Chapter 260: Choice

As a woman, Selene could tell that Rhea's affection for Aurelius was clear, and maybe so she couldn't help but notice the aching feeling in her heart for 'pitiful' Adrian.

He had been so determined to find Rhea, but now it seemed she had feelings for another man. She looked at Adrian in pity, her pity increasing as she watched him.

Adrian, having recovered from his initial surprise, turned his head slightly to watch the interaction between Rhea and Aurelius. His expression remained neutral, but Selene could sense the turmoil beneath his calm facade. He must have realized the depth of Rhea's feelings for Aurelius as well.

Then, suddenly Adrian turned his head, looking in her direction, his gaze stopping at her as their eyes met.

'Oh, no!'

Selene quickly looked down but she was sure Adrian saw her. 'Should I act now?'

She stealthily looked upward and saw Adrian slightly smiling at her, almost mysterious and unsettling.
