Chapter 394"No." Raymond looked at her and said, "I didn't drive my car here."Hearing this, Scarlett raised an eyebrow and said, "Mr. Shaw, would you like me to call for a taxi for you?"When Scarlett was speaking, her pretty eyes were slightly squinting, and the smile on her lips made Raymond itch for her.He looked at her with his dark eyes, and his Adam's apple moved slightly, but he looked away restrainedly in the end and said, "Scarlett, you'd better not smile at me like this outside."When Scarlett heard his words, her face flushed slightly, and she nodded, "OK."After She took out the car key and opened the door, Raymond voluntarily took the passenger seat.Before starting the car, Scarlett turned her head to glance at him and asked, "Don't you need to work this afternoon?""There is nothing urgent." Raymond leaned back, turned to look at her, and said, "Are you going back to the villa?""Yes." Scarlett raised an eyebrow, turned to look ahead, and pulled out into the
Chapter 395When Raymond came upstairs, Scarlett had already poured two glasses of water.She took a sip and then handed him the other glass.Raymond took it over, drank up the water, walked to the sofa while loosening his tie, and said, "Scarlett, come here."Scarlett didn't intend to go, so she said, "I'll go upstairs and change my clothes first."Because of the meeting with Edmund today, she had dressed up formally. When Raymond hugged her just now, her clothes made her feel not very comfortable.Raymond tilted his head while looking at her, and he didn't follow her up but remained on the sofa.After Scarlett went upstairs, he was left alone in the living room on the second floor. When he saw the glass Scarlett had left on the table, he frowned slightly, took out his mobile phone, and called Frank.Frank was hesitating whether to call Raymond to remind him of the pile of documents to be signed and ask him to come back to the office euphemistically, and he hadn't expected Ray
Chapter 396Raymond hugged her tightly, leaned back casually, and suddenly gave a low laugh, "Well, it's really sweet."Scarlett leaned against his chest, feeling as if his laughter and words were drifting into her heart through her ears.She lowered her head and couldn't help smiling.The sunlight of the afternoon penetrated through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the whole living room was quiet.Scarlett paused for a while, then looked up at Raymond, and said, "It's 1 pm now. Go to the guest bedroom to get some sleep."She hadn't noticed Raymond had dark circles under his eyes until she had gotten closer to him. Raymond had not lied. He indeed had not slept well last night.The fact that Scarlett had agreed to get back together with him was like a dream. He had doubted he was dreaming, so he had been afraid if he fell asleep, he would find everything was false when he woke up.He had been thinking about her grin when she had gotten into the car all night.He had also tho
Chapter 397Maybe Raymond was sleepy. He fell asleep in just a few minutes.Scarlet was trying to pull out her hand, which was held in Raymond’s hand. However, he held it tighter than before when she moved slightly. The sun shone brightly through the window. Raymond behaved himself when he was sleeping. He said he would just hold her hand. He meant what he said.Scarlet looked down at his face and his closed eyes. She found while he slept, he was not aloof and looked much more approachable. A gust of cold wind sprang up, lifting his collar. Scarlet raised her hand and put the light blanket over him. She went to bed early last night and didn’t want to take a nap now. However, Raymond held her hand and she could only stay there to accompany him. After sitting for a while, she was getting drowsy. However, the loud rings of the doorbell woke her up before she fell asleep. Scarlet frowned and looked at Raymond, who had just opened his eyes and stared at her. She took the
Chapter 398Scarlett was stunned for a moment and was amused by Alexis. "Do you only care about money?""What's wrong with that? People are always torn between money and love, so wouldn't it be better to just care about money?"For a moment, Scarlett felt that what Alexis said made sense. "Did Justin sign over all his property to you?"Alexis nodded. "Yes. Didn't I tell you? Ah, I was so happy that I forgot to tell you."Scarlett felt that Alexis was too lovey-dovey. She smiled slightly at Alexis. "You said this on purpose, didn't you?""Huh-uh."Alexis suddenly said seriously, "Anyway, no matter what you decide to do, be sure to make yourself happy. As long as you won't be as sad as before, I won't object to your remarrying him."Scarlett was touched. "Thank you.""Let's drop it. I was just shopping with Justin, but the paparazzi chased me! I'm so angry!"Yet she was also surprised to know that her bestie was in a relationship.Alexis felt a little sad.Scarlett raised an
Chapter 399Scarlett almost choked and glanced up at him. "What do you want me to tell her, Mr. Shaw?"Raymond found that Scarlett liked to call him Mr. Shaw when she was angry and Raymond when she was in a good mood.He looked at her and his thin lips hooked slightly. "The truth.""Oh, then I'm sorry."Scarlett grunted. "I told Alexis that you left something at my place and came over to get it.""If I had been there to get something, would I have been disheveled?"Hearing his words, Scarlett was stunned, remembering that he took off his tie and loosened his collar at that time. She suddenly felt that Raymond was crafty.She put down the glass with a laugh. "I said I got annoyed and beat you up."Raymond naturally didn't believe it, but he remembered what Scarlett said and knew he had no right to decide how Scarlett explained it to Alexis.No matter what Scarlett said to her friend, Scarlett and he could only claim that they were ordinary friends.Raymond suddenly felt a bit
Chapter 400"You can hold my hand if you're afraid."Scarlett clucked, looking at his outstretched hand and putting her hand in his.She was not afraid.It turned out that sometimes he couldn't believe what people said on the Internet.They said that if someone took his girlfriend to see a horror movie, his girlfriend would be scared, and there might be a surprise.Raymond looked at Scarlett, who was enjoying the movie. He decided to go back and report the poster to the Webmaster.That poster generalized about women. What he said was not rigorous or credible.Seeing that he didn't speak, Scarlett couldn't help raising an eyebrow. "Don't you like the movie?"She had been fond of suspenseful and horror films since she was a child. Alexis was timid. She had to spend several months recovering after being dragged by Scarlett to see a film.Raymond was silent. Scarlett thought he was afraid. "Are you afraid?""No.""Oh."Scarlett paused and looked at Raymond. "But you don't seem
Chapter 401After the call, Alexander didn't want to play in the pub all night. He signed, asked a designated driver to take him home, and went to sleep.It was not good to drink at this hour. He'd better go to bed now and play golf with Raymond tomorrow.Alexander thought he could invite Scarlett tomorrow to create an opportunity for Raymond!Ah, he was so smart!Alexander felt that he shouldered the burden of helping Raymond pursue his love. He woke up early the next morning and asked his friends to go golfing with him.Of course, the most important person was Scarlett!Saturday was a good time to sleep. However, Scarlett was woken up by the call before eight o'clock. She was annoyed. Seeing the strange caller ID, she directly dismissed the call.Yet that guy called her again after she dismissed two calls.Scarlett's sleepiness was gone. She answered the phone with no expression. "Hello, this is Scarlett.""Scarlett, it's me, Alexander!"Oh, so it was this fool.Scarlett
