Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 509 What Makes You Think I Like Her? "Understood," he said, retracting his hand with an air of indifference. "You may leave now." The doctor departed, leaving behind a cloud of confusion. It was evident that this man harbored feelings for the woman in question. Could it be that Raymond Montague, of the esteemed Montague lineage, was unaware of his own affections? But, not daring to overstep his boundaries, the doctor retreated, his heart pounding with apprehension.

Raymond remained seated in the downstairs area, not wanting to venture elsewhere. The prospect of facing Alex or Paul with his swollen face was a surefire way to becthe laughingstock of a lifetime.

He sat there until the break of dawn, his body chilled to the bone, and the fire within him extinguished. Only then did he retreat to the solitude of his room.

Upon opening the door, he was met with silence. He had assumed she had left, having the option to discreetly exit through the underground parking.

However, as he entered the bedroom to change his clothes, he noticed a lump on the bed, causing him to freeze in his tracks. He had stormed out of his room, yet it was this woman who had comfortably spent the night there.

The anger that had just subsided surged back in an instant. He strode forward, intent on yanking off her covers. If she wished to sleep, she could retreat to her own quarters.

But before his hand made contact with the blanket, he halted at the sight of her petite face peeking out, her chin now sharpened from weight loss. After a moment's hesitation, he stood up, turned, and opened the closet to select a suit for the day.

Once dressed, he didn't spare Selena another glance. He grabbed sdocuments from the living room coffee table and made his exit.

John was the one assigned to pick him up. Upon seeing the vivid imprint of five fingers on his cheek, John was taken aback, wondering if Selena was still among the living.

Mr. Montague was a man of deep-seated pride that no one dared challenge, let alone being slapped by a woman. John couldn't help but inquire, his grip on the steering wheel tightening.

"Mr. Montague, is Miss Selena all right?" The mere mention of Selena caused Raymond to feel suffocated. The emotional turmoil within him was torturous, always on the brink of explosion. "Not good, go prepare a coffin for her," he retorted.

John pursed his lips, sharing the ssentiment.

Raymond leaned back and closed his eyes.

"Let her sleep. Later, have the hotel deliver slight food to her room." John glanced in the rear-view mirror and couldn't resist suggesting.

"If Mr. Montague truly has a penchant for Miss Selena, perhaps he could approach her through understanding her family background." At the mention of affection, Raymond could only scoff.

"Which eye of yours saw that I like her?" After being so bluntly put down, John didn't dare to say more.

He was only responsible for executing Raymond's orders, ready to investigate if commanded, but it seemed Raymond was oblivious to his particular attention to Selena, so John refrained from acting rashly. Raymond glanced upstairs, only to feel annoyed.

And the thought of her crying was actually painful.

The doctor had mentioned it was a stagnation of blood and qi. He lowered his eyelashes, trying to calm his emotions.

"Head to the office." John pressed the gas pedal without delay.

Upstairs, Selena received a call from Alex.

"Selena, when is the money coming through?" She rubbed her eyes, suddenly remembering her commitment to invest in Alex's TV show, and quickly got up.

"I'll have the bank transfer it to you right away." Alex just chuckled.

"Did you have a good night?" Since Raymond had hung up on him, Alex assumed his hunch was right.

This woman was living off Raymond's dto fund her lover, and she was still alive? Selena ignored the question and simply reminded him.

"Mr. Alex, the male lead in Austin won't change again, right?"

Alex was pleased to see Raymond entangled with a woman, especially in such a scandal, so he premised on the spot "It won't change again, even if Raymond asksto switch actors, I won't do it." Selena sighed with relief and sincerely thanked him, "Thank you." Alex found it amusing and hung up the phone.

Then, eager for a bit of , he called Raymond.

Raymond had just arrived at the Montague family estate, and Alex's opening remark was a challenge to his patience.

"Our little cash cow is quite something, with a flick of his wrist he put little five into the lead male role." Raymond's expression darkened instantly; he really wished someone could shut Alex's smart mouth.

"Raymond, I never imagined our brother would stoop to such lows for power." Taking a deep breath, Raymond asked, "Aren't you a bit too idle?"

Alex straightened up, "Hey, hey, I'm talking business here. Bo Huai ism coming back tonight, I've arranged a welcdinner for him, and you must come."

Qin Bo Huai, the most distinguished surgeon in New York, had been advancing his studies abroad and was a good friend to Raymond, aside Π from Alex and Paul. But Raymond touched his face. If he went tonight, he'd be the butt of jokes from the three of them for an entire year.
