Forbidden Love: Angel’s Seduction - Chapter 253

~ Chou Family Mansion ~

When Renz was done eating, he decided to take a shower, hoping that he would feel much better. He felt discomfort because of his hangover.

When he stepped into the shower, under the droplets of water, Renz recalled some flashbacks of what happened last night in his drunken state. He saw himself kissing someone and it felt so real.

‘Did I kiss someone last night?’ Renz thought to himself, touching his lips.

He vaguely remembered how he kissed Alexa. At first, Alexa was struggling against him but later on, she responded to his kiss, allowing him to enter her mouth.

Renz frowned as he remembered how aggressive he had become when he kissed her hungrily. He started pinning her on the bed, still kissing her while touching her and groping her soft body.

“Was that a dream? My imagination? Or something like that really happened?” Renz mumbled, feeling a little bit confused.

Renz shook his head as he tried to push away the thought at the back of his mind.

‘I was totally wasted and so drunk. I might be imagining things.’

Renz just finished taking his bath when the butler knocked on his door again. He put on his clothes and allowed him to come in.

“Young Master, Lady Selene sent this invitation,” Uncle Santi said, handing over the invitation card.

Renz accepted it and read the content inside. Tomorrow would be the Blackpearl Project launching and kick-off. Selene sent him an invitation including Grandpa Ivan and his parents.

Renz thanked Uncle Santi before he left his room. Renz was still having complicated feelings right now. He wanted to see Selene. He missed her even though she already loved someone else.

He was still in the process of accepting their break-up. But it was so hard for him to do it. He hoped that Selene would give him another chance to prove his love for her.

“I don’t want to give up on her…” he mumbled.

On that day, Renz had planned to visit Selene and talk to her again. He realized that between them, he was the one who did not put effort into expressing his feelings.

He wanted to try his best to show her how much he loved her. Fortunately, they hadn’t talked to his parents yet. He still had a chance to change Selene’s mind.

Little did he know, someone was secretly watching him right now. Alexa was observing him on the monitor through the spying camera she installed on his bedside table.

She could see that Renz looked sad. But there was a gleam of hope in his eyes. She somehow felt bad for Renz. She could tell that he was truly in love with Selene.

‘Sigh, unfortunately, Selene already loves someone else. Renz and Selene look good together. They were supposed to marry each other. How did they end up like this?’ Alexa pondered to herself.

She didn’t meet Eros yet so she couldn’t understand why Selene fell out of love with Renz.

“But Selene still cares about Renz. She even asked me to protect him. Will there be a second chance for those two?”

~ Anderson Family Mansion ~

In the evening, Selene and Eros went back home. Everything was all set for tomorrow. They already prepared the venue and sent the invitation to selected people.

They invited the board members and management team of the Lockhart Enterprise as well as some prominent people in the business world and in the City of Sierra.

It had been a busy day for Eros, Selene, and Samantha but they managed to accomplish all the tasks today.

It was already 8:00 pm when they arrived at home. Selene was surprised to see Renz, waiting for her on the balcony. He was holding a bouquet of flowers while smiling at Selene.

But his smile slowly disappeared upon seeing Eros who was following Selene behind. Eros was also surprised to see Renz tonight. Selene didn’t mention that Renz was coming. If he knew then he should have hid himself from him.

Renz had no idea that Eros was living in the Anderson Family Mansion. He would be hurt more once he learned the truth.

Renz only knew that Eros aka Gabriel stayed in the house because he was Grandma Elysa’s private nurse. However, since Grandma Elysa was gone, there was no reason for Eros to stay in the mansion.

“Good evening, Renz. I just dropped Selene off, I’m leaving now,” Eros said, greeting Renz before turning around to leave. He didn’t want Renz to know that he was living there together with Selene.

Selene wanted to stop Eros from leaving but seeing Renz’s sad expression, she couldn’t bring herself to call Eros in front of him.

When Eros left, Selene approached Renz, having complicated emotions. The atmosphere became awkward. She didn’t know what to say since she felt guilty for Renz.

Renz smiled at her faintly, masking his sadness. He gave her the bouquet. Selene looked at his hand that was holding the flower, contemplating whether to accept it or not.

In the end, Selene accepted it and asked him, “Thank you. Did you receive the invitation? Are you coming tomorrow?”

Selene wanted to lighten the mood by asking him a different thing. She didn’t expect that Renz would come to see her because she knew he was hurt and mad at her the last time they talked.

“Yes, I am attending to support you,” Renz said, smiling faintly at her.

“Selene… I’m sorry about last time. The way I acted… I shouldn’t get mad at you… since in the first place, I also have lots of shortcomings,” Renz also apologized to her.

“But Selene… I just realized that I can’t give you up easily. Can you still give me a chance, please? I want to win you back…” Renz told her truthfully while looking straight into her eyes.

Selene didn’t know what to say. Renz was lowering his pride right now, begging her for a second chance.

‘But… I don’t want to give him false hope…’
