Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 832 That Person Is the Source of Her Rebellion

Selena yanked her hand away, 'cause someone had fed her that same line before.

He'd said, "Selena, from now on, I'll only be good to you."

And what happened?

The only time Selena ever went against the grain was when she wanted to date back then.

That guy was the reason for her rebellion, slowly seeping into her youth over time.

Now Raymond was saying the same thing, and she got this weird sense of déjà vu. She instinctively glanced around.

"Mr. Montague, it's getting late. You should head home."

Rejected.

Raymond just shrugged, lit a cigarette, and looked down. "Yeah, I'll finish this smoke first."

Selena didn't say anything else and quickly walked into the hospital.

As she was about to go through the main door, she turned back to look at him again.

He was leaning against the car, standing in just the right spot, half in the light and half in the shadows, with a small glowing ember at the tip of his cigarette. He looked up at her.

Afraid of being noticed, Selena quickly turned her head and walked inside.

Inside Ronald's hospital room, Sophia had been crying for two hours.

"Ronald, it's all my fault. I'm sorry," Sophia said.

Ronald's hand was in a cast; it had been broken when he was brought in.

Sophia started crying as soon as she entered the hospital, making his head hurt.

"It's nothing," Ronald said.

"How can it be nothing? It's all my fault. I shouldn't have hit that woman. I heard she has a powerful background." Sophia sat on the hospital bed and couldn't help but throw herself into Ronald's arms. Ronald stiffened all over because he could feel her soft parts rubbing against his arm.

But she was still crying, so it probably wasn't intentional.

She had indeed grown up, and they really should be careful to avoid any appearance of impropriety.

He firmly pushed her away, frowning. "Sophia, Ms. Fair will handle this matter. I am your elder and of the opposite sex. Don't get so close to me. We are not related by blood, and if outsiders replace out, there will inevitably be gossip." Sophia had taken the opportunity to secretly feel his chest muscles when she threw herself into his arms.

Ronald looked proper and upright, but his chest muscles were surprisingly well-developed.

She suddenly remembered the accidental glimpse she had in her sophomore year, and her cheeks instantly turned red.

When Selena pushed the door open and came in, Sophia finally composed herself and sat obediently on the chair.

Before coming in, Selena had already asked the doctor and knew that Ronald's hand just needed rest, so she was relieved.

"What happened? Were those people thugs?" Selena asked.

Ronald replied, "Yes, but they seemed to target me specifically."

Selena turned to Sophia and said, "Sophia, tell me what happened with the fight at school."

Sophia's face turned pale, and she lowered her head without speaking.

After a long time, she finally spoke softly, "My family used to be in debt, right? When my parents had their accident, our house was auctioned off to barely pay off the debt. On the day of the fight, I happened to run into a former creditor. He said that my dad had planned to give my mom to him to play with, to offset a debt of six hundred thousand dollars, but they had a car accident on the way. I didn't believe it because my parents had a good relationship. I argued with him, and he said he and several friends had played with my mom, calling her a prostitute."

The room was very quiet, and Sophia's tone was slow. "So I fought with him, and the school expelled me."

After speaking, she turned to Ronald and asked, "Ronald, you've lived next door to us for so long. Do you think my mom is that kind of person?"

Ronald didn't speak. He initially wasn't in the talent management business but in venture capital, and he was neighbors with Sophia's family back then.

The building had four floors, with two apartments per floor, and they lived on the same floor.

One day, he came home very late, around one in the morning, and took the elevator upstairs.

He happened to run into Sophia's mother, Maria Diaz, who hugged him in the elevator, saying her husband wasn't good in bed and asked if he wanted to try. After pushing Maria away, he said nothing and opened his own door.

At that moment, Maria called out to him.

"Don't tell Sophia about this. She's simple-minded and innocent. I'm afraid she'll make a fuss," she said.

At that time, Sophia loved to cling to him.

A fifteen-year-old girl, just at the age of first love, could easily develop feelings for a good-looking person of the opposite sex.

But Ronald was born for work, emotionless and desireless, completely unaware of her feelings.
