Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 1021 The Point Is Not Whether He Likes Me

Richard slammed the phone down, fuming.

Tessa shot him a furious look. "Seems like you and Selena are pretty tight."

Richard plopped down next to her. "Tessa, Raymond's not into you. He's got someone else. Why are you still hung up on him?"

Tessa's lips curled into a sneer. "Richard, it's not about whether he likes me. It's about whether I want him. If you won't help, I'll get Lawrence to." Richard's face tightened. He knew Lawrence would do anything for Tessa, and with Wind backing her, getting rid of Selena would be a breeze. Tessa spat out, "You've fallen for that witch too. Get out. I don't need your help."

Richard felt a pang of disappointment. Tessa was the family's darling, and her heart condition meant everyone had to coddle her.

"Have you taken your meds?" Richard asked, concerned. "Wind said you're not well. Let me help you."

He grabbed the medicine from the table and a glass of warm water, trying to hand it to her, but Tessa slapped it away.

"Do you like Selena?" Tessa glared at him.
