Chapter 92: Stuck in the past (3)
The gathering ended well compared to how it started for Selene. Knowing Xavier was near and would be able to hear them stopped the women from questioning her.
Selene thought it wasn’t smart for them to speak when he wasn’t near and then be silent when he was here. When she returned home and Xavier asked about her day, she would have been honest about all that was said there and who said it.
Selene wasn’t going to lie to save any of these women.
The gathering wasn’t something Selene wanted to attend again but she enjoyed Francesca’s company. She knew Quinn, who was close to Francesca, was not fond of her but Selene did not mind.
As the other women left in their carriage, Francesca showed Selene her art pieces.
"I envy you for having something to do with your spare time," said Selene.
"We must find something to make this life wonderful since time moves slowly for us. I do not want to think of going to sleep when I am so young. I’m sure you will find something to do and if you don’t, doing your husband is a great replacement," Francesca said since it worked for her.
Selene could not believe how easily the suggestion rolled off of Francesca’s tongue.
"Oh, don’t look at me like that. It is impossible that you have not thought about it. I understand why you did not accept the queen’s invitation right after you got married. I would enjoy my time with a man like that over these women," said Francesca.
