Reclaiming Her Heart

John didn't respond to that, thinking that as long as you cared about Raymond, no matter how much he suffered, it was worth it.

Selena went into Ashbourne Manor alone, while John started contacting people to bring Max and Blizzard.

When Fiona saw someone trying to take Max away, she got a bit anxious.

Selena then explained to her.

"Fiona, I plan to move to Manston Manor and live with Raymond."

Her words left Fiona at a loss for what to say.

She wanted to persuade her, but this was a matter between the two of them.

She couldn't bear to part with Max, so she patted Max's head repeatedly. Then she remembered

how Selena had been neglected for three years after marrying Raymond, and her eyes turned red as she started to cry.

"Ms. Fair, I see you as my own granddaughter. I really don't want you to suffer by his side. I know what kind of life you've had these past three years, but as long as you're happy."

Selena gently hugged Fiona, the elder.

"Fiona, I'm not the kind of woman who will endure a lot of grievances in a relationship. If one day

I truly become disappointed in him, I will leave on my own."

Fiona wiped her tears and patted Selena's hand.

"As long as you understand."

Selena had already packed the materials she needed. As she was about to walk out of the living room, Fiona couldn't help but remind her.

"If the food there doesn't suit your taste, come back. If Mr. Montague treats you badly, come back too. Ms. Fair, we will always be waiting for you at Ashbourne Manor."

"Fiona, I will. I'll come back to visit you often."

Selena felt a bit emotional.

As she carried her things towards the car, she saw Raymond getting out of the car.

He walked a bit unsteadily but still wanted to help her carry her things.

"Selena, I'll get it."

Seeing him walk in an S-shape made Selena laugh.

"No need, I got this."

"I'll help you."

He insisted and bent down to pick up the bag.

Selena handed it to him, thinking he might fall, but he carried it steadily and even kissed her cheek.

"Selena, let's go home, to Manston Manor."

Selena nodded and walked forward with him holding her.

He opened the car door and gestured for her to get in first.

After Selena got in, she saw him place the materials carefully in the passenger seat before coming back to sit beside her.

John was still driving in the front, while Raymond held Selena's waist in the back, playing with her fingers and blowing on her ear from time to time.

It wasn't until they reached Ashbourne Manor that he stopped and naturally went to carry the things.

Selena let him be and went to check on Max and Blizzard first.

Max and Blizzard had arrived earlier and were exploring the new environment.

Max had been here before and acted quite familiar.

Selena followed John to choose a room for them, then went upstairs.

Raymond was taking a shower. When he came out, he rubbed the water from his hair onto her neck.

She frowned and pushed him a bit, seeing him about to get on the bed with wet hair, she quickly pulled him to sit down.

"Don't move, I'll dry your hair."

As she ran her hands through his hair, Raymond grabbed her hand and pressed it to his cheek, looking up at her.

Selena pushed him, but he didn't budge. He just pressed his face against her palm like an animal. She smiled and couldn't help but flick his forehead with her finger.

"Let go, I'll dry your hair."

Raymond finally let go and leaned back quietly, closing his eyes.

Selena dried his hair in five minutes.

She helped Raymond onto the bed and covered him with a blanket. As she was about to go to

the bathroom to shower, he grabbed her wrist.

He looked at her with furrowed brows.

"Selena, you'll come back, right?"

"I'm just going to take a shower."

"I'll shower with you."

He made a move to get out of bed and even lifted the blanket.

Selena had no choice but to go out and ask John for a handcuff, cuffing Raymond to the bed to

prevent him from wandering around the room.

He wasn't clear-headed now, and he could get hurt if he bumped into something.

When she took the handcuff from John, she could see another meaning in his eyes.

He didn't expect Selena and Raymond to play this kind of game.

Selena wanted to explain but was afraid it would make it worse!
