Chapter 831"You live alone. You might as well get a cat to keep you company."Hearing that, Scarlett said less confidently, "I'd prefer not. I don't spend much time at home. If it gets lost, it will be dangerous."Rowan thought about it and said, "You have a point. Cats are always running loose. This cat has been running about since it was a kitten. David used to dote on this cat and take it out when it was young. Then it grew up and went out on its own. Over the past ten years, it should have been to all corners of this villa area."Rowan's smile faded a little when he thought of David in the hospital.The doctor said that David's days were numbered.Rowan was a little saddened as people around him passed away one by one.Scarlett sensed his sadness and said, "I've never seen Mr. Fratelli, Grandpa."Hearing that, Rowan was stunned for a while, and then remembered himself, "Oh, David never believed you looked like your grandma. We'll go to the hospital and prove that to him."
Chapter 832Anyway, Rowan's attitude had finally changed a little.After the walk, Rowan asked Scarlett to rest.Raymond texted Scarlett half an hour ago that Larry had dropped him off at the hotel.Only then did Scarlett see the message. As soon as Scarlett replied to him, he texted her, "Have you gone back?""Yes."Hardly had she sent it than Raymond made a call."What are you doing tomorrow?”Thinking of Rowan's proposal, Scarlett planned to trick him, "Grandpa said he would take me to see his friend's grandson tomorrow."After a moment's silence, Raymond asked, "Do you have any idea where that is?""Nope.""Well, it's time to go to bed," Raymond then said nothing.Scarlett thought he got angry, "Raymond?""Ah-huh?""Are you mad?""No, I'm not."He knew Rowan was not happy with him, and it was not the first time Rowan had introduced Scarlett to other men.He did not get angry but planned to have someone find out who Scarlett was meeting the next day.His tone was th
Chapter 833After hearing what Viviana had said, Scarlett looked back, "Aunt Viviana, Larry has a sense of proportion.""If he has a sense of proportion, there isn't such a thing as him being nearly thirty-five years old and not having a girlfriend. I'm not in a hurry to get him married. He's got his own opinion. But no matter how he has his own opinion, he is more than thirty years old, and he's not as sensitive as you are."As she spoke, Viviana took a look at Rowan, "See... Am I right? Your grandpa is firm in speech but soft in heart. Did he relent yesterday?"Scarlett took a look at Rowan, too. Thinking of their conversation last night, she looked gratefully at Viviana, "Thank you.""You don't need to thank me. I am your aunt. It's not that your grandpa doesn't allow you to be with the guy from the Shaw family. He's just afraid you will get hurt again. He still remembers what happened between the two of you. That's what old people are like. You have to be patient. Your grandpa
Chapter 834Scarlett saw that Rowan and David had a lot to talk about, so she walked out of the ward after peeling the apples.As she walked downstairs, Scarlett saw Larry, who was standing nearby and talking on his cell phone.It was a fine day and the sun was shining today. Scarlett only wore a long dress, which made her feel lukewarm in this weather and she felt right at this temperature. Only when the wind blew, could she feel a little cool.Seeing that Larry was on the phone, Scarlett didn't walk over to him.She took out her phone and saw a message, which Raymond sent to her 20 minutes ago, asking if she was free for dinner tonight.Scarlett thought for a moment and replied "okay" to Raymond.As soon as she finished replying to the message, Scarlett heard someone calling her. She looked back and then looked up at this person.He was a middle-aged man in a suit. It was a nice suit, but it was the man's bulging belly that made the suit look ugly.When he saw Scarlett looki
Chapter 835Just after Larry left, Ethan punched Jay on the chest. "I just said you were smart. But you are such an idiot now! That man's eyes were fierce. It is obvious that he is hard to deal with. Look what you did. You told him who I am! You want to be beaten up by him, right?"Hearing Ethan's words, Jay asked in an aggrieved tone of voice, "Who is that man?""Who is he? He's the boyfriend of that hot woman!"Jay snorted. "So what? Why should we be afraid of him? He is not a bigwig!""Shut up! Can't you see what kind of car he drives?"Larry drove a Maybach S-class today. He kept a low profile, but those who knew about cars knew that Larry's car was not cheap at first glance.Ethan's company had developed well in the past few years, but he could barely afford a $500,000 car.Most men knew about cars. As Ethan said, Jay looked over and realized that the car was costly."God. Ethan, this car must cost more than 500,000 dollars! The person who can afford it must have an annua
Chapter 836"It's okay to order now.""Okay."Just as Scarlett texted back, she heard a familiar voice in the lobby on the first floor.She didn't have the room card and couldn't enter Raymond's room, so she had to wait at the cafe on the second floor.Scarlett thought Raymond would be back in half an hour at the soonest, but she didn't expect him to arrive so soon.She hurriedly got up and took away afternoon tea. She carried it and went to the 18th floor to meet Raymond.When Scarlett came out of the elevator, she happened to see a waiter finish serving the guest in the opposite room afternoon tea. Scarlett suddenly had an idea. She stood in the doorway of Raymond's room and changed her voice. "Hello, sir, your afternoon tea is ready."The door opened soon after she knocked."Surprise!"Scarlett proudly raised the takeaway box she was carrying, her pretty eyes filled with joy.Raymond smiled and raised his hand to caress her face. He then took her hand and led her in. "Exc
Chapter 837"Seriously? Raymond, Are you jealous of a woman?"Scarlett looked at him with a slightly raised eyebrow. Obviously, she was making fun of him.Raymond looked at the smile on Scarlett's face and smiled as well. "Yeah."He replied and slightly tightened his grip on Scarlett's waist. He then lowered his head and rested his forehead against hers. His thin lips were so close to Scarlett's red lips.They were so close that Scarlett could feel Raymond's warm breath on her face. Scarlett could not help gasping.She raised her eyes. "You want to kiss me, huh?""Yeah."Raymond lowered his head and kissed her on the lips.Scarlett stepped back. "No, I don't take any clothes."Raymond heard her words and looked up at her. His dark eyes were still full of lust, which made Scarlett unable to take her eyes off him. Scarlett's heart thumped and her body seemed to be on fire.She hurriedly looked away and wrapped her arms around Raymond's waist. She leaned against his shoulders
Chapter 838Looking down at her watch, Scarlett said, "It's not even four yet. There is a recreation room on the second floor. Let's play billiards downstairs."While waiting for Raymond just now, she had strolled around the second floor.There were all kinds of amusement facilities on the second floor. Most of the guests were not in the hotel during the day, so very few people were there.She hadn't played billiards for a long time, so she wanted to take this opportunity to relax."Okay, I'll go change another set of clothes." Raymond said.Scarlett nodded, picked up the magazine on the table, and flipped through it.Generally speaking, people would change their clothes in the bathroom. However, Raymond started changing his clothes directly next to his suitcase.Hearing the sound of the belt buckle behind her, Scarlett blushed.She was looking at the magazine, but her thoughts were no longer on the magazine.When she heard the sound of changing clothes, her heart kept poundi
