Chapter 316

Chapter 316 She Will Marry Him if She Ran Out of Options

Selena fell into silence, as she already knew what Pierre’s reply was. They were not meant to be after all. “I get what you mean. However, I still won’t come with you. I have yet to find Juniper’s biological father, so Hades’ bone marrow is the best possible match that I can find for the time being. If I leave, he won’t donate his bone marrow to Juniper.”

Upon hearing that, Pierre pulled her closer to him abruptly. He ended up holding her so tight that she was suffocating. “What are you planning to do? Will you marry him?” He sounded a little savage.

Seeing his reaction only amused her. If he didn’t know Hades fancied me, he might not have risked his life to come fetch me. What an extremely jealous person. “Yeah, I’ll have no choice but to marry him if worse comes to worst. Since he already proposed to me, I’ll marry him after my injuries heal.”

“How dare you!” With one hand around her neck, he threatened, “I’ll strangle you to death right here, right now if you dare!”

“Do it, then!”

While staring at her, Pierre realized she wouldn’t yield. Despite the mutual understanding that she was most probably joking, there was no guarantee that she wouldn’t marry Hades for Juniper’s sake.

“You’re threatening me!” Pierre quickly realized unhappily.

“That’s only true if you actively subject yourself to my terms.”

Looking at her cheeky expression, he said, “Give me more time.” He needed time to weigh his options.

“Okay.”

Pierre still had his concerns. He knew he couldn’t take Selena away with him, so he could only leave her in the lion’s den for the time being. That night, he slept in her room while holding her in his arms. As a result, both of them managed to get a good night’s sleep.

When Pierre woke up the next morning, Selena was still asleep. Her exhaustion might be due to the fact that she was still healing from her injuries. He spent some time loitering around before going downstairs, only to see Hades having breakfast in the dining room. “I apologize for waking up late. I had a tiring night.” As if he were the owner of the place, Pierre sat down by the dining table with such openness.

However, Hades merely let out a mirthless chuckle. “Judging from that, you don’t seem to have much stamina.”

“While it might be true, it’s still way better than a certain someone who has no way to channel his boundless stamina.”

Upon hearing that, Hades sulked, while Pierre wore a self-conceited look after getting the upper hand in their skirmish. After that, when Pierre reached out to get himself a serving of fried eggs, Hades slapped it away from him. “We don’t have your ration.”

Unperturbed, Pierre shrugged. “I never knew you’re so petty. But I suppose it’s not a big deal since you do need to eat more to build up your stamina.” © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Hades’ expression soured when he stared at the fried egg, while Ken and Barbie exchanged glances with each other when they overheard the skirmish from where they were outside the dining room. Hades has met his nemesis this time! They used to assume that Hades and Satan were terrifying enough, but from the looks of it, Pierre posed more of a threat than both of them.

“I’ll be taking my leave.” Pierre stood up from his seat to leave, but stopped in his tracks when he reached the entrance. “Thank you for taking care of my son.”

When Hades heard that, his hand shuddered. So he already knew about it! Meanwhile, Ken and Barbie were baffled. They wondered if Pierre was omniscient.

After leaving the castle, Pierre was planning to go back on a private jet. Just when everything was ready and he was set to go, he changed his mind right before he boarded the jet in order to drop by at the hospital. When he got there, there was nobody in the ward except for Juniper, who was fast asleep.
