Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 1261 Christopher is Planning to Get Engaged to Selena

Helen laughed softly on the other end of the line. He then said, "Perfect. I emailed you the details earlier but followed up when I hadn't heard back. Jason's missing daughter is likely somewhere in Silver Bay City."

"Understood," Raymond replied.

After ending the call, Raymond massaged his temples. Sleep deprivation had left him with a pounding headache, though his body remained oddly alert, as if wound too tight.

He decided to visit Sky Gallery to see the "new merchandise" Alex had mentioned.

The women at Sky Gallery were always exceptional; Alex himself had one sitting beside him.

No sooner had Raymond taken his seat than a young woman in a white t-shirt slid next to him. She had an innocent look-hair pulled back in a simple ponytail, and clear, guileless eyes.

"Would you like a drink, Mr. Montague?" she offered.

When she turned to face him fully, Raymond froze. The resemblance to Selena was uncanny not just her features, but her entire demeanor.

She reminded him of high school Selena. After William's death, Raymond had discovered a photograph at The Montague Villa-clearly one of William's treasures. In it, teenage Selena wore a white t-shirt and ponytail, holding flowers, likely a school picture.

That single glimpse into Selena's past had become Raymond's secret obsession, hidden from everyone.

This girl before him was like seeing that photograph come to life-pure, gentle, with a beautiful smile.
