Chapter 542They were going too far!Seeing Stephen walking over, Scarlett stopped teasing Alexander. "Mr. James, happy birthday.""Thank you."Stephen nodded. His eyes fell on Raymond. Seeing that Raymond was gazing affectionately at Scarlett, Stephen tutted. "Congratulations.""Thank you."Raymond accepted it without ceremony.There were a lot of guests tonight. They were all acquaintances of the same circle.Cindy was also here. Hearing that Scarlett came, she ran over. "Scarlett!"After graduating, Cindy started to work. She had been busy for the past few months. Scarlett hadn't seen her for several months.Scarlett tilted her head and glanced at Raymond. "I'll go with Cindy."Raymond let go of her hand. "Okay."Scarlett smiled, going to the other side with Cindy.Raymond fixed his eyes on Scarlett until he couldn't see her.Seeing this, Alexander got goosebumps and gulped. "Raymond, don't you feel you're disgusting?"Raymond glared at him. "Have you ever been in lov
Chapter 543Cindy led Scarlett to a small corner. After making sure Raymond didn't follow them, Cindy asked in a low voice, "Scarlett, are you back with Raymond?"Scarlett glanced at Cindy with a smile. "Do you think I'm not worthy of Raymond?""No! He's the one who is unworthy of you!"Cindy had thought that Scarlett just liked Raymond, but after the anniversary celebration of Juanton University, Cindy realized how much effort Scarlett had made out of love for Raymond.Scarlett was cursed viciously as she married Raymond. She came alone to Juanton City, which was far from her hometown, because of Raymond. Cindy was shocked.Raymond was good, but in Cindy's opinion, Scarlett deserved someone better.Hearing this, Scarlett slightly raised her eyebrows. "Is Raymond very ugly?"Cindy shook her head. "No."If Raymond were ugly, then ninety-nine percent of the men in this world would be bad-looking."Is he incapable?"Cindy continued to shake her head. "No, I don't think so."Ra
Chapter 544"Oh."Scarlett answered. As she thought that what she just said was heard by Raymond, her face grew hotter and hotter.She sipped her juice and glanced around. When she saw Alexander, Scarlett couldn't help raising her eyebrows. "Is Alexander chatting with a woman?"Raymond looked over, seeing Alexander talking with a woman.Raymond had never seen that woman before. She should not be in their circle."Yes."Scarlett tutted. "It seems that Alexander will soon have a girlfriend.""Not necessarily."Scarlett withdrew her eyes, smiling at Raymond. "Why?""He is too silly to chase women."Scarlett laughed. "You seem to be right."Scarlett was used to going to bed early. The two of them didn't stay long at Noble Club.When they returned to the villa, it was already after nine o'clock. Scarlett yawned just as she entered the house.She got up early this morning and didn't take a nap at noon, so she was a bit drowsy.Raymond came out of the kitchen with a glass of wa
Chapter 545When Scarlett woke up, the sunlight outside the curtains was bright. The alarm clock that rang every day at seven o'clock had been turned off. The room was quiet. Raymond was not here.What happened last night flashed across her mind like an old silent movie. Scarlett blushed.She touched her hot cheeks, glancing at the tightly closed curtains. "Hilla, open the curtains."Her voice was husky.Scarlett was embarrassed. She hurriedly got up and went into the bathroom.After washing up, she picked up her phone. It was almost nine o'clock.The sun blazed down. Scarlett walked downstairs, hearing Raymond's voice from inside the living room.Through the screen, Scarlett saw Raymond talking on the phone in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.She had thought he had gone to his company.Noticing the gaze from behind him, Raymond looked back. His eyes fell on Scarlett and moved slightly."Postpone the meeting until this afternoon."After saying that, Raymond directly hu
Chapter 546He could make simple porridge, but he had never cooked dishes."I trust you!""Okay."Half an hour later, Scarlett was standing outside the kitchen, looking at Raymond who was wearing an apron. She was lost in thought.She just said that on a whim, but unexpectedly, Raymond asked someone to send the ingredients over.Scarlett's mother was bad at cooking. Her father cooked for them. Sometimes Scarlett's mother asked her to cook with her father, but Scarlett always burnt the ingredients.Scarlett's mother watched by her side, asking with amusement and concern, "You can't cook. What if you have to cook after getting married?"Whenever this happened, Scarlett's father would say, "My sweetie is so pretty and smart. Who would ask her to cook? She can marry a man who is willing to cook for her."If her dad were still alive, he would like Raymond.What a pity!"What are you thinking about, baby?"A low mellow voice suddenly came over. Scarlett came out of her trance. Sh
Chapter 547"Scarlett, it's time to eat."Raymond's voice brought Scarlett's thoughts back to the present. She turned to walk out.Raymond put four dishes on the table.She had to admit that cooking was something about talent.Scarlett hadn't got the makings of a good cook. She could destroy the kitchen, while Raymond was talented. They all cooked according to the recipes, but the dishes made by him were as delicious as those of the restaurants.After lunch, Scarlett got up to clean the kitchen. Raymond stopped her. "I'll do it.""But you cooked. Let me wash the dishes. It's fair.""I don't want fairness."Raymond glanced at her, taking the fork from her hand.There was a dishwasher in the kitchen. They didn't need to wash the dishes by themselves. Yet hearing this from Raymond, Scarlett was happy."Raymond, do you want to see my grandfather?"Raymond froze, turning to look at her. "Can I?"Scarlett looked at him with a smile. "No."Raymond held her hand, ignoring what
Chapter 548Raymond was so talkative.Yet he was soon called away by Frank. Scarlett was left alone in the villa. She sat on the bed. For the first time, she felt that the bed was a little big and empty.They had sex until late last night. They fell asleep at nearly midnight. Although she got up late, she still felt tired.Scarlett napped for a long time this afternoon until her phone rang. She reached for it in a daze. The moment she saw the caller ID, Scarlett's mind instantly cleared.The call was from the Tank family, most likely from Rowan."Grandpa?""Scarlett, are you busy? Did I bother you?""No. I'm not busy today."Scarlett was thirsty. She went downstairs, poured a glass of water, and sat on the sofa chatting with Rowan."Have you been busy lately?""No. How are you, Grandpa?"Scarlett knew that if there was nothing special, Rowan wouldn't call her.Scarlett guessed why he called her, but just half-correctly."I'm fine. Don't worry about me."Rowan continued a
Chapter 549Rowan said he would come to Juanton City. However, over the next few days, Scarlett asked him several times, and he couldn't give her a specific date for his visit.Scarlett knew that Rowan hadn't talked the talk. He said he would come to Juanton City, and he would.But he didn't want Scarlett to know exactly what day he would come, and she guessed he didn't want her to know.After having asked him twice, Scarlett wisely stopped asking this question.In Raymond's office, Frank had gotten a call from the Tank family before Rowan arrived.When Frank received the call from the Tank family, he was very tense and was afraid that he might say something wrong.But obviously, he was thinking too much, and the caller didn't give him a chance to talk.The person at the other end of the phone just told him, "Secretary Lewis, I am Mr. Rowan Tank's assistant. Please tell Mr. Shaw that Mr. Tank will arrive in Juanton City by plane tomorrow afternoon and he would like to have dinn
