Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 620 You Always Need Someone by Your Side

Raymond took two hits, and seeing William still coughing, he immediately patted his back. "Take care of yourself," Raymond said.

William stiffened, planted his cane on the ground, and sighed, "Get out, get out."

He had been angered too many times tonight and was on the verge of passing out.

Raymond started to leave, but William poked his back with the cane.

"About your brother's matter, investigate if you can, but if you can't, let it go. The most important thing is always the living. Your mom and grandma are too biased."

Raymond nodded and repeated, "Grandpa, you should take better care of your health."

William said, "You know why I wanted you to marry Selena? She doesn't have those messy thoughts. With marriage, she'll truly be good to you. You need someone by your side." Otherwise, William wouldn't rest easy, even in death.

Raymond frowned, sensing William was giving his final instructions.

"Grandpa, I need to replace someone I like," Raymond said.

"Does she like you?" William asked casually, watching Raymond fall silent.

After a long pause, Raymond finally said, "I don't even know what liking someone means. No one ever taught me, right?"

From Catherine, he learned madness; from Donovan, obsession; from the military, survival. No one ever taught him what it means to like someone.

William said nothing more, just waved his hand.

When Raymond got back to the car, Selena quietly stepped on the gas.

The atmosphere in the car was tense. Raymond took out a cigarette, wanting to smoke, but put it back when he thought of Selena beside him. "Penny."

At that moment, they hit a red light. Selena responded and turned to look at him.

Raymond asked, "What do you think of my personality?"

He no longer had the desolation he had when he left the villa, with one elbow casually resting on the window frame.

Dominant, overbearing, not gentle with women, vengeful.

These were all things Selena wanted to say, but if she did, she'd get her mouth bitten fiercely later.

"Mr. Montague, you're a good guy."

Raymond knew she was just saying that. Selena seemed compliant, but she was really stubborn.

"Really? What's so good about me?"

"Rich, good-looking," Selena replied.

Those were the obvious perks, but what else?

Selena couldn't think of anything else, so she pretended to focus on driving.

When they got to the hotel, she parked and hit the elevator button.

Raymond pulled her in. "Why rush home? No one's waiting for you there now."

Selena fell into his arms and watched him press the button for their floor.

"Make the bed for me. Later, you have to work overtime with me. Do you think a secretary's job is easy?"

Once in the room, he took off his suit and hung it up, giving her instructions.

"Someone will pick up the clothes later. Make sure to hand them over."

Selena nodded, watching him head into the frosted glass bathroom.

After a bit, he handed out his suit pants.

His hands were still wet, and steam billowed out as the door opened.

Selena was about to take them when he asked, "Can sandalwood get wet?"

Selena didn't know, so she quickly checked her phone.

"Mr. Montague, it can't."

Raymond handed out the bracelet.

Selena took it, folded the suit and pants, put them in a bag, and wiped the bracelet with a tissue.

Ten minutes later, someone knocked on the door. She handed the bag out.

Just as she closed the door, Raymond called from inside, "Grab my clean pajamas from the bedroom closet."

She quickly went to the bedroom, opened the closet, and found it super organized, probably maintained daily by someone. There were several sets of robes, all made of fine materials.

She took a black set and knocked on the bathroom door.

As soon as the door opened, she handed the clothes in, but the next second, Raymond grabbed her wrist and pulled her in.

Hot water poured over her, making it hard to see clearly. She felt surrounded by steam.

Then Raymond kissed her. With the long flow of hot water, the bathroom mirror was covered in a layer of mist.

Selena was pinned against the wall, unable to move, with hot water still pouring over her head. Her lips and tongue were pursued, and in such an environment, she felt her heart pounding uncontrollably. When Selena was almost out of breath, Raymond finally let her go.

Selena opened her eyes and saw his chiseled face, his hair casually pushed back, revealing his handsome features.

"If you don't leave now, I'll make love to you in the bathroom."

Selena's hand trembled, and she immediately walked out, but he added, "Get a new set of pajamas."

She was still tightly holding the pajamas she was supposed to hand him, which were now soaked.
