Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 572 Never Had Feelings Selena had been here for two hours, verbally agreeing to Austin's request to cto S.M.

Selena had been observing the extras around her, but so far, she hadn't found anyone who caught her eye. Then she spotted Alex there.

Alex was earnestly discussing something with the director, and after finishing, he cto her side asking, "Penny, are you leaving?" Selena nodded, and the two walked out of the set together, stopping in front of Alex's car. Alex asked, "Raymond hasn't cto see you recently. You've been with him for so long, and you really haven't felt anything?" 'Feelings?' Selena thought to herself.

Selena had initially considered this question, but now she was awake.

Perhaps she had been shaken for a moment, but that was solely due to the sexual allure Raymond presented.

"I've never had feelings. I'm fully aware of my relationship with Mr. Montague." "I haven't felt anything. I'm very clear about my relationship with Mr. Montague." Alex glanced inside the car and smiled. "You really don't like him at all?" "Mr. Reed, I don't have a habit of self-torture." Her tone was light as she took out her phone to check the time.

"I have something to do later, so I won't chat anymore. Goodbye." Alex nodded, and only after she left did the car window in front of him slowly roll down, revealing Raymond inside.

Just now, the window had been slightly open, and Raymond had heard every word Selena said. Each word was like a knife.

In that moment, Raymond felt as if something sharp had pierced directly into the deepest part of his heart. According to his pride, he should have opened the car door and questioned her.

Since she felt nothing, why did she always call out so passionately every tthey made love? Why did she always go weak in the knees and look at him with those eyes that seemed to beckon him? But Raymond showed nothing. He just lowered his head to look at the documents, seemingly indifferent to her words.

Alex stood outside the window, his face a mix of amusement and seriousness.

"Penny is much calmer than other women," Alex commented.

"I know," Raymond said in a subdued tone.

"Aren't you angry?" Alex asked.

"I don't need to be," Raymond replied.

Alex then got into the car, and John drove in front.

Continuing with a meaningful tone, Alex said, "As I said before, if you really like her, have a proper relationship with her, compensate her properly after the breakup, especially since you're getting divorced in about a month and a half." Raymond held a pen, reviewing the documents. Upon hearing this, his face remained expressionless. "Do you think I can't live without her? I've made it clear to her before. It's just a gfor adults, nothing serious. If she takes it seriously, then I'll find it troublesome," Raymond replied.

Seeing that Raymond refused to admit it, Alex raised an eyebrow and fell silent.

After Selena left there, she went to the Fair family mansion.

As Selena reached the second floor, she saw a basin of blood being carried out from James's room.

The servant was startled to see Selena, "Ms. Fair." Although Selena was well aware that James didn't have much tleft, witnessing this scene still made her feel uneasy.

She rested her fingertips on the door handle, hesitated for a moment, and then pushed the door open.

Inside, James could be heard coughing hoarsely.

He sat at the bedside, visibly thinning at a rapid pace.

Selena's steps faltered, suddenly unable to recall James's former spirited self.

"Selena." James raised his grayish eyes to look at her, devoid of any spark.

Selena clenched her hands tightly to keep herself from losing control.

"Dad." She called out, noticing many tissues in the trash can beside him. She asked, "How are you feeling?" Speaking was already difficult for James.

"I may not make it another half month," James said with difficulty.

Selena's nose tingled upon hearing him continue slowly, "I was wrong Ο about what happened before. I'm sorry Dad, we still haven't found out about the child's whereabouts. I don't think I can do it. I'm so sorry."

"In the future... Just informat my tomb... That would be sufficient. After you leave today, don't cto seeanymore, l'ix horrified by my own state. Go... Go arrange my final resting place. Everyone has to depart at spoint." Selena sat in silence. Only after a long while did she say, "In a month and a half, Raymond and I will be getting divorced." "Good, that's fine. Since you don't love him," James replied.

James had no energy left. The words he had just spoken were forced, and he suddenly stared blankly outside as his voice becfaint.

"When I used to set up my stall, you had a small bed of about 10 square feet under the booth. I would and m negotiate with customers, and Barbara would crouch down to take care of you. The streetlights weren't very bright back then. Whenever you cried, the customers would impatiently leave, and we had to comfort you." Selena couldn't bear to listen any longer. She quickly patted his back, worried that his sudden alertness was a sign of a fleeting return to clarity.

"Dad, you should rest first." James was indeed tired, his lips turning pale. "My burial plot should be set in Silver Bay City. I can't face Barbara in Ridgefield." "Alright, in Silver Bay City, I'll go choose one later." "Mm." James closed his eyes.

With red eyes, Selena extended her trembling fingertips to his nose.

James still had a faint breath, but it was so weak, as if it could disappear at any moment.
