Be Spoiled After Rebirth (Selena and Osvaldo)

Chapter 1645: Back in the Day

Selena walked into the building. The environment inside was tranquil, with classical and elegant Chinese architecture. A pond

extended outwards, with a green arch bridge overhead. Various orchids were planted all around.

As soon as Selena entered, a maid approached her excitedly and elegantly bowed, "Little princess, Madam has been waiting for

you for a long time."

Seeing the familiar place, Selena relaxed a bit. She took a deep breath and stepped onto the bridge before entering the small

building at its end.

The interior of the building was exquisitely decorated in an elegant style with cool tones throughout. A woman wearing a long blue

dress sat in front of an ancient musical instrument with her back to Selena. Her black hair flowed down like silk behind her back;

even from just seeing her back view one could sense elegance and beauty.

The sound of music filled the room.

Selena stared at that back for a moment, then stepped lightly forward and raised her arms to embrace the other from behind.

The woman's movements of stroking the piano froze in a flash, and after a few seconds of stagnation, she turned around and

wrapped Selena into her arms in a deadly embrace.

Selena buried in the woman's embrace, feeling the familiar scent, fondly rubbed, softly cried out, "... mum."

There was a steady stream of warm liquid falling on the slender shoulders, Selena was anxious, panicked and raised her head to

see the face that was pale in complexion, but covered the pouring face.

Even though Selena had been born beautiful enough, she still looked very young in front of the owner of this face.

Selena tenderly helped her mother wipe her tears, "Mum, don't cry ... it's alright ..."

Madam Samantha looked at her daughter, who seemed like a completely different person. Tears flowed endlessly from her

beautiful eyes as she spoke in a soft voice, almost choking on her words. "Selena..."

The maid beside them looked worried and said, "Your Highness, Madam's heart condition has worsened this year. She cannot have

any major emotional disturbances..."

Since Selena could remember, her mother had been suffering from a heart condition. She was always melancholic and rarely

allowed anyone to see her except for Selena.

Not even Selena's father was exempt from this rule.

But that didn't mean that Madam Samantha didn't love Selena.

Selena stood up straight and used a handkerchief to wipe away her mother's tears. With a sweet smile tinged with shyness, she

said, "Mom... | have someone | like."

Madam Samantha quickly composed herself and led Selena to sit in front of her. She carefully examined the innocent face of her

daughter before asking incredulously,"Someone you... like?"

Selena leaned against Madam Samantha's shoulder and began telling the story about Osvaldo.

The maids inside quietly left them alone in their own space while they talked for hours about how they first met until he proposed

to marry him which led them back to the empire...

As the light outside gradually dimmed until sunset arrived at last, Selena finally finished speaking.

Madam Samantha listened quietly as she watched the expression on Selena's face change when talking about Osvaldo - there was

an unmistakable joy mixed with shyness that reminded Madam Samantha of when little Selina had been brought back hwith

high fever but still insisted on telling Madam how much she loved her...

A young man had promised to confess his love to her, but she was too tired and needed to sleep for a while. She asked her mother

not to forget to wake her up if the young man was still waiting for her.

If her mother agreed and woke her up, she would forgive herself for accidentally losing contact with her brother. The young man

had promised that he would help find him.

Later on...

Madam Samantha's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't show it on her face. She gently touched Selena's face and said, "Selena is

all grown up now and can start dating."

Selena leaned against Madam Samantha's shoulder and asked with a smile, "Mom, is he good?"

Madam Samantha looked distant as she replied, "Yes, he loves you very much."

She knew that Selena was naturally slow when it cto matters of the heart. If a man could make it clear that he loved Selena

by doing things for her in particular ways then there must be something special about him.

Selena noticed that something was off with Madam Samantha's expression. She lifted up from the embrace and asked

curiously,"Mom are you not happy?"

Madam Samantha smiled warmly as she stroked Selena's hair,"No dear | am just surprised at how quickly tpasses by... before

we know it you are already grown-up enough to have boyfriends..."

Selena lay in Madam Samantha's arms with wide eyes full of joy," haven't told dad yet... if he finds out about Osvaldo..."

MadSamatha laughed softly as she poked Selana's nose playfully,"You brought your boyfriend hopenly so how could your

father not notice?"

It remained only a matter of tbefore Selana took action against Osvaldo who may not be able defend himself if push comes

shove according to what they both knew about him

Madam Samantha looked at Selena's hopeful eyes and chuckled, feeling a bittersweet sensation she couldn't quite describe. If it

weren't for the unexpected circumstances that led her to cross paths with men outside of her family, Selena would never have

been involved with them.

She gently embraced Selena and said, "Selena is still young. You shouldn't let your heart be swayed so easily..."

Strictly speaking, Selena had just turned nineteen and had only been legally an adult for a year. Madam Samantha remembered

how Selena died on the battlefield when she was only eighteen... Her face suddenly turned pale as she forcefully suppressed the

lump in her throat.

Selena was still in her mother's embrace and didn't notice anything unusual. She whispered softly, "But... Osvaldo's parents are

really nice to me..."

Madam Samantha laughed and said, "Sweetie, it's not that simple. If you marry him, it means you'll be with him forever and won't

be able to stay by your father or mother's side anymore."

There was a fundamental difference between marriage and dating.

Selena blinked her eyes but didn't say anything more as she snuggled into her mother's arms.

Madam Samantha looked at her daughter's withdrawn expression again before chuckling once more. She knew that Selena

understood the difference between dating someone casually versus marrying them seriously.

This little rascal was simply worried about Osvaldo being unable to handle their father if he bectoo violent towards them -

hence why they chere seeking refuge from Stanley who could help protect them from harm.

Madam Samantha tapped on Selena's forehead playfully before suddenly remembering Stanley again; the smile on her face froze

momentarily as she asked aloud: "Did Stanley calong with you?"

Selene murmured softly: "Mm-hmm...Stanley droppedoff but he should've left already."

MadSamantha fell silent for a moment while worry flashed across her eyes before saying gently: "Remember this well my dear

child - things are different now than they were before you left hlast year; there have been many changes in our empire."

"Remember, never fully trust anyone, even if they were once the closest person to you," she said.
