Chapter 967 Love Is Selfish John wanted to stick up for Selena, but he was just as clueless about why she bailed.
Honestly, John felt a bit let down. He thought Selena would hang in there a bit longer. Even if she couldn't do much, at least it would show she cared about Raymond. But now, she threw in the towel way too soon, making him wonder if she ever really liked Raymond.

It was already getting dark outside.
That night, a lot of folks were gonna be up all night.
Everyone was dying to know what would happen with the Montague family and what fate had in store for Raymond.

At seven in the evening, she tried the number again. This tit connected for a few seconds but then hung up.
She sat by the window, watching the river with a few boats on it.
Selena watched for an hour before her phone buzzed with a message giving her a store name.
She quickly grabbed the ring and the letter, got up, and started asking around about the store.
Once there, she followed a waiter into the courtyard.
There was a big tree in the courtyard, shading the whole yard. It was pretty beautiful.
From the moment Selena walked through the door, it felt like she had stepped into another world.
Under the tree stood a person, hidden in the shadows, just a vague silhouette.
Selena opened her mouth to call out, but then remembered this wasn't the sguy who used to pat her head and tell her to study and paint hard. He had broken his promise and disappeared for six years.

Selena frowned a bit and was about to say something else when he turned around.
His face was more mature than she remembered, but still gentle.
Selena was momentarily speechless, remembering how she had cried over that letter for a long time. Now she smiled with relief, "Long tno see, Mario." Christopher sighed, raised his hand, and ruffled her hair, "Cwith me." Then he turned and walked into a nearby corner.
Selena was a bit taken aback but quickly followed.

Christopher didn't speak.
Selena said, "Thanks for the letter, Mario, but the promise has expired, so I can't accept this gift."
After all, it was a gift from a guy she once had feelings for. Raymond Was so narrow-minded, he would definitely be mad. En.nov bread content.
When she got back to Silver Bay City, she needed to seriously think about her relationship with Raymond and explain things to Richard. She had to take this step. Christopher suddenly leaned down and quickly whispered something in her ear before stepping back. He said, "Take good care of that little thing." He was talking about the fingernail-sized chip.
Selena hadn't brought it with her this time.
She wanted to ask what it was.
But Christopher's expression changed. "Selena, don't go back to Silver Bay City for now. Rest here for a few days." "But..." Before she could finish, she smelled a floral scent and passed out.
A gloomy male voice sounded, "Christopher, admit it. You just want her and Raymond to have a conflict and break up." Christopher shot back, "I'm not you."
The man said, "You love her, don't you? Love is selfish. You can't just hand her over to Raymond You met her first Raymond can't compare to you in any way. How can he be with such a beautiful woman? Selena should be yours."
