Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 538 Even If You Desired to Divorce Raymond

In the throes of his anger, Mr. Montague Sr found himself suddenly rubbing his forehead with a wearied hand.

"Let him stew in his regret, I shan't lift a finger to help him," he declared, his voice echoing in the silence that followed his outburst.

"But why make him kneel?" the butler questioned, his voice a mere whisper against the storm of his rage.

"Why? Because he deserves to kneel, to feel the weight of his actions. Come dawn, I want him gone," Mr. Montague Sr. retorted, his voice a harsh bark in the quiet room. No sooner had the words left his mouth than the shrill ring of his phone pierced the silence. The caller ID flashed Selena's name, bringing a smile to the old man's face. "Selena," he greeted, his voice softening at the sound of her name.
