Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 96 Is it a playing hard to get?

"Do you want to call the people at Ashbourne Manor?" "Go ahead."

His tone was indifferent, feeling inexplicably annoyed about meeting Selena soon. He had always been a punctual person, but the other party had stood him up twice in a row. It was truly lacking in manners.

John took out his phone and called Ashbourne Manor. When Fiona received the phone call, she was startled. Mr. Montague was coming tonight?

After hanging up, she hurriedly had someone hide Max in the back room, and then had every corner of the room disinfected to ensure that not a single dog hair was left behind. The maids were efficient and sanitized every day, so they completed the task in less than half an hour.

Fiona breathed a sigh of relief, but then remembered that Selena had not returned and wondered whether she should call and inform her.

Just as she took out her phone, she heard the sound of a car engine outside. She quickly went out and saw an unfamiliar car. It was a black Maybach.

Mr. Montague had arrived!

Fiona quickly put down her phone and went to greet him.

"Mr. Montague."

Although Raymond had some reservations about everything related to Ashbourne Manor, he didn't vent his frustration on unrelated people, so he simply nodded. Fiona's attitude became even more respectful.

"Mrs. Montague has already had someone send Mr. Montague's belongings, and she has also instructed the chef according to your taste. If there is anything you are not used to, please let me know. I am the caretaker left behind by the old master to take care of Miss Fair."

Raymond's gaze fell on her, but he didn't say anything unnecessary. Fiona could sense his coldness and quickly led him to the master bedroom.

"Mr. Montague, this is your room, and the one at the end of the corridor is Miss Fair's."

Raymond's gaze landed on the end of the corridor. It was indeed quite a distance, without disturbing each other. It was fine. He pushed the door open and walked in. Fiona stood at the door, waiting for it to close before she finally relaxed. Mr. Montague had a strong presence, and he looked very aloof. This was the first time he had come to Ashbourne Manor in three years. Fiona didn't know if he would get along peacefully with Miss Fair.

Because she had been in a hurry to have the maids clean up the dog hair in the villa, Fiona forgot to call Selena in time. At this moment, Selena had already arrived at the front gate.

Today, she was tired due to her father's affairs. Upon entering, she didn't see Fiona and went straight for the door and went to her own bedroom.

She didn't know if it was her imagination, but she felt that there was a hint of a stranger's presence in the villa tonight, and it was filled with a chilling feeling. Just as she finished washing up, Fiona's voice came from outside. "Miss Fair, the hot milk is ready."

Selena opened the door slightly and heard Fiona say, "I also prepared a serving for Mr. Montague, I'll bring it to him later."

Selena's palm instantly stiffened, thinking that she was having auditory hallucinations. "Raymond is here?"

Because she was too surprised, she directly called out the other person's name. Only then did Fiona remember that she had been busy commanding the servants and forgot to tell Selena about this, so she nodded. "Mr. Montague is in the master bedroom now, does Miss Fair want to go and see him?"

Selena quickly handed the milk over, "Fiona, call me after he leaves tomorrow morning, I won't go down for breakfast."

Fiona wasn't a fool and realized that Selena was avoiding Raymond. She didn't understand why and didn't want to ask too much, "Alright, Miss Fair, rest early then." Selena closed the door and felt her heart racing.

It wasn't excitement, but the worry that Raymond would soon uncover the truth. Fortunately, she didn't bump into him when she came back, otherwise that would have been embarrassing.

She finished the hot milk and thought that she should go to the old mansion to see her grandfather tomorrow. It was indeed impolite to miss the appointment today. In the master bedroom, there was a knock at Raymond's door, his brow furrowed. Could it be that woman who came back?

He got up to open the door and saw Fiona holding the hot milk.

"Mr. Montague, do you drink this before bed? Because Miss Fair has this habit, so I heated a cup for you too."

"She's back?"

According to reason, his wife who he hadn't seen for three years should have come over to say hello tonight, at the very least. Moreover, she would replace ways to get close to him. "Yeah, Miss Fair is already asleep."

Raymond inexplicably felt a sense of being ignored. He took the milk, said thank you, and closed the door. Was she playing hard to get?
