Chapter 68
“Why are you here again? Especially when I am nothing to you,” asked Kelly sarcastically. She tossed a slipper at Seldon angrily
and hoped the latter would disappear from her sight. Selden dodged the flying slipper instantly. Realizing that Kelly was about to
return inside, he extended his hand quickly to prevent the door from shutting. Kelly didn’t expect the sudden act, “Hey, what do
you want from me?” “I will leave as soon as I got my stuff.” Kelly was stunned. She threw away all of his belongings after their
breakup.
“There’s nothing here! Go and find them in the dumpster downstairs if you want!” Kelly grunted.
“Wait, what? Don’t tell me you have threw my medical documents away!”
“Huh? I threw everything away, so stop bothering me!” Selden was frustrated as they were crucial research outputs from the
hospital. He had been searching the papers for a while before deducing the possibility of leaving them in Kelly’s car two weeks
ago. Now that they were gone, and he had no extra copies of them! Knowing that Kelly was an ignorant woman, Selden was
certain that the documents were lost. “Kelly, please tell me you are joking. It is a thick folder with our hospital’s name printed on
it. Think about it again, please.” Selden tried again. Kelly was disappointed with Selden. Apart from being a workaholic, Ava was
the only thing he could think of! It was obvious that Selden wanted nothing to with her now.
“Selden, there are so many guys out there pursuing me. You are such trash! How dare you toy with my feelings!” Kelly couldn’t
hold it anymore and she threw another slipper towards Selden.
It was painful, and the mark was visible on his forehead now.
The door slammed before Selden could do anything.
Since she was a child actress, Kelly was constantly under the spotlight and well-loved by everyone. Yet, she was now failing at
romance despite having a remarkable career recognized by everyone. Kelly leaned against the door and sobbed, unbeknownst
to Selden. If only he could see her now, Selden would realize that the outspoken Kelly was a disguise, and deep down she was
merely a fragile woman yearning for love. “Selden, you fool!” Kelly gritted her teeth and wiped off her tears.
After exiting the condominium, Selden was tempted to uncover his documents from the dumpster.
However, it was a few days ago since he last met Kelly and the trash cans were probably emptied by the collectors. There was a
little to tiny chance that he could find them again. Selden sighed deeply and thought that all his hard work gone to waste just like
that. As Selden was about to enter his car, a woman greeted him from behind, “Hello, Mr. Oakley.” Turn around, he saw a woman
dressed in casual attire. Based on the fine make-up and luxurious accessories, she was not a regular person. “I am Selina and
we’ve met before.” As the woman tilted her face up, she revealed her elegant features and charming smile. “Miss Newton, how
can I help you?” Selden was surprised by her sudden presence. As far as he was concerned, they were not close to each other.
“Can we have a private discussion? A cup of coffee is fine by me.” “Sure. A date with beauty is my honor,” said Selden with a
flashy smile. In the coffee shop, Selden asked her directly, “So tell me, Miss Newton. How can I help you?”
“I have a gift for you.” Selina placed a folder in front of Selden. Selden’s eyes widened in shock as they were the medical
documents that he lost previously. “Why do you have them with you?” asked Selden suspiciously.
hearing the breakup news between you two, I was pretty sure that Kelly would get rid of your belongings. In the end, I stumbled
across this folder among the piles of rubbish.”
“Wow, you sure are a strange person,” replied Selden sarcastically. Selina ignored his sarcasm and continued, “This plain folder
caught my eye among the clutter of branded handbags and makeup products. Kelly probably threw it away recklessly. Just as I
thought, they are important documents, right?” “You’re right. The documents are important for my application as a chief medical
officer.” Selden opened the folder and found that everything was there. “Thank you, Miss Newton,” blurted him.
“The pleasure is mine,” Selina beamed at him. “But I don’t think you are here just to deliver this folder in the middle of your busy
day, Miss Newton.” “You’re indeed as perceptive as they say. I suppose I don’t have to waste time.” Selden chuckled and thought
that Selina had been wasting time all this while when their conversation could have been concluded much earlier. “I’m here
because...” Before Selina could finish, Selden interrupted her, “I refuse.” “Mr. Newton, I am not done yet.” “Whatever it is, the
answer is a no.” Selina did not expect such a reaction, and she was feeling awkward by his firm refusal. Selden stood up and
stretched himself, “If that’s all, then you’ll have to excuse me. Again, thank you
for returning the folder.”
“Mr. Oakley, wait!” Selina followed him. She asked directly, “I know why you broke up with Kelly. Are you really going to stand
there and watch her marry another man to start a new family?” Selden smirked, “Kelly is not my only option for everything, you
know?” “I’m not referring to Kelly, but Av...”
“Know your place, Miss Newton!” Selden interrupted her coldly.
He was a playful person until matters regarding Ava. Right now, Selina was testing his patience.
“Miss Newton, not everyone is persistent like you, and some of us know our limits.”
“But are you happy with this?” “What about you?” Selden refuted. “...” Selina was suddenly at a loss for words. “You can’t do
anything about it. Just let it go if it’s not yours,” reminded Selden.
