Reclaiming Her Heart

However, Selena took one look at the couple kissing and awkwardly turned her head away.

"Sorry, Mr. Montague, your eyes are contaminated," she said.

In this public restaurant, to kiss so openly and unabashedly, it seemed that as long as the two people involved were not embarrassed, it was everyone else who felt awkward.

Selena didn't possess an open mindset in this regard. Apart from her night with Raymond, she had very little intimate contact with men. So now, she felt her toes curling with embarrassment.

The woman sat in Lucas's lap, effectively shielding him from view. From Selena's perspective, she could only see the woman's back, Lucas's arms wrapped around her waist, and half of his body exposed. She couldn't see anything else. So she didn't recognize that it was Lucas.

Raymond was already prepared for Selena to approach and tear apart the mistress, but he didn't expect to hear her say those words.

He lifted his gaze and his eyes fell lightly on Selena.

Selena felt puzzled. For some reason, she felt that Raymond's gaze was off.

There was sympathy and pity.

Perhaps he didn't like the taste of the dishes?

Raymond didn't touch the utensils on the table, but leaned back slowly.

His posture was elegant, coupled with his fair skin and the light above his head, he exuded an indescribable nobility.

"Selena, it's getting late. Why don't you give your husband a call?" he said.

When that man's phone rings later, she should realize that she has been cheated on.

Raymond didn't like meddling in other people's affairs, but since he had witnessed it, he couldn't pretend not to.

And seeing Selena still oblivious, he felt somewhat uncomfortable.

This person was particularly calm and assertive in business matters, but was a fool when it came to relationships.

"No need, he should be working overtime now," she replied.

Yes, working overtime on someone else's lips.

Raymond lowered his gaze, encountering this kind of situation for the first time.

He didn't say anything else, just looked out the window.

"Let's go back to the manor after we finish eating."

Selena saw that he hadn't touched his meal. She decided not to persuade him anymore to eat. After all, she was the one who was hungry.

She reluctantly took a few bites before getting up to pay.

Raymond saw that the other couple was not far from the cashier, and if Selena went over, she would definitely see them.

He didn't stop her, just looked at her naturally.

After Selena got up, she walked past the two without glancing at them, confirmed the bill with the waiter, and walked back without a glance at the couple. "Mr. Montague, I can take a taxi back myself."

She had arrived to the restaurant in Raymond's car, and Ashbourne Manor was located in the city center, close to everywhere.

She just needed to wait until Raymond fell asleep, then she could go back to Ashbourne Manor, and then drive to Ridgefield after Raymond left in the morning. Raymond sat still and watched her with an unknowing expression, raising his eyebrows slightly.

But he didn't reveal it, instead, he got up and they walked out together.

When they were about to get in the car, he couldn't help but ask.

"Doesn't your husband often travel for work? Haven't you suspected anything?"

This was basically telling her straightforwardly that there was something wrong with her husband, and as long as she wasn't stupid, she could find out when she went back. After all, her brain must be functioning well to be admitted to the New York Academy of Fine Arts.

But Selena just nodded.

"Mr. Montague, of course, I trust my husband. Men all over the world may cheat, except him."

Raymond raised his eyes and saw the husband she trusted so much already embracing a woman and getting into his Mercedes.

Obviously, the next place the two were going was a hotel.

He looked at Selena again, pursed his lips, and ultimately said nothing.

Selena watched him get in the car, slightly bowed, and smiled at him through the car window with narrowed eyes.

"Mr. Montague, until we meet again."

Being in his company tonight completely dispelled the gloom surrounding the Fair family, and her heart felt much lighter now. Raymond looked at her smiling eyes, more magnificent than the surrounding lights.

But he just rolled up the window and drove away.

So indifferent.

Selena stood still and shook her head, smiling. If he wasn't indifferent, he wouldn't be Raymond.
