The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor
Chapter 795

Selena felt at ease. She used to worry how Ben led his life in a muddle, and she was also worried about him marrying Xena.

She knew it in her guts that Xena was no good for Ben; the girl was terribly calculative and liked to fake things.

Elaine was much purer when compared to Xena, and it helped that Elaine was much prettier as well.

As they both had clear schedules for the day, they both went to pick up Kylie from school.

Needless to say, Kylie was over the moon when both her mother and father came to pick her up from school. Her excitement was written all over her face.

Everybody rested well that night.

Fiona woke Selena and Fane very early in the morning.

"What is it, Mother? I still want to continue my beauty sleep. Why did you wake me up s o early in the morning? I don't need to work nowadays," muttered a disgruntled Selena. She slept rather last night, and it transpired after Fane's suggestive comment about having a second child. Of course, they both slept late.

Selena wanted to wake up much later as she was still very tired. She never thought that her mother would wake her at eight in the morning.

"Listen to me: One of my best friends who married a person overseas has returned after ten years since her last trip back.

She's called me and wants to treat us to a

meal!" chirped an obviously excited Fiona.

"She's treating you to a meal, Mother, and you can go alone in that case. Why do you need to wake us up? We're not interested to eat with your best friend. We don't even know her!" Selena was dumbfounded at her mother's reasoning. She rolled her eyes at her mother and was prepared to go back to bed.

"Get up! Don't go back to sleep! There's a reason why I'm waking you guys up. This is not just a normal meal. My best friend's father has caught a very weird disease, and since Fane knows how to cure people, I think he can go and help take a look." Fiona pulled Selena back to sit up. "Since your husband is going, you need to accompany him and go too. Apart from that, this best friend of mine is rather wealthy overseas! I heard that they operate a really big company there!" "Are you being serious? Sure, Fane knows how to cure people, but he can't cure every illness, right?" Selena looked at Fane as she pouted.

Fane smiled. "Well, I can cure almost all illnesses. Even Ethan Haays's medical skills aren't as good as mine."

"Fine. And you're starting to boast again," Selena conceded, though a small smile appeared on her face. "Alright, let's go. Let me tidy myself up and I'll tag along for food."

"That's right. Isn't it nice as we're able to enjoy a big meal without paying anything?" With a pleased grin on her face, Fiona then told Selena, "By the way, bring your most expensive bag and put on your expensive jewelry, Selena. I remember how we were once poor, and I can see that even my best friend looked down on me. Hmph! Now that I'm rich, I'm never going to let a repeat of that happening." "Mother, you don't seem like you're going to a reunion with your best friend. It seems like you're only going to show off." Selena grew frustrated. Was it necessary to parade herself before others?

"Nonsense! I'm rich now, and it's only right that I get to flaunt however I want to. Years ago, she snatched a man that I really liked and that man fell for her money," Fiona said angrily. "Eventually, she found out that this guy had relationships with several other women at the same time, and she went overseas after they broke up. Who would've thought that she'd marry a man while she's out there, and that man is also from Cathysia!"

"Wow, Mother, I didn't know you had quite the story from way back then!" said Selena with a smile after she finished washing her face. "So you married my father later on, huh? You got your hands on a young master from a third-class aristocratic family?"

"Absolutely not! The Taylor family wasn't a third-class aristocratic family at that time, though they were considered as a wealthy family who does business!" came Fiona's straight-forward reply, not beating around the bush. "It's a pity that your father is a disappointing person and doesn't have much talent in businesses. I spent my life in a wretched way even though I'm married to him."
