Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 256 It Doesn't Make Any Sense

Her mind was blank, she didn't even know when Raymond left.

The door in front of her closed, leaving only a faint coolness in the air.

Selena felt like a walking corpse, she lowered her head and saw her home slip dress.

It was too thin, almost transparent under the light.

The protruding dots seemed tempting to pluck.

She almost hurriedly returned to the bedroom in an instant, putting on her coat, but the heat in her body didn't subside.

This time, Selena truly experienced what it felt like to be embarrassed and ashamed.

No wonder Raymond would think like that, no woman would wear this kind of clothes, have casual conversations in front of him, and even take the initiative to see someone off. She covered her face and recalled Raymond's words.

"I've always suspected that you were intentionally tempting me."

Always suspected.

Selena also remembered in Ridgefield, when she wrapped a towel around herself to apply medicine on him.

With all these things combined, if it were an ordinary man, he would have made a move on purpose a long time ago.

Now, even her toes turned red, and she curled up in embarrassment, wishing she could just jump off this hotel.

Even the spot around her waist that was just held by Raymond seemed to be stained with something, penetrating into her pores and randomly wandering in her body without reason. "Ah."

She sighed, took out her phone and checked it, only to replace that her aunt had sent several messages apologizing.

The ambiguous atmosphere had completely dissipated because of this.

She didn't read the content inside, and just deleted the text messages directly.

Selena sat back on the sofa, slowly ate a few more bites, made sure her stomach was comfortable, then changed her clothes and planned to go to the hospital.

She had been in the hospital for four more days, and the doctor finally informed her that James had been transferred to a regular ward.

Selena didn't have time for anything else, and she hadn't seen Raymond in these four days. The incident from that night was gradually being forgotten.

This time, Shelley went to the hospital with her, and Shelley's two bodyguards had been guarding at the hospital.

Shelley held Selena's arm.

"Don't worry, I made sure they are keeping a close watch, no one can go in."

Selena nodded, her menstrual period was over, and she had regained her energy.

Shelley had the nanny at home make soup for her, "to nourish your vitality. Because of Raymond, you're even afraid to go back to Ashbourne Manor. Otherwise, the people there could make you soup. Why are you so scared of him?" Selena felt embarrassed to mention what happened that night. When the two entered the lobby, they saw Philip standing not far away.

Philip was holding a bouquet of flowers, sniffing them with a gentle expression.

In Shelley's heart, Philip had always been a clean and pure boy.

Shelley happily bumped Selena's shoulder.

"It's still my sensible Philip who came after me with flowers." Shelley ran over excitedly and hugged Philip's waist tightly.

"Philip!" The flowers in Philip's hands fell to the ground as he turned and embraced Shelley, his eyes full of surprise. "I was looking for you on the first floor just now, but couldn't replace you."

Shelley smiled playfully, looking up at Philip. "Didn't I tell you that I came with Selena? We didn't arrive this early. Why did you buy flowers? It's a waste of money."

Philip worked multiple jobs and lived frugally, but he never held back when it came to Shelley. Shelley felt a bit guilty and often thought about just telling him the truth.

"This bouquet must have cost two hundred, right? With this money, we could have had a nice meal together."

Shelley picked up the flowers from the ground, not noticing the complexity that flashed in Philip's eyes.

Meanwhile, Selena watched the couple holding the flowers from a distance, replaceing it quite amusing. Is Shelley really planning to be with this poor boy, Philip, for the rest of her life? If Mr. Harper found out, he would probably strongly oppose their relationship.

Shelley pulled Philip closer, holding the flowers in her arms, and her smile was even more delicate than the flowers. Only when she's with Philip does she behave like this; she's usually more laid-back.

"Selena, let's go upstairs together with Philip and check it out."

Selena had no reason to refuse, so the three of them entered the elevator together.

Inside the elevator, Philip messaged Lucas Den, asking him to buy another bouquet of flowers and deliver it to that ward.
