NovelEnglishChapter 179 No More Pretending After Raymond was shown the way by Selena, she didn't want to inconvenience him and tried to keep her distance from him while standing.
But once they entered the selevator, her legs felt weak and she couldn't help but lean against the cold wall behind her.
Raymond reached out and grabbed her hand without thinking twice about offeried her additional support. When the elevator doors opened on the fifth floor, Selena trembled as she tried to find her keys in her bag, but her vision was blurred and she struggled to slide the key into the keyhole.
Raymond couldn't bear to see her struggle, so he took over.

Suddenly, the sound of a dog barking cfrom inside the house. Max, who had heard the sound of the keys, becexcited and ran towards them on all fours. When Max saw Raymond, his tail wagged even harder as if it was about to break off.
Raymond hesitated but ultimately didn't say anything; after all, it wasn't the first the had encountered this dog.
"Mr. Montague, please just letsit on the couch. Thank you," Selena requested, feeling a bit dazed.
Due to her confusion, she didn't reach out to pat Max's head. Max barked a few times but didn't receive a response.
Instead of feeling disappointed, he looked at Raymond eagerly. It seemed like Max really liked Raymond and laid down beside him immediately. Raymond couldn't help but smile at Max's enthusiastic behavior.
He helped Selena onto the couch, but as soon as Selena made contact with the couch, she couldn't help but grimace in discomfort and sat upright. Raymond wanted to lend a supporting hand, but seeing that the couch was soft and wouldn't hurt her, he withdrew his hand.
The layout of the room was warm, but it didn't seem like a place where a man lived.
Did she separate from her husband? Or did they move in a hurry and haven't had a chance to move the husband's belongings? Either way, there shouldn't be only women's shoes in the entrance.
At this moment, Max barked a few times and eagerly circled around Raymond, rubbing her head against Raymond's leg. Raymond noticed the dog hair on his suit pants and furrowed his brow. He got up to leave, but Max blocked his way and barked anxiously. Selena was awakened by the noise and, in her drowsy state, saw Max rubbing against Raymond's pants, which startled her. "Max!" she scolded, and Max retreated with his tail between his legs. Raymond's expression darkened, and his words sounded blunt.

Max bit onto Raymond's pants, causing him to remember an old memory about "Perhaps the child accidentally cinto contact with the dog's saliva, causing his complexion to turn completely dark." "Upon seeing that, Selena beccompletely alert and weakly got up, walking over to embrace him." 'For sreason, Max has always liked Raymond, including running away from hand being able to encounter Raymond.' "Mr. Montague, I apologize." Looking at the slightly moist pants cuff of the high-end suit, Selena felt a bit at a loss, especially considering Raymond's allergy to dog hair. She knew deep down he couldn't stand it. Raymond didn't say anything, but his presence felt heavy.
He gazed deeply at Selena, noticing a hint of vulnerability on her face, and then looked away.
"Take your medication and rest, don't don't push yourself too hard next time." The tone lacked emotion, indicating his desire to quickly leave.
"Alright, thank you Mr. Montague."
Raymond barely looked back, but as soon as he opened the door, he saw V a person standing outside, about to knock on the door. It was Lillian. Seeing his face, a touch of shock flashed through Lillian's pupils, and she quickly took a few steps back. "Mr. Montague?" PLAY GAMES ON EPICPLAY FUSION LUPP
