Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 181 Caught in the Act

Grace is not the one in charge here.

Carter is thinking about how to make Lillian avoid tomorrow, but because Lillian's family is not wealthy, she has always been cautious and sensitive when she is with him. If Liliian says something wrong, he is afraid that she will overthink it. Carter thought and thought, but couldn't come up with a good solution.

The next day came in the blink of an eye.

When Selena woke up from the couch, the fever had subsided, but her throat still felt uncomfortable.

She got up and made herself a cup of warm water, thinking about what happened last night. She couldn't help but sigh. Has her luck been bad this year?

She also thought about Grace. She didn't have a chance to visit her last night, so she must visit her today.

But just as she picked up the cup, the doorbell rang and it was Lillian.

Lillian brought a light breakfast and seeing that Selena's complexion was not as bad, she felt relieved.

"You had a high fever last night. This is the porridge I stewed this morning. Have some."

While saying this, Lillian looked around.

Last night, she mentioned to Mr. Montague that Selena's husband was always out early and came back late, but in fact, Lillian had never seen this husband.

"Selena, is your husband very busy with work? You had such a high fever last night, and he didn't come to take care of you."

Selena felt that she needed to resolve the matter of her husband as soon as possible. At least she had to replace a man to show up in front of these people. She couldn't let them keep asking. Sooner or later, the truth would be exposed. Shelley should be able to handle this matter. With her extensive connections, she must know some reliable men.

"His work requires frequent business trips."

Lillian didn't say much either and just instructed her to drink the porridge.

Selena thanked her and had just picked up the bowl when Lillian's phone rang. Seeing her charming appearance, Selena knew that it was Carter calling.

Carter said he had prepared a surprise for Lillian and asked her to go out now.

But Carter never called Lillian back last night and so she was still a bit angry. Now, she was also acting a bit spoiled. However, upon hearing about the surprise, her eyes lit up and she left the room happily.

Not long after Lillian left, Selena planned to wash the bowl and give it back to her, but then the doorbell rang again.

She thought it was Lillian and went to open the door.

But when she saw Carter and Grace standing outside, her scalp tingled and she was completely speechless, not knowing what to say.

Grace was feeling better and when she saw Selena's pale face, she took her hand with concern.

"Selena, were you frightened by what happened yesterday? Carter doesn't know how to comfort people, so I brought him here to see you."

Selena's gaze landed on Carter, who blinked his eyes.

Selena had no idea what Carter was signaling about.

Carter already knew about her married status, didn't he ever think that he might encounter her husband when he came to her home?

Carter is also taking a gamble here, fortunately, Selena's husband is not here.

He has no say in Grace's place. When he brought Selena before Grace, how long has it been since then? He has already changed girlfriends, and it is likely that Grace will send him to the Montague family for training again. Carter escaped from the Montague family because of Selena, and now he definitely doesn't want to be thrown back in.

So he can only act for now, and wait for a suitable opportunity to confess to his mother.

Although Grace is part of the elite circle in New York, she shows no arrogance. When she looks at Selena, it's like she's looking at a junior.

She is indeed very satisfied with Selena, and knowing that Selena is not welcomed at home makes her even more sympathetic.

She grabs Selena's hand, and then grabs Carter's hand, patting them contentedly.

"Carter, you too, be good to Selena. Your mind is not mature yet, and you need someone to guide you."

Before she finished speaking, the elevator doors opened, but the three of them were lost in their own thoughts and didn't notice.

Only when they hear the sound of the elevator doors closing do they look up and see a shocked Lillian.
