Chapter 819 “Celia, who is David to you?” Selena asked something else.
“A hero!”
Celia gave it some thought before continuing, “He risked his life to save me once when I was most hopeless and desperate. Ever since then, he had always been a hero bestowed upon me by the Heavens. He’s the most perfect man in my eyes. In poverty or in wealth, in sickness or in health, I will never abandon him.”
Celia’s delicate features were filled with happiness and sweetness after she said that.
“Then would you be willing to sacrifice something for him?” Selena prodded.
“As long as it’s what he needs, I’m willing to sacrifice anything,” Celia replied with determination.
Selena immediately grew confident once she heard Celia’s reply.
Interpersonal relationships mattered a lot to David, so if she wanted him to accept her, Selena needed to get Celia to agree.
Of course, she would not fight Celia for David’s attention.
She and Celia might not have known each other for long, but Celia’s personality was something many men would find themselves drawn to.
In fact, even Selena herself was drawn to Celia’s personality and she believed that as long as she told Celia the truth, the latter would definitely be willing to make sacrifices because she was an understanding lady.
If David was unwilling to take a step in her direction, then she would take it for him.
She knew that her actions would anger David right now, but Selena believed that with time, David would come to thank her.
She knew that it was upsetting for men to have to hold themselves back all the time.
“Celia, you should be proud of David. Not only is he your hero, but he’s also everyone else’s. He has the weight of the entire universe on his shoulders, though not everyone knows about this. If anything were to happen to David, seventy billion people on earth and more than a hundred billion life forms would face a huge catastrophe.” “Could you be clearer, Miss Selena? I don’t think I understand you,” Celia asked. David had never told her these things before, and she never asked. Still, this did not mean Celia was uninterested in the things surrounding David.
“Alright. I’ll be more detailed, then.”
Selena proceeded to tell Celia about martial artists and even told her about the prophecy of the upcoming catastrophe.
She then told Celia that David would be the hero that would save the world from this catastrophe.
“Is that true, Miss Selena?” Celia asked in disbelief
“I wouldn’t lie about this,” Selena replied with certainty.
Celia fell silent. She did not expect David to have such high status and power.
As far as she was concerned, David was just a successful youth who had established his own business.
She never thought to pay attention to things like status since she did not care about David’s identity. Whether David was just a delivery boy, the owner of a large enterprise , or humanity’s savior, it did not change the fact that she deeply loved David.
Of course, Celia still felt extremely happy after hearing what Selena said since it meant that she had fallen in love with an outstanding man.
“Did you know, Miss Selena? David and I used to be high school classmates. During that time, I once slid and fell in the middle of the road as a huge truck was speeding toward me. I was terrified and I thought that I was going
to die, but David happened to be delivering food nearby and he saved me from the truck. He ended up spilling a dozen delivery boxes, but at that moment, I knew that David was going to be the man for me. “We were great friends from then on, until David got into a relationship with his girlfriend and started to distance himself from me. I was really sad back then, and I cried almost every night, but I slowly came to understand that love isn’t about having someone by your side, but rather knowing that he’s happy.
“After high school, I came back to Capital City for university. The only contact we had were the occasional blessing messages exchanged during festivities. Later, I found out that David and his girlfriend broke up, so I mustered the courage to confess to him. We got together afterward, but I never expected my happiness to come so soon.
“Therefore, it doesn’t matter to me who David really is. It’s all the same to me and I don’t really care. Even if he’s still a delivery boy, it wouldn’t change that I still admire him and love him the most.”
Celia simply told Selena about her and David’s story.
The corner of her lips quirked up as she retold the story, as she had only ever dreamt of and never expected to be with David
She had originally planned to give up as long as David was
happy in life.
She had even entertained the thought of never marrying and dying alone since she could not accept the idea of any other man but David touching her.
Still, the Heavens had given her a chance to make her dreams come true and she now thought that she was the happiest woman in the world.
“Celia, do you know how great you are? Any man would love a girl like you, and I can see why David’s willing to suffer alone rather than risk putting you in harm’s way,” Selena exclaimed.
Celia’s smile fell the moment she heard what Selena said.
She asked nervously, “Miss Selena, is David alright? What do you mean “suffer’? Tell me!”
“Are you sure you want to know?” Selena asked.
“Yeah! Tell me, quickly,” Celia replied without hesitation.
“Are you sure, Celia? You’ll be in a lot of pain once you find out. And if David finds out that I told you, he’ll definitely blame me. With his current identity and strength , all it’ll take is a word from him and I’d be put through all eighteen layers of hell.” “Please , Miss Selena, tell me! Don’t worry, David won’t do anything to you as long as I’m here. He won’t even know you told him if I don’t say anything.”
Selena did not hesitate anymore. This was precisely what she wanted.
David loved Celia deeply and did not wish her any harm, but Celia loved David deeply as well.
According to her understanding of Celia’s character over the past few days, Celia would definitely compromise the moment she found out about the situation David was in.
This was Selena’s chance to make David hers, so she leaned down and whispered in Celia’s ear.
