Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 351 I Got Drunk Last Night

Upon hearing his tone, Selena could tell that he was truly drunk, otherwise why would he ask such a question?

Her mind raced.

"No, the main issue is that it's in the middle of the night, and you came to deliver a dog to me. If my husband replaces out, it will be hard for me to explain," Selena said. As soon as she finished speaking, it became silent on the other end.

Although they were separated by a screen, Selena could still feel the suppression.

Just as she was about to say something else, the call abruptly ended with a "click." Selena was stunned, thinking that he accidentally hung up, so she dialed again.

But Raymond didn't answer.

Not once.

Not twice.

Even Selena, who wasn't the brightest, knew that he was intentionally not answering.

Furrowing her eyebrows, did she say something wrong just now?

In his eyes, she was already a married woman.

Seeing her call twice without receiving an answer, Raymond coldly smirked and looked at Max, who was bold enough to try and sit on the couch. "You're nothing more than that in her heart." Max didn't understand, so he tried to please Raymond by getting closer, but Raymond had already gone upstairs.

Before Raymond returned to the country, Max used to sleep on the couch.

The entire Ashbourne Manor was its nest, so now that Raymond paid it no attention, it simply lay on the couch.

And because Raymond was feeling irritated, he didn't notice the computer and notebook on the coffee table.

Back in his room, as the water droplets cascaded down his chest while standing under the showerhead, he still felt annoyed.

He didn't know if it was the effect of alcohol, but he had the urge to sell this dog.

Husband, husband, all he could think about was her cheating husband.

She should really get her eyes checked, why is she so blind?

Selena made two phone calls, but didn't dare to make another, afraid that Raymond would get angry.

Raymond still hasn't questioned her identity, so it seemed he didn't notice the computer on the coffee table.

Well, he never cared about anything inside Ashbourne Manor anyway.

She sent another message to Fiona, "Fiona, could you please tidy up the computer and notebook on the coffee table and put them in my room?"

Fiona was accustomed to waking up early, just like the staff inside Ashbourne Manor. She would wake up around 5 o'clock.

Raymond woke up at 6 o'clock, so Fiona would certainly arrive in the living room earlier.

Selena breathed a sigh of relief, but at the thought of Max, she felt uneasy.

It wasn't until 5:30 in the morning that Fiona called.

Selena had been awake all night and at this moment, it felt like a lifeline.

"Miss Fair, did Mr. Fair come back last night? But it seems that Max was sleeping on the couch..." Fiona's heart was pounding, not knowing if Raymond encountered Max. Selena took a deep breath and asked, "Did you tidy up my computer and notebook?"

"It has been placed in your room," Fiona said.

"Okay, Fiona, from now on, just pretend you don't know Max. Treat it as a stray dog that came to Ashbourne Manor. Remember, don't admit that it belongs to Ashbourne Manor." Otherwise, everything will be exposed.

Fiona looked towards Selena and nodded. "Alright."

She had heard that Raymond had already met Max and was filled with anxiety. "Miss Fair, is this really okay?"

What if Raymond replaces out about Max?

"Fiona, as long as you don't admit that Ashbourne Manor has a dog, Mr. Montague won't blame you. He's actually a nice person," Selena reassured.

Fiona reluctantly hung up the phone, partly believing Selena's words.

When Raymond came downstairs wearing a suit, breakfast was already prepared on the table.

Max was running circles in the living room.

Raymond saw it and furrowed his brow. "Find something for it to eat. It must be hungry."

Fiona remembered Selena's instructions and began to act. "Sir, I have no idea whose dog this is. I thought you were allergic to dog hair and was planning to throw it out."

Raymond sat at the dining table, his tone indifferent. "Don't throw it out for now. Let's keep it for a few days. Have someone go buy some dog food."

Fiona was delighted to see that he not only didn't blame her but also asked her to buy dog food. Miss Fair was indeed right.

"Okay, sir. How long do you plan to keep it? It probably has an owner," Fiona asked.

"We'll see," Raymond calmly finished his breakfast and went directly to the Montague family's house.

At the doorstep of the Montague family, he met Selena, who had been waiting there. She must have not slept the whole night, with dark circles under her eyes. "Mr. Montague, is Max alright..." Raymond walked past her, his tone casual. "I got drunk last night and saw things wrong. It's not with me."

He was lying.
