Chapter 425 Scarlett heard the old man’s words, and she was touched. But she didn't want to mention Jessie again because, in any case, it was Jessie who accompanied her grandfather and Viviana before she came back to the family. Scarlett would have taken her sarcasm as a joke if Jessie hadn't intended to set her up. She was indifferent to it. "Grandpa, let's play chess!" "Yes! Don't let me win on purpose!" Scarlett glanced at Viviana, "Viviana, I'm playing chess with grandpa!" "Go ahead! Your grandpa doesn't have many hobbies. He just loves to play chess, but I'm not very good at it. I'm a lousy chess player." "But you're the best buyer in shopping!" Scarlett joked. She then followed the old man to the study to play chess. Scarlett didn't lose on purpose this time. In the end, she won narrowly by one draw. Although the old man lost, he was happy. "My granddaughter is a genius! Haha!" Scarlett poured a cup of tea for the old man, "Grand
Chapter 426Scarlett fastened her seat belt and glanced at Alexis, "Didn't I tell you not to come?""Come on, you're my best friend! How can I not pick you up?"Scarlett raised her eyebrows and revealed her real purpose, "You expect me to believe that shit? Those bags are the reason you picked me up, aren't they?"That day Viviana told Scarlett to give Alexis some bags. Viviana meant it. When she finished that, she bought two more bags and asked Scarlett to give them to Alexis.Scarlett told Alexis the night before. Therefore, Alexis came to the airport to meet her.For Alexis, the primary purpose she went to the airport was to pick up those bags, not to pick up Scarlett.Scarlett, who had been on the plane for two hours, was exhausted and leaned back in her seat, "Well, let's go. I'm weary.""Roger that, Ms. Reed."Scarlett was amused by her and glanced at her with a smile."Get some rest, Mr. Reed. I'll get you home safe and sound. Don't worry!""God, what a cheeky you are!
Chapter 427Before she could finish, her eyes brightened. She saw Raymond standing at the door and asked, "Shouldn't you be in the meeting right now, Mr. Shaw?""It's over."Raymond stared at her, pushed the door open, and went into the villa.He had never experienced the feeling of missing someone so much before. He was away on business for three days and managed to get back as soon as possible. However, Scarlett wasn't in Juanton City the day he returned. He was absent-minded during the meeting in the morning. As soon as the meeting ended, he drove to Scarlett's villa.Scarlett blushed under his gaze.She then turned around and went upstairs. After washing Raymond's cup, she poured him a cup of water, "Didn't you have a lunch date?""Frank will blow it off."The original date was the previous day, but Raymond was on a business trip and postponed it. Surprisingly, he even planned to cancel it."Well."Scarlett took a sip of her water.The villa was quiet. After a moment's si
Chapter 428Frank was scared, thinking that he hadn't made the call at the right time.Yet it was already noon. If Raymond didn't attend the party at twelve-thirty, Frank would be unable to handle the situation.Hearing what he said, Scarlett pushed Raymond away and sat beside him. "Didn't you say you've postponed the party?"Raymond stood up and suddenly pinched her ear. "Go with me."He took her hand.Scarlett grunted. "Did you forget what you promised me?""No."Raymond led her outside and got into the car. He then explained, "I'll ask Frank to arrange a private room for you next to it. You can wait for me there."Scarlett couldn't help laughing. "Frank will hate me, right?"There couldn't be many available private rooms in that restaurant, let alone the room next to theirs.Raymond's request would probably give Frank a headache.Raymond didn't say anything. Seeing her fasten her seat belt, he drove to the restaurant.He stopped at the red light and glanced at her. "Don
Chapter 429Frank was waiting anxiously at the door of the private room. When he saw Raymond, Frank was so happy that he almost wanted to cry.As his eyes fell on Scarlett, Frank was stunned for a moment, but he quickly recovered. "Mr. Shaw, Ms. Reed."Frank thought Raymond was so awesome. Raymond got back together with Scarlett so soon!Raymond nodded. "Arrange a room next to ours for Scarlett.""Okay."Frank answered, watching Raymond enter the room. Frank breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look at Scarlett. "Ms. Reed, please come with me."Fortunately, Frank was considerate. Raymond occasionally ate in another room after a party. This restaurant was popular, so he booked two rooms a few days earlier.Scarlett raised an eyebrow and followed Frank.Coincidentally, Scarlett bumped into Yvonne. Scarlett was just going to get even with her.Seeing Scarlett, Yvonne looked sullen. "Why are you here?"Scarlett glanced at her calmly and answered unhurriedly, "To have a meal."
Chapter 430Hearing what her friend said, Yvonne felt even more upset.Yvonne wondered what Scarlett did to the Tank family. They were very strict but now indifferent to the news and public opinion?Yvonne didn't know that she had been wrong from the beginning. They misunderstood Scarlett's relationship with the Tank family.In the restaurant.When Raymond came into the room, Scarlett had almost finished eating.As soon as the door was pushed open, Scarlett was aware of the smell of wine from Raymond.She raised her eyebrows and looked at him. "Did you drink?""Yes."Those old guys at the party were badgering him, so he could only drink three glasses of wine to come over earlier.Raymond sat beside her. "Is the soup good?""Yes."Yet Scarlett could only eat two-thirds of it.Hearing his question, Scarlett thought he wanted to eat soup. "Would you like some soup? I'll order it for you?""No need."He directly took her soup and ate it with a spoon unhurriedly.Scarlett wa
Chapter 431Scarlett struggled but couldn't break away from him. "Raymond, let go of me.""I can't."After drinking wine, he was even more unashamed than usual.Scarlett gave a wry smile. "Don't you want to know why I suddenly went to Deeton City?"Hearing this, Raymond got up.Scarlett sat up on the sofa with a red face, glaring at him. She got up, went into the kitchen to make a glass of honey water, and put it in front of him. "Drink it."He didn't ask anything, picked it up, and drained it.Raymond felt honey water was tasty for the first time, probably because it was made by Scarlett.After drinking, he stared fixedly at Scarlett.Scarlett grunted, took out the anonymous letter from her bag, and handed it to him. "Read it yourself."Raymond opened the envelope with a frown. After he read the letter, his eyes turned cold. "I'll find out who did it.""I've investigated."Katherine told Scarlett yesterday that it was Yvonne who did it. Besides, Yvonne asked someone to po
Chapter 432“Scarlett, I'm a little drunk, I feel like going to bed.” With that, Raymond closed his eyes without speaking again. But Raymond still held her tightly. Scarlett tried to pull his hand away, but she failed. She got up at six o'clock in the morning to catch the plane. She didn't sleep well during the flight due to the noise and she was a little tired now. It was the lunch break, and the sound of Raymond's breathing as he slept made her stupefy, and she soon fell asleep, too. When Raymond woke up, Scarlett was still asleep. The sun was shining brightly outside the window. Raymond reached for the remote control and closed the curtain, and the room suddenly darkened. After the divorce, he hadn't slept this well in a long time, even if it was only for forty minutes or so. After sleeping, Raymond was quite sober. Remembering what Scarlett had just said, his face turned cold. He carefully loosened his hand, went downstairs and took his mobile phone to call Frank. F
