Selene was currently in a situation with no turning back. She didn't expect Damien to be this insane.
In his world, there was nothing he couldn't get, and he had never really experienced any setbacks since childhood.
Selene drew a deep breath and said to Sophia outside the bathroom, "Mom, if there's anything, we can discuss it tomorrow morning. I'm quite tired, I plan to just go straight to bed after taking a bath."
Sophia sighed, knowing that moving out had left a knot in Selene's heart.
But there wasn't anything she could do. If given a chance again, Selene and the Jensen family still would have made the same decision. She was obedient, but in the end, she still wasn't a Jensen by blood.
"Alright, Selene. Your Dad and I will arrange your marriage with your boyfriend. Once you're married, there won't be any more malicious rumors, and people won't be judging you and Dami anymore if you two are seen together.
"We have already picked out a date for you. We can discuss tomorrow morning, and if you agree to it, you can leave everything to me and your Dad to handle."
Selene had no choice but to wrap her legs around Damien's waist, or else she would have fallen.
Upon hearing what Sophia said, Selene pressed her lips together. She had experienced the best and worst parts of human nature, so how was it possible that she couldn't understand the hidden meaning behind those words?
The Jensens were still afraid of the rumors—afraid that Selene might really end up together with Damien—so they pushed her to get married as soon as possible to put an end to those rumors.
Her hand braced against the side, and her heart couldn't help but ache with a sharp pain.
"I…"
Just as she was about to respond, Damien made a sudden thrust, and it made her almost slip up.
This predicament made her feel ashamed. On one hand, she owed a debt of gratitude for being raised by the Jensens. On the other hand, Damien was a brother she had watched grow up since childhood. It felt like she was being grilled over a fire.
Damien slowly lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "I'm growing impatient, Selene. Why don't we open the door here?"
He was threatening her.
Selene clenched her hand tightly and quickly turned toward the outside. "Mom, let's talk about it some other day. I'm really tired."
