Chapter 206: Guests (1)
Selene gave all her attention to Josephine for the day. She was lucky Josephine didn’t drink and decided to get what she needed to move away from Nathaniel.
Selene made a point of Josephine only needing to collect what she had at home but Josephine spoke of starting fresh.
Hours later, the pair were on their way back to the estate. Josephine rested her head on Selene’s shoulder, getting some rest after a long day. She wasn’t energetic anymore and went back to her usual self.
Selene held Josephine so she wouldn’t fall. Her heart ached for Josephine. It was never a good feeling to step away from a marriage especially when there were still some feelings. It felt awful now but Selene knew Josephine would feel free in the end.
Lucas looked out the window instead of watching the pair. This was the first time he saw Josephine so relaxed with anyone. He would have liked to see what happened inside the shop to change Josephine’s plans to get drunk.
"Lucas, would you be willing to take some guards to collect what Josephine will need while she stays with us? I fear something bad might happen if Xavier goes and sees his father. Now isn’t the time for them to fight each other," said Selene.
"I can go but I will need a list of what she needs as well as Lady Josephine’s word that I can enter her home. Maybe a letter should be sent ahead that I am coming," Lucas suggested.
"Just leave them there," Josephine spoke, startling the two. "If anyone goes there beside me, it will anger Nathaniel and he will fight with Xavier. It truly isn’t the best time for them to fight with the tension among the Blackthorns. It is a house divided."
Josephine sat up, giving Selene some space. "I got what I needed and when I am ready to move from the estate into my own home, I will go get what I need from Nathaniel."
