Chapter 814 A Debt That Lasts Forever

Pierre jumped in shock, and so did Selena. Both of them were stunned as they gazed into each other’s eyes, and at that moment, they weren’t sure how they were supposed to react.

Selena was the first to look away. She spun on her heels and retreated back into the bedroom while Pierre trailed after her. He continued to follow her as she paced restlessly around the room and he did not relent even as she went into the bathroom, followed by the walk-in wardrobe.

He didn’t know what he should say to her. Even though he had mentally rehearsed the phrase ‘I’m home’ numerous times on his way back here, the words seemed to have escaped him the moment he saw her.

At the end of the day, silence lingered between them like a heavy, impenetrable cloak.

The family had dinner together that evening, but where the three children were ecstatic over Pierre’s surprise return, Jason was astounded. Nonetheless, he wore a calm front for the sake of the kids and said nothing about this twist of events.

Juniper was the most excited of the three and she clung onto Pierre wherever he went. She also insisted that he read her a bedtime story that night itself and it took quite a bit of cajoling on his part to finally get her to sleep.

At that moment, she mumbled groggily, “Daddy, you’re not going away again, are you?”

Upon hearing this, he leaned forward to place a gentle kiss on her forehead and his voice was assuring as he answered, “Sleep well, Juniper. I won’t leave you ever again.”

Her sleepy little face lit up with a smile, and she drifted off into dreamland.

Pierre had only just left her room when he was confronted by Jason at the doorway. “Let’s talk,” the latter said stoically.

They made their way over to the balcony. Pierre had kept tabs on the household during his absence and he knew that Jason had been helping Selena all this while.

“Thank—” His expression of gratitude was abruptly interrupted when Jason spun and punched him on the face.

Pierre staggered backward, completely caught off guard by the hard punch, and a coppery taste filled his mouth almost instantly.

“Do you know how hard things have been for her? Why would you lie to her like this?” Jason demanded, seething as he glowered at the other man. He was puzzled as to why Pierre had faked his own death and put Selena through the darkest time of her life.

In outrage, he added, “Do you know what she’s been through? She’s pregnant, but instead of taking care of herself, she’s been taking care of your company. She’s had to deal with all the shareholders who have given her a hard time while running the company for you. She was even caught up in a dangerous situation and almost lost the baby because of it! She was devastated when her best friend died, but you weren’t there for her. If you weren’t there for her when she needed you the most, then what the hell are you doing back here now? Have you forgotten how you swore to my grandfather that you would take care of Selena?”

Pierre reached up with his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his lips. He could still remember how he had been in Yucaria when Jerry called him into his study. He swore on his life there and in front of Jerry that he would never let Selena suffer even the slightest of hardship. However, as things were, it seemed like he had become the root of all her hardship.

After Jason’s angry outburst, Pierre was left momentarily speechless. “I’ll make it up to her,” he promised lamely after a pause, though he knew nothing he did could ever be enough to make it up to Selena.

“Make it up to her? And how are you planning to do that? Are you going to be able to make up for the hell she’s been through for the last couple of months?”

No, I can never make it up to her…

The thought felt heavy in Pierre’s head as he stood there in silence.

Jason heaved a sigh of resignation. He was aware of how much Selena loved Pierre, and he couldn’t very well ask them to divorce now that she was with child. It’s a good thing he came back.

“That’s all I’m going to say for tonight. Remember, Pierre, you owe her for all the things you put her through and it’ll take forever for you to pay that debt off!” With that, Jason turned on his heels and left.

Pierre, on the other hand, lingered on the balcony for a long time and he didn’t retreat to the bedroom until after he had smoked a cigarette.

However, as he turned the doorknob, he realized that Selena had locked him out of the bedroom.

She was making it clear that she had no intention of letting him in anytime soon.NôvelDrama.Org content.
