"I’ll accept this gift, thank you. But please, don’t do this again in the future. Your safety is the greatest gift for ."
Selena Kensington thought for a mont and then said.
She didn’t know if Samuel Dalton was hiding too deep. Although she felt sothing strange, she couldn’t really figure out Samuel Dalton’s inner thoughts.
"...Alright, I’ll be careful."
Samuel Dalton ignored the first part of her words, catching onto the latter part, and a slight smile curled on his lips.
His sister cared for him.
"Then I’ll head back now."
During the ti she spoke with Samuel Dalton, a few minutes had already passed.
She was afraid that if she didn’t go back, she would make Sterling Norwood worried.
"...Yeah, by the way, sister, stay in the room for a while and don’t co out, okay?"
"I don’t want you to get hurt."
Though he was reluctant, Samuel Dalton couldn’t stop her from leaving.
"Hm? Okay, you be safe too."
"Alright!"
After that, Selena Kensington left.
Samuel Dalton kept watching her departing figure until she disappeared around the corner.
The smile on his face gradually faded, and the warmth in his eyes was gradually replaced by cold cruelty.
He reverted back to being the ruthless Aloof Alessio Colombo.
Those trash would do best to pray they don’t disturb her, otherwise...

Fortunately, the velvet gift box wasn’t big, so Selena Kensington put it in her bag.
She made her way back and just as she reached the door, she noticed soone walking out of room number four next door.
A foreign man with blond hair and blue eyes, his eyes full of warmth and charm.
Upon seeing Selena Kensington, his eyes lit up, and he spoke to her in English, "Oh, beautiful Oriental lady, may I know your na?"
He initially intended to approach her directly, but Hughes’ bodyguard stopped him.
The bodyguard gave him a warning glance.
The man quickly raised his hands to show he ant no harm.
Selena Kensington ignored him and opened the door to enter the room.
When she returned to their room, Sterling Norwood frowned slightly, "Why did it take so long this ti?"
Because of Samuel Dalton’s identity, Selena found it hard to explain and didn’t want Sterling to overthink, so she didn’t tell him she had t Samuel Dalton.
She sat down, "What’s wrong with a girl taking a little longer to fix her makeup?"
She sat down beside Sterling, pulled his tie over, and left a lipstick print on it.
Afterward, she seed quite satisfied, showing Sterling, "Look, didn’t I fix it well?"
Sterling Norwood looked sowhat helplessly at the bright red lipstick mark on his tie.
"Very well."
"Hehe!"
Selena Kensington chuckled.
Hughes spoke helplessly, "I say, you two, did you forget there’s a third person in this room?"
He figured his cousin acted like this, but now his cousin-in-law was uninhibited too, leaving him, the single guy, feeling completely disregarded!
The couple showed off their love openly!
Selena glanced at him, lifted her chin slightly, "Hughes, you’re an adult now, you should learn how to quietly be part of the backdrop."
Her expression was proudly defiant, making Sterling Norwood involuntarily smile.
"Just think of him as air."
He said to Selena Kensington.
"..."
Hughes was speechless.
His cousin and cousin-in-law truly understood each other—one treated him as the backdrop, the other treated him as air.
He was really foolish, so foolish indeed.
Why did he insist on coming to see Selena Kensington and endure such suffering?
Afterwards, Selena Kensington stopped teasing Hughes because the auction had started.
Sterling Norwood inford her that the Saint Maria had already left the port of the Isle of Cyrin and was now sailing in The Zephyr Sea.
