Selena popped some stomach meds, her forehead slick with cold sweat.
Ann nced in the rearview mirror, thought for a bit, and said, "Ms. Fair, there''s a buzz going around that Mr. Montague is with some youngdy from the Smith family abroad. He totally nailed it this time. Everyone''s talking about him." Selena forced a smile; so he had already won.
She''d been worried about him, but finding out he won didn''t surprise her. He was always meant to win.
Seeing no further instructions, Ann hit the gas.
Back at Ashbourne Manor, Selena walked into the living room and immediately spotted Blizzard sitting upright on the couch.
She still thought it was a dog, not knowing it was actually a wolf.
"Blizzard," she called out. Blizzard raised its head majestically, looking all aloof.
For some reason, Selena thought it looked a lot like Raymond.
She asked Fiona, "What''s it been eatingtely?"
Fiona replied, "All imported beef. This dog is super picky."
Selena smiled gently, a touch of tenderness in her eyes, "Well, it''s Raymond''s dog. It must''ve been well-fed before." Blizzard shook itself and stretchedzily.
Fiona''s eyes were full of affection. "Ms. Fair, honestly, I''ve never seen such a big dog. No one knows what breed it is."
At that moment, Blizzard jumped off the couch, leaping high andnding smoothly, like it was hunting.
Selena sat on the couch, her tone a bit low due to her stomach difort, "Whatever it is, it''s pretty likable and really smart."
When shey down, Blizzard tilted its head and watched her from the side.
Selena felt at ease. After resting for an hour, the pet hospital called, saying she could bring Max home.
She quickly got up, went out, and drove to pick up Max.
Max still needed to recuperate at home. At least for now, he seemed fine. When he saw Selena, Max almost broke through the ss door. Selena settled the remaining medical bills, hugged Max''s neck, thanked the doctor again, and then took him to the car.
But from the moment Max smelled Selena, his fur almost stood on end, a sign of danger.
Selena brought him back to Ashbourne Manor.
As soon as Max entered, he saw an animal three times his size.
Blizzard was too tall and too strong, full of intimidation.
Max was so scared that he instantly hid behind Selena.
Selena patted his head, "Max, I was afraid you''d be bored, so I brought apanion for you. How do you feel? Touched?" Max''s body stiffened as if he couldn''t walk.
Blizzard walked over elegantly, circling around him.
For a moment, Selena felt she saw contempt in its eyes, as if saying, "You''re lucky to live under the same roof as me."
Indeed, people raised dogs that resemble them.
She found it amusing and shook her head slightly.
Max let out a low bark, afraid that barking too loudly would anger Blizzard.
Selena untied his leash, but he didn''t run around the house as usual. Instead, he followed closely at her heels, afraid that if she let go, he would be lost.
For two days straight, Max behaved the same.
Selena had no choice but to call Raymond. But he didn''t answer.
She looked at the disconnected call, lowered her eyes in disappointment, and then called John, "Mr. Walker, the big dog Raymond sentst time doesn''t get along with Max. Can youe and take it back when you have time?" John looked at Raymond sitting in the office chair, not knowing what to do for a moment.
John then said, "Ms. Cooper, Mr. Montague is still in a meeting. I''ll ask him after the meeting," After saying that, he hung up.
John asked, "Mr. Montague, Ms. Cooper wants you to take Blizzard back."
Raymond looked at the document in his hand without speaking.
Just when John thought he wouldn''t say anything, he put down the document, "You go pick it up."
Raymond''s tone was indifferent, and his face showed no expression.
John was a bit stunned. ording to Raymond''s usual character, he should have left Blizzard at Ashbourne Manor, giving him more opportunities to see Selena.
Now, Raymond quietly asked John to take Blizzard back. Did this mean Raymond wanted topletely cut ties with Selena?
