Singed Once Always Wary

Chapter 33

Raymond’s hand trembled as he flipped through the documents. Slowly, he raised his head, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

“Is Carter keeping secrets from even you?” Grace chuckled. Grace knew that Carter was a little afraid of this cousin, but she didn’t expect him to be too scared to tell him about his girlfriend. “That child is really something. He said he was too busy to spend time with his girlfriend. So I thought since you picked that girl’s design, it must be good, and she looks pleasing too.”

“You’re talking about Selena?”

Raymond frowned. Wasn’t she married?

Grace laughed, “Yes, I’m very satisfied with Carter’s girlfriend for the first time. Since she is working with you, don’t make things difficult for her on my account. Who knows if they will become family in the future.”

Raymond’s face slowly turned cold.

“Don’t worry, I’ll keep an eye on her.”

Grace stood up, and Raymond personally escorted her to the exclusive elevator entrance. Suddenly remembering something, Grace stopped in her tracks, Raymond, now that Carter’s matter has been resolved, you should also consider yourself We haven’t seen much of The Fair Family’s lady before, and we don’t know what she looks like either. Since Grandpa likes her so much, it shows that there are some merits. Why not try getting along with each other?”

“Auntie, I can’t have anything with her.”

Grace also knew that he had always been stubborn and put on her sunglasses again. “Well then, take care of yourself and stop skipping meals all the time. Your stomach problems are already serious enough.”

A trace of helplessness appeared on Raymond’s face, I got it.”

After seeing off Grace, Raymond turned around and returned to his office.

John had just brought in coffee and noticed he looked slightly cold. He couldn’t help but ask, “Did Young Carter cause trouble again?”

“It’s not troubling this time. It’s just because he likes someone else’s wife.” Raymond sneered.

John’s mouth twitched. He only knew that Carter changed girlfriends more often than clothes before. How did his taste suddenly change?

Raymond’s eyes were dark and unclear. Carter was immature. Why was that woman also acting recklessly? Didn’t she say she loved her husband very much?

He lowered his gaze and saw the text message he sent to his nominal wife last night. Frowning, he set an exact time to meet up with her.

[Exactly twelve o clock]

Selena had just gotten out of Carter’s car when she received the reminder on her phone. “Mr.Ashford, thank you

Carter rolled down the front window with a bright smile, “Goodbye. I recognize you us my friend now.”

Selena found it funny and smiled slightly too.

After Carter left, Selena walked towards the entrance of her apartment building when she heard a weak voice behind her,

Selena stopped in her tracks as Alice stood under a tree nearby, looking pale–faced,

No wonder Selena didn I see her earlier. Where Alice was standing happened to be in Selenas blind spot.

“Alice? Why are you discharged from the hospital?

Chapter 33

Alice coughed lightly twice with many doubts in mind. Who was that stranger driving Selena back home? Although he drove an expensive luxury car and looked good–looking, she could be sure it wasn’t Raymond.

She had seen him from afar long ago and felt like such people were like noble sons walking out of painting. They were unforgettable at first sight. The man just now was not bad, but there was still a gap compared to Raymond.

“I had my father arrange for me to be discharged from the hospital and wanted to go home to rest. Selena, are you not coming to the Fair family for dinner tonight? Did you forget that today is my birthday?” Alice asked

Selena had never been very clear about Alice’s attitude towards her. So it was understandable that Beatrice didn’t like her, but Alice was still relatively polite towards her.

“I didn’t forget. I’ll return to the Fair family tonight, but I have some other things this afternoon. So once I’m done with them, I’ll come back. This is your gift.

She took out a necklace she bought for Alice – Carter gave her one as well, but it wouldn’t be good if she passed on something someone else gave her. So she paid for one herself in the same style.

Alice opened the box with surprise and said. “Thank you, Elena! I really like it!”

Seeing Alice’s face turn red made Selena worry that she might catch a cold or get sick, so she drove over and said, “Get in the car. Let me take you home first.”

Alice nodded and sat in the passenger seat

“Elena, Dad may talk about Montague family matters again tonight. Please prepare yourself mentally,” Alice paused before asking, “Do you really dislike Raymond, my brother–in–law?”
