Chapter 262 Returning to Secure Mrs. Montague's Position First It was Sofia, sitting next to Olivia, who thought of Selena's face and felt uncomfortable.
She couldn't help but remind Olivia discreetly.
"Cousin, that designer I told you about, she's very close to Raymond. I always feel like she has ulterior motives, trying to get close to your husband. You should be careful." Although Olivia was also a little worried about Raymond being swayed by other women, after the incident with the cufflinks, she had confidence in her position. However, it didn't mean she would allow that designer to do as she pleased. She had to give the other party a little push.
"But there's no rush now." Olivia, with her gentle appearance, was sitting among a group of socialites when she heard someone ask, "It's your welcbanquet today, why isn't Raymond here?" Olivia smiled gracefully, pushed back the strands of hair near her ear, and slowly stood up.
"I just spoke to him on the phone, he said he'll be here soon." As soon as she finished speaking, the door to the private room was pushed open and Raymond and Alex walked in.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAlex had a small gift box in his hand and smiled as he handed it to Olivia.
"Congratulations on your return, a small gift to show my respect." Olivia playfully scolded him with a look, then eagerly looked at Raymond with anticipation.
Raymond, dressed in a white shirt and black trousers, had already taken off his suit jacket and draped it over his elbow. He appeared immaculate and composed, clearly just coming from a previous social engagement. He also took out a jewelry box.
A smile instantly appeared on Olivia's face.
"Raymond, I don't need all these before, please take a seat." Alex, who was standing to the side, raised an eyebrow at the gift Raymond had given.
Indeed, the price of this gift was very expensive, a necklace that was currently highly sought after by socialites in the luxury goods market, with a value close to $20 million.
But for Raymond, money was never a problem; it was the sentiment that mattered.
This gift was obviously chosen by John, going for something extravagant.
There was a meaningful look in Alex's eyes as he chuckled, "A gift worth twenty million, Raymond's affection for Miss Stone remains unchanged." Olivia loved hearing this kind of talk and immediately reached out to hold Raymond's hand.
"Raymond, csit withover here." Alex smartly waved his hand, "Go on, I won't be a third wheel. I'll write both of you into my script another day, everyone will envy it." The smile on Olivia's face grew even brighter as she looked up at Raymond, and she noticed that his expression remained calm and composed.
But that had always been Raymond, from past to present. What Olivia wanted was passion, for him to declare to everyone in the New York circle that he couldn't live without her. But Raymond had not done that.
Olivia had been cherished all her life and had many fantasies about love. Besides, she had no shortage of suitors, although they couldn't compare to Raymond. She just wanted to be cherished by him, to becthe object of envy for everyone.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSo his attempts to keep her, tand tagain, fell short in her eyes. She couldn't feel that fervor from him. But now she had figured it out. Staying upset overseas would only give others a chance, so it was better to return and secure her position as Mrs. Montague. Then she could gradually learn the art of being a proper wife. With Raymond's arrival, the female companions around them also sat beside their male companions, no one daring to get too close to him.
Within a radius of one meter, only Olivia and him remained.
Olivia's vanity was greatly satisfied as she clung tightly to people around her. There were several other tables around, all occupied by the most important members of this circle.
Olivia tilted her head and spoke to Raymond. She saw a drink being brought over by a waiter and lifted her hand to take a sip. Raymond frowned and gently stopped her.
"It's strong," he said.
Upon hearing this, Olivia quickly put it down and obediently said, "Then I won't drink it. Raymond, you have it?" The drink had already reached her lips and she had taken a sip, but now she pushed it towards Raymond.
Raymond casually replied, "I have a back injury, so I can't drink for a few days."
Olivia didn't know when he got injured, and coincidentally, others were coming over to toast Raymond, including Caterlington. Olivia intercepted them directly, saying, "Raymond can't drink these days."
Caterlington raised an eyebrow and teased, "Miss Stone, this this person hasn't even entered yet, and you're already managing people. Not good, right?" The people around started laughing, and Olivia's face turned red, filled with sweetness.
