Pierre jumped in shock, and so did Selena.

Both of them were stunned as they gazed into each other's eyes, and at that moment, they weren't sure how they were supposed to react.

Selena was the first to look away. She spun on her heels and retreated back into the bedroom while Pierre trailed after her. He continued to follow her as she paced restlessly around the room and he did not relent even as she went into the bathroom, followed by the walk-in wardrobe.

He didn't know what he should say to her. Even though he had mentally rehearsed the phrase 'I'm home' numerous times on his way back here, the words seemed to have escaped him the moment he saw her.
