Chapter 112: Touch (1)
"It is not a good look for you to turn to stalking. I am faltered but others might be terrified by this," Selene said, listening closely to Xavier’s light steps behind her. "Don’t you have work to do now?"
"Not after what you just said and you know it. How cruel to say that and then run away from me. Luckily, you won’t get far. Don’t you know that I am quite quick on my feet?" Xavier asked.
"So am I," Selene replied, walking at a pace to keep some space between them.
Selene knew what she started and would get some fun out of it while she could.
Xavier took the chase as a game. Unless Selene intended to leave the estate soon, she would quickly find herself trapped in his arms. He had the time to play with her like this. Did she have that time?
Agnes smiled when she spotted Selene but did not approach after noticing Xavier. The two were odd when they acted like this so Agnes didn’t want to get in the way.
Selene frowned when she found herself facing a wall. Since when was there a wall here with no path to get away from her husband?
"So, it is true that you get lost in the estate sometimes. Should I knock down some of the walls and expand so you can keep running away from me? I am enjoying the chase," Xavier said, awaiting her next move.
"Why would you waste money on that? The estate is already big," Selene muttered.
There needed to be a map for her to hold in her hands when walking around. This was exactly why she went on so many strolls to get familiar with the estate.
It pained Selene to have to turn around to face Xavier.
