Chapter 203: Sticking together (2)
"Is there something wrong, Selene? You’ve been sneaking glances at me from the moment we got inside the carriage. Do you agree with my son that you should have stayed inside the estate all day?" Josephine asked.
"I trust his judgement. The town hasn’t been safe for some time now, so we must be careful," Selene replied.
"Then why did you agree to come with me? I would have been fine if you had said no and we had remained on the estate. It is not too late for us to turn back," Josephine said, willing to return.
"I am keeping in mind that it is not safe but I am thinking of why you wanted to go for a ride around the town. We haven’t seen much of each other so maybe it is that you want to get to know me or you want a break from other things," Selene said, seeing through Josephine’s smile.
Josephine was impressed by Selene. "You notice the little things. I need a little distraction from all the drama the Blackthorns have now. All the drama my husband is starting and I do need to get to know you again. I think you’ve changed."
Selene nodded her head. "I think a lot about me has changed since I lost my parents but I am not too different from how you remembered me. Thank you for taking the time to get to know me."
"I have to know the woman with my son. I can see it each time I visit that he’s changing little by little. He’s still rude as ever but now he has a reason to enjoy his days. I have heard about what Vivienne did. About the women not inviting you out," said Josephine.
"I expected that much from her. Everyone has their opinions about our marriage and their plans to stop it. Luckily, I never thought I would be invited anywhere just because I am now Selene Blackthorn. There is a lot that follows me," Selene said, hardly surprised.
"Also," Selene continued to speak."The queen did me a favour."
