Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 233 Just a Kiss

Selena was a bit puzzled. She didn't seem to have done anything to offend him.

After getting into the car, she saw Raymond already busy reviewing some documents. He was dressed in a gray suit, not the one he wore yesterday, but it still suited him perfectly. He was a natural clothes hanger. A ray of sunlight fell on the tip of his brows, giving him a noble and distant demeanor.

Once Selena got into the car, she closed the door.

Outside, Rosalind's voice could be heard, and soon enough, she entered the car with a bag slung over her shoulder.

"Raymond, I also need to go to school. It just so happens that we're going in the same direction, can you give me a ride?"

Raymond looked up from his documents, raised his chin slightly and spoke in a cold voice, "I still have to stay in Ridgefield for a few more days, I'm not going back to New York today."

Rosalind had already gotten into the car at this point and tried to squeeze herself closer to him.

"That's alright, I can go to Ridgefield and have some fun," she said.

It was clear that her intentions were less about the destination.

Selena looked at the two sitting close to each other and couldn't help but replace it amusing, considering her own identity.

But she didn't interfere and just turned her head to look out the window.

The car started.

Once they were inside the car, Rosalind couldn't keep quiet. Seeing Raymond busy with his documents and understanding the situation, she chose not to disturb him and instead bothered Selena. "So you're really married. But you're living in the same car as a man. Isn't your husband jealous?"

Didn't she come here in Raymond's car as well?

"Miss Rosalind, my husband doesn't interfere in my work matters."

"Why would a man not be concerned? Unless he doesn't care that much about you."

After saying this, Rosalind turned to look at Raymond, her admiration for him evident in her eyes.

"Moreover, considering a man like Raymond, your husband should be feeling threatened, right? Why hasn't he called you?"

Rosalind was genuinely gossiping now. Now that she knew this woman was married, her hostility towards Selena disappeared.

After all, someone like Raymond would never blindly pursue a married woman.

Selena smiled charmingly, "In a good marriage, it's important to give each other some space and maintain a sense of mystery."

When Raymond heard these words, his pen stopped for a moment. He couldn't help but recall the scene of her husband expressing affection for someone else in public.

If a marriage required giving each other this kind of space, wouldn't it just be providing an opportunity for a third person?

Rosalind fell silent as well. She didn't have much common ground with a married woman.

Selena pretended to need some rest and leaned back in the back seat, feigning a light nap.

Whether it was her imagination or not, Raymond remained silent the whole way, seeming even more silent than before.

Thinking about last night's sudden kiss, Selena frowned.

Despite not wanting to admit it, under that kind of atmosphere, a tender kiss could easily make someone weak in the knees.

What on earth was he thinking?

But she didn't dare to ask.

He pretended to be deaf and dumb.

Two hours later, the car stopped in the compound, and Selena still had to go and deal with her uncle's affairs, so she bent down to thank Raymond.

"Mr. Montague, thank you."

Raymond glanced at her and said in a calm tone, "Hmm."

There was obvious alienation.

Selena guessed that last night was probably a confusion of emotions between adults, and now that he was sober, he regretted it a bit, so he was eager to distance himself from her. But she really wanted to tell this person that he was overthinking.

It was just a kiss.

However, she couldn't say anything, and then she saw Rosalind getting off the car too, skillfully holding onto Raymond's arm.

"So you live here, then I'll stay here tonight too."

Raymond's eyebrows barely furrowed, but he didn't say anything.

Rosalind looked up, eagerly hoping for Selena to leave quickly.

"If you're leaving, you can go now, goodbye, penny."

She sweetly held onto Raymond's arm, unable to hide the smile on her face.
