Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 110 Playing Calm, Setting up a Trap

Worried about offending Raymond, she turned her body slightly and her shoulders trembled as she sneezed. As she was drenched in rain, her face appeared even paler. Her hair, obediently clinging to her cheeks, was adorned with water droplets.

Furthermore, she was dressed lightly, and her clothes tightly clung to her body, accentuating her elegant figure.

Selena rubbed her hot eyes and saw that Raymond's car was still there, so she politely asked, "Mr. Montague, are you working overtime?"

Raymond was indeed working overtime; there was a banquet at his old mansion tomorrow night, which he had to attend, so he had moved the meeting earlier, which had just ended.

He had expected Selena to take the initiative to ask for a ride, after all, it was difficult to hail a taxi at this intersection, and she didn't have a bag or a cell phone with her.

However, the car had been stopped here for two minutes, and the cars behind were continuously honking their horns. He didn't say anything, and Selena just smiled at him, as if she was treating him as an important client. Raymond inexplicably felt a bit irritated, not understanding the source of this emotion.

"Where do you live?"

His tone was cold, and a chilling aura emanated from his profile.

Selena was actually planning to go back to the Fair family to get some documents, but if she went to the Fair family, Raymond would definitely replace out her identity in advance.

Moreover, she was completely soaked, and getting into his car would only dirty it.

"I live nearby."

A complex expression flashed in Raymond's eyes. This was the first time he had offered to drive a woman home, but he had been gently refused. Was she really as Alex had described, playing calm, setting up a trap, or was there something else?

He opened the car door, and Selena was somewhat surprised, thinking he was inviting her to get in. Just as she was about to replace an excuse to refuse again, she saw a handle pop out of the car door, a silver handle. "Take the umbrella."

Selena heard his words and hurriedly took the silver umbrella handle.

"Thank you, Mr. Montague. I will definitely return it to you another day."

Only now did Raymond notice that since they had met, she had always addressed him with "you." Polite yet distant.

The car door closed automatically, and he said nothing.

Selena was already drenched, so the umbrella was no longer of much use, but after turning down his offer once, it would be impolite to refuse a second time and appear ungrateful.

In truth, according to her truest thoughts, she wanted to be bold and ask for one hundred yuan for a ride, but wouldn't that clearly show that she didn't want to ride in Raymond's car? She was afraid of completely offending him. She decided to keep her mouth shut and walk to the Fair family instead.

Indeed, it only took half an hour to walk from here to the Fair family, but she was still wearing high heels, which made it somewhat inconvenient.

Raymond saw through the reflection in the car mirror. The light reflected and he could see her walking along the path, her lips pursed tightly. Selena's feet started to ache as she finally saw the entrance to the Fair family's gate. The guard at the gate saw her approaching, panic written all over his face.

"Miss Fair, what... what are you doing here?"

"I came to bring my father some documents."

As she spoke, she walked through the gate with an umbrella in her hand. She rang the doorbell to the living room and waited for ten minutes before Beatrice, dressed in pajamas, opened the door. "What are you here for?!"

Beatrice's tone was very impolite, with a strong indication that she was trying to stop her from entering. Selena looked behind her and noticed that the decorations in the living room had changed to Beatrice's preferred style. There was a strange smell in the air, and she furrowed her brow.

"I came to bring something for my father, so step aside."

Beatrice rolled her eyes, crossed her arms, and stood to the side.

"Get what you need and leave. It was you who wanted to leave the Fair family, so don't come back here with an arrogant face."

Selena found it amusing and glanced at her from head to toe.

Beatrice inexplicably became flustered and pulled her pajamas tighter.

"What are you looking at?! Just because your father isn't here doesn't mean I can't do anything to you!"

Selena couldn't be bothered with arguing with her and went upstairs to the study to get the documents, but when she opened the study, she saw a family portrait on the desk. Only James, Beatrice, and Alice and Nick were in it. Her and her mother's photo was put away in a drawer. Selena only took a quick glance and reached for the documents. At that moment, she caught a whiff of that strange smell again, somewhat fishy and sour.
