At this moment, Selena realized that him being chosen as the successor might not just be because. of his talent, but also because of the effort he put in.

Not everyone is naturally capable of this job and can bear this responsibility. She thought to herself as she consciously stayed away from the table with the computer and casually found a chair to sit on.

Raymond walked to the table, opened the documents, and picked up a pen to continue reviewing.

As he was working, he became even more aloof, emanating an aura that showed his apparent superiority which kept people at bay.

John entered with a few small dishes, paused when he saw Selena, and then continued making his

The dishes were all light and the porridge was made with plain rice, which suited Selena’s current situation well.

She didn’t dare to trouble Raymond to senop the porridge for her, so she quickly stood up to do it herself. But she saw Raymond’s exceptionally beautiful hands pick up the spoon and scoop a bowl of porridge, placing it in front of her.

Selena was stunned. Perhaps due to her low mood today, she didn’t know how to react to such kindness, and instinctively looked up at him.

Raymond did it so casually, but seeing the touch in her eyes softened his heart a bit. He couldn’t even describe what he was feeling.

Eat up: He finally said.

Selena snapped back to her senses and quickly took the small spoon, scooping a spoonful into her mouth. The porridge was cooked to a soft consistenry, and with just one bite, her stomach felt

Raymond took a deep breath to calm himself, it was just one meal. Although his impression of that woman had hit rock bottom, in this circle, who wouldn’t put on an act?

“Alright, I’ll come with her. Raymond finally agreed.

Mister Montague Senior was pleased with his quick agreement and laughed, then he hung up to call his granddaughter-in-law.

After ending the call, Raymond instantly lost his appetite and rubbed his forehead. Selena, who had heard about the grandfather’s upcoming return, could already guess that they would meet
