GoodNovelChapter 686 His Heart Softened He let go of Selena and rubbed his temples, his head pounding.
"Go to the top floor," Selena finally said.
Raymond yanked her into the elevator.
When they got to the top floor, he saw the door slightly open and the doorknob on the ground. He frowned.
He kicked the door open, but no one was there.
He put Selena on the sofa and checked each room. Once he was sure no one was there, he picked up the doorknob. Someone had clearly forced it open.
He dragged a shoe cabto block the door and turned to look at her.
Selena was curled up on the sofa, her shoes off, showing dirty white socks.
He sat beside her and took off her socks.
She was still shaken, her toes curling as she pulled away a bit.

He got the kit, laid out the meds on the coffee table, checked their dates, and then squeezed sointment onto his fingertip. Raymond lifted her hair with one hand and applied the ointment to her swollen cheek with the other.
The cool touch made Selena's mind go blank for a moment.
His fingers gently circled her cheek, applying the ointment.
It itched, both painful and itchy.
Raymond seemed to slow his breathing. When he finished, he tucked her hair behind her ear.
Selena looked down, uncomfortable, and heard him ask, "Who did this?" "Bryan," Selena replied.
She figured it was Bryan. She had just sent him that recording and didn't expect him to cand hurt her. Raymond's hand paused, his brows furrowing. But he didn't say anything, just exposed her forehead and started to stop the bleeding.
He was tall, and this action made Selena feel enveloped in his shadow.
The pressure made every cell in her body tremble.
Raymond lifted her chin with one finger to get a better look at the wound on her forehead.
Seeing her close her eyes, not daring to look at him, and her eyelashes trembling, Raymond's fingertips stiffened.
Hadn't they been intimate before? Raymond's fingertips gently rubbed the wound on Selena's forehead, but it felt different.
His eyes drifted to her slightly pursed lips.
Her lips were beautifully shaped, with a small bead in the middle. When she was upset, she'd purse them, looking pitiful. Thinking of her being wronged made his anger flare.
The scene in the elevator was too shocking, burned into Raymond's memory, reflecting the color of blood.
"Mr. Montague, are you done?" Selena still had her eyes closed. With him lifting her chin, her face was slightly raised.
At this angle, her face seemed to glow, even though she looked a bit disheveled. Raymond was still mesmerized. His Adam's apple bobbed, and he stayed silent.
His fingers were still on her forehead, feeling her sweat.
If he kept looking, he'd get aroused again. 'What kind of magic did this woman Selena have?' he thought.
"Go take a shower, you're filthy." He let go of Selena in disgust and sat to the side.
Selena awkwardly lowered her head and quickly went to the bedroom to grab a nightgown, then headed to the bathroom.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRaymond listened to the sound of water in the bathroom, feeling his body temperature rise even more.
But he didn't forget to take out his phone and call John. "Take care of Bryan, Bryan from Silver Bay Film Academy. I don't want to see him again."
John was a bit surprised. Recently, the Montague Group had been collaborating with Bryan on a script. e If something happened to Bryan, all their efforts for this script would be wasted. But he didn't question it. Raymond must have his reasons. The sound of water in the bathroom stopped, and Selena cout wearing her nightgown.
Raymond saw her body enveloped in steam and instantly wondered if he had ever made her wear more sexy clothes before. But he couldn't remember.
He averted his gaze. "Is there a towel?" Selena pointed to the bathroom and nodded.
Raymond immediately went into the bathroom.
When he cout, he saw Selena sitting on the sofa, behaving obediently.
While drying his hair, he sat down next to her. "Were you really scared?" He rarely saw her like this, so quiet and well-behaved.
His heart softened, and he instantly felt that Bryan deserved to die.
He didn't understand the situation, but at this moment, he wished he could personally go and deal with Bryan. He couldn't stand seeing her so frightened! It made him extremely angry.
