Chapter 61: Trouble (3)
"Harold might be a little sad to have to send away some of his flowers but he’ll get over it. Now, back to this Oliver fellow who disturbed your peace. Do you mind if I trouble him a bit? I won’t kill him," Xavier promised, but the promise might not stay long.
"No," Selene shook her head. "Not while Fiona is there with him. His anger will just be directed to her but thank you for the offer. If I could get her away from there then you could trouble him."
Selene continued, "I know marriage has its ups and downs you need to work out but being on the receiving end of someone’s anger because there isn’t money isn’t something anyone should put up with. It isn’t her fault there isn’t money."
"He might be one of those men who gets upset that he doesn’t have the money people around him think he should have. His wife will make an easy target for him. A man who would put his wife through that is a coward. Do not go near him," said Xavier.
"I don’t plan to ever meet him again. It might be good to mention that he has become close to Gabriel. Part of me wants to tell you to get rid of him now but the other part thinks of Fiona being upset with me. I do not want to be a terrible friend. I need a distraction," Selene stood up.
Selene was tired of thinking about Oliver. There were better things to think about like her plans for revenge and getting back her family home.
"I am going to continue my walk. While we were away, someone was quick to add changes to the garden. Was it your order?" Selene questioned, a little taken aback by how much Xavier was doing for her. "Are you honest there isn’t something you secretly want from me?"
"What if it is your heart?"
"I will write down that you can have it when I am dead," Selene responded to his joke.
