Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 429 The Relationships between Men and Women

When Raymond returned to the bed, Selena, still in a daze, snuggled up to him, her arm wrapped around his waist. He turned to his side and carefully observed her face the delicate and prominent bridge of her nose, her fine skin, eyelashes not particularly long but thick. Even with her hair cut short, there was an innate sense of meekness when she slept. Unable to resist, he hugged her tightly and kissed her forehead as if he were caring for a white cat. Selena woke up from his caress and, looking at his face, suddenly smiled.

"It must be fake."

She referred to the letter she had seen that day; after all, he was lying right beside her.

Selena was dreaming, and after she spoke, she fell back into sleep.

But Raymond felt as if his heart had been firmly struck by her smile, leaving it both sore and tingling.

"What's fake?"

Raymond wanted to get to the bottom of it.

Selena half-opened her eyes again, her voice soft.

"You...."

The sleepy drawl in her tone caused Raymond's heart to contract sharply.
