Chapter 1648: I Love Her.

Selena clenched her fists, tears glistening in her clear eyes as she whispered, "My... real family..."

"Yes," Stanley pulled out a handkerchief and gently wiped away her tears. "My Selena is a good girl. She helped you seek revenge,

but did not take what rightfully belonged to you - your family's love and affection."

"Your father, your uncle, your cousins - except for your young cousin who may still be unaware of the truth - everyone knows about

your existence."

"Before coming back here, your uncle and cousin made a deal with me."

"They wantedto release you so that you could safely return home."

Selena tightened her grip on her fists and controlled her tears. Summoning all of her courage, she looked straight into Stanley's

eyes and asked,"What do I need to do before that?"

Stanley smiled. "You really are a smart girl."

His tone suddenly becserious. "Selena left everything that belongs to you with you except for one thing... Your fiancé is now

hers!"

"This can't be true! She wouldn't and couldn't possibly like him..." Selena was stunned.

After struggling on the brink of life and death for an entire year, in this girl's memory, Dominic was still her fiancé.

But Empress Creephia would never like Dominic.

Stanley chuckled softly,"Of course it's not Creephia who likes him; it's the person who should have been yours all along- Osvaldo!"

"Do you remember the necklace that your mother left for you? The old man from Anderson Family in Beijing once received

kindness from your mother; therefore he used this token of trust to arrange an engagement between his grandson and yourself."

"Osvaldo is truly meant to be yours if there were no unexpected events along the way."

Selena was stunned.

Faced with this sudden engagement that dropped from the sky, she had no idea how to react.

Stanley didn't say anything further, giving her enough tto digest the news.

After a long while, Selena lowered her head and said in a daze, "She gaveall of her relatives back except for that man. That

man must be very important to her..."

She didn't have much of a reaction when Stanley mentioned the man who was supposed to be her fiancé.

After all, they were strangers who had never even met before.

Stanley looked at her nervously twisting fingers and smiled gently. His voice finally revealed sdominance as he said, "No, that

man must be your fiancé!"

Selena's heart skipped a beat.

She vaguely guessed Stanley's intentions but was somewhat incredulous as she looked up at him. "You... like her?"

"No..." Stanley slowly walked towards the floor-to-ceiling window and looked towards where Selena was standing at the moment.

Selena saw clearly from his handsprofile that there was sdeep loneliness and sadness in his eyes at this moment,

In the dark night, Stanley's gentle voice cthrough clearly and slowly,

"I love her..."

"Do you know what it feels like to love someone?"

"I wait for her every day and dream of marrying her when she grows up."

"lI watched as she grew from an adorable little girl into a beautiful strong young woman."

"I have been looking forward to the day when she becomes my wife."

"At the last moment on the battlefield, I held her in my arms and watched as she closed her eyes and took her last breath..."

As if recalling a heart-wrenching pain, the once elegant and gentle man couldn't control himself any longer. He closed his eyes with

suppressed emotions. "In that moment, I thought I would die with her."

"A few seconds later, miraculously, her heart started beating again. I thought it was God's mercy for her achievements in this

empire for the past eighteen years."

"I stayed by her side every step of the way. With my soul as witness to all gods out there, from now on, I will never let her go to

battle alone again."

"If she wakes up, I will use my life, soul and everything else to protect her."

"I waited for a whole year until she finally opened her eyes..."

Stanley slowly turned his head around with a stern gaze fixed on Selena's face. "But instead of waiting for HER... I waited for you..."

In that moment of heart-wrenching fear and disappointment almost took Stanley's life.

He experienced firsthand what it was like when someone died in his arms.

No one could understand how desperate he felt or how much pain he endured.

After finally regaining hope when she cback to life once more after such a long wait... the person who woke up wasn't who he

expected.

To lose something only to gain it back just to lose it again...

The despair from going from heaven to hell is enough drive anyone insane.

And Stanley... he experienced this kind of despair twice!

Afterwards, he would have to face the fact that the girl he loved had fallen for another man.

The day Stanley found her again was the sday she got engaged to that man.

When Stanley saw Selena in her wedding dress, no one knew how much self-control it took for him not to burst out with emotions

of joy, happiness, sadness, pain and despair.

No wonder White Crow was worried that Stanley would lose his mind. This kind of pain is really not something ordinary people can

endure.

Stanley didn't go crazy. It's clear that his mental strength is both powerful and terrifying.

Selena stared at him with a deep sense of loss and sorrow in his eyes. Her lips moved slightly as she said "I'm sorry..."

Perhaps it wasn't entirely her fault.

But when she looked at the man across from her, she wanted to say something to comfort him.

No one understood better than her what it felt like to have loved someone since childhood but never be able to be together...

"lI don't need your apology," Stanley walked towards Selena step by step while looking into her eyes. "All I need is for us each go

our separate ways."

"What's yours is yours and what's hers is hers. You two were never meant to be together."

"She may have used your body but she also took on all your responsibilities and hatred."

"You two are even now."

"Now Miss Selena," Stanley stood in front of Selena while looking into her eyes. "Can you take away what belongs to you and give

Selena stared at the man whose eyes were filled with tenderness and pain as tears streamed down from hers."But... she will be

heartbroken..."

For a woman who had accepted that man as her fiancé, it meant that she truly liked him.

Stanley's slender fingers wiped away the tears from her face.

He never wanted to see this face cry again.

Even though he knew for certain that this was not his majesty whom he had raised in his hands.
