Chapter 36 Not Anymore

• The car ride to Raymond mansion was filled with silence. None of them speaks to each other. Lina was busy looking at the moving scenery through the window of the movie car. They both have their own thoughts.
• Raymond's gaze remained fixed on the road ahead, his mind replaying the unexpected encounter with Ashley at the airport. He had received news of her returning a month ago, before traveling abroad. Her sudden appearance today sparked a mix of emotions, frustration, annoyance, and a hint of unease.
• How did she know he was returning today? Was it mere coincidence or had she been stalking him? The thought sent a shiver down his spine. He couldn't shake off the feeling that Ashley's reappearance was more than just a casual encounter.
