Chapter 429 The Relationships between Men and Women When Raymond returned to the bed, Selena, still in a daze, snuggled up to him, her arm wrapped around his waist. He turned to his side and carefully observed her face the delicate and prominent bridge of her nose, her fine skin, eyelashes not particularly long but thick. Even with her hair cut short, there was an innate sense of meekness when she slept. Unable to resist, he hugged her tightly and kissed her forehead as if he were caring for a white cat. Selena woke up from his caress and, looking at his face, suddenly smiled.
"It must be fake." She referred to the letter she had seen that day; after all, he was lying right beside her.
Selena was dreaming, and after she spoke, she fell back into sleep.
But Raymond felt as if his heart had been firmly struck by her smile, leaving it both sore and tingling.
"What's fake?" Raymond wanted to get to the bottom of it.
Selena half-opened her eyes again, her voice soft.
"You...." The sleepy drawl in her tone caused Raymond's heart to contract sharply.

Alex's analysis suddenly resurfaced in his mind, and upon reflection, many of her actions truly didn't add up. She was a married woman who had tenderly applied medicine to his wounds, who blushed and becshy when having sex.
She also drew him secretly and used to stare at him blankly.
If it wasn't affection, then what was it? Could there be another reason she wouldn't admit out loud? For the first time, Raymond found himself pondering so deeply about the relationships between men and women. He had never felt this way towards Olivia.
It was more a rational assumption that he should treat her well.
Ever since he was young, he was considered a prodigy, successful in everything he did.
But the public favored Christopher Montague more because, as the eldest son and always warm and gentle in dealing with others, he did not exhibit Raymond's indifference. Deep down, Raymond also wanted to compete with this brother.
Not for anything else but pride, especially since Raymond had always been praised.
Raymond knew his brother well. Although Christopher also had a good rapport with women, deep down, he wasn't too fond of talking with the opposite sex and preferred researching. Yet Christopher showed an unusual interest in Olivia, giving her extra attention.
For sreason, Raymond felt that his brother must like Olivia.
So when Olivia confessed to him and asked if they should start dating, he somewhat impulsively agreed.
And thus, Olivia bechis girlfriend.
Looking back now, he considered the act rather juvenile.
It was just... not wanting to lose.
That's all it was.
But having involved Olivia, it was only right to treat her well.

She must like him, right? Perhaps she simply wouldn't admit it due to sreason, holding on to her pride.
He hugged her tightly and gently nuzzled her neck.
Selena didn't wake up, sleeping heavily.
When she woke up, all she felt was sore and achy; every tshe slept with Raymond, it was bound to end this way. And last night he had obviously restrained himself.
Energized as hell.
At the moment Raymond was no longer at the hotel, the painting had been put away, and there was a check for thirty million dollars on the coffee table.
Selena's mood instantly improved; earning seventy million in a single day made Raymond quite an om exceptional patron. Disregarding his status as her husband, she had to admit that he was actually not bad at all.
