Chapter 287 A gift for mother-in-law Molly's face turned white.
Her husband asked to leave when he made out with his mistress.
Molly only felt an overwhelming sense of humiliation and resentment.
But as a woman, she had long since become accustomed to holding her tongue.
When she was young, Alberto wanted to abandon her, a pregnant woman, to marry Nevaeh, her mother's family advised her to hold her tongue, and she did.
Afterwards, by virtue of Leah, she became Mrs. Riddle, and over the years, Alberto's feelings for her had long since faded and he had found countless women outside, but for the sake of her daughter and the Riddle family's glory and fortune, she put up with it.
Now Leah is seriously injured and lying in the hospital, she doesn't know anything about the company and has no backers, what can she do if she doesn't put up with her? Divorce is not possible.
Molly did not have such courage, and she could not let go of the Riddle family's property, so in the end she just glared angrily at Klara and turned to walk out.
This time, Klara really felt a bit sorry for Molly.
This woman, probably, can only maintain of the majesty that belongs to a stepmother in front of the young Selena.
In front of Alberto, she had literally been humble.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSuch a cowardly woman would not dare to do anything even if she knew that she had "Alberto's child" in her belly.
But Leah will do the otherwise.
Klara shivered violently as she thought of those tactics of Leah.
She could fight Molly, but she couldn't fight Leah.
Before that, Selena was all screwed up by her.
Almost all of the tactics used against Selena were thought up by her, and they were more and more vicious each time.
If Leah knew that she had a child in her belly that could threaten her position, she would be in real danger.
But Selena promised to bail her out.
Klara thought of the two sisters of the Riddle family and hastily restrained her ambition, softly concentrating on comforting Alberto.
In the castle.
It was rare for Selena to come out during daylight hours, and Leia asked curiously, "Madam, what is that in your hand?" "A gift for your young master," Selena asked with a smile, "where is he? " It was almost time for lunch, and according to the habits of Osvaldo, he should have returned.
Leia turned and ran, "I'll go call young master and tell him to come back." Selena gave a smile and walked into the hall, placing the item in her hands on the table.
The butler came over and asked, "Madam, last time you said you had a ‘friend’ coming, do you need us to prepare something?" The butler did not know the inside story.
He only felt that Selena had had a hard time in the past, without a father or mother, and was bullied, in that situation, there was still someone who was willing to be her friend, then this friend, indeed, deserved a deep friendship.
They had to thank that friend on behalf of their young master.
Selena's gaze turned cold, the corners of her lips curled into a slight smile, "No need, Noah, | just to show her how well I'm doing now." With just that one sentence, the butler instantly heard a different meaning in it.
It might not hurt too much to be hurt by someone you don't have a relationship with.
But what is it like when the person who hurts you is the closest and most defenceless person? The butler's face, which had just been loving, was instantly devoid of the slightest enthusiasm and had more than a touch of anger.
How can such a nice and well-behaved girl meet a bunch of bastards? Selena picked up a glass of water and took a sip. And Osvaldo walked in through the door.
Selena looked at the man's beautiful face, a bright light swept through her eyes, she stood up and took the rare initiative to take Osvaldo's hand, leading him to the table with an expression like girl who wanted to be complimented, "Take a look, do you like it?" She thought to herself that Osvaldo was of noble birth and the highest class, and if he said something was good, it must be extremely good.
It was rare for Osvaldo to see his wife, who had always been calm and reserved, reveal an expectant expression, and the tenderness under his eyes almost overflowed.
He opened the box to reveal two bright green and clear porcelain vases.
Under Selena's glowing eyes, Osvaldo opened the cork of one of the bottles, and a faint fragrance instantly appeared in the air.
A very special flavour.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmItis like the last remnants of fragrance left in the air by the incense flakes on a snowy day, cold and inexplicably strong.
Osvaldo took a sniff, "Camellia?" Selena was surprised.
The smell of camellia was no longer present in this room, so how did Osvaldo detect it? Osvaldo put the lid back on and looked at Selena's wide eyes, almost unable to resist the swell of his heart and mind, wanting to lower his head and kiss her.
"For me?" Selena gave a smile, "Yes, it's the first perfume I've ever made," thoughtfully, and then overbearingly, she added, "It may not be perfect, but you must keep it." She had never made a gift or anything for others with her own hands.
Osvaldo almost did not hold back, gave her a kiss. He moved slightly close to her, whispered inquiring, "Then do you mind if | give it to someone else?" Selena's eyes widened slightly, was this a sign that he resented it? Osvaldo once again leaned closer, his thin lips almost touching her forehead, his low voice carried more than a hint of tenderness, "My mother likes perfume very much, she will be very happy if she gets a gift made by your own hands." There may even be a surprise.
As a daughter, Selena naturally knew how precious a gift to her mother was.
There was no doubt that Osvaldo was very fond of this gift of hers.
"Will this be good?" She was pleased, but hesitant, "After all, it's still in trial.” If Osvaldo's mother was truly fond of perfume, it would be difficult to ensure that she would look at it.
The thin lips of Osvaldo had a slight curl, pressed to her ear, his voice was soft, "She will like it, after all, it is a gift from her daughter-in-law." Selena flushed, and subconsciously wanted to refuse it. After all, she could not be considered a daughter-in-law in the true sense, but the next words of Osvaldo relaxed her.
"My mother was more than fond of perfume, she was good at making perfume.” Selena's eyes lit up.
She understood the intention of Osvaldo.
No matter how talented she is, she is still halfway there and is certainly a long way to go from international competition.
She remembered those recipes of Nevaeh, but they were occupied by Leah and she had no proof, let alone knowing which recipe Leah would use for the competition when the time came.
It wouldn't do her any good in case of the used the same one recipe.
