Chapter 8
They met one of the few times, and it was only the morning after he returned home and she served him breakfast.
There was nothing to say between them, he didn't want to have any communication with her, and she seemed to be aware of this and didn't interfere with him.
She has been in peace for so long and he was very satisfied with it. He has not connected his grievances with the Pei family anymore. He even thought that one day after he vented the sorrow and grievances in his heart, then he would be able to stay with her quietly for the rest of his life.
He was finally starting to think that she was her own person and that her family was the Pei family.
But the facts have proved that she was no exception, and she also had the same ruthlessness and coldness of the Pei family in her bones.
That person had already left him. From now on, he would never find anything like her in this world, even if he was Eugene Lu, even if he has exhausted his life's time and energy.
He already has a clear understanding of these things, and decided that he would no longer make useless struggles, nor would he resent everything like an irrational teenager, but because the Pei family owed him, he would never have the opportunity to seek justice for Sandra.
He thought that all this would be over soon, that he could let go, but the first beauty, the deepest memory, and the strongest feeling Sandra left for him were all destroyed by the woman he took in.
The moment the frame fell, he once again felt his inability to do anything before, just like when he was forced to let Sandra go when the Pei family decided to send her off to Christian Huo. The things he cherished was shattered and have become unrecognizable once again in front of him many years later.
A moment of anger overwhelmed his firm reasoning. It turned out that he was impulsive and powerless when he encountered something about her.
It was unclear whether the panic in Selena's eyes stimulated him at that moment, or his irritation at his inability to control his emotions, or the loss of seeing that person leave again. It just so happened that there was a member of the Pei family next to him, and that it was the woman who was sent to him to quell his anger, his wife, and it was the same woman who turned out to have ruined his treasure right in front of him.
Everything just happened.
After waking up that day, he left the villa angrily.
So far, he has never explored why he was angry, and he was unwilling to see Selena again. However, after his anger has gradually subsided in the next few days, he realized that he suddenly couldn't stop thinking about her after that night's encounter.
After coming back here and watching her silhouette sleep peacefully in the dark, he couldn't help but appreciate the quietness of this moment.
The chaotic thoughts seemed to have toned down because of the calmness around them. They were no longer wild and arguing like entangled strangers.
He took off his clothes, went to bed and slept next to her. He raised her head slightly and placed it on his shoulder as he put his other arm over her waist.
The next morning, the soft sunlight seeped through the curtained windows, and the lush trees outside the villa sang the song of birds. In the big bed in the bedroom, Selena, who was finally able to get a good night's sleep last night, still felt a little tired. Feeling lazy and wanting to stay in bed for a while, she stayed motionless and just opened her eyes slowly.
But when she opened her eyes, she saw a person who wasn't supposed to be here.
The handsome face that suddenly appeared in front of her made her almost scream.
It was Eugene, he was back. After processing this thought in her mind for a while, she managed to see and process the surrounding scene clearly.
