Daddy, Chasing Mommy Back is On Us!

Selena assumed Pierre would spend the night in her house, as they did miss out on a chance as he had something to do last time. Noticing her disappointment, Juniper hopped over to hug her legs, after which Selena scooped her up in her arms. “What’s the matter?”

“Mommy, when will you marry Mr. Handsome?”

Visibly taken aback by the question, Selena pinched her on the nose. “You cheeky brat. Are you so eager to marry me off?”

“Yeah! I’ll have a daddy if you marry Mr. Handsome! I’ll also have Jamie and Jojo as brothers, so nobody will bully me ever again!” Cupping Selena’s face, Juniper went on, “Most importantly, someone will treasure my mommy from now on, and she won’t be alone!”

Her hopeful words gave Selena much warmth. “What do you even know about love? We’re still in the early phases of a romantic relationship, so it’s too soon to think of marriage.”

“It’s already time! I think Mr. Handsome is a good person and will be a great daddy!” Juniper wore a pout while scrutinizing Selena. “Mommy, you’ve got to get married soon.”

“Okay, okay! I will!” With that, Selena kissed her on the neck. The tingling sensation made Juniper laugh. Then, the two of them went into Juniper’s room. After putting Juniper to sleep, Selena returned to her room. Upon checking the dark room across from her window, she was certain that Pierre had gone out and wasn’t home.

However, her intuition was niggling, telling her things weren’t as simple as they seemed on the surface. In fact, she had a feeling that he was trying to put some distance between them, so she couldn’t help but wonder if he was bored of her.

The waiting game was the fun part when one was fishing, as one could build up their expectations during that time. However, the thrill would be gone as soon as the fish was caught. Is this what this is? Selena drew the curtains before getting ready to go to bed. Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

In the meantime, the embers of a cigarette could be seen glimmering in the darkness of the room across from Selena’s. Pierre was smoking, sitting on his bed. Knowing that Selena would keep on glancing his way, he turned off the lights early on.

The reason that he kept his distance wasn’t because of John’s orders, but he figured that he shouldn’t be with another woman considering his own status. He was planning to detach himself from her thoroughly.

According to his understanding of her, she would never bug him once he distanced himself, as she was hurt in the past. While she might grieve his disappearance, she would never pester him. However, he couldn’t help himself. During the past nights, she was all he could think of. He was even seeing her in his dreams. Alas, he had fallen for her after all.

Meanwhile, back in Yard Residence.

Despite the fact that it was already midnight, the house was still brightly lit, nor were the servants asleep. All of them already knew that Yard Group was declared bankrupt. The bankers had come during the day to inform them that their mortgage was overdue, so the house would be confiscated if they could no longer afford it. Therefore, the servants were all talking about finding their next employer.

Sitting on the sofa, Roland was smoking while Jezebelle sat in silence. On the other hand, Meredith was still busy at work.

“Why don’t you say something? Don’t stuff everything down! You’ve got to find us a solution!” Jezebelle spurred him, figuring that he should be making decisions since he was the family head.

“What else can I do? Didn’t I tell you we only have around ten million? That’s all we have! What other ways do I have to go about this?” he yelled at her. After Yard Group was sold off, Roland and the rest of the shareholders divided the money among themselves. Being the largest shareholder, he managed to get a little more than ten million.
