Chapter 620 Departure
They laughed, then Pierre kissed her. “I’ll be going now. Take care of yourself. And don’t push yourself, get it?”
She nodded. “I love you, honey.” He hugged her tightly. Oh, how he wished he didn’t have to let go, but he had to. “You should go now, or you’ll be late.” She pushed him away. Selena knew it’d be hard for him to leave if they kept it up.
“See you.” He let her go and turned around. Selena didn’t go after him, or she’d want to hold him again. Pierre looked up after he went down, and he saw Selena by the window, seeing him off. He waved at her, but she pulled the curtains down. Once he was out of sight, she let her tears flow.
It was a sleepless night for Selena. Her mind was in a mess, for all she could think of was the mission Pierre had to take.
Juniper woke up early the next morning, and she quickly came to see Selena. “I had a dream last night, Mommy. Daddy bought a giant teddy bear for me! Hey, where’s Daddy?”
“He went to work, sweetie.” “When’s he coming back? I thought he got me a teddy bear, so I came to look.” Juniper stared down, feeling crestfallen. “He’ll be back soon, but he won’t make it in time for the festival.”
Realization struck Juniper. “Oh, so that’s why we were wearing the new clothes yesterday. I see. That’s why we had the festival feast too, huh?”
Selena hugged Juniper. “Your daddy’s a hero, Juniper. He’s going to protect the world, so we’re gonna support him, alright?” “Really? Is Daddy really that awesome?”
