Chapter 388


    “What?” Selena no longer had Pierre’s number, and he had blocked her, effectively stopping her


    from reaching him. “I’ll call him after I’m done with the paperwork.” Selena shifted their attention and


    left. I hope they’ll forget about it when I’m done with the paperwork, but I’ll have to tell them sooner


    orter.


    “Told you Mommy’s lying. I knew it. They got into a big fight and broke up.” Juniper saw through her


    mother’s lies easily. Jameson was still munching on his sandwich, while Joaquin looked pensive.


    “Don’t just stand there. You guys are their kids, too.” Juniper was annoyed at her brothers’


    nonchnce. “And you call yourself my brother, but I’m the only one trying to save the situation


    here. Right, I’m angry now, and you can’t calm me down.”


    “Oh, calm down. Wanna have some sandwiches?” Jameson handed his half-eaten sandwich to her.


    “Is eating all you know?” Juniper smacked Joaquin’s back. “And you haven’t said a thing! Mommy’s


    right! Men are all pigs!”


    Selena spent quite a while on the paperwork, and when she came back, she saw John sitting


    before Juniper’s bed. Their grandpa’s here. She thought she was hearing things, but no. John was


    laughing with the kids, apparently amused about something.


    “Mommy!” Juniper called her loudly.


    John slowly turned around, and the look on his face was just like Pierre’s. Yep. They’re father and


    son alright. And Joaquin is Pierre’s son.


    “You’re back.”


    She nodded. “I’m done with the paperwork. W-What brings you here?” Selena was scared of John.


    John went toward the door. “Come with me.” And he went outside.


    Selena quickly followed him, and she noticed that he was getting hunched. He’s getting old. Yeah,


    he really is.

    John sighed before asking, “When’s the marriage?”


    Selena was surprised that he’d ask that. Pierre probably didn’t tell them about our breakup. John


    probably doesn’t know about his double life either. Shoot, his whole family probably doesn’t know


    about it. She cursed him silently. I’m fine with exining this to the kids, but to his old man? Damn


    it! “We, um, we’re still thinking about it.” Selena pretended she knew nothing.


    “The kids are growing up fast. It’s time for you and him to get married. Get this over with as soon as


    possible,” John ordered. Well, he could have been making a request, but everything he said


    sounded like an order.


    Then he left, and she noticed a box at the windowsill beside him. She went to take it and noticed the


    emerald jewelry within it. Selena didn’t know much about jewelry, but she had seen a lot in high


    society. It was the first time she had seen such beautiful emeralds, and they seemed old, as if they


    had existed for many years. Even their gleam had an ancient air to it.
