Chapter 196 Did She Really Have a Husband?
"Cheating?" Selena was a bit puzzled.
If this had happened to any other guy, it wouldn't be surprising at all.
But everyone knew Raymond was loyal to Olivia, no other women in the picture. So, who did he cheat with?
Clearly, Selena hadn't thought of herself in this scenario.
After all, she knew she was his wife, which was a legally recognized relationship, so it didn't count as cheating.
Seeing Selena's shocked expression, Raymond's lips curved slightly. "Yes, cheating."
Although Selena wasn't big on gossip, if it was about her husband Raymond, she was all ears.
However, since Raymond was still her client for now, she didn't want to show too much interest and risk annoying him.
Selena looked at Raymond and said, "I’m curious about what kind of woman could make Mr. Montague cheat."
After saying this, Selena suddenly had a realization, thinking, 'Could the person he cheated with be me?'
Raymond got whipped because of her?
Selena thought of Grace, since Grace had returned to the Montague Villa with Raymond.
If Grace had said something to William, making him think Raymond had another woman, then this whipping was indeed related to her.
Seeing Selena's expression, Raymond knew she had figured it out.
She was sharp with people, but when it came to matters between men and women, she was surprisingly naive.
Selena suddenly felt uneasy, more convinced that she had to keep her identity a secret.
Raymond had suffered such a severe injury this time, it would take about a month to heal. If he found out that the person he "cheated" with was his nominal wife, the Selena that William mentioned, he would be extremely frustrated.
Even with Raymond's good temper, he would probably hold her accountable.
Selena originally didn't want to stay and take care of Raymond. After all, being alone like this could easily lead to ambiguous situations, especially in a hotel.
But now that she knew the reason for his injuries, and that she was the culprit, she couldn't leave no matter what.
Moreover, that spiked drink that night came from the Fair family, making Raymond look completely innocent.
Selena took a deep breath and said, "Mr. Montague, I'll stay tonight."
After saying this, Selena felt the atmosphere in the room become even more subtle.
Raymond's gaze fell on her, indifferent, cool, and a bit complicated. "So, a married woman alone with a guy in a hotel. Your husband’s cool with that?"
Who exactly was her husband to be so tolerant?
Selena immediately took out her phone and called Lucas, starting her act. "Hello, Lucas, Mr. Montague, who helped me before, is injured. I'll stay here tonight to take care of him. Don't worry, I'll be back early tomorrow."
Selena's voice was very gentle, looking like a woman in a happy marriage.
Lucas was tutoring his disabled sister when he received the call.
Hearing Selena's words, he suddenly felt a bit nervous. "Alright, take care. I'll come pick you up tomorrow."
Selena nodded, thinking of something.
Tomorrow was Saturday, and since Lucas said that, he must not be busy.
As long as she and Raymond left the hotel together, Raymond would definitely see Lucas, and that would completely dispel his doubts.
Raymond heard Selena and the person on the other end of the call exchange words, his brows furrowing. Did she really have a husband?
Selena hung up the phone, looking relaxed, and said, "He has agreed, Mr. Montague."
Raymond didn't say anything, feeling a sudden tightness in his chest.
It must be because the windows in the room were closed, making it hard to breathe.
He got up, surrounded by a cold aura, saying, "No need. Go back and don't make your husband worry."
Selena felt that their conversation was a bit strange, but she pressed on, "Mr. Montague, I'll sleep on the sofa. If you need anything during the night, you can call me."
Having said this much, and after making the call, Raymond didn't want to continue the topic with her and went straight into the room.
