Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 675 Raymond's Heart Ached

Raymond stood there, watching helplessly as Selena and Austin walked in together.

The ticket inspector nearby noticed his displeasure but kept smiling and avoided eye contact. Raymond stepped back and bumped into Carter, who was there with Lillian to watch a movie.

Carter couldn't believe his eyes. "Raymond?" he called out, rubbing his eyes.

It was indeed Raymond.

Raymond glanced at Carter's movie ticket, which was next to Selena's seat. He quickly grabbed one and handed it to the ticket inspector.

Carter was confused. He only had two tickets, and the show was sold out. Raymond couldn't watch the movie with his girlfriend.

Thinking fast, Carter let go of Lillian's hand. "Lillian, why don't you check out those bags downstairs? I want to watch this movie with my cousin Raymond." Lillian was annoyed but agreed, thinking about the expensive bag Carter promised her and Raymond's status.

Carter handed his other ticket to the inspector and hurried after Raymond. "Raymond, wait up."

The ticket inspector watched them leave, then looked at the bewildered Lillian and sighed. "What a strange world."

Raymond found the theater entrance and quickly spotted Selena inside. The lights had dimmed, and he sat next to her.

Selena, holding a bucket of popcorn, didn't notice him. She was waiting for the movie to start.

Carter saw Selena and knew things were about to get complicated.

The theater went dark, and the movie began. Raymond wasn't paying much attention, distracted by Selena and Austin whispering beside him. Halfway through, Selena felt a hand on her leg. She thought it was Austin's. After a few times, she followed the hand and saw it was Raymond. Selena's hand shook, spilling some popcorn, and her expression shifted.

Raymond raised an eyebrow, seeing her eyes widen in anger. He leaned in and whispered, "Besides messing around with men, what else can you do?"

'She'll be happy with anyone,' Raymond thought, 'A Richard, a Caterlington, any random guy.'

Selena found it both infuriating and amusing, so she turned back to the screen. It was showing an intense kissing scene, Austin's first on-screen kiss, which was a big selling point for the movie. Couples around them started kissing boldly. Selena was about to lean over and compliment Austin when Raymond grabbed her arm, looking nervous. "You want to kiss him?"

Selena almost threw the popcorn at him. She couldn't sit still any longer, stood up, told Austin she was going to the restroom, and walked out. Raymond followed her.

In the bright hallway, she took a deep breath and softened her tone. "Mr. Montague, what do you want?"

Raymond looked confused. "Why are you angry? Shouldn't I be the one who's angry?"

Selena found it amusing and didn't know how to respond. She decided to reason with him. "Mr. Montague, what is our relationship?" Raymond was silent.

Selena continued, "Even if we had a fling, it's over. I'm not your secretary anymore. You don't need to control me. Messing around with men is my business, not yours." She hoped Raymond would leave her alone. He fell silent, and as she was about to re-enter the theater, he grabbed her.

"You think I want to be angry with you?" His voice was hoarse, and confusion flashed in his eyes. "I don't even know what's going on."

Selena shook off his hand. "Mr. Montague, if something's wrong, replace another woman. Just don't come to me. Seeing you ruins my mood." Raymond's heart ached, and he pressed his lips together, eyes filled with gloom. This time, when Selena went back in, he didn't stop her. He stood there for a while, then saw Carter sneaking out from the side. "Raymond, want to grab a drink?"

Carter didn't dare admit he had just seen Raymond get dumped and heard some harsh words.
