Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 500 - A Willing Heart, Only For You

The day dawned anew. Selena had barely concluded her dealings with the Fair family's documents when her phone buzzed with a call from Austin. He proposed a meeting at a café, a high-end establishment, no less. Before venturing out, Selena made a point to pressure the court to expedite Madam Montague's settlement or cough up the due compensation. She wasn't about to let the painting issue be swept under the rug without a fight. Thus, she set off for the café. Upon her arrival, she found Austin impeccably dressed, a clear indication of the effort he had put into his appearance. As soon as he caught sight of her, he rose to his feet. "Selena," he greeted.

She acknowledged him with a nod, but before she could utter a word, he declared, "I'm willing, if it's you."

Austin was not a domineering man; he exuded a gentleness that momentarily reminded Selena of someone else. It was as if she was whisked back in time, lost in her thoughts.

As fate would have it, Austin had blurted out the very words that someone else had once said to her. "The moment I first saw you, I thought you were great."

Selena's fingertips lightly grazed the coffee cup in her hand, her lips parting to respond when a cup of strong coffee was hurled directly into Austin's face.

This café was not a place for the common man or prying paparazzi. It required reservations and was frequented by influential businessmen and celebrities. Upon entering, Austin had removed his hat and mask, revealing his face. Now, dark coffee dripped down his cheeks.
