Chapter 2353 Thank You
Selena lay there and did not feel much pain anymore.
Maybe she was already used to it.She looked like a normal person if no one touched her.Her phone rang.
Selena thought it was her staff from the bar.
When she picked her phone up and looked at it, she saw a familiar number.
“Come home tonight.”
It was an order from her grandfather.
Memories of the past flooded her mind.
Selena could not avoid it.It had been three years since Selena left.She did not go back home after she returned because she hated her grandfather.She desperately wanted to express her displeasure in her own way.
However, the Nelson family did not care.It was as if everything she did was a joke.
Selena was just making a fuss, but she was still within their control.
As long as she did not get a divorce, she would not be able to escape from her grandfather’s grasp no matter how much she struggled.She closed her eyes, and tears streamed down uncontrollably.
Selena lay on the bed, pulled up the quilt, and covered her head.She cried silently.
Selena never understood what she did wrong to make the grandfather, who loved her so much, so determined to marry her off to an abusive man.
He ruined her life.She suppressed her sobs, but she still woke the person next to her.
However, she was not aware.
It was not until she was tired from crying and she lifted the quilt that she suddenly met a pair of dark and deep eyes.She trembled from shock.
The man frowned indifferently.
He looked at her eyes which were red from crying.
His eyes were dark, and Selena did not know what he was thinking.
After a while, he narrowed his eyes and spoke in a low and hoarse voice.
“If you want him to go to jail, I can help you.”
Being sick made Eric feel charitable.
This kind of effort was nothing to him.
However, he was never one to meddle in other people’s business.
Why? Perhaps it was because seeing that pitiful face that was somewhat similar to Nicole’s made him think of the woman he had failed in the past.
Eric felt guilty and wanted to make amends.
Unfortunately, Nicole no longer needed him to.
However, Eric could still make it up to someone else.
This would make him feel better, right? When Selena heard what he said, her eyes lit up for a moment, but they dimmed again. Her voice was low and hoarse, and her tone was soft and weak.
“Thanks, but it’s okay.I can solve it myself.”
If Derek went to jail, it would affect the Nelson family.
If the Nelson family was implicated, her grandfather might die from anger, and she would still be in the same dilemma.
Selena had thought about all these, but her grandfather’s life always got between her plans.She respected and feared him at the same time.
“Thank you.”
Selena added.
Eric raised his eyelids, and the corners of his lips curved indifferently.
He did not continue talking.His face was so indifferent, and he looked like he had no interest in persuading her.
Since she refused, he would not bother to reach out.He only had some sympathy for her, but it was not worth much.
Three hours later, Mitchell came to pick Eric up and discharged him from the hospital.
Mitchell greeted Selena politely before he left.
Eric gave him a cold look.
His stomach no longer hurts, and he began to scold Mitchell again.
“You’re so familiar with her?”
“No, I only got acquainted with her because I asked her to take care of you.”
“Take care of me?”
Eric snorted coldly.His side profile was expressionless, and his jaw was sharp.He spoke slowly, “She’s bedridden and can’t even move.Do you expect her to take care of me mentally?”
Mitchell was speechless.
After he got into the car, Mitchell sighed and said, “She’s so pitiful.When I was outside just now, I heard her abusive husband asking around for her ward.”
Eric massaged his forehead and remembered that she refused his help earlier, so he sneered.
“She asked for it.”
Selena was pitiful for falling into such a hellhole, but she was also ridiculous for not wanting to climb out after falling in.
The corners of Mitchell’s lips twitched as he felt that Eric was really cold-blooded.
Mitchell did not dare to mention Nicole’s visit in the afternoon so as not to sprinkle salt on his wound.
The next day at the Stanton Mansion.
The golden sunshine spread across the lawn.
Floyd got up early in the morning to watch the children tidy up and go to school.
Chatty had been living in the Stanton Mansion for several days.She had fewer opportunities to play, and she had to attend extra classes with Levi at night, which was simply torture.
Chatty was sitting on a chair, swinging her short legs, as she looked at her third uncle leisurely and expectantly.
“When is Mommy coming to pick us up?”
Kai tore a piece of bread for himself, stuffed it in his mouth, and looked at her with a smile.
“Your daddy and mommy want some alone time.You two will just disturb their date when you guys go back.” Fischer ate a mouthful of oatmeal, then he quietly leaned over.
“Since they’re dating, we can date too! Let’s catch some fish later!”
Kai clicked his tongue and looked at the two little things with a warning gaze.
“The little fish in the backyard pond went missing.Was it because you two keep catching them? No wonder Dad keeps losing his temper because he didn’t catch enough fish recently.You guys are not allowed to catch any more fish!”
Fischer curled his lips and lowered his head to eat his oatmeal.
Chatty looked at Kai with watery eyes.
“Uncle K, Daddy and Mommy can still go on dates when we go back I really miss Daddy and Mommy…”
Kai grinned and pinched Chatty’s little face.
“They’re busy trying to conceive a younger sibling for you.Haven’t you always wanted an Ultraman sister?”
Chatty’s eyes lit up.She became happy instantly, and sparks were flying in the air.
“Great! I won’t go back then.They should do that as soon as possible! Can they give me a younger sibling tomorrow?”
“Uh…”
Kai was stunned and did not know what to say for a while.
Floyd walked over from behind him and slapped his head hard.
“Don’t be a bad influence on the kids!”
Kai patted his head and lowered his head to eat his oatmeal.
Floyd handed over a brand-new school bag with a big bow and said, “Chatty, isn’t this new schoolbag that I bought for you pretty?”
Chatty stared at the new schoolbag without saying a word.She pouted her little mouth and had “not impressed” written all over her face.
Fischer grinned and said, “It’s pretty! I like it!”
Floyd looked at the uninterested Chatty and sighed in disappointment before he handed it to Fischer.
“Here you go.”
After Kai finished eating, he sent the kids to school.
Levi had already left earlier with the driver.
Only these two children dilly-dallied to get into the car.
Half a month passed.
Clayton had a business appointment at The Good Vibes Bar.
Before he went, he took Nicole with him.
Nicole had planned to go to the beauty parlor, but she thought that going to the bar was also a good option.
Clayton was talking to his business partner, and Nicole was not interested in listening, so she watched the singer downstairs from the steps of the second floor.
The singer was Selena.
Selena had been discharged from the hospital and was doing well.
Her voice was low and husky.thuy It was electrifying and sexy.Even such a slow song sounded so unique coming from her.No wonder her bar was always full.
