Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 129 The Night Best for Ambiguity

Alex was a screenwriter, best at grabbing a small detail and expanding his thoughts from there. But tonight, he had guessed correctly. Raymond and Selena were in the same room. Although they weren't on the bed, for Raymond, this was already an exception. Moreover, when he turned into the room, he saw Selena revealing large patches of skin on her neck. Any woman wearing a man's clothes would have a different kind of charm. Especially in the night, which was best for ambiguity. Raymond frowned and went straight to the master bedroom. He felt that the shower he just took wasn't right, he should take a cold shower. At the same time, he felt increasingly annoyed, who would sleep in a male client's room without any guard. Was it just his overthinking, or did Selena herself have ulterior motives?

Raymond's gaze fell on a blanket on the bed, and thinking that she had the suit draped over her, he bent down and picked it up, returning to the living room, loosely covering her with it. During this process, he didn't look at her face and intentionally created distance between them.

After doing all this, he no longer cared and went back to the master bedroom to lie down on the bed.

When he didn't have to work overtime, he was disciplined and would rest by ten o'clock. But when he did have to work overtime for days and nights, he wouldn't feel tired.

Just as his eyes closed, he heard a sound from the living room, like something being kicked. He deliberately ignored it, blocked out the other person, and fell asleep.

Selena woke up in the middle of the night because of the pain in her foot. She frowned and first rubbed her eyes in confusion.

When she remembered where she was, she quickly stood up.

Because her legs had been curled up for so long, they had already gone numb. In addition, her ankle was still not healed, so when she moved like this, her whole body lunged towards the coffee table.

The glass coffee table was knocked over directly, and the thermos on top, along with a few glass cups, all shattered. Such a loud sound, Raymond couldn't possibly not wake up.

With a cold face, he haphazardly tied the belt of his robe, and then opened the door to the master bedroom.

Selena was trying to struggle and get up from the ground, but as soon as she raised her head, she saw Raymond standing there, his face as black as coal. She knew she was in the wrong, and didn't care about the pain.

"Mr. Montague, I'm sorry..."

Raymond looked at the broken glass all over the floor, and then glanced at her exposed palm and ankle, which weren't cut.

Raymond couldn't quite understand why, when it came to Selena, he always seemed to encounter the most bizarre things. He raised his hand and rubbed his temples, feeling a throbbing sensation.

After getting up, Selena felt so embarrassed that she wished she could replace a place to hide. Why did she keep embarrassing herself in front of Raymond.

Why did she fall asleep in the hotel room?

Raymond didn't kick her out, which showed how good his manners were. Perhaps in his eyes, she wasn't much different from those random women crawling into bed, Selena sighed.

The other things were secondary; the important thing was not to make the client unhappy. It would be troublesome to cancel the contract in anger. Although Raymond's project was no longer necessary, she had never had a client cancel on her since she started working.

Moreover, it was Raymond, and if the contract was cancelled because of this incident, it would be really embarrassing.

"Mr. Montague, please go back to rest. I'll clean up the broken glass and leave."

Raymond looked at her, and from her lowered eyelashes, he sensed a hint of exhaustion, which made him inexplicably soft-hearted.

"Did you encounter trouble in Ridgefield?"

Selena was taken aback. On such a night, being cared for by someone made her eyes go red.

"It's already been resolved. I'm just too tired. I'm really sorry."

After being cried on by her uncle and aunt all night, and not getting a moment's rest, coupled with the annoyance of her useless cousin Jacob, her head was buzzing on the drive back. Raymond didn't want to argue with her any further, so he turned around and left a comment.

"No need to clean up, just sleep until morning and leave."
