EuropeNovelChapter 3 You Don't Deserve Him Nick was smiling and he was neatly dressed. But still, Selena felt uncomfortable under his gaze. She replied coldly while handing over Alice's medicine to him. "I've already seen her. Please give it to Beatrice." Nick raised an eyebrow and said meaningfully, "Why not go upstairs together with me? It has been so long since we last met." "Sorry, but I'm kind of in the middle of something urgent." Selena handed over the medicine before turning around and leaving the lobby directly.
As Nick saw her off, he couldn't help but smirk, 'A young woman with anti-inflammatory drugs at the OB-GYN? What a slut! Well, it makes sense since her husband has been away for three years. I'll have my chance sooner or later.' *** Selena got into her car, feeling somewhat depressed. When Beatrice moved in with Alice and Nick, Selena suggested that it wouldn't be proper for her to live in the splace with Nick, who was not related to her through blood. Thus, she tried to advise that maybe Nick could move out and live alone.
Yet James didn't wanna upset Beatrice and Alice, so he hedged. Selena didn't wanna frustrate James, so she moved out.
'Now I seem to be the outsider,' Selena thought to herself.

Taking a deep breath after letting her phone ring for a while, Selena finally picked it up. "Hello, Mrs. Montague." It was Catherine Montague, Raymond's mother, on the other end of the line.
Ever since they got married, her high-born and snobbish mother-in-law was never satisfied with her. Selena knew better than to provoke her. Thus, she tried to keep a distance from the Montague family except for visiting Cassius from tto time.
"I hope you can cto the Montague family so we can discuss your divorce face-to-face," Catherine spoke frankly. She was afraid that Selena would refuse, so she took the lead and said, "Selena, you should know that you only managed to marry my son because we couldn't resist Cassius' pressure back then. Now that Raymond has taken over the Montague family, Cassius won't mind his business for him." She was suggesting that Selena divorce Raymond.
Catherine originally thought Selena would cry and make a scene since no woman could bear to let go of such a perfect husband. But on the phone, Selena responded calmly without any hesitation or emotion, "Okay, should I go there now?" It was as if Selena had been waiting for the day to come.
Catherine was somehow offended by Selena's calmness. Though she was eager to see Raymond divorce her, she was expecting a much stronger fightback before that. After all, girls would kill to win her son over.
To make herself feel better, Catherine snorted coldly. "I'm glad that you agree. You don't deserve Raymond. He deserves someone much better than you. Cover now. I've also called Raymond and he'll be here soon." Selena paused when she heard that Raymond would be there too. She wondered, 'If he knows that the woman he slept with last night will soon bechis ex-wife, what will he do? I'm sure someone as proud as him will be embarrassed.' Selena chuckled lightly and headed towards Wolfland, the Montague's villa.
Catherine looked unhappy when seeing Selena. In fact, she was never happy to see Selena. But since Selena wasn't making a scene, Catherine didn't find too much fault with her, either.
"Don't blme for being blunt," Catherine said while sitting on the sofa after Selena arrived. "You should know what kind of situation your family is in right now." "Yes, I do," replied Selena. She nodded in agreement.

"A kind reminder for you. Since your dad wasn't born to be a businessman, he'd better give up as m soon as possible. The Montague e family can help him once but not twice. Plus, your stepmother is still eyeing my family's position and wealth. You're nothing but a troublemaker. I don't see anything in you at all. You're just not good enough for him."
"You're right," Selena said calmly without any resistance or argument. All she had with had with Raymond with the marriage certificate. They were not much different from strangers. The divorce was a relief for her. Catherine was upset by Selena's obedience. She didn't feel the joy of winning a battle at all.
Just then, the sound of a car braking outside interrupted.
It was Raymond who had returned home.
Catherine stood up excitedly and walked towards the door while "ŏm Selena watched in anticipation, trying to control her nerves despite being mentally prepared to face Raymond already.
