Reclaiming Her Heart

After a long while, he finally asked, "You're not pregnant?"

Selena genuinely couldn't understand how Raymond's mind worked, how he could think she was pregnant and embarrass her at dinner.

"If you're not pregnant, why did you tell the doctor that no matter how painful it was, you wanted to have the baby?"

That was more than half a month ago, and Selena had almost forgotten about the pregnant woman she met at the hospital. Besides, she didn't know Raymond was outside the door at that time. "Raymond, when did I ever say that to the doctor?"

"At the hospital's obstetrics and gynecology department, you told the doctor."

Selena finally remembered and gave him a strange look.

How did he know what she said to the doctor, and why did he only hear half of it?

"Were you following me?"

Raymond took a step back, "Who was following you? I just happened to pass by."

Raymond, a man, just happened to pass by the obstetrics and gynecology department? He couldn't even come up with a better lie.

Selena lowered her eyelashes, extremely annoyed by Raymond's personality.

Every time he hurt her, he would somehow make her soften her heart.

"I'm not pregnant. You need to clear out the fantasies in your head."

She wanted to open the door and leave, but then she heard Tessa's voice outside again.

It was nothing but accusations and angry scolding.

Selena paused and then advised, "We are at least exes, even divorced exes. Even if you don't like me, there's no need to deliberately bring Tessa here to embarrass me. You know she has a lot of tricks up her sleeve, right?" Raymond was momentarily speechless. Seeing that she was about to open the door, he quickly stepped forward and hugged her from behind.

Selena stiffened all over, hearing his hoarse voice, "I haven't slept well these days."

He rubbed his head against her neck like they were still intimate lovers.

Selena's rationality wavered briefly because of his action.

Raymond was always like this, appearing weak after hurting someone, trying to make her soften her heart.

He held her tighter, as if he could keep holding her forever.

But Selena was the most rational woman he had ever met. She pushed Raymond away.

"Your girlfriend Tessa is still outside, Mr. Montague. Let's go out."

With that, she opened the bathroom door.

Tessa was standing outside, and when she saw Raymond was indeed inside, she almost went mad with anger.

But she didn't dare to get angry at Raymond, so she almost poked Selena's face with her finger.

"Selena, are you shameless? You two have broken up, so why did you bring Raymond here? Do you want everyone to know that you're seducing my boyfriend behind my back?"

Selena didn't look at her, directly bypassing her and returning to the private room.

She vaguely heard Tessa cautiously asking Raymond if he was feeling unwell and why his face looked so bad.

Selena found it amusing. Raymond was like this; when he was unhappy, everyone else had to be unhappy too.

His emotions were too self-centered, and everyone had to accommodate him.noveldrama

For example, now Tessa was being around, and he didn't give her a good face.

He was used to being high and mighty, so he probably wouldn't lower himself to accommodate another person, even if that person was someone he liked.

He said he liked Selena, but when he was angry, he would say a bunch of hurtful things.

He thought that just apologizing would be enough, and they could go back to the beginning.

But words were like knives, and where the knife cut, there would always be a scar.

When Selena returned to the private room, Brad was still there. Seeing her come back, he slightly relaxed.

"Ms. Fair, are you okay?"

All three of them had disappeared just now, and even if he was a fool, he should know that these three probably had a story.

Selena smiled at him.

"I'm fine, Brad. I really like this script, and it should be the first sci-fi movie in the country. I have a lot of confidence in you, and I also hope the movie's duration can be slightly extended, not just 120 minutes."

"Ms. Fair, that's also something I wanted to discuss with you. The final duration will probably be around 140 minutes."

"Good."

As soon as they finished discussing, Raymond and Tessa walked in.

Raymond still sat opposite her.

Selena had lost her appetite after being disturbed by him just now. She didn't want to eat anything and just continued discussing the remaining content with Brad.

But the two crabs on Brad's side were brought over by Raymond and placed directly in front of her.

She paused, glanced at him, then at Brad, who was also a bit stunned.

After all, they were discussing business. Who cared about how much they ate?

Now he got up to bring the crabs over and placed them in front of Selena.

Selena didn't need to look up to know what kind of look Tessa was giving her.

She appeared very calm on the surface, but internally, she was utterly speechless at Raymond.
