Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 285 Mr. Montague Fears Miss Stone's Jealousy

Neither of them spoke, and Selena stayed in that position, trying her best to remain calm.

Raymond crossed his long and slender fingers, rubbing and cleaning the foam from his hands. Afterward, he took a tissue from the side and meticulously wiped his fingertips. Though this process took less than a minute, Selena felt as if it had lasted for a century.

Raymond tossed the used tissue into the nearby trash can and chuckled when he saw her pretending to be composed.

"Am I that terrifying?"

Normally, she could speak eloquently, but now she was too scared to utter a word.

They had reached this point in the conversation, and Selena couldn't avoid responding. She had to look up at him.

"You are my boss, my employer, so, of course, I am afraid."

Raymond glanced at the visible marks behind her ears that were not fully covered. Apparently, no one had reminded her as she rushed here.

"Were you happy with your dinner with your husband?"

Seeing her in this state, wasn't there any conflict with your husband?

Selena's mind quickly worked, "Max had an incident tonight, and Lucas was busy as well, so I didn't go."

Raymond nodded and left when he heard Olivia's voice from outside.

Selena stood in place, inexplicably relieved. Just as she was about to grab a nearby tissue to wipe her fingertips, Raymond returned, leaning slightly towards her ear, his voice flowing like water against rocks. "Let's forget about what happened two hours ago."

Selena stiffened, but then her eyes filled with relief, as if to say, "Nothing could be better."

Now she completely breathed a sigh of relief and their interaction became more natural.

"I understand. You're afraid Miss Stone will get jealous. Don't worry, I will keep it a secret." she assured him.

Raymond stood in front of her, looking down at her visibly relieved expression, his gaze turning cold and somewhat chilly.

"At least you have some sense."

Selena felt like he was mocking her, but why? It seemed like she hadn't done anything to provoke him.

She furrowed her brow, about to ask him, but he had already disappeared, and Olivia's voice came from outside.

"Raymond, let's go. Can you drive me home? I've been so worried tonight."

From some distance away, Selena heard him respond, "OK."

Inexplicably, she lowered her head and glanced at the back of her hand, unable to resist rubbing it, as if the foam from before was still there.

Raymond drove Olivia home, with Olivia sitting in the passenger seat, holding a docile plush toy in her arms. The toy had been dealt with by a doctor and was a bit weakened.

As they passed a traffic light, Raymond's gaze drifted towards a hotel next to them. Standing at the hotel entrance were Lucas and his female colleague.

The colleague held him tightly, and Lucas clearly showed no intention of refusing as the two of them walked in, leaning on each other.

From afar, through the bright lobby, he saw Lucas plant a kiss on the woman's face. The woman then playfully hit his shoulder as they continued their flirtatious banter and entered the elevator. He couldn't see them any further, but his lips tightened slightly, recalling Selena's earlier words.

"...since he's also busy..."

It was indeed quite busy.

Once the traffic light changed, he calmly pressed on the gas pedal.

Olivia's voice came from beside him.

"Raymond, when should I go and meet your wife?"

Raymond's brow furrowed at the secret thoughts in his heart.

"Why do you want to see her?"

"Just out of curiosity, I want to know what kind of woman Grandfather values."

"I signed a contract with her. Once Grandfather's health improves, we will get a divorce."

Olivia stiffened and a great delight surged in her eyes!
