Chapter 1670: Arch-Nemesis
Gaia seemed to sense her owner's sadness and removed his mask, leaning in to give Selena a kiss.
Selena smiled and ruffled his hair, preparing to leave when she suddenly froze in place.
A tall figure stood directly in front of her, hands in pockets and face slightly tilted up as he looked at the
entrance of the palace. Despite the distance between them, Selena couldn't see his eyes clearly but
looking at that familiar figure made her feel an indescribable feeling. All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
She felt like this man didn't belong here or maybe it was this grandiose the palace that couldn't hold
him down. In the midst of her confusion, the man suddenly turned his head towards her direction.
In that moment, all the discomfort she felt from him disappeared like a tide and he once again became
that gentle and handsome man she knew. He walked towards her with purpose.
Selena snapped out of it just as he reached her side and happily threw herself into Osvaldo's arms. He
caught her easily before checking for any injuries before leading Selena back to their car without any
hindrance from anyone else within the palace.
They arrived back at their estate on the outskirts of town where Selena let Gaia play on his own while
Osvaldo took Selena into their study room where they sat together with him behind his desk while she
sat on his lap.
"What happened today at the palace?" Osvaldo asked curiously after settling down with Selena
comfortably seated on top of him.
Selene hesitated for a moment before deciding to tell him everything that had happened inside the
palace earlier today under encouragement from Osvaldo's gaze.
Osvaldo lowered his long eyelashes, hiding the expression in his eyes as he tightened his grip on
Selena's hand.
Sensing that something was bothering him, Selena spoke up to comfort him. "I'm okay," she said.
Without saying a word, Osvaldo pulled her into an embrace and held her close to his chest while gently
stroking her back.
Selena snuggled against him and felt a twinge of sadness. She hadn't felt anything before, but now that
he was holding her like this, she couldn't help but feel a little hurt.
She closed her eyes and whispered softly. "Osvaldo, someday I'll take you back home with me and
introduce you to my parents."
Looking at the delicate features of her face, Osvaldo leaned down and kissed it lightly. "It's okay," he
said. "Go to sleep."
Selena's eyelashes trembled for a moment before she fell asleep in his arms.
Once he was sure she was sound asleep, Osvaldo carried Selena back to bed before silently making
his way downstairs to the living room where Spencer sat on the sofa waiting for him.
Spencer raised an eyebrow at the coldness in Osvaldo's eyes when they met. But then again it wasn't
surprising considering how much pressure he must be under as Queen of Riddle Group Empire while
also being Osvaldo's beloved partner.
After all who could stop someone like Selena from going anywhere?
Spencer offered some advice sincerely: "Why don't you go talk to that monarch? Ask him what exactly
is going through their mind? If they don't want their daughter anymore then isn't it better if everything
goes your way?"
Osvaldo sat down on the couch next to Spencer with an icy tone in response: "The old folks over at
Riddle Group Empire have too many secrets buried deep inside them... It might hurt Selena."
Although Selena had gone through hardships already but nothing compared with true unbearable pain
or darkness yet.
Selena wanted to avenge the souls of those who died protecting her.
Osvaldo only wanted to help her get revenge.
That was all he cared about.
He didn't want to dig any deeper, and he certainly didn't want Selena to either.
Spencer looked at Osvaldo with interest. "I just received some news. The Empress Mother secretly left
the palace. Where do you think she went?"
A glint appeared in Osvaldo's eyes.
"I'll have people watching the capital city. If there's any news, I'll let you know," Spencer said with a
smile.
After a few seconds of silence, Osvaldo asked, "Have you heard anything about Aarav?"
"Jinyu has searched everywhere she could think of but couldn't find any information on him," Spencer
shook his head.
"He seems like... he disappeared into thin air before and after meeting you."
"No one except for you has ever seen him," Spencer continued as he glanced upstairs. "Not even your
wife Gaia could find him when she tried."
Osvaldo tapped his long fingers lightly on the table surface.
He hadn't really cared much about Aarav before, but after hearing that he wasn't doing well since
leaving him years ago, it made him uneasy.
He regretted more than once that he shouldn't have given the little ball in his arms back to the Riddle
Group Empire. But back then, he was too weak and couldn't compete with such a large empire.
Now it's different.
Back then, they could take Aarav from him. But now, if he doesn't want them to take Selena away from
him, they won't be able to do so.
Selena and Aarav...
What is their relationship?
Spencer waited for a moment but didn't get a response. He brought up another topic: "The governor of
the Riddle Group Empire is not simple either. And that young master of the Soo family seems to have
his own thoughts as well. Besides you, Mr. Anderson, she is really the only one who can command
respect from Empress."
"Mr. Anderson, have you thought about how you will confess? Are you going to be her archenemy after
all these years?" Osvaldo gave Spencer a cold glance.
This is also troublesome.
Selena is a girl with an extremely strong sense of justice and she's also the Empress of the empire. As
someone who has been causing trouble for her all these years on her territory as her archenemy,
Osvaldo cannot guarantee what kind of attitude Selena will have towards him.
He can be sure that his girl will never be so shallow as to demand justice within such narrow confines -
arresting him and putting him on trial based solely on principles of righteousness.
The higher one stands in society; The more they understand that everything in this world has two sides
- good or bad.
There are things he won't do but others would.
In this world there's no absolute separation between right and wrong or lightness and darkness
