Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 171 Being Too Naive Can Also Lead to Trouble

After inviting Lillian inside, out of courtesy, Selena went to fetch water for her.

Visitors have come to the door of the house before, but after Selena rearranged the inside, it had changed, and Max obediently sat nearby, occasionally wagging her tail, looking very well-behaved.

Lillian really liked Max. Before chatting with Selena, she went to her own place and brought some jerky for Max to chew on.

"Selena, you also know that Carter comes from a wealthy family. Many people said that I would be dumped by him soon because I'm just a receptionist. We met when he worked at the Montague family for a few days." It should have been the two days when Raymond forced me to go to the Montague family to gain experience.

At a time like that, Carter still didn't forget how to make moves on people.

Selena had witnessed Carter's entanglement with an ex before. The ex was an attractive beauty, but Lillian belonged to the pure and precious type. Clearly, Carter changed his preferences quickly this time.

Not to mention, Carter has been mingling in the pleasure-seeking world for a long time, probably having seen all kinds of beautiful women. It's normal for Lillian to feel insecure.

"And I heard that his mother has never really liked the women by his side. I met Ms. Montague once before. She has a strong presence."

Women are naturally sensitive in this regard, and Lillian sensed immediately that Carter's mother is not easy to get along with and is very strict with him.

Supposedly, several past girlfriends broke up with him because of his mother, but those girlfriends were not all that great either.

Selena is not interested in other people's conversations, but Lillian now considers her as a friend and has the attitude of confiding in her, so she can't be too blunt or heartless words.

"In fact, Ms. Montague is easy to get along with. She probably formed a preconceived impression after seeing Mr. Ashford's previous girlfriends, thinking that anyone by Mr. Ashford's side is not a good person. As long as Ms. Montague knows your virtues, she won't stop you from being with Mr. Ashford."

Lillian didn't question Selena constantly referring to him as Mr. Ashford. After all, Selena is an interior designer, and Carter said he would entrust her with the design of several properties.

Moreover, Lillian already has a preconceived notion that Selena is Carter's friend, so she believes her even more.

Besides, Selena is already married, so she doesn't pose any threat.

Although Carter is a flirt, he always listens to everyone.

He knows you can never touch someone else's wife.

Selena saw that Lillian had already fallen into thought, so she continued to comfort her.

"Ms. Montague, as a woman, will not be too harsh on other women."

Even Carter's friends said the same thing, so Lillian was completely reassured.

She was younger than Selena, only in her twenties, and ordinary girls at this age were still in college.

But she had started working early, and it seemed that her family was not doing well.

If she could really be with Carter, it would also be a good thing.

After sending Lillian away, Selena sat alone in the room and breathed a sigh of relief.

This was just a small episode with Lillian, but she was still thinking about the awkward scene just now.

At least she managed to get the photo. It was a very atmospheric photo. For someone who loves painting, it didn't matter if she embarrassed herself a little, especially if she could capture good material. Anyway, Raymond didn't care about her.

Selena immediately started painting, using only black and white, and painted the scene just now based on the photo on her phone.

Raymond naturally exuded an elegant aura, and with such an atmosphere, he looked like a nobleman in the dark night.

Selena finished the painting in less than an hour and put it by the floor-to-ceiling window to dry.

Just as she was about to order supper, Lillian arrived at her door with the supper she made herself, saying it was a thank you for Selena.

"Selena, I made it light, knowing that you're busy and always skipping meals. You might get a stomachache. Try it?"

Lillian was a good-hearted person, very pure in her thoughts, but sometimes being too pure could lead to trouble.

At that this moment, she went to feed Max and happened to see the painting by the floor-to-ceiling window, knowing it was painted by Selena, so she took a photo with her phone.

She didn't expect Selena, an interior designer, to be so skilled at drawing people.

She had just started dating Carter, and they shared everything, so she immediately sent the photo to Carter.
