Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 550 I Want to Divorce Selena, I Never Loved Her

Cassius nodded slowly. "Well, I guessed right. You do have feelings for someone. So, tell me, how did you feel about this? I didn't even inform Selena when you got into trouble this time."

Raymond lowered his eyelashes, a hint of surprise lurking deep in his eyes.

He knew this was the opportunity he had been waiting for. "Grandpa, I want to divorce Selena. I have never loved her."

Upon hearing these words, the ward fell into a profound silence.

Raymond had expected his grandfather to oppose, to reprimand, but to his surprise, the elder rose slowly, leaning on his cane, his tone tinged with melancholy.

"Very well, then. If your heart belongs to someone else, and you're not worthy of Selena anymore, so be it. However, it appears that due to the Montague family's investments in the Fair family over two rounds, the child is hesitant to divorce immediately. They have proposed a three-month deadline. In three months, you will both sign the divorce papers and go your separate ways. Free to marry as you please, with no further ties to each other."

Raymond had expected this matter to take several years, but he was taken aback by how quickly his grandfather agreed.

A faint smile crept across his lips, thinking that perhaps his frail appearance had swayed the elder from further rebuke.

At this moment, Cassius had already reached the doorway, and as he opened it, he uttered one last phrase.

"May you have no regrets."

'How could he possibly regret such a woman?'

"Grandfather, rest assured, I will not regret this."

Seeing Raymond's resolute demeanor, devoid of any lingering affection for Selena, Cassius increasingly viewed him as a brute-attaining Selena's body but shamelessly indifferent. Fine, he decided to wash his hands of the matter.

After Cassius left, Raymond looked at John. "Where's Selena?"

"The day you were admitted to the hospital, Cassius arrived, and in these past few days, members of the Montague family have also visited. Selena hasn't come," answered John. Raymond felt a twinge of discomfort in his heart. 'She hadn't come at all?

'Not even a quiet visit, just to glance at him?'

"Where's my phone?"

John had already gotten him a new phone and handed it over.

Selena had also replaced two SIM cards and obtained a new phone. She was in a meeting with senior executives from the Montague family when Raymond called her. "Raymond."

Raymond's injury was severe, and up to now, the bandage was still wrapped very thickly.

"What are you busy with?"

"Some work-related matters."

Raymond fell silent, then finally couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you planning to visit me?"

Selena had heard that the Montague family has been in turmoil recently. Cassius had called her multiple times, asking her not to get involved in the chaos, so she had been keeping a low profile.

From the conversation with Mia, Selena learned that both the Montague family and Catherine's family were pressuring her to divorce Raymond. The patriarch mentioned the three-month agreement to settle the matter.

Her phone had scarcely rested these days, inundated with a barrage of abusive messages from Catherine. A woman once admired by Donovan, Catherine shed all pretenses and spared no venomous word in directing her malice toward Selena. Apart from Catherine, there was Madam, whose language was even more egregious, descending to the extent of denigrating the deceased Barbara, which was the most intolerable situation for Selena. "Raymond, I'm a bit busy over here too."

Upon hearing her words, Raymond fell silent for a minute before abruptly ending the call, visibly seething with anger.

He had never encountered a woman more inscrutable than her.

John promptly handed him a glass of water and offered some advice, "Raymond, Selena may not even be aware of your pursuit."

With a sardonic chuckle, Raymond retorted, "Am I pursuing her?"

John fell silent instantly.

Raymond felt a profound sense of constriction in his chest, intensifying the pain of his back injury as if something were gnawing at his mind. Long ago, he lowered his eyelashes as if compromising.

After a while, he lowered his eyelashes, conceding in a manner of compromise.

"Have those two pairs of shoes arrived?" he inquired.

"Yes," came the reply.

"Find an opportunity to deliver them to her."

John pondered how Raymond held Selena in such distinctive regard, to the point of contemplating gifts despite his current state of agitation.

"Raymond, the Montague family has been quite lively recently. Selena was exposed as the daughter of your father's first love. Mrs. Catherine Montague has been causing a scene, and Catherine's families have also stepped in. Now, everyone knows that you and Selena will be getting divorced in three months."

Raymond raised an eyebrow; he had never heard of this before.

So, he still needed to thank Catherine.

If she hadn't done that, Cassius wouldn't have agreed to divorce him so quickly.

He endured for another three months.

In that case, he also owed Catherine a debt of gratitude.

If it weren't for her actions, Cassius wouldn't have agreed to his divorce so quickly.

He just had to endure for another three months.
