Reclaiming Her Heart -
Chapter 314 Indulgence and Gentleness Are Just Illusions
The crowd that had been watching the drama slowly dispersed, and in order to display their sisterly affection, Olivia personally escorted Sofia to the car. Selena remained in place, watching as Raymond slowly approached her, step by step. For some reason, she felt a slight impulse to step back. Raymond got closer, lowering his head to look at her. She raised her eyes slightly, and the ripples in her eyes had completely vanished, as if the indulgence and gentleness from last night were just illusions.
"Selena," he called out, wanting to say something else, but then Olivia returned. "Raymond, breakfast is ready downstairs. You both probably haven't eaten yet. Mia as well. Let's all go downstairs to eat."
Seeing Raymond so close to Selena, Olivia's sense of crisis surged up, so she quickly approached. "Selena, I have already sent Sofia home, and we are investigating the matter with that drink. Since she has apologized, I hope you don't pursue it."
Her words had a hint of superiority. But Selena couldn't be bothered to investigate further; she was feeling hungry. She hadn't eaten since last night, and now she felt like she had done extensive physical labor in a dream. starved to death.
She faintly nodded and then pulled Mia, who was still petrified, to the side.
"Shall we go downstairs and eat?"
Mia's scalp tingled as she snapped back to reality.
Being young and never having had a boyfriend, Mia wished she could hide like a quail in this moment.
"Uh, sure."
Upon hearing her reply, Selena started walking downstairs.
Mia thought for a moment and didn't forget to turn back and instruct them.
"Cousin, Olivia, you should come down too."
Raymond stood still, his eyes deepening as he saw Selena's drastically changed attitude. What did she mean by this?
Once downstairs, Selena took her seat, and the waiters continuously pushed food carts around. Whenever someone sat down, they would immediately come over.
Selena glanced outside and noticed that all the tanks containing expensive seafood had disappeared.
It was a pity, as she had gone to bed early and hadn't even had a taste.
Mia sat beside Selena and received the items delivered by the waiter, placing them in front of her.
"Selena, are you hungry? You should eat now."
Selena sighed, "It's a shame. I only had a small dessert last night and didn't have the chance to eat the seafood."
Mia's hand stiffened. What do you mean you didn't have the chance? Didn't you secretly go to eat with my cousin?
But she dared not say anything and merely said, "That's truly a shame. Actually, there are many delicious dishes waiting after this."
She had brought Selena here specifically for the food, which would be much better than fancy restaurants. It was also a way to repay Selena for helping her fix the painting.
But who could have expected that she would carelessly let her cousin go out with Selena?
Mia didn't know whether she should regret or be happy about it. After all, her cousin now had Olivia. Their relationship was not bad, and there was also a wife going through a divorce at home. Getting involved with Selena would undoubtedly be quite challenging for her cousin.
Unless they were just simple friends with benefits.
But her cousin shouldn't do something like that, right?
After thanking Selena, Olivia picked up her knife and fork to start cutting the steak. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Raymond and Olivia approaching, seemingly intending to stop at their table. Selena was puzzled. What was Raymond doing?
Didn't expect Olivia's expression to already be so unpleasant?
Could it be that they wanted to discuss Manhattan?
But it didn't seem like the right time to discuss the house now.
While internally criticizing, she still politely nodded at them when they arrived.
"Mr. Montague, Miss Stone."
Olivia forced a smile, tightly holding Raymond's arm, her heart filled with hatred to the point of bleeding.
Originally, she had planned to go somewhere else with Raymond, but he immediately walked over here without giving her a chance.
Raymond sat opposite Selena and saw that there was only one steak in front of her. He took a serving of hot milk from the food cart and pushed it over.
Selena's hand stiffened, and her scalp suddenly
"It's numbing."
"Thank you, Mr. Montague."
"Selena." Raymond called her without avoiding anyone. "What are your thoughts?"
He didn't need to avoid anyone either.
He was very clear-minded last night.
