Reclaiming Her Heart
Chapter 567 I Asked If You Are Raymond's Wife

Dr. Barnes was indeed very curious and nodded.

When the time shifted to nine o'clock in the evening, everyone was left admiring the scenery and engaging in idle chatter.

Most people wouldn't be dining at this time, especially celebrities who have strict dining standards.

Selena changed into a different dress. Thinking back to when Fiona had stuffed four formal dresses into her luggage on the way here, she found it amusing. At that time, she felt it was unnecessary, thinking two dresses would be enough.

Little did she know she would ruin one on the first night. If she were to go out later and get wine spilled on her again, would she need to change into another one? She pushed the door open and stepped out into the corridor, only to meet Dr. Barnes at the corner.

Dr. Barnes didn't have to socialize like Raymond and Paul; he had dinner in the evening and went upstairs to rest. Now, he also planned to go out and feel the sea breeze. "Dr. Barnes," Selena politely called out.

Dr. Barnes glanced at her attire; she looked quite beautiful.

Although this dress wasn't as exquisite as the one given by Mr. Cassius Montague, it was made of top-notch fabric, accentuating her slim waist and fair skin.

Dr. Barnes hesitated for a few seconds before tentatively calling out, "Miss Fair?"

Selena immediately smiled at him. "Is it because I put on makeup tonight that you didn't recognize me?"

He looked at her hand. "Is your hand all healed now?"

"It's better now, thank you." Selena replied.

He pressed the elevator button, and they both entered.

He asked her, "Which floor are you going to?"

Selena said, "Probably the fifth floor; I haven't had dinner yet, and I remember the fifth floor offers late-night snacks."

Dr. Barnes pressed the fifth floor for her and the sixth floor for himself.

The seventh floor had no deck, only rooms. It's more comfortable to enjoy the sea breeze from a higher location.

After reaching the sixth floor, he didn't step out but asked a question, "Is Miss Fair named Selena?"

Selena's heart skipped a beat, and she nodded slowly.

He asked, "Are you Raymond's wife?"

Selena reminded, "Mr. Barnes, someone is calling you."

Dr. Barnes turned around and indeed saw someone waving at him, a person he knew from the circle.

However, he just glanced and then turned back.

"You don't need to change the subject; I'm asking you if you are Raymond's wife."

Selena thought about the upcoming divorce in two months; admitting or not admitting didn't matter much.

If she admitted, perhaps after the divorce, she could still use this identity to get an appointment with Dr. Barnes quickly.

After all, getting an appointment with Dr. Barnes was extremely difficult.

"Yes," she replied.

Dr. Barnes nodded, then suddenly lifted her chin, examining her features from side to side.

"From a medical perspective, your facial bone structure is excellent, with symmetrical and well-proportioned facial features. Your facial proportions and the 'W line' are all fulfilled, the facial bones have no flaws, the nasal bridge is three- dimensional with smooth lines, the height of the cheekbone is just right, and the zygomatic arch tilt is appropriate. Your eyes are round, with sharp and slightly upturned outer corners. It's hard to see anything but top-notch bone structure. How could anyone say you're ugly?"

Dr. Barnes seemed genuinely puzzled. After his comment, he let go.

Selena appeared stunned, not even resisting when her chin was held.

Dr. Barnes politely nodded, "I may have offended you just now."

Selena was a bit puzzled until he left, and the elevator closed again.

But Selena was truly hungry. She went to the fifth floor, headed straight to the buffet area, picked up some light food, and sat in a corner eating leisurely.

On the sixth floor, after chatting briefly with a few acquaintances, Dr. Barnes stood on the deck to enjoy the breeze, dispersing the remnants of the two glasses of wine he had just consumed.

Alex's voice came from behind him.

"Strange, been looking for Penny for an hour, no idea where she went."

He had no clue that Selena had been sleeping in her room all along.

Dr. Barnes simply stated a fact, "Miss Fair isn't ugly at all. Let's not say such things next time."

Alex knew that Dr. Barnes, being a doctor, tended to be meticulous in his judgments.

If he commented on someone's appearance, he would definitely seek confirmation.

Alex sighed and tightened his grip on the wine glass.

"I bet you didn't go up to Selena and tell her I called her ugly, did you?"

Dr. Barnes nodded.

Alex rubbed his forehead, somewhat bemused. "Can you please tone down your seriousness? If she dares to report to Ms. Montague with her fiery temperament, she might hold a grudge against me now." Dr. Barnes chuckled lightly. "Well, it's a good opportunity for you to stop gossiping behind people's backs."

"Am I really gossiping? I'm just stating the facts; it's just that you're too kind, Barnes."

At ten o'clock, Raymond finally managed to send everyone else away.

Seeing him heading to the top floor, no one dared to approach him for more toasts.

Raymond had a few too many drinks and rubbed his forehead.

Upon reaching his suite, after taking a shower and lying on the bed, he heard the living room door being opened, accompanied by the sound of high heels.

A sharp glint appeared in Raymond's eyes, expecting another imprudent business partner trying to win him over with a woman.

He draped on a nearby robe and got up, but before he could speak, he caught a familiar scent in the air.

The suite had only one room, with a spacious living room-usually, only couples from the circle were arranged in such suites. When Cassius gave Selena the cruise ticket, he had something in mind.

Cassius couldn't bear the thought of Selena actually divorcing his unethical grandson, so he decided to give it one last try.
