Chapter 424 Stop Overthinking

Pierre shoved Selena aside angrily. "F*ck off! I told you I'm fine. Everything's fine!" She then realized how his cheeks had turned pink. I can't believe this guy is actually capable of feeling embarrassed! "Is it tha hard to admit it when you feel nervous or afraid?" she uttered with a pout.

He realized what she was doing then. This woman is doing this on purpose! All of a sudden, she wrapped her arms around his neck as she whispered, "What are you so afraid of? Are you afraid that I won't get married to you?" Selena could sense how tense and anxious Pierre felt the whole afternoon after Joaquin told her to bring him for a body checkup, and she knew that Pierre was just trying to conceal his worries.

"You've done so much for me, Pierre. You know that I would never leave you alone, right?" Tears welled up in her eyes as she spoke. Her heart ached whenever she thought about what the inspectors had said to her earlier. Pierre's identity wouldn't have been exposed if it weren't for my ignorance. "Alright. Why are you getting all cheesy with me?” he grumbled. "Did you expose your identity because of me?" she asked.

He immediately brushed his thumb against her cheeks when he saw the tears on her face. "You need to stop overthinking," he said. He actually had a good idea of what the inspectors told Selena during their session.

Even before they met up with her, he already knew that Selena would eventually replace out about how she was related to his leaked identity. It was true that he did it for her, but he didn't want her to be burdened by such knowledge. "It's only a matter of time before my identity gets exposed. They would have managed to replace out about me even if it weren't for you," he continued. "But—"

"No buts." He interrupted her words. "Don't overthink it. It's fine; there are some benefits to having my identity exposed anyway. We'll be able to capture all of those people the moment they come out of hiding." Selena knew that Pierre was merely trying to comfort her, so she pressed her head against his chest as she said in a gentle voice, "I promise I won't drag you down, Pierre. I promise I'll never leave you." She sounded like she was making a solemn oath. "Please don't leave me behind either, okay?"

He kissed her on the lips. "Aren't you afraid of being in a committed relationship with me?"

"I'm not afraid as long as you're around," she replied instantly.

"What if I'm not around?" There would be times in the future when he wouldn't be able to be by her side, and she would have to deal with all her troubles on her own then. He knew how strong Selena was, but she was still a woman in the end.

At that, she held onto his hand and held it over her heart. "You'll always be around because you'll always be right here in my heart."

His eyebrows shot up all of a sudden. "What a great speech! I wish I could actually get inside you right now!"

She flashed him a glare as her cheeks turned beet red. "F*ck you!"

Nevertheless, Pierre didn't dare to mess around as Selena had to go for her body checkup the next morning. Hence, he decided that they would have to wait until she was done with everything. They were so close to becoming husband and wife.

The following day, Pierre brought Selena to the hospital that they had been assigned to for a full-body checkup. The hospital had to take a lot of blood from Selena, as there were many tests that they had to run. She wasn't an exceptionally healthy woman to begin with, and the continuous drawing of blood and her lack of breakfast only made her feel dizzier than ever. Pierre felt his heart aching for her, but he couldn't do anything about it. All he could do then was to wait for her to complete her tests so that he could bring her out for a delicious meal.

The test report was released two days after that. On that day, there was a crucial shareholders meeting for Empire Group, so Selena went to collect her report on her own.

The doctor called for her to enter his office once she arrived at the hospital. "My body checkup report looks okay, right, doctor?"
