Just who was it that wanted to frame me for Jameson’s death? What was that person’s motive?
However, Selena couldn’t go further along that train of thoughts, for she soon found herself immersed once again in the sorrow of losing Jameson.
Just then, the sound of footsteps could be heard, and she lifted her head to see the man, looking as mighty as he always did.
“Pierre…” she murmured softly.
Pierre had opened the door to the basement and brought her out of the room by holding her hand. Since there was a funeral going on in the front and many people were moving around, John had taken her out in the midst of the chaos.
Stopping in her tracks, Selena glanced straight in the direction of the living room. “I would like to take a look at him.”
Pierre was silent because he knew what she had in mind. As he gazed at this woman whose eyes were swollen from crying, he suddenly felt like he was looking at a stranger. Just how much more did he not know about her?Seeing that Pierre didn’t agree, Selena knew what his silence meant.
If she appeared there, a commotion would break out without a doubt, and when John saw her again, she could forget about leaving. Lowering her head, she then left with him.
After that, John sent her home, and he didn’t say or ask anything along the way. “I’m going back now,” he said and prepared to leave when they reached her place.
“Pierre!” she called out and stopped him. “Don’t you have anything to ask me? Why did something happen to Jamie? Jamie…” She couldn’t finish her sentence as she began to choke.
Turning around, Pierre stared into her reddened eyes and stretched out his hand to stroke her head. “You wouldn’t kill him.”
