Singed Once Always Wary

Chapter 117 You have to bear his anger after all

She used the car door for support and slowly got in. Her knee and ankle were in unbearable pain, but she endured it and remained polite as well as distant in front of Raymond.

“Thank you for the trouble, Mr. Montague.

A faint smell of blood lingered in the air. After saying this, she worried that she had disturbed Raymond’s work and quietly sat in the corner without speaking again.

Raymond’s eyes fell on her knees as soon as she got in. Her knees were still bleeding, with a long cut, and her ankle was red and swollen. If it were any other woman, they would probably be unable to control their expressions due to the pain.

But Selena just took a deep breath and quietly looked ahead. The car quickly passed by the place where Mia was, because Max was too eye–catching and Raymond immediately noticed Mia playing with him.

He couldn’t help but ask, “Where were you in such a hurry just now?”

Last time she seemed quite nervous about that dog, why would she suddenly give the dog to Mia and run in that direction herself.

Selena seemed to have not answered his question yet. Did she live there, but her apartment was quite far from here, wasn’t it? He wondered.

Knowing that Raymond was unaware of her identity, Selena had already calmed down and used the initial excuse.

“This line is very beautiful and suitable for keeping dogs. I don’t live there. The villas there are rumored to be quite expensive. I rent a place nearby, but I’ll be moving to a new home soon.”

Raymond squinted his eyes. Renting?

With a design fee of over a million, although New York’s house prices were indeed expensive, it shouldn’t be necessary to rent after working for a few years. Moreover, they were a couple working together, they should have saved enough for a down payment.

“I just saw Mr. Montague’s car, didn’t expect to see Mr. Montague in this area as well.”

Selena cleverly changed the topic and turned it into her asking Raymond.

Yes.”

Raymond did not say much. He didn’t want to mention that woman in Ashbourne Manor at all.

They had arrived at the hospital. Selena opened the car door and tried to get out with a limp, but her foot was in so much pain that she struggled several times without success.

She rarely had such an awkward moment. She took a shallow breath and no longer cared about the wound on her knee, directly getting out of the car.

Intense pain surged, her complexion changed, but she still stood outside the window, smiling at- Raymond.

“Mr. Montague, thank you.”

Raymond held the documents and saw her finish speaking, then limped towards the hospital gate. This woman really wouldn’t ask for help even in the face of death, her mouth was as stubborn as a clamshell.

He rubbed his temple and found it amusing. There was no need to rush to help her.

“Would you like any help?” He is busy, and has never been so enthusiastic before.

John sat in the front seat, thinking that the president would help the person, but when he heard him

say this, he stepped on the accelerator.

Selena went into the hospital alone. After being bandaged, she walked out with the crutches provided by the hospital, feeling somewhat troubled. She still had to attend a banquet in the evening, but in her current state, how could she go?

Grandpa Fu wanted to introduce her to other people in the circle tonight. In her current condition, she would probably embarrass the old man. Selena regretted it a bit. She shouldn’t have hurried back to see Raymond.

She called Fiona and asked her to send someone to pick up Max, while she thought about how to quickly reduce the swelling in her ankle.

There was no bone injury, so she should be able to endure wearing high heels.

She quickly took a taxi back to Ashbourne Manor. Fiona was shocked to see her like this.

Max was already locked in the back room at the moment, and Fiona was extremely worried. “Miss Fair, aren’t you going back to the ancestral home tonight?”

“Fiona, please apply ice for me, for about two hours. I will need to start putting on makeup soon.”

Fiona had no choice but to quickly find some ice.

“Mr. Montague left in anger, Miss Fair. Are you going to live under the same roof in the future, or should you stop being so confrontational?”

Selena didn’t need to guess to know that Raymond must be very angry after all he was stood up three times in a row.

She sighed, looking at her still swollen ankle. You can hide on the first day of the lunar month, but not on the fifteenth. Tonight at the banquet, she couldn’t continue to deceive him.

In the end, she would have to bear his anger.
