My Accidental Husband Is My Revenge Partner - Chapter 110

Chapter 110: Happy Birthday!
The man stared at Selene.

“Just do what you did here. Ask her for a dance and insist she dances with you,” Michelle ordered.

Although she knew what she planned was something simple, she was still satisfied with it. As long as Selene had a problem to deal with now and then, she was pleased.

Michelle wired some money into his account since he preferred payment before service.

When the transaction was done, the man marched towards Selene.

Michelle sipped her tea.

‘Claudia said not to cause Selene any trouble, but she never mentioned anything about someone else doing it,’ Michelle thought as she sipped her drink, finally allowing herself to enjoy the booming music. She deliberately kept her eyes from drifting toward Selene, ensuring she appeared unsuspicious amid the crowd.

“Hi, may I dance with you?” The strange man asked Selene who was talking with Martha.

She paused to look at the man with a questioning eyebrow.

“No, thanks,” she replied and focused back on Martha who was giving the strange man a side-eye.

“Come on, it’s just one dance,” he insisted, a grin playing on his lips.

“And I said no,” Selene repeated. She glanced at Michelle who was talking with other guests, adding. “She sent you, didn’t she?”

A cold sweat ran down the strange man’s back as she stiffened, pretending not to know what she was talking about.

“If you don’t want to be kicked out of here, I suggest you leave.”

“I don’t know what you are talking about, Miss. I just want to have a simple dance with you.” He insisted, about to grab Selene’s hand, but another hand grabbed his before he could touch her.

“She said she doesn’t want to dance with you, can’t you take a hint?” Liam questioned the strange man with a fierce glare. He had just excused himself to go to the restroom, only to come back to see someone bothering the ladies he left behind.

The strange man immediately raised his hand in surrender, completely giving up. He wouldn’t want to mess with Liam Taylor.

“Sure, man,” he said, turning away without a backward glance. He had no intention of returning to Michelle; with the money already transferred, his business with her was finished.

Meanwhile, Michelle’s eyes bore a hole in the back of the strange man who was already leaving.

‘He didn’t complete his task and he’s already leaving?’

Michelle tore her eyes from him to look at Selene, who was smiling as she continued to chat with both Martha and Liam as if nothing just happened.

Technically, nothing happened. Liam had intervened.

She grabbed her wine glass with a tight grip, resisting the urge to throw it across the room to vent out her pent-up frustration.

Selene was saved again by the people near her.

Out of anger, she left the party and headed towards her room. She was too furious to watch Selene smile and enjoy her time while hers turned bitter.

Selene smirked when she saw Michelle leaving the party.

‘Finally!’ She sighed.

The party went smoothly. The movie was promoted to other entertainment industries who were willing to do so. Of course, there was something in it for them.

A few people tried to ask Selene out for a dance, but she declined them all.

When the party was finally over, everyone retired to their room. Selene staggered to her room. Ito had offered to assist her but she refused his offer, she didn’t want any help.

Since Kace was still at Radiantia, Xavier had to follow her to Fameville and every city they would visit for their movie tour.

Selene hummed a song. She didn’t know where she heard the song from, but the rhythm just happened to come to her.

She opened the door of her room, walked in, and closed it shut. She turned on the light. When she saw the figure standing in front of her room, her eyes widened in surprise.

A balloon was in his hand. Her gaze landed on the tray of food which was placed aside.

“Happy birthday,” Xavier wished.

Selene froze stiff, completely caught off guard by his presence.

She had been so busy since morning, totally forgetting it was her birthday.

“Xavier,” she gasped as she continued to stare at him, tears pooling in her eyes. “When did you get here?” She asked.

Xavier dropped the balloon in his hand and walked towards her. “An hour ago, but you were at the party so I decided to plan a little surprise for you,” he responded, grinning slightly when he saw how hard she tried to stand in one place. She was so drunk.

“Thank you so much,” she appreciated. She had been occupied with a few things she completely forgot it was her birthday; Anastasia’s birthday and not Selene’s. “I don’t know what to say,” she added.

This was the first time in a while someone had remembered her birthday and wished her.

In the past, her birthday was taken seriously, only Michelle’s was. She closed her eyes, trying to forget the old memories.

She opened her eyes and found Xavier staring at her. It had only been two days but she already missed him.

“What?”

“You aren’t supposed to be crying on your birthday. The day is almost over, let’s cut your cake quickly,” he urged.

They cut the cake and fed each other.

The atmosphere felt warm. Selene couldn’t help but feel like she owed Xavier even more. She stared at him as he forced himself to eat the cake. She was long aware he didn’t like sweet things.

A chuckle burst out of her lips. She scooped the icing on top of the cake and painted his face with it, completely catching him off guard.

Selene threw her head back and laughed so hard she ended up coughing.

“You look like a ghost,” she commented as she tried to control herself.

Xavier scooped some of the icing and painted her face as well, leaving her stunned.
