Chapter 424


    Pierre shoved Selena aside angrily. "F*ck off! I tald you I''m fine. Everything''s fine!”


    She then realized how his cheeks had turned pink. I can’t believe this guy is actually capable of feeling embarrassed! “Is it that hard to admit it when


    you feel nervous or afraid?” she uttered with a pout.


    He realized what she was doing then. This woman is doing this on purpose! All of a sudden, she wrapped her arms around his neck as she


    whispered, “What are you so afraid of? Are you afraid that I won''t get married to you?” Selena could sense how tense and anxious Pierre felt the


    whole afternoon after Joaquin told her to bring him for a body checkup, and she knew that Pierre was just trying to conceal his worries. “You’ve done


    so much for me, Pierre. You know that I would never leave you alone, right?” Tears welled up in her eyes as she spoke. Her heart ached whenever


    she thought about what the inspectors had said to her earlier. Pierre''s identity wouldn''t have been exposed if it weren''t for my ignorance.


    “Alright. Why are you getting all cheesy with me?” he grumbled.


    “Did you expose your identity because of me?” she asked


    He immediately brushed his thumb against her cheeks when he saw the tears on her face. “You need to stop overthinking,” he said. He actually had a


    good idea of what the inspectors told Selena during their session. Even before they met up with her, he already knew that Selena would eventually


    find out about how she was rted to his leaked identity. It was true that he did it for her, but he didn''t want her to be burdened by such knowledge.


    “It''s only a matter of time before my identity gets exposed. They would have managed te find out about me even if it weren''t for you,” he continued


    ‘But—”


    “No buts.” He interrupted her words. “Don’t overthink it. It''s fine: there are some benefits to having my identity exposed anyway. We''ll be able to


    capture all of those people the moment theye out of hiding.”


    Selena knew that Pierre was merely trying tofort her, so she pressed her head against his chest as she said in a gentle voice, “I promise I won''t


    drag you down, Pierre. I promise I''ll never leave you.” She sounded like she was making a solemn cath. "Please don’t leave me behind either, okay?"


    He kissed her on the lips. “Aren''t you afraid of being in amitted rtionship with me?”


    ‘I''m not afraid as long as you''re around,” she replied instantly.


    “What if I''m not-around?” There


    would be tinstes in the future when


    he wouldnt be able to be by her side,


    and she \ would have to dea with ati


    her troubles on her own then. He


    knewchow strong Selena was) ‘but


    she was still a woman in the end.


    At that, she held onto his hand and held it over her heart. “You''ll always be around because you''ll always be right here in my heart.”


    His eyebrows shot up all of a sudden. “What a great speech! I wish I could actually get inside you right now!Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

    The test report was released two days after that. On that day, there was a crucial shareholders meeting for Empire Group, so Selena went to collect


    her report on her own.


    The doctor called for her to enter his office once she arrived at the hospital. “My body checkup report looks okay, right, doctor?”
