"Heh? You're nothing compared to me." Selena's second mother slapped Selena's biological mother.
"You..." Obviously, she wanted to fight back, but her second mother simply smiled, "What? You don't have a position anymore. Who can you rely on?"
"You slut. You don't hesitate to betray your husband and just cling to the Ashton family." She bit her lips.
"The only thing I hear is the excuse of a loser." She smirked.
The first wife bit her lips and walked away. "Just you wait."
The young Selena was peeking from the corner. It didn't take long for her second mother to do such a thing.
And because of this fight, she ended up suffering. The anger that her biological mother contained in her heart ended up being unleashed upon her, which was the cause of her suffering in the past decade.
Why would they fight? Shouldn't they work together to pass the crisis?
Selena couldn't get an answer for a long time.
"!!!" Selena suddenly opened her eyes, her head still on Nathan's arm. In fact, she was hugging Nathan as if she were clinging to her dear life.
"..." Selena remained silent. 'Why would I dream about it? Is it because I resemble both of them? For most people, having multiple women is a sign of a prosperous family. After all, it shows the wealth to maintain their status and solve their problems.
'In addition, if each person has significant status in their former household, their families can also help with that problem.
'However, that's also how my family began to crumble. The moment my father went missing, my biological mother, who was his first wife, lost her status, especially because the one having the most support from the family was not her but my uncle. If she had that support, she would have been fine.
'That's why I need strength... I need to be stronger than anyone else in the family, so that I can ensure the stability of the family even if something happens, which I never hope to happen.
'Then again, I don't think people will like it, since Nathan's bloodline is unique. If I don't let people near him, they will most likely try to remove me. Nathan will protect me, but it will be him against the world. I don't want it to happen.
'Or is this just because of my experience? Am I being selfish? Why do I even think about this in the first place?'
Selena sighed. 'Maybe I'm just overthinking this matter. Has something changed in me? Have I become too soft?'
When she thought about it, she noticed that everything had changed. Her emotions had come back to a certain extent, her abilities had developed much faster than she originally thought, and her view toward the world had drastically widened.
Selena fell into deep thought for a moment.
At the same time, there was a soft groan coming from Nathan.
"Mhmm?"
Nathan's body shook but soon noticed he was unable to move and stopped. As expected, the first thing that he did was open his eyes wide as if to check everything wasn't a dream, only to find her staring at her.
Nathan blinked his eyes a few times. "Good morning... Selena."
Selena was embarrassed after last night, but she still nodded her head. "Good morning."
Nathan wanted to say something, but Selena suddenly stopped him. "Nathan. This might be a little random, but do you mind answering my questions?"
"Questions? Sure. I don't mind. "Nathan nodded while lowering his voice so that Risa didn't wake up.
Selena's expression turned serious as she dropped a bomb. "Do you really want to have multiple wives?"
"..."
