Chapter 1678: Where did you buy this bouquet of flowers?
Lauren didn't hear her son's denial and said softly, "Sweetheart, if you ever dare to cheat on your
partner, then I won't have a son anymore. Only a daughter-in-law!"
Osvaldo responded with a headache as he rubbed his forehead. "It's not what you think. I just have
some questions."
Although Lauren knew that her son would never cheat on anyone, she couldn't help but remember the
incident when Osvaldo was twelve years old and met that child. Even though Osvaldo never mentioned
it, as a mother, Lauren couldn't ignore the fact that something fishy had happened back then.
After being rescued from danger, Osvaldo refused to go home immediately and left with nothing but
flowers in his hands every morning until he returned late at night for two weeks straight.
When asked about it later by Lauren, the twelve-year-old boy only said that he promised someone
something and went to confess his love. Although he never got to meet the person who wanted him to
confess his feelings in the end.
Since then, Lauren knew that her son must have met someone while working as a mercenary who
changed his life forever. Perhaps even Osvaldo himself hadn't realized it yet; however, Lauren knew
deep down inside that this person was responsible for shaping her son's future.
If it wasn't for meeting someone whom he cared about deeply enough to protect them with all of his
might - Osvaldo wouldn't have picked up a knife or walked down such an uncertain path in life.
Because of this realization - Lauren felt worried about her son's future prospects.
She knew all these years had passed since then; however - she also understood how much impact one
person could make on another's life.
This is why she noticed how over time; Osvaldo bought so many houses worldwide without realizing
they were decorated similarly according to one particular style – which belonged solely to this special
individual whom he had once loved so dearly...
After Selena came into his life, Lauren thought that Osvaldo had finally let go of his past. But she never
expected that the person from that past would suddenly reappear at this time. If it was anyone else,
Lauren wouldn't be worried at all. But for Osvaldo, the child from back then was different.
Although she knew that his son could never do anything to hurt Selena, what if Selena found out about
the memories he still held onto about another person? What if she found out he had been keeping
them hidden for so many years?
Knowing how vengeful and unforgiving Selena could be, would her son really not get dumped for
"cheating"?
Lauren sighed. "Baby, are you really not considering being honest with Selena? Otherwise Mom is
afraid you'll get kicked out..."
Osvaldo remained silent.
If it were someone else in Aarav's place, Osvaldo might consider telling Selena the truth. But Aarav
was different - he was someone who had a close relationship with Selena and who she cared deeply
about.
His very existence could even hurt her.
In an instant, Osvaldo's eyes darkened and his tone turned cold as he said: "I know what I'm doing.
You don't have to worry."
Selena's care and concern for Aarav did not escape Osvaldo's notice, even though he knew they might
be related by blood. In such a situation, he would never mention anything about Aarav in front of
Selena.
Lauren could tell from her son's tone that there was no turning back on this matter. Osvaldo had made
up his mind to go see his "first love" from years ago!
Lauren felt both worried and sympathetic towards Selena. "Remember," she said to Osvaldo, "you have
to handle this carefully. If you hurt my daughter-in-law because of your so-called 'first love,' I won't
forgive you."
"Before you go see your first love," Lauren continued, "you need to make it up to Selena and treat her
well."
Osvaldo agreed with Lauren before hanging up the phone and returning quietly to his bedroom.
Selena was fast asleep with her pink face flushed and long eyelashes casting shadows on her face.
She looked innocent and adorable; nothing like the cold and dominant woman she appeared during the
day.
Osvaldo stared at Selena's beautiful sleeping face for a while before remembering what Lauren had
said earlier. Did he have special feelings for that child from years ago? He wasn't sure himself.
As a boy, he never thought deeply about what that child meant to him except that besides Selena, no
one else received such indulgence from him. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Even writing love letters and confessing his feelings... all of that was before Selena.
He had done those things with someone else, which should have only belonged to her.
Thinking about it now, Osvaldo suddenly felt like he was a bit of a jerk.
No wonder Luke and Lauren both called him.
The man stood still for a moment before turning around and walking out the door.
The butler stood outside the door, watching his young master go downstairs as if he were preparing to
leave. "Master, where are you going so late?"
Osvaldo casually put on his windbreaker. "I'm going out. If Selena wakes up, call me."
As he spoke, the man had already gotten into his car.
A black sports car zoomed out of the estate at lightning speed.
It was already midnight at this point.
For those who enjoyed nightlife, it was just getting started for them to seek pleasure and entertainment
in their own ways during this time frame.
The black sports car weaved through the bustling city as if searching for something important but after
looking for quite some time without any success in finding what he wanted; worried that Selena might
wake up in the middle of night Osvaldo suddenly stopped the car.
On the side of the street, a couple was holding hands and talking. The girl held a bouquet of red roses
in her arms, blushing as she looked at her boyfriend beside her.
The man was also looking at her with an indulgent smile on his face. Just as the atmosphere became
more romantic, a car suddenly stopped by the roadside.
The shiny black door opened and out stepped a handsome man with black hair and dark clothes. He
leaned against the car door and his gaze fell upon the bouquet in the girl's arms. His voice carried a
hint of tenderness as he asked, "Excuse me, where did you buy this bouquet?"
His deep voice had an indescribable allure that instantly caught the attention of both lovers who were
lost in their own world just moments ago. They looked up simultaneously but then froze on spot.
Without waiting for an answer, he patiently repeated his question,"Can you tell me where you bought
this bouquet?"
His low tone was slightly hoarse which made people feel like their ears were pregnant with something
inexplicable.
Finally snapping out of their daze, both lovers replied hesitantly almost simultaneously- "This... this is
from my boyfriend..."
The boy felt awkward but tried to remain calm,"We bought it from a flower shop nearby but it's already
closed at this hour..."
