Chapter 807: Chapter 807: Love Can Withstand All Turbulence
But those two reactions alone were the most memorable for her.
Such clear and real dreams.
Such painful and profound feelings.
Selena Kensington could not forget.
Sterling Norwood also sighed beside her, "It seems that this main residence will become lively again soon."
After that, Grandma Jennings and Sterling Norwood went over to play chess.
Hugh Kensington and Sterling Norwood went upstairs to the study to discuss matters, so only Felicity Dalton remained by Selena Kensington’s side in the living room.
Selena Kensington glanced at Felicity Dalton’s serene expression and knew that she had been doing well recently.
"Quinn, do you have any plans lately?"
Selena Kensington suddenly asked.
Felicity Dalton was taken aback, then shook her head, "No."
"Since I announced my return, several old friends have approached me wanting to collaborate on a new project, but after reviewing those scripts, none really appealed to me, so I’ve been hesitating."
After Felicity Dalton finished speaking, she suddenly thought of the new work Selena Kensington mentioned at the Stardust annual meeting.
She hesitated for a moment but still asked, "Sister, are you hoping I would consider your new work?"
Selena Kensington neither denied nor affirmed, "I’m still in the planning stage; I don’t have any concrete ideas yet, only some vague concepts."
After she finished speaking, she laughed to herself, "You know, given my current situation, if I wanted to film a new series, it will probably have to wait until the second half of the year." And this was the earliest Selena Kensington thought it could happen.
After all, the issue with The Godsbane Organization was still unresolved.
Felicity Dalton also laughed along.
Her face was of the kind of high-class beauty that had a slight hint of world-weariness, so she gave off an air of keeping strangers at a distance effortlessly.
But just a slight smile from her could brighten up anyone’s day.
Felicity Dalton said, "As long as you wish, I can always clear my schedule for you."
Selena Kensington raised an eyebrow, "Am I that fortunate?"
"You always have been."
Felicity Dalton replied naturally.
Selena Kensington chuckled lightly.
"By the way, it seems Hugh will be graduating early this year. After he graduates, you two..."
When Felicity Dalton talked about other matters, she was fine, but as soon as it came to her own, a slight ripple appeared in those calm eyes.
She felt a bit at a loss, "We... we haven’t had that idea yet."
"You two have been together for so long, hasn’t he mentioned it?" Selena Kensington frowned slightly and asked.
It’s impossible, considering her brother’s personality; he’s not one to keep things.
Felicity Dalton shook her head slightly, "It’s because of me..."
Selena Kensington saw her this way and understood.
Hugh Kensington must have mentioned it, but perhaps Felicity Dalton had her reasons or some hurdles she couldn’t overcome, so she hadn’t pursued the topic further.
And this time, even before Selena Kensington had a chance to ask, Felicity Dalton spoke up herself.
A slight worry appeared on her beautiful face.
"Actually, inside me, there’s always a hurdle. I’m seven years older than him. Even though Hugh acts far more mature than his actual age, I feel a bit repressed and even loathe myself for involving him out of my selfish desires."
In Felicity Dalton’s eyes.
Hugh Kensington was still very young.
Back when she knew him, he was still a shining young man on stage, whereas she had already been through many worldly affairs as a mature woman.
She knew what she wanted, and she knew how to achieve what she desired.
Felicity Dalton knew her heart was tainted, but her young man was pure.
She knew the means by which she met Hugh Kensington were not honest, and thus there was always an invisible obstacle in her heart.
If she had not taken that step back then.
Would they be where they are now? Would Hugh Kensington have been better off without her?
Would he meet a younger, prettier girl who could accompany him through life’s ups and downs?
Thinking of this, Felicity Dalton’s heart grew increasingly anxious.
Although she was created as a clone, having been in the Dalton Family for so long, one could say she was raised by Old Master Dalton, and as such, her inner thoughts inevitably bore his influence.
That’s why she made so many moves back then.
"Sometimes I often think, if it weren’t for me... he..." Felicity Dalton bit her lower lip, finally speaking, "Would he have met a young girl who could weather the storm with him?"
Their age difference was a gulf, one that could not be bridged.
Even Felicity Dalton couldn’t convince herself otherwise.
Selena Kensington listened to Felicity Dalton’s words and looked up at her, "Is that what you think?"
Felicity Dalton was stunned.
She returned from her thoughts, then lifted her head to gaze at Selena Kensington.
Her look was calm, making Felicity Dalton’s internally anxious heart also calm down.
Seeing Felicity Dalton calm down, Selena Kensington met her gaze seriously and said, "Quinn, you must trust Hugh."
"In love, there’s no such thing as selfishness or barriers of age. You think if you hadn’t stepped in, Hugh would have met a young girl, but have you considered that without you, Hugh might still be single right now..."
"Sometimes, love just works that way; once it comes, it can’t be stopped. So just naturally accept it."
Selena Kensington’s face bore a soft smile, gradually dissolving Felicity Dalton’s inner worries.
She reached out and held Felicity Dalton’s hand, "Moreover, I should thank you. If it weren’t for you, how would Hugh be so motivated..."
"The reason he’s working so hard to develop Stardust is, after all, to turn it into a globally recognized entertainment company so as to be worthy of you. So... what are you worried about?"
When Selena Kensington said these things, her voice was gentle, making one involuntarily relax.
Listening to Selena Kensington’s words, Felicity Dalton indeed felt her heart relax along with them.
After Selena Kensington finished speaking, Felicity Dalton remained in a daze for quite a while.
"He... it’s for me?"
Felicity Dalton seemed incredulous to make a sound.
Her hand had already nervously tightened around her skirt.
Seeing her hand’s action, Selena Kensington knew Felicity Dalton was tense.
She smiled, "Yes, for you."
"The Dalton family’s young lady isn’t something just anyone is worthy of. Hugh is used to silently doing everything well without a word, and you’re not great at expressing yourself, so thankfully, love prevails against all odds, or I would really worry about you two."
Selena Kensington’s words seemed to have given Felicity Dalton a powerful tranquilizer.
Gradually, Felicity Dalton calmed down.
