章 211: 30 The Moonstone

Chapter 30

Selena’s POV

Four people, two couples.

We walked along the garden path in silence. After the farce just now, it seemed a little awkward to say anything at that moment.

"Your face... how is it?" Charles asked me in a lowered voice as we walked behind Stella and Ryan.

I touched my face.

"Be gentle," Charles whispered.

As soon as my fingers touched the slapped skin, I felt a burning pain in my face.

"It still hurts a little..."

Charles pinched my chin and studied my face from side to side. "It's a little swollen, but not too bad," he said, "When we get back to the house, I'll get some ice so you'll feel better."

Back at the house, Charles went into the kitchen alone. I took Stella and Ryan back to their room, which was Stella's bedroom before she got married.

"Thank you so much for tonight, Selena, and of course, Charles..." my sister hugged me hard at the door.
