“I mean, I’m going to apply to the organization and step down as soon as I put an end to this matter.”
Selena looked at Pierre in surprise. He is in his prime, so how could he just step down and abandon his position like that? “Pierre, I’m actually not…”
Knowing Pierre as a responsible man, Selena was aware that her husband initially had no intention of getting married until she entered his life and disrupted his plan. Thus, she didn’t want him to give up on his responsibility and persistence.
“I know what you’re trying to say, but everyone who works in this line of work usually stays until their early thirties, which is a safety concern from the organization. Therefore, this is a rule from our organization, and it has nothing to do with you. So please don’t beat yourself up.” Pierre’s words somehow eased Selena’s mind a little.
“When I step down, I’ll have more time to spend with you and the kids. After all, I owe you all way more than it seems,” Pierre added while gently rubbing Selena’s back.
Selena looked up and met Pierre’s gaze as the man’s eyes somehow looked like they were filled with confusion and bewilderment. His sorrowful expression seems to be telling me something. He’s never looked this down before. Although both of them parted with a heavy heart like they usually did when Pierre had to leave every time, Selena couldn’t help but have a strange feeling about his departure this time.
“Promise me, Selena. No matter what happens, you must stay at home and… wait for my return.” Pierre paused his speech mid-sentence and especially emphasized the last few words.
Selena nodded. “Alright, I will. The children and I will be waiting for you to return with a remarkable triumph.”
Pierre reacted with a smile, but his eyes seemed to be filled with emotions that no one could fathom. “Remember what you just promised me. Wait for my return. I’ll be back.”
Selena wrapped her arms around Pierre’s neck and said, “I trust you that you will return safely, so you’d better not let me down, or I’m going to make you regret it!”
“Sure, that’s a deal!” Pierre then planted a kiss on Selena’s lips.
