Chapter 190
“It’s none of your business.” Howard was icy as he grabbed Gwendolyn’s hand and hurried away from the clubhouse. Gwendolyn sensed his mood had turned even frostier Was it because he had run into Selina?
Jeannie had mentioned that there was bad blood between the Chadwick family and the Hamilton family
The sound of footsteps was getting closer behind them. Gwendolyn glanced back and saw Nathan running after them.
“I honestly didn’t know Ryan was going to bring Selina along. Nathan explained urgently. “He just said it was a brothers‘ night out. I
thought we hadn’t hung out in ages, so I invited you for a good time. Are you okay? His concern was palpable.
A cold glint flickered in Howard’s eyes as he replied, “I’m fine. Just skip planning these boring gatherings next time.”
“I swear, no more,” Nathan said, almost as if taking an oath.
With that. Howard walked away.
Nathan sighed and headed back. The door to the private room was ajar.
Everyone else had left, except for Selina and Ryan. Selina was sobbing uncontrollably, downing glasses of whiskey like water.
“Ryan, he hasn’t forgiven me!”
Tears streamed down her face, the belle of the ballet world living up to her reputation as the graceful swan.
Ryan dabbed at her tears with a tissue, his voice tinged with sympathy. “It’s alright. There’s still time.
Selina shook her head between sobs. “I hate the way he looks at me. He must despise me. But I had my reasons. I didn’t mean to….
“Selina, he’s mamed now.”
“No!” She was adamant in her refusal. “Gwendolyn is just a country girl, a stand–in bride. They have no real connection, but he and I grew up together! Didn’t everyone think we were meant to be?”
Ryan, seeing her distress, nodded helplessly.
Her tears intensified, her eyes swollen red, and she clutched at her chest, coughing.
“Would it have been better if I’d died in that car crash? I wouldn’t be suffering like this. Howie wouldn’t hate me…”
“Stop it” Ryan interjected. “That was his choice.”
He patted her back soothingly. “No more drinking. Il take you home later.”
“I don’t want to go home tonight, she choked out through her sobs.
Nathan quietly closed the door.
What a tangled web of fate! Was Selina still deluding herself?
He lingered for a moment, then took out his phone and texted Jeannie, ‘Selina’s back!‘
The night was dim
The Rolls–Royce glided silently, its headlights a dull glow.
Gwendolyn, lost in thought, looked over at Howard. The sight of Selina had stirred many questions in her mind.
Selina had returned from abroad, and she and Mr. Chadwick seemed to share an unusual connection.
The birthday gift that Marina had tossed aside. Could it have been sent by Selina?
And were those frequent intemational calls Mr. Chadwick received from her?
Feeling choked up, Gwendolyn was uneasy.
“What’s on your mind?” Howard turned to her, his handsome face and deep eyes searching hers
Gwendolyn shook her head.

“If there’s something you want to s
say, just say
Encouraged by his words, Gwendolyn bit her lip before asking. “Really? Can I?”
“Yes, speak.”
“Mr. Chadwick, about Ms. Hamilton and you. Her cheeks flushed, betraying her discomfort
