Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 408: Being in Love Makes You Distracted

Raymond rubbed his temples.

"You called me here just for this?"

"Christopher went on a secret mission, and he's been gone for so many years now, but the higher-ups are still investigating all his movements, including your father. Your father hasn't been home for many years, and I heard he's also looking into your brother's past. So your brother must have left something very important, possibly in the hands of his girlfriend, who might not even be aware of its significance."

Raymond fell silent, dressed in a suit, his aura cold and sharp.

"Raymond, or think about what kind of girl Christopher would like. Let's screen them one by one in New York; it might be faster."

Raymond stepped forward to leave, and seeing his disinterest, Paul glanced at him.

"That information might reveal the cause of Christopher's death."

Raymond stiffened.

"I've checked. He didn't have any female contacts."

"So I plan to have these drafts scanned. At under twenty years old, if he was in love, he'd surely be distracted."

Raymond left with only one sentence.

"Let me know if you replace anything."

With that, he walked out first.

Paul ordered the people around to take all the drafts from the two rooms for screening, confident that given time, he would replace a female name connected to Christopher Montague. Paul's persistence in replaceing that thing was because their family was under the management of the higher-ups.

Whatever the higher-ups wanted done was naturally their responsibility.

Moreover, Christopher Montague's death had been very sudden.

After getting into the car, Raymond held the steering wheel lightly and left the place.

Passing the crossroads, he saw a car stopped next to him.

Both cars were waiting for the traffic light, and that car had the window half open, revealing Selena's face.

Raymond raised an eyebrow and rolled down his window, honking twice.

Selena, quietly looking ahead, was startled by the sudden honk, turned her head, and saw Raymond in the other car.

For a moment, she felt dazed, as if she had seen that person.

Perhaps it was an illusion caused by the light; she paused for a moment, forgetting to move.

She remembered a line from the letter, "I've become every drop of rain that's near you."

Sadness tugged at her lips.

Raymond honked twice again, not pleased with her cold demeanor.

Selena came back to her senses and turned to smile at him.

Raymond gestured towards a certain restaurant, clearly suggesting they eat together.

Selena didn't really want to go but didn't want to offend Raymond, so she parked her car outside the restaurant.

Raymond's car stopped behind hers.

The restaurant was upscale, with screens separating each table for privacy.

Selena chose a table and pushed the menu towards Raymond.

"Mr. Montague, what would you like to eat?"

Raymond hadn't expected to run into her on the road, and she seemed to be in a bad mood, managing a smile.

He was about to ask when Grandpa called.

Seeing Grandpa's call, Raymond frowned but still answered.

"Grandpa."

"Raymond, are you having dinner with Selena?"

"Yes."

"I asked Selena, and she said she's very pleased with the gift you sent. You didn't disappoint me."

Raymond had no idea what gift he had supposedly sent his wife in name; it was Olivia who had prepared it.

That woman wasn't worth his effort.

He was about to speak when Selena also received a message, from James, saying all the Fair family's documents had been sent to Rose Garden, telling her to take charge tomorrow. This was pushing her into a corner.

She felt unprecedented irritation, stood up, and grabbed her bag.

"Mr. Montague, I have some urgent matters to deal with and can't join you for dinner."

Raymond looked up, his gaze lingering on her for a moment before nodding as if to give permission.

Grandpa didn't hear clearly, only catching a woman's voice.

"Who's that beside you? Selena?"

Raymond went along with the misunderstanding.

"Yes, she had to leave for something."

Mr. Montague Sr. felt he had heard correctly, and it was indeed Selena's voice, which greatly improved his mood.

"Aren't you going to see her off?"

"I'm on my way now."

Raymond hung up, hating that he couldn't get divorced right away, otherwise Grandpa would call every day to check on their progress.

He walked to Selena's car window, where she had already started the engine. Hearing someone knocking, she turned her head.

The next second, a slender hand reached over and pressed against the back of her head, as he kissed her.

Raymond liked to kiss her unexpectedly.

Her heart missed a beat.
