Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 565 Instant Softening

Selena's cheek turned to the side, her unpainted fingernails tightly gripping the sofa beneath her.

The hem of this dress was quite grand, reaching only to the ankles when standing, but when sitting down, the hem would touch the floor. Raymond was about to pull down the fabric above her when the door was pushed open.

Startled, Selena sat up from the sofa and pushed Raymond down, enveloping him entirely with her skirt.

In just a few seconds, Raymond hadn't reacted yet.

Two A-list celebrities came in, chatting and laughing, discussing the antics of the wealthy young heirs tonight.

Seeing someone inside, they didn't replace it surprising, nodding as a form of greeting.

Selena's tense back was covered in sweat as she watched them move towards the long makeup table.

They were still gossiping.

"So they said that Olivia has always been faking relationships."

"My friend said that Mr. Montague distanced himself on the spot, took his designer away, and no one knows where they went."

"Mr. Montague, he got married, right?"

"It's a family alliance."

As they touched up their makeup, they continued gossiping.

They had no idea that the Mr. Montague they were talking about was currently being held down by Selena's skirt, preventing him from getting up.

Selena's skirt was so large that it completely covered him, only noticeable upon closer inspection.

But how could the two in the room possibly notice?

Selena's palms were sweaty, and before she knew it, she felt Raymond's kiss approaching.

She froze, her mind exploding with a burst of sparks, wanting to scream.

With two A-list female celebrities right here, and she was less than 30 feet away.

Selena's eyes were tinged with redness, but she dared not say anything, only gripping the sofa tighter.

These seven minutes were the longest she had ever experienced in her life.

She couldn't make out what the two were saying, feeling like a tsunami was happening in her mind.

The two female celebrities said a few words to her, but her vision was filled with a white light, and she couldn't hear clearly.

After they left and the door closed, she panicked and retreated, even stumbling.

Raymond adjusted his expensive suit and pulled her up. He asked, "Can you still walk?"

She remained silent.

Raymond released her, and the next moment, she weakly knelt down.

Raymond pulled her back into his arms, and then he saw tears streaming down her face before she finally choked out.

She cursed, "You're shameless, despicable!"

Raymond was left tingling all over from the scolding.

In his presence, her quick wit seemed to have vanished.

"You held it in for so long just to say that?" Raymond retorted.

Selena was trembling all over, that jerk!!

Without hesitation, Selena raised her hand to slap him.

Raymond caught her wrist, "Who trapped me with a skirt? Isn't this an invitation?"

Raymond squinted his eyes, a cold smirk playing on his lips.

He teased, "So your husband is useless. That's enough to make you weak in the knees."

Selena's chest heaved violently as she pushed him away.

Raymond stepped back a few paces, seeing her trembling legs and red-rimmed eyes as she leaned against a nearby cabinet. His heart momentarily softened. "What floor is your room on?" He asked.

Ignoring him, Selena closed her eyes for a moment before slowly making her way to the door.

Raymond didn't pursue her, just cautioned, "Walk steadily."

Selena cursed in her mind, 'You bastard!'
