Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 1073 Can Raymond Still Treat You the Same? A glimmer of light flashed in Selena's eyes, but the man in front of her sneered, leaning in slowly until his nose was almost touching hers. She turned away in disgust, wishing she could tear him apart.

Christopher's alter ego spoke softly at this moment. "Do you really think that, after what happened between us, Raymond will still treat you the same? When Raymond makes love to you, he'll keep wondering if you were the sway with me.

If you confess to him, do you think he won't be jealous? He'll be insanely jealous. That's why he's been desperately looking for me, forcingto hide in such a pathetic way." Selena didn't know that Raymond was secretly looking for Mario; she had already told him not to.

Raymond must care about that incident, but he pretended not to.

Christopher's alter ego grabbed her hand, forcing her to look at him. After a long while, he smiled and let her go.

Selena remained silent, while Raymond's voice could still be heard outside, "Selena?" Christopher's alter ego walked to the window, braced himself with one hand, and leaped out.

Selena had just checked the window; it was quite high.

She lowered her eyes, took a fresh set of pajamas from a nearby box, and changed into them before opening the door.

Raymond stepped inside and shut the door behind him.

Selena felt very conflicted at this moment. On the one hand, William wanted to meet her, and on the other, there was the persistent and annoying Mawho wouldn't leave her alone. "Selena, I have a headache," Raymond said, clearly in pain. Everything in front of him seemed to be swaying.

Raymond lay down on the bed and didn't move again.

Selena raised her hand to feel his forehead; Raymond didn't have a fever.

"Where does it hurt?" she asked.

"My head," Raymond replied.

"But you don't have a fever. Are you drunk?" Selena asked.

She didn't get a response for a long time. When she looked closely, she found that he had fallen asleep. Selena lay down on the other side.

Raymond had a habit of holding her while sleeping. So, when he sensed someone beside him, he instinctively pulled her into his arms.

Selena, however, couldn't sleep at all. Mario's words kept echoing in her mind. She wanted to ask Raymond if he was really investigating Mario, but she couldn't bring herself to do it. If she asked, it would bring up the issue between her and Maagain.

This was a sore spot between Raymond and Selena.

At five o'clock the next morning, Raymond was already up and packing.

Selena woke up from a nightmare, dreaming that Masuddenly shot Raymond, and that Mabarged into their wedding.

When Selena woke up, she felt like she couldn't breathe.

Raymond was already up, looking much better, and had prepared everything they needed to take.

Selena felt her throat hurt and asked hoarsely, "Last night..." Raymond hefted the bag, which only contained a few bottles of mosquito repellent, but he was afraid Selena would get tired, so he carried everything himself. Today, he was unusually not wearing a suit but a Softshell Jacket.

"Selena, get up and start washing up. We leave at six sharp," Raymond said.

Selena wanted to ask Raymond about what happened with Tessa last night, but she decided it was best to keep quiet for now.

At six o'clock sharp, the group gathered downstairs.

Carter handed the leash to Selena. He had been playing with Blizzard all night and had becfriends with it.

Blizzard obediently followed Selena, who wasn't carrying any bags. Raymond had one on his back and another in his hand.

Seeing this, the others were even more dissatisfied with Selena, thinking she was spoiled.

Tessa and Lawrence were the last to arrive. Lawrence looked at Raymond with a very cold expression, clearly still holding a grudge over what happened last night. Raymond didn't look at Lawrence, just went over the precautions for the trip again.

As soon as he finished, Tessa walked over to Raymond. "Raymond, are you okay?" Tessa smiled sincerely at Raymond.

Raymond's expression instantly turned icy. Even a fool could tell there was something wrong with the wine.

last night, and the intende pam he felt ve indicated that Tessa had used something far more potent than a simple hallucinogen. Remaining composed, Raymond didn't respond to Tessa. Instead, he gently took Selena's hand and said, "Selena, walk withup front." Hiking was meant to be a joyful experience. Despite having a lot on her mind, Selena felt her spirits lift as she took in the beautiful scenery along the trail.

Everyone had a hiking stick. Selena didn't need Raymond to hold her hand; she held Blizzard's leash and walked ahead.

Tessa kept trying to engage Raymond in conversation. "Raymond, I heard you and Paul explored this route together, crossing several regions. You're amazing. What kind of tree is this? Why is it blooming at this tof year?" Tessa asked three questions in a row, but Raymond didn't respond to any of them. Lawrence couldn't stand seeing Tessa being ignored by Raymond and walked up to him. "Mr. Montague, why didn't you answer Tessa's questions?" Lawrence was usually very composed and rarely got angry.
