Chapter 772 I Will Compensate You "I'll make it up to you," he said, his eyelashes fluttering as he opened the door next to him. "Go hand get ssolid sleep tonight. If you ever run into any problems you can't handle, ctalk to me." Selena was a bit thrown off, thinking Raymond would be livid and rip her apart tonight.
She got out of the car hesitantly, but then a pair of hands wrapped around her waist, and a head rested on her shoulder. His voice had a hint of a plea. "Stay away from those guys. I'll make it worth your while." "I've got nothing to do with them," Selena said.
Raymond's forehead pressed against her shoulder, finally showing svulnerability. "Doesn't matter if you did. Just don't be with them anymore. You've gotnow, right?" Selena opened her mouth to deny it, but his raspy tone made her feel like she couldn't breathe, like someone was choking her.
After a long pause, Raymond finally let her go. "You heading back to Ashbourne Manor? I'll take you." He finally remembered Ashbourne Manor, the place that used to be their home.
How ironic. They were together in that villa, yet he didn't recognize her.
It was only after the divorce that he learned the truth.
Selena didn't say a word. She did need to go back to Ashbourne Manor now.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe silently got back in the passenger seat, not daring to say anything more to piss him off, since she was the one who deceived him first.
The car drove quietly down the road, and no one spoke during the ride.
When they arrived at Ashbourne Manor, Raymond still hadn't unlocked the car door, so Selena couldn't get out.
He turned to look at the house in front of him, remembering how she had once brought him back here. He hadn't told her the address, yet she parked the car here. He had sensed something odd back then but didn't pay attention to it. Thinking back on these details now, he felt a bitter taste in his mouth.
Yeah, how did he not notice? There were so many clues.
'Is this what they mean by being too close to see clearly?' Raymond thought.
Selena said, "Mr. Montague, unlock the car door." "CallRaymond." His tone was indifferent as he opened the car door for her.
After Selena got out, she heard footsteps behind her. She stopped and turned to look at him.
Raymond walked past her, heading forward.
"Mr. Montague, this is my home. Do I need to remind you? This was a pre-marital gift from Grandpa. After the divorce, it belongs toalone," Selena said.
Raymond had reached the door. Hearing this, he stopped, and an endless sorrow welled up inside him. Selena ignored him, mercilessly closing the door, almost hitting his nose.
Raymond finally understood what it meant to be rejected.
He stood at the door for an hour without ringing the bell.
After an hour, he left, looking back every few steps.
The news he received tonight was so shocking that even now, being alone, he felt a sense of unreality and loneliness.
Until John's call cthrough. "Boss, I didn't see you in the private room. Did you leave?" Raymond replied, "Send the items to Manston Manor. I'm heading back now." After speaking, he got into the car.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen he returned to Manston Manor, he couldn't help but think that Selena had designed this house, making him feel even more bitter. Entering the hall, he sat on the sofa, finally understanding the significance of the hairpin.
It was a gift he had given her, yet it ended up at Montague Manor.
And at that time, he had even told his mother to be thorough.
The more he recalled these details, the more his fingers trembled.
Then he took out the divorce agreement Selena had signed and compared it with the regent Om Sure document. Sure enough, the handwriting was identical. No wonder he found the handwriting familiar at the time. But because he was so indifferent to Selena's identity, he never made the connection.
He stared at the hairpin in his hand for a long tbefore taking out his phone to call Catherine.
Catherine was now somewhat afraid of his calls, knowing he had om discovered that Selena was Penny. "Raymond," Catherine first called out. "Mom, what happened to the child?" Catherine's tone immediately becguilty. "It was just like that, couldn't keep it." "Did you force her to have an abortion?" Raymond asked.
