Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 899 Her Affection Was Too Restrained

Since the living room door was still shut, Raymond could only catch Alex's voice and had no clue Alex had Brenda tagging along. The servants, having seen him tangled up with Selena earlier, had wisely bailed. Now, Raymond had to open the door himself.

As soon as he cracked the door open, there was Brenda standing outside.

Brenda had clearly dolled up, looking even more like Selena this time. But it was all just makeup.

Brenda, who hung out at Sky Gallery, hadn't picked up much else but had become a pro at makeup.

The moment Raymond saw her, his face darkened, and he immediately tried to shut the door.

Alex stuck his hand out to block the door, "What's the deal today? No one's around. I saw the bodyguards at the gate calling workers to bring in a new door. If folks see this, rumors about you getting robbed will be all over the place." Alex shamelessly pushed the door open with his body.

Brenda, blushing, looked at Raymond. "Mr. Montague, I..."

But as she lifted her gaze, she saw Selena chilling on the couch, and her face immediately soured. 'How's this chick here? Isn't she supposed to be in trouble? Even if she isn't dead, she should be in the hospital right now.' Brenda's hand slowly clenched at her side, but she had learned her lesson this time. She couldn't be reckless anymore, or Raymond would only despise her more.

Brenda said shyly, "Mr. Montague, I brought you a gift."

Although it was bought with Raymond's money, she had put thought into choosing it.

Alex, seeing Selena, raised an eyebrow and instantly knew who had caused the mess at Manston Manor.

Having known Raymond for so many years, he knew that Raymond was actually a vengeful person, ruthless and merciless in business. Only Selena could make him suffer a big loss and still remain silent.

Alex realized Raymond was serious, which was why he had been giving bad advice lately. He just wanted to prevent Raymond from getting too deeply involved.

Raymond liked Selena. But Selena was overly calm; she didn't like Raymond at all.

Even if she did, her affection was too restrained.

In love, no one could remain rational.

If someone could, it meant they didn't love the other person enough.

Like Raymond, who was willing to give up ten percent of the shares and the position of CEO of the Montague Group for Selena-that was his irrationality.

The two were not equal in their feelings, and the one who gave more would only become more irrational in the future.

Realizing this, Alex started to stir things up, "Oh, it's Penny."

Selena showed no expression when she saw the two of them.

But when her gaze fell on Brenda, there was a hint of self-mockery.

Ronald was still in the hospital, yet the culprit had come to Manston Manor, looking as if nothing had happened.

Selena felt disgusted.

Brenda, seemingly trying to show off, placed the gift she had brought on the cabinet by the entrance, acting very much like the hostess.

Raymond, already feeling guilty, spoke coldly when he saw Brenda at the door, "Get out." He was even rude to Alex.

Alex laughed and walked straight into the hall, "Come on, I just brought Brenda to see you. It's not right for her to keep waiting at the gate, is it? I heard she waited all night the other night just to see you." Brenda thought Alex was backing her up, so she no longer held back and tried to take Raymond's arm.

But Raymond, exuding a bone-chilling coldness, curled his lips in undisguised mockery, "I told you not to see me again."

Raymond thought, 'Am I too lenient, making Brenda more and more presumptuous each time?'

Brenda didn't expect him to be so blunt, and her face turned pale. "Mr. Montague..."

"Get out." Raymond grabbed her arm, trying to push her out.

However, Brenda shouted at that moment, "I'm pregnant!"

With that one sentence, the atmosphere in the room became incredibly tense.
