Fiona fumed at the thought of losing another 1.4 million bucks but the money was already gone. In the end, she had no choice but to relent and return home.
Joan was also relieved at the sight of her son returning home and returned to her own home.
"Let's go, my dear. We're drenched in the smell of alcohol. Why don’t we take a bath together?"
Desire sparked within Fane as he raked his eyes over Selena's body, silhouetted by the dim street lights.
Although he was a man true to his principles, he was still young and only over twenty years old. Besides that, Selena was also his woman. Naturally he would have quite a few fantasies after not touching a woman for five years.
"You-I do a bit of good for you and you take it and fly off to the moon!"
Selena rolled her eyes at Fane. "Besides, we weren't that close before and yet you want to touch me now. Dream on!" she said. "You're only able to call me your wife now because of Kylie.”
Cold sweat slicked over Fane's palms. He flashed a rueful smile. "I just suggested to take a bath together. I didn't say that I was going to touch you, my dear," he said. "Don’t let your mind wander too far. I'm a respectable man!"
If Abner, Lana, and the other Gods of War were to hear him say something like that, they would probably be s o shocked that their jaws would drop straight to the floor. Especially since it came from their respected master, who was a stone-cold killing machine on the battlefield, tearing through people as though they were paper.
Yet he was reduced into a grinning idiot who said ridiculous things before a beautiful woman.
"What the h*ll are you talking about? I didn't think about anything at all!"
Selena strode toward the inside of the house, face burning hot. "I'm going to shower first. You shower after I'm done. Don't even think about getting on my bed if I don't give you permission. Got it?"
"Roger that, my dear. Don’t worry. I'll obey your every command!"
Fane saluted her sharply, making her chuckle. Her smile was absolutely dazzling, even beneath the hazy street lighting.
"What a beautiful smile!"
