GoodReadChapter 596 Raymond's Affection Noticing that Raymond was about to put that diamond ring on her finger, Selena clenched her fist in fear.
Raymond frowned, momentarily forgetting any tenderness, and directly forced one of her fingers open to put the ring on.
Selena fiercely shook her hand, and the ring flew through the air, landing somewhere in a corner.
She remained silent. Raymond said nothing, either.
After a three-minute standoff, she finally shrugged her shoulders. "Mr. Montague, you might be drunk." Raymond's eyes reddened, and he directly grabbed her chin, kissing her regardless.
Selena pushed him away without hesitation, even slapping him.
Raymond sobered up instantly, hearing her say, "I'm really not interested in being someone else's lover." He touched his cheek, not even sure how many slaps he had received from her. He felt aggrieved and angry. "Do you have to live a difficult life with that kind of man?" Selena still held her clothes in her hands, feeling that she couldn't reason with Raymond.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRaymond had enjoyed a smooth sailing life since his childhood, in addition to having been raised largely outdoors, free from any restrictions. He had acted as he wished, and no one had managed to control him.
It made sense upon reflection. In Raymond's family, there had been no emotional bond between Catherine and Donovan. He had never grasped the concept of love from his parents. The relationship between Cassius and his wife had been even more remote.
Raymond also had a genius older brother, whom their family favored more, so he received even less attention. The Montague family indeed had great power, supporting him in doing all sorts of crazy things.
When Raymond felt no love from his family, he joined the military, where he could release all his fierce madness. Before Raymond becthe heir, the outside world called him a wolf, fierce and ruthless.
Later, after Christopher died, he was almost forced to put on that layer of noble and cultured shell to interact with people in the business world.
In fact, his essence never changed; he had always been that wolf who didn't understand emotions.
"Mr. Montague, who I want to be with is my freedom," Selena said calmly. She opened the door beside her, still feeling the pain from being tossed around by him these past two days.
'I would have to be crazy to like him. I'm about to be free from this, which was great.' Selena's heart was jubilant. Raymond embraced her from behind. "Penny." His chin rested on her shoulder, his tone softening. "I never intended for you to be my lover, so what if I becyours?" He pondered for a bit, then supplemented, "You don't have to divorce. I'll still provide for you because I like you." When Selena heard the last sentence, she didn't feel happy but horrified.
She struggled desperately to break free.
Due to her struggles, Raymond took several steps back.
"I don't like you, Mr. Montague. You're drunk tonight. It's almost dawn. Sober up." With that, she almost fled the scene.
Raymond stood in the bedroom, feeling all the slight drunkenness disappear because of her escape.
His face darkened, feeling the silence in the room hitting him like slaps to the face.
This was the first the had felt such a mix of humiliation and heartache. He really didn't understand. 'Was my retaliation against her these past two days wrong? I had clearly shown mercy. I almost died from her drugs. My life is very valuable, and it couldn't be offset by just two days of intimacy with her.' Raymond didn't go after her, nor did he turn on the room's light.
He was afraid that once the light was on, he would look even more disheveled. Raymond returned to the bedside and lay down.
The scent of her on the pillow, like cigarette smoke, cleared his mind.

At this moment, Selena was dressing herself; she dared not stay at Rose Garden any longer.
In the dead of night, she returned to Ashbourne Manor, toq the scaredion continue staying there after being frightened by Raymond. If Raymond knew she was avoiding him like the plague, he would probably cause a scene again.
Selena returned to Ashbourne Manor, barely daring to recall what Raymond had just said.
She treated it as a joke.
'Raymond couldn't even learn to respect, so how could he understand what love is. As Raymond said, it was only comfortable to make love with me, nothing more,' Selena thought. He shamelessly claimed to like, truly desecrating these words.
Selena, filled with anger, retreated to her bedroom in Ashbourne Manon where she pulled out that cherished letter once more, still marked by tear stains. 'This is what liking truly is. Raymond's feelings don't mean anything,' Selena thought.
