Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 97 When to have a child with Raymond He frowned, but didn't think much about it. Instead, he turned and walked to the table next to him to continue reading his work emails.

Early the next morning, he had already cdownstairs. Fiona brought out a Western-style breakfast. Raymond's gaze swept through the living room, but he didn't see the mistress of the house. Fiona seemed to know what he was looking for and quickly explained.

"Miss Fair was a little tired yesterday and askednot to wake her up this morning." Raymond also thought of James being hospitalized. Yesterday evening, she probably cback from the hospital. But wasn't James pretending to be sick on purpose? His thin lips showed a hint of coldness as he calmly finished his breakfast and got into the car parked outside. On the first night staying at Ashbourne Manor, he didn't see his wife whom he hadn't seen in three years.

He wondered if she was able to remain composed or if she intentionally wanted to pique his interest. If it was the latter, she had made a mistake in her tactics, as he would not be interested in her, never.

Raymond instructed John to buy something and go check on James at the Montague family at noon. John nodded in agreement, Once Raymond left Ashbourne Manor, Fiona knocked on Selena's door. Selena had already finished getting ready and was waiting for her.

"He left?" "Yes, Miss Fair, he just left." Selena went downstairs.

"Miss Fair, if you are avoidingbecause of Mrs. Montague's words, do you wantto talk to the old man about it?" "No need, Fiona. I don't consider you an outsider, so I won't hide anything from you. I don't like Raymond. I married him back then because of the three billion funding; Mrs. Montague doesn't likebecause of that, and that's normal. Once my grandfather's condition improves, I will divorce Raymond." Fiona had nothing to say, so she simply nodded. Selena had breakfast and picked up the gift for Mr. Montague Senior, She intended to visit the old estate today.

Mr. Montague and doctors.

was now living alone in the old estate, where there were still many Perhaps because of returning to the country, the old man's spirits were quite good. When he saw Selena, he excitedly stood up with the help of his cane.

"Selena, you finally came." A tinge of guilt appeared on Selena's face as she quickly approached him.

"Grandfather, I'm sorry. My father had a sudden health issue yesterday, and I didn't realize that I had missed the pick-up time. This is the gift I brought." The gift Selena gave to the old man wasn't something bought outside; after all, Mr. Montague Senior was at a position where he could buy anything he wanted. She had painted a picture herself, and when she gave it away, she felt somewhat embarrassed.

"I heard that you have always liked 'Water Lilies.' I boldly completed the missing part and hope you won't mock me." Whenever Mr. Montague Senior called Selena, he would lament that the previously collected half of the 'Water Lilies' painting was incomplete. But even with just half, it was still a masterpiece. Now, hearing that Selena had completed the other half, his eyes lit up.

"How could Grandfather mock you? I have always approved of your painting skills, you talented child," he said. "Mr. Butler will not accept you as his disciple either." Mr. Butler is currently the representative of oil painting, and Selena is his only closed-door disciple. However, Selena is low-key and has not mentioned this identity to anyone in recent years. It just so happened that Mr. Butler knew Mr. Montague Senior and Selena happened to save the old man's face, which made Mr. Montague Senior have a strong liking for her, leading to the incident of her marrying Raymond.

Mr. Montague Senior eagerly opened the scroll. In the half-scroll that the old man had collected, there were only four people sitting on a luxurious blanket, with children serving by their side, and rocky trees interspersed, appearing elegant and chic.

However, this painting originally should have seven people, but three of them have been lost.

During her college years, Selena had an idea to repair this. Unlike other ancient paintings that were only damaged, this one was incomplete.

So she tried to paint it herself, spending several years copying th before daring to present it to the old man. A pleased smile appeared on Mr. Montague Senior's face. "If Mr. Butler knew that you are no longer participating in the competition, he would definitely be heartbroken."

A guilty expression appeared on Selena's face. "Grandfather ander finish my current task, I will start painting again." "That's good. Don't delay your talent. I really like this. I'll have someone hang it on the wall in the study later." A gentle smile appeared on Selena's face. She responded gracefully, "As long as you like it." "Selena, when do you plan to have a child with Raymond?" After Mr. Montague Senior finished speaking, he began to cough, covering his mouth.

A hint of confusion appeared in his eyes, as if he was trying to suppress the discomfort in his body.

Selena knew that Mr. Montague Senior's health was not good, so she didn't dare to say anything to refuse.

"Grandfather, I will do it as soon as possible."
