Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 826 Gently Held Her

Selena sat in the car, dead silent. John was up front driving, and Raymond was right next to her.

Their legs were touching, and he could feel her warmth through the thin fabric.

The car's dim light and the streetlights outside cast shifting shadows on her face.

This play of light and shadow made it easy for one's mind to wander.

From the moment they got in the car until now, ten minutes had passed, and Selena's gaze had been glued to her phone, like he didn't even exist. Raymond went from feeling pissed to just plain helpless.

He noticed Selena had one hand on her knee, looking like she was deep in thought.

She probably felt annoyed, so she leaned back and closed her eyes.

Her right hand held her phone, her left hand rested on her knee, her brow slightly furrowed, and her eyelids closed, looking all peaceful.

Raymond hesitated for a minute before slowly reaching out and gently holding the hand she had on her knee.

Selena's body stiffened. She opened her eyes, her gaze meeting his deep pupils.
