LoveNovelChapter 1260 She Never Liked Him After All After forcing water down her throat, he released Selena with a look of disgust before turning and walking away.
Tessa lay asleep on the downstairs sofa, tears still streaming down her face even in slumber-clear evidence of how deeply tonight's events had traumatized her.
Lawrence approached her, carefully lifting her into his arms.
Christopher's alter watched him exit the villa, feeling nothing but irritation.
For reasons he couldn't fully articulate, he despised women like Tessa, even suspecting she might be responsible for Wind's murder.
He loathed Selena too-she had a talent for provoking anger-though she didn't seem capable of such violence. Since her falling out with Raymond, she'd becdetached, no longer instigating conflicts.

Raymond had purchased tickets to Vistalia for that evening, but as his departure tapproached, he changed his mind.
The car headed for the airport made a U-turn, returning him to Manston Manor.
Max and Blizzard cbounding from a distance, barking excitedly at his arrival.
Max, particularly eager to please, kept a respectful distance-aware of Raymond's usual coldness-wagging his tail hopefully.
Blizzard, bolder by nature, shamelessly rubbed against Raymond's legs.
Taking gloves from John, Raymond stroked Max's head after putting them on. Max's excitement grew, occasionally glancing behind Raymond, clearly wondering where Selena was.
They had only been living together for a few days before Selena's disappearance. It seemed whenever things began improving, they would suddenly deteriorate. "She's not coming. She'll never cagain," Raymond muttered.

Even worse, she'd said she didn't believe he truly cared for her.
She had invalidated everything he'd done, even rejecting his feelings showing utter contempt for his emotions.
His hand tensed, inadvertently pulling out a tuft of Max's fur.
Max, misinterpreting this as playfulness, happily nuzzled Raymond's hand.
Raymond stood, returned the gloves to John, and strode purposefully inside.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAt that moment, Helen called, "Raymond, are you feeling any better?" Helen knew nothing of the events in Silver Bay City, but had sensed his disturbed mood during their last call.

"Yes," he replied flatly.
"Did you see the email I sent you?" "What email?"
"Jason cto the underground fighting arena. He wants to make a deal-he needs our help finding his daughter. Apparently, Tessa isn't Jason's biological daughter. Only Jason knows this in the Smith family; Lawrence and Richard remain in the dark. The Smith family's internal politics are complex. It seems Jason can't extricate himself from the situation, which is why he's seeking our cooperation." Raymond remained silent for about ten seconds before asking, "Why didn't you mention something this important during our last call?"
"You seemed distressed then, Raymond. You know that at our arena, your wellbeing always takes priority. Even if Jason offered twenty billion dollars, I'd refuse if you weren't interested." "Accept it," Raymond said, his eyes filled with contempt.
Lawrence cared so deeply for Tessa, even confronting the Montague Group for her
sake. How ironic that Tessa wasn't even a Smith by blood. He was doting ода a woman whose origins remained a mystery. How utterly absurd.
