Love After Leaving: No Regret (Agnes and Raymond) novel Chapter 239

Chapter 239 Possession and Restraint

“I really feel like I’m about to lose my mind…”

Agnes stopped struggling and stood there quietly, feeling the faint tremble in his body.

Did Raymond think I came to Wenmark to see Neal?

After a long moment, she finally spoke in a calm voice, “I came to Wenmark to find a specialist for my father.”

The moment the words left her lips, she clearly felt the tension in his body begin to ease.

“So… you didn’t come here for Neal?”

Agnes replied, “No…”

Raymond said, “Then just now, I saw you two go into the hotel together… Did you two…”

Agnes’s tone remained steady. “There’s nothing between us. He just walked me back.”

A spark of hope suddenly lit up in Raymond’s deep eyes, his voice tinged with apology.

“I’m sorry. I overreacted just now. I thought…”

Agnes, a little annoyed, pushed him away and asked. “You thought what? Why are you in Wenmark? Why were you following me?”

Raymond hesitated. “I was worried about you. When I called you this morning and heard you were in Wenmark, I started panicking.

“I told you before, if anything comes up, just tell me. Don’t just disappear like that.

“When I can’t see you, I lose my mind…”

Agnes said, a bit speechless, “Raymond, don’t you have anything else to do?”

Raymond stood there blankly, not knowing how to explain himself.

He really did want to be by her side 24/7. Every second he couldn’t see her made him restless.

“I’m sorry, I misunderstood. You said you came to find a doctor for your dad?

“Actually, you didn’t have to come yourself. I could’ve helped you…”

Agnes shook her head. “I prefer handling my own matters. It’s getting late. You…”

Halfway through, she suddenly remembered they were in Wenmark and asked, “Where are you staying?”

Raymond replied “I-I’m staying next door.”

Before coming, Raymond had already found out where Agnes was staying.

The rooms next to hers were originally fully booked, but he spent extra money to reserve the entire floor

So no matter which room she stayed in, he could always say he was next door.

Agnes shoved him out impatiently.

“Then go get some rest. Good night. And stop following me.”

She realized this man was becoming more shameless by the day.

Raymond casually kept talking to her, “I heard there’s a breakfast spot here that’s really good…”

He continued dragging her along, completely ignoring Neal’s darkening expression behind them.

The three of them arrived at a high-end restaurant.

No matter what Neal recommended for Agnes, Raymond found hundreds of reasons to shoot it down.

Neal said, “Agnes, the shrimp here is pretty good. You should try them.”

Raymond said, “The ocean’s been heavily polluted lately, so seafood isn’t safe. What, Mr. Ruell, don’t you follow the news?”

Neal’s expression darkened, but he ignored Raymond and continued looking at the menu as he said to Agnes, “This dessert is also good. Agnes, you like this.”

Raymond let out a faint scoff and said, “Too much sugar. Agnes’s blood sugar runs a little high, so she shouldn’t eat overly sweet food. You didn’t know that?”

The anger in Neal’s chest was close to spilling over. Raymond was clearly provoking him on purpose.

If Agnes weren’t here, he might’ve already lost control and started a fight.

He suppressed his frustration and smiled at Agnes.

“Sorry, Agnes, that was my oversight. Then how about this white truffle soup? it’s light, and-”

Raymond interrupted, “Is this even the right season for white truffles? At this time of year, the quality is terrible. What’s going on with you-”
