FakeNovelChapter 413 Selene was so furious that she bit down hard on the tip of Damien's tongue. She heard him hiss in pain, and he pulled away.
At that moment, the lights in the living room suddenly lit back up. The darkness only lasted for less than ten seconds.
Sophia asked the maid beside her, "What happened?" "It was just a wiring issue, Mrs. Jensen." Sophia looked up and saw Damien resting his head on one hand, the other casually covering his mouth. "What are you laughing at, Dami?" No matter how hard Selene tried to stay calm, her heart still tensed when she heard Sophia ask Damien that question.
Damien raised his eyebrows, still covering his mouth. "Oh, it was nothing. I just fed Sis a slice of tangerine." Sophia shifted her gaze to Selene.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSelene knew that Damien had a nature that thrived on chaos. The Jensens had doted on him since he was young, and even she herself had always spoiled him. It was like he could summon storms at will, akin to a tyrant through and through, who was afraid of absolutely nothing.
Sophia picked up a tangerine. "This tangerine was still hanging on the tree last night. If you like it, Selene, you can bring shlater." Selene stood up. "Mom, I'll be going on a business trip for a week soon. I should be back just in tfor Christmas." "Where to? You're always so busy, and you don't really reach out to us. I know it's because of those rumors-" Selene quickly cut her off. "Not too far. It's only an hour from here by plane. I'm leaving first thing in the morning, so I'll head back to my room and rest now." According to their past traditions, she usually stayed overnight at Jensen Residence on Sophia's birthday. She went to her room, which she used to stay in during her childhood. Nothing had changed inside.
