Chapter 178


    “Since you already have two sons with Meredith, you can only marry her! You’re not allowed to


    marry anyone else!” John acted as though this was a decree.


    Such an attitude naturally had Pierre feeling very much disgruntled.


    “You can fool around if you want to, but you must get married! Even if you don’t like Meredith, you


    must marry her for Jojo and Jamie’s sake!”


    After a long moment of silence, Pierre finally lifted his head. “So, you were just fooling around with


    my mother as well?”


    John spaced out as he stared at him. If I remember correctly, thest time we brought up his mother


    was during the year when he was 17 years old. In the blink of an eye, more than a decade has


    passed. Now that we’re mentioning this woman again, it feels like a lifetime away.


    Abruptly shooting to his feet, he swung his hand at Pierre’s face. Time seemed toe to an abrupt


    halt after the p. “Is this how you talk to your father, you unfilial son?” The force of the p had


    Pierre’s face snapping to the side, but his face remained devoid of emotion.


    Livid, John panted heavily as they confronted each other. After what seemed like an eternity had


    passed, he dered, “Your marriage with Meredith can be pushed back for the time being, and I


    won’t interfere in your affairs with Selena Yard. However, you’re going to get married when you’re


    done with your nonsense!” This was already the biggest concession from him.


    A half-smile tugged at the corners of Pierre’s mouth. Then, he got to his feet and strode out.


    Clutching his chest, John slowly sat back down. As he stared at his son’s disappearing figure, he


    knew that not everything could be obliterated with time.


    After working for the entire day, Selena went home wearily. The moment she stepped in the door,


    she was stunned silly by the sight that greeted her; Juniper was lying in Pierre’s embrace, the two of


    them watching cartoons happily, chatting from time to time. I’ve just been wondering how to exin


    the matter about me dating him to Juniper, but he has actually won my daughter over as well! Even


    such a young girl has no defenses against him. What a witch! This was the only term left in her


    mind.


    “You’re home, Mommy?” To her surprise, Juniper didn’t run over to hug her, nestlingnguidly in


    Pierre’s arms instead.


    Meanwhile, Pierre gazed at Selena with squinted eyes, his smug expression striking much chagrin


    within her. “I’m hungry,” he murmured lightly.


    “I’ll go and cook!” Shooting him a look, Selena rolled up her sleeves and strode to the kitchen.


    Seemingly having noticed her fatigue, Pierre released Juniper and went to the kitchen, hugging her


    gently around the waist.

    “Juniper is outside!” Selena hastily pried his hands away.


    “She has agreed to us dating.”


    Upon hearing that, Selena nced over at the living room a near distance away, only to see the


    little girl stifling herughter with a hand over her mouth. When she noticed that they were looking at


    her, she hastily turned away and pretended as though she was watching television.


    “How did you get her stamp of approval?”


    “Do you want to know?”


    Selena rolled her eyes. Knowing what he wanted to say next, she shrugged. “Nope!”


    “Don’t cook if you’re tired. What about going out for dinner?”


    Selena nodded. “Sure, that’s fine.”


    Hence, Pierre took her and Juniper out for a feast. When they left the restaurant, Juniper had a


    hand in Pierre’s and another in Selena’s. “How I wish Jamie and Jojo were here! Then, our family


    will beplete!” She giggled exuberantly.


    As Selena looked at her joyous expression, she smiled as well. It has been a long time since I’ve


    seen her this happy.


    When they’d put Juniper to bed at night, Pierre and Selena were the only ones left in the living


    room.
