Selena didn’t move away from the door, nor did she close it. Even Pierre felt cold when a cool breeze blew past them. “Are you scheming on something by standing there while wrapped in a towel?” If the corridor wasn’t empty due to the fact that it was that time of night, she would’ve already been exposed to public scrutiny.
It wasn’t until then that Selena regained her senses and closed the door. She hurried to fetch her clothes, but Pierre said, “Save the trouble. It’s not like I’ve never seen you in your birthday suit anyway.”
Yeah, why get hung up on the details when we’ve already seen each other naked? She silently agreed. Meanwhile, he went around the house in his wheelchair, making an especially close inspection on the bedrooms before deciding that nothing seemed out of place.
“What’s wrong with your leg?” Selena finally thought of asking.
However, Pierre thought it was too late for her to ask. “You’re only noticing it now.” Seeing that she didn’t know what to say to that, he squinted his eyes at her. “It’s because of a car crash.” The short reply was telling, yet at the same time simultaneously excluding all details.
While Selena sat down on the sofa, Pierre turned his wheelchair around to face her. She had her sights on him, but she wasn’t sure if she should be saying anything despite the fact that she had an overwhelming amount of things to say. “How’s the investigation going regarding Jamie’s case?”
No reply came forth from him. The investigation results that turned up weren’t the most favorable, for all leads pointed toward Selena. If it wasn’t for his full trust in her, he would’ve already butchered her, as they already had ample proof to incriminate her.
Selena knew the answer after not getting his reply. “I know all the clues you found suggest that I’m guilty.”
Pierre stared at her with a piercing gaze that captured every minute shift in her countenance.
“I’ve already guessed the outcome. This sure is a faux pas.” Selena let out a mirthless chuckle. “I’ll prove my own innocence, Pierre. I’ll also find your son and return him to you. I believe that he’s still alive.”
