Task NO.1 How to Pursue Miss CEO novel Chapter 785

Chapter 785 Please Keep This a Secret

The guest’s appearance had caused Selena to be at a loss. She never thought that Chris—no, Douglas—would come. He wasn’t a member of the Fowlers anymore since he had abandoned that name.

The two sat in the living room and he was saddened at the sight of her thin frame. “Selena, oh wait, I shouldn’t call you that anymore.”

Selena lowered her head with a smile. “You’ve finally acknowledged that you’re Chris.”

Douglas shook his head. “I’m not Chris; Chris is dead. Just pretend that he’s gone forever as the man standing in front of you is the singer, Douglas Cloude.”

She could understand where he came from. “Okay, Douglas. I’ll call you Douglas from now on.”

“Have you… been okay?” Douglas was surprised at the news of Pierre’s passing. During that period, he had been absorbed in his work and music as well as being busy in his workshop that he knew nothing about the outside world.

It was only after he left the workshop upon completion of his song that he learned of the big news.

He could hardly believe that Pierre was dead at such a young age. It was even harder for him to imagine how Selena could get through such a difficult time with her being weak.

“I’m all right,” Selena slowly replied. “If you’re willing, you can still refer to me as your sister-in-law.”

Douglas shook his head. “No, I can see that you’re not okay. Is there anything I can help with?”

Even though he wasn’t a member of the Fowlers anymore, his affection for Pierre still remained. He had always looked up to his older brother, even if they weren’t brothers anymore.

“You’ve already been a great help by living well. Chris… no, I mean, Douglas, where have you been all this while? You know that your brother still thought about you and he wouldn’t have blamed you. Why did you leave? We’ve been searching for you for so long on top of being worried about you.”
