walked over with a cup of hot coffee and rubbed her hair. "Are you unhappy about going home?"
Hattie raised her head, her eyes red, and asked, "Brother, will I never see Selena again?"
Leon remained silent for a moment and gave an unexpected answer, "Not necessarily."
"Brother, you don't have to lie to me. Selena won't come to see me," Hattie lowered her head, every strand of hair exuding sadness and loss. "She doesn't like the Riddle family, and she doesn't even want to have any relationship with them..."
Leon looked at his sister's sad expression and changed the subject, "Grandma and Uncle David are waiting for you at the airport."
Hattie's beautiful face immediately turned cold.
Leon looked into her eyes and suddenly understood Selena's intentions for not allowing any Riddle family members to come to Creephia to pick up Hattie.
Perhaps it wasn't because of Selena herself.
If Hattie saw any Riddle family members at Creephia airport, she would be sad even during her farewell.
Leon comforted her, "You will see him sooner or later. If he treats you badly or says hurtful things, you can come tell me."
Hattie raised her head and looked at Leon. "Brother, I'm not afraid to see him. I don't want to see grandpa and grandma more than him..."
Leon frowned.
Hattie sneered, "The Riddle family has thin blood. Grandpa and grandma always want their descendants to live in harmony. They love me, but they also love those two people equally. They just want to completely cover up my mother's death and pretend that nothing happened, and that we can live in harmony as a family."
"But brother..." Hattie cried, "My mother died so tragically, why can't they see it?"

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...
