Chapter 620 Departure

They laughed, then Pierre kissed her. "I'll be going now. Take care of yourself. And don't push yourself, get it?”

She nodded. "I love you, honey." He hugged her tightly. Oh, how he wished he didn't have to let go, but he had to. "You should go now, or you'll be late." She pushed him away. Selena knew it'd be hard for him to leave if they kept it up.

"See you." He let her go and turned around. Selena didn't go after him, or she'd want to hold him again. Pierre looked up after he went down, and he saw Selena by the window, seeing him off. He waved at her, but she pulled the curtains down. Once he was out of sight, she let her tears flow.

It was a sleepless night for Selena. Her mind was in a mess, for all she could think of was the mission Pierre had to take.

Juniper woke up early the next morning, and she quickly came to see Selena. "I had a dream last night, Mommy. Daddy bought a giant teddy bear for me! Hey, where's Daddy?"

"He went to work, sweetie." "When's he coming back? I thought he got me a teddy bear, so I came to look." Juniper stared down, feeling crestfallen. "He'll be back soon, but he won't make it in time for the festival."

Realization struck Juniper. "Oh, so that's why we were wearing the new clothes yesterday. I see. That's why we had the festival feast too, huh?"

Selena hugged Juniper. "Your daddy's a hero, Juniper. He's going to protect the world, so we're gonna support him, alright?" "Really? Is Daddy really that awesome?"

"Yeah. Your daddy's the best daddy in the whole world. Let's wait for him to come back alright?"

Juniper nodded. The boys didn't think much about Pierre's departure. They weren't close to him anyway, so it didn't matter if he was there or not. Even though Pierre wasn't around, they had to celebrate the festival anyway.

Selena and the servants who stayed back made the dumplings and the food for the festival. It was busy, but they had fun. On the festival's eve, Selena took the kids to see the gala for a bit before giving them the sparklers. The kids hopped around happily when the fireworks bloomed in the sky.

The fireworks bloomed magnificently in the sky for but a moment before disappearing into the darkness forever. Unbidden, she thought about Pierre, wondering where he was and what he was doing. She gave the kids a red envelope each on the first day of the festival, and the servants received a big bonus. Selena even prepared some gifts for the kids, though she told them Pierre bought it.

Juniper got a big teddy bear. It was two heads taller than her, and it was quite heavy too. Juniper couldn't jump if she was holding the teddy bear. "I knew Daddy would give me a teddy bear! My dream came true!"

She gave Joaquin a new PC. Joaquin could see that it was the best PC around. It was much better than the one he was using, and he could do all sorts of things he couldn't do on his old PC.

Jameson got a box of good food, but Selena told him he could only have one snack a day. The boy couldn't be happier when he saw the big box of goodies in front of him.

On the second day of the festival, Selena was invited to a festival ball.
