SWNOVELS Chapter 208 Do you often go out to eat with your husband?
When Selena returned to Ashbourne Manor, she saw the parked car outside and knew that Raymond had come. She hesitated for a moment and then quickly left Ashbourne Manor.
At this point her mood was not good. Thinking about the newly bought house at the Rose Gard being full of problems and the recent humiliation from the Fair family meant she had to hide from Raymond, her nominal husband, when she returned to Ashbourne Manor.
Her eyes welled up with tears, and she randomly found a chair to sit down on outside of Ashbourne Manor.
The night wind was a bit chilly, and she couldn't help but sag her shoulders, feeling a dull pain in her chest.
Just as she was about to decide whether to go back to the Rose Garden or not, a pair of black leather shoes stopped in front of her.
She was slightly stunned, and when she looked up, she saw Raymond standing in front of her, looking down at her.
Selena's heart skipped a beat, and all her emotions instantly vanished. Now she was wondering if Raymond knew her identity. "Selena? I thought I was seeing things."
How could this person appear near Ashbourne Manor by accident? Or was he just passing by like before, walking his dog?
Selena's mind was thinking quickly.
"Mr. Montague, I said during the day that I wanted to treat you to a meal. I just happened to pass by here. I was planning to call you, not sure if you are available."
Because the lights here were not bright where she was sitting, her eyes, moist, looked crystal clear, as if one could see through them in a glance.
She had been crying just now, but because of his presence, she quickly hid that fragility.
Was it because of work or family?
Unknowingly, the image of the man she had seen before came to mind.
If it wasn't for that day when her husband came to pick up Selena, Raymond would never have associated that kind of man with her
It's not that he looks down on ordinary people, but in this world, everything emphasizes matching social status.
He was man with a college degree, average appearance, and a low-level employee.
On the other hand, Selena was a talented student from the New York Art Academy, with good looks and a graceful temperament. The design fee for just one project could reach millions of dollars.
In theory, a man like that should have no connection with Selena, but he turns out to be her husband, and it seems that Selena is devoted to him. He doesn't quite understand.
Do women nowadays no longer care about requirements when looking for a husband?
Raymond doesn't usually have the habit of eating supper. He strictly follows a daily routine.
"What would you like to eat?"
Selena is momentarily stunned, then she looks up at him.
Raymond stands calmly, his aura still cold, and his face expressionless.
As far as Selena knows, Raymond is very particular about his diet due to his stomach condition, and when he doesn't have to work overtime, he maintains a strict routine and wouldn't eat supper at all. She only casually suggested it to ease her own worries, but now that he responded, she suddenly doesn't know what to eat.
In the end, they settle on a restaurant near the office building.
When Selena sat down, she felt a bit dazed.
Is she really having supper with Raymond?
Raymond sits across from her, looking at the menu and ordering a meal for two of them.
He had never eaten at this kind of restaurant before, and he rarely goes out to eat with women, so he had no idea that the meals in this restaurant were designed for couples.
Selena also doesn't recall this detail at all.
It's not until someone brings a bowl of fresh rose petals and spreads them on the table in front of them that Selena freezes.
Raymond remains calm and gives the waiter a glance. The waiter returned his glance with a smile.
"Enjoy your meal."
Raymond furrows his brow upon hearing Selena's words, "Mr. Montague, you probably haven't gone out to eat with someone of the opposite sex often. The meals in this restaurant are specifically for couples." Since Selena spoke so casually and didn't appear to feel embarrassed at all, Raymond felt calmer
"You seem to understand this place well. Do you often go out to eat together with your husband?"
