Singed Once Always Wary

Chapter 111 It’s from Raymond, he gave it to me

It made her feel a bit nauseous. She walked downstairs and saw Beatrice still sitting on the couch, looking pale. Beatrice took good care of herself, and she must have had some beauty to catch James‘ eye.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to marry James, who was already successful in his career, while still taking care of Nick. Her eyes glistened, radiating the charm of a middle–aged woman.

Selena furrowed her brow inexplicably.

She wanted to ask Beatrice why she wasn’t going to the hospital today, but considering that James always doted on Beatrice, even if Beatrice had the intention to rest at home, he wouldn’t say anything.

So she didn’t ask and smoothly opened the door. A man was standing outside the door, and her pupils contracted for a moment, followed by a slight acidity in her stomach.

It was Nick.

Wearing a suit, he had probably just returned from the office. His gaze fell on her revealing figure, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

But this depth was suppressed, and he simply smiled and greeted her.

“Did Selena come back tonight?”

Selena never liked the way Nick looked at her. She just made a vague sound and tried to pass by- him. Nick smelled the fragrance on her body and suppressed the urge that was spreading in his body.

“I didn’t see your car outside, let me drive you,” he said.

“No need,’ she replied.

“Selena, at least call me brother,” Nick insisted.

Selena had already taken a few steps away and didn’t want to argue. Nick stood in place, staring at her receding figure. As he turned and entered the living room, he smelled the scent inside and a look of disgust crossed his face.

“Can’t you be more careful next time? You’ll eventually be found out!” he exclaimed.

Being mocked by her own son, Beatrice’s face did not look good.

“Nick, how was I supposed to know she was coming tonight?”

Nick took off his suit jacket and draped it over his arm.

“Even if

you

u want to fool around behind James‘ back, don’t do it in the villa. James isn’t feeling well these days. If something happens, it could really anger him. The Fair family still has a stake in Selena. You haven’t completely won her shares yet, so what’s the rush?”

“Okay, it’s my fault. I had him leave through the back door, thankfully the guard notified us in advance.”

“As long as you know.”

Nick was about to leave when he casually said, “Have someone air out the living room.”

Being caught by her son made Beatrice feel embarrassed. She quickly called a servant to clean up, including disinfecting the study.

Selena took the documents and walked back to the hospital for another half an hour. She couldn’t possibly borrow money for a taxi from Beatrice, fearing that she would be ridiculed.

Just as she was about to reach the hospital, she bumped into a nurse who was in a rush. Her whole body stumbled backwards.

Luckily, she managed to support herself with the umbrella in her hand, but the umbrella. unavoidably got a long gash from a tree branch. The nurse quickly apologized and hurried away.

It was just an umbrella, so Selena couldn’t expect any compensation.

“Why do you look so disheveled?”

Only James was left in the ward at this moment, having just finished reading the documents in his hand.

Selena sniffed, “The car had a flat tire halfway, and I forgot my phone and bag in the car. Dad, can you give me some money for a taxi?”

This was the first time Selena had asked James for money since becoming an adult. James felt a subtle sense of accomplishment in his heart and handed her a card.

He noticed the Ro umbrella?

“A colleague,‘ she replied.

“Your colleague drives a Rolls–Royce?”

Selena found it strange how an umbrella could reveal the type of car someone drives, until she looked down and saw the shiny logo on the umbrella handle.

Just the thought of her breaking that umbrella made her feel a bit of a headache.

But after the incident with the Hermès dog leash before, a Rolls–Royce umbrella didn’t seem too surprising.

It was just that it would be a bit painful when it came time for compensation.

“Selena, you and your colleague…”

Selena was afraid he would nag again, so she answered truthfully, “It’s Raymond. I ran into him on the way and he lent it to me.

A smile finally appeared on James‘ face, and he willingly said, “Take care, my dear.”

Selena used her card to get some change at a nearby supermarket, but she didn’t go back to Ashbourne Manor, because Raymond’s route was to go to Ashbourne Manor just now.

The traffic police took care of her car, and within two hours, they contacted the hotel where she was staying and drove over.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Selena checked the price of this umbrella on the Internet, and when he saw 100,000 RMB, his heart started to twitch.

Raymond had just finished taking a shower, and the woman in this family hadn’t come back yet, so he didn’t care. Anyway, to him, she was just a stranger.

Taking the mobile phone, seeing the transfer of 100,000 yuan, he raised his eyebrows and sent a question mark.

[Mr. Montague, sorry, I broke the umbrella.]

Because she was a bit unlucky tonight, she also sent a pitiful expression emoji by the way.

Raymond seldom chats with people. Except for a few chats with friends in the circle occasionally, the rest is to make phone calls with partners.

So it was a little strange for him to see Selena, who was so cold all the time, with this expression.

While being novel, a subtle feeling arose in his heart.
