Chapter 229 Tender Osvaldo saw the emotions in Selena’s eyes, his eyes darkened.
Even Hattie couldn't stop her determination to leave? What, or who, could she be thinking about so much? Creephia was her hometown, but Selena only treated it as a temporary landing place, while he and Hattie were only passing visitors in her life.
The light under the eyes of Osvaldo grew darker and darker.
Selena sensed his emotional perversity keenly and raised her head, looking at him quietly, "What's wrong?" Osvaldo cupped her chin and made her look him straight in the eyes, "The Riddle family represents a quarter of the world in the capital, if you don't protect her, she, sooner or later, will be eaten alive by those jackals and tigers." Selena's eyes sank.
No matter how tough Hattie was, she was only a child who had just turned thirteen years old.
Osvaldo had saved her, and was already benevolent.
There was no obligation to burden her with life.
Before she left, she had to teach Hattie how to live well in this world.
Selena looked at Hattie, said "good night" to Osvaldo, and turned to leave.
However, Osvaldo was one step ahead and circled her waist from behind.
With force, he took her into his arms.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSelena was caught off guard and was embraced, her slender back pressed against his chest through the thin fabric. As she was just about to speak, his low seductive voice came to her ears first, "Are you angry?" Selena was stunned.
She didn't react at first to the meaning of Osvaldo, and only on second thought did she understand his perversity and where it came from.
There was some laughter.
Selena's uninjured hand patted those two hands around her waist, explaining in a soft voice, "No, Hattie is not your responsibility, itis already a favour for you to save her, there is no obligation to protect her and help her take revenge." She really thought so.
There was absolutely nothing to be angry about.
But Osvaldo misunderstood before he behaved in such a perverse manner.
Osvaldo leaned on her shoulder, his eyes downcast as he surveyed her.
Selena could even feel his eyes, as if he had a sense of touch, crawling over every inch of her face little by little, examining her expression, as if to determine whether she had been aggrieved or not.
Selena felt amused and patted his hand seductively, coaxing him with the same tone as she coaxed Hattie, "No, it's just that it's too late, I'm sleepy and want to go to bed." Osvaldo seemed to be sure that she was really not angry and let go of her hand.
Selena was slightly relieved, his hands strangled too tightly, as if he wanted to melt her into his body, through the thin summer clothes, she could even feel the temperature of his skin, which made her inexplicably weak in the legs.
Selena suppressed her loss of composure and was about to lift her steps to leave, but behind her came the voice of Osvaldo again, "If..." Selena turned slightly sideways and looked over, meeting his handsome face, her cheeks flushed and her eyes tinged with laughter, "Yes?" Osvaldo walked over, leaned in slightly and looked her in the eyes, "I can protect her, for the rest of her life, if you ask me." Selena's dark eyes widened slightly, then she smiled and shook her head, "There is no one, who is obliged to take on the next person's lifetime. Hattie should walk her path herself, the most important thing is-" She paused, her eyes fell on Hattie's face with her eyes closed and her smile grew even wider, "I don't think this girl won't make it, her life, perhaps, will be more exciting than everyone else's." And what if | want to assume possession of you for the rest of your life? These words were not uttered by Osvaldo.
Because it is not yet time.
Selena is too sensible, to the point of coldness.
Without the leverage to fully leave her behind, any hint of wind beyond her expectations would have allowed her, without mercy, to sever all ties between them.
So gentle.
So cold.
Selena raised her eyes to her dark black eyes as Osvaldo was silent, so it seemed that he was angry? Was it because, she hadn't taken the initiative to ask him to take care of Hattie? The impression that Osvaldo gave Selena was always that of a gentleman.
He's even a very, very nice person.
Just like the girl in Attract to Love, the offspring of narcotics cops, the people under his command will take her in and gave her a reassuring shelter.
He even helped to collect evidence of those crimes.
How could such a seemingly cold but really gentle man treat Hattie indifferently? Thinking of this, Selena stepped forward and touched his face with her fingers, curving her lips in a smile, "I will tell you if | need your help." Osvaldo knew in his heart that she had misunderstood, but did not intend to explain.
If hiding his true nature and being a gentle and nice person would endear him to the young girl, what was so difficult about him just being the person she liked all the time? Osvaldo nodded with a smile.
Selena stared at the pretty face for a while before saying softly, "Good night." Osvaldo leaned over, kissed her forehead and whispered- "Good night." Since she knew that Selena would have nightmares in her sleep, Osvaldo would give her a goodnight kiss every night, and Selena gradually got used to it.
If there was a day when there was less, she would instead sleep less soundly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThat was why habit was such a terrible thing.
Osvaldo watched as Selena turned and went back to his room.
He stood in the darkness for a moment, then walked out.
At the same moment, Christ returned to the hospital.
His face was sullen and he was in a very soggy mood. He was already not easy to approach, and with that gloomy aura, he was even more intimidating to look at.
He had someone investigate the woman in Attract to Love, and the end result turned out to be that nothing had been found.
It was as if the girl had appeared and disappeared out of thin air.
Of course, Christ was not that gullible.
He knew that someone must have deliberately erased her whereabouts.
And that person, most likely, was Osvaldo.
His act of stepping in to save the girl today would have been very perverse.
Others might be deceived by Osvaldo's handsome face, but Christ, who had been working against him for so many years, knew better than anyone else how cold and ruthless his nature was underneath that exquisite and charming appearance.
Osvaldo was more ruthless than he was.
It would have been very strange for a cold and heartless man like that to and perversely step in to save a girl, and to specifically erase her trail afterwards.
