Chapter 874Scarlett took a look at the waiter and smiled, “It’s my dinner, I guess.”“May I come in?”Chris took a look inside and waited for her consent.Scarlett stepped aside to let him in, “Yeah.”Chris then stepped inside and smelled a faint fragrance that he had smelled on Scarlett before.He felt comfortable with the smell.Entering her room, he naturally sat down on the sofa.The waiter came in with the trolley, put dishes on the table, accepted tips, and left.Scarlett and Chris were alone in the room. Scarlett closed the door and took a look at Chris, “Have you had your dinner yet?”“No.”Scarlett glanced at the food for one person on the table, and asked, “Would you like me to order something for you?”“No, thanks. I ordered.”“All right.”Scarlett then sat at the table and said, “Then I’ll start.”Scarlett ordered the steak. It wouldn’t taste good if it got cold.“Okay, enjoy your steak. You don’t have to wait for me.”Leaning back on the sofa, Chris looked
Chapter 875Hearing his words, Scarlett lowered her head with a smile, then turned around, and went into the cloakroom to change clothes.Scarlett was still wearing a dress today, but it was a lot more elegant and casual than the one Alexis wanted her to wear together with her that night.It was a light apricot floral chiffon long skirt. After she put on a dark blue denim jacket, she looked more casual.Scarlett was wearing no makeup, so she put on lipstick on her lips.The lipstick was maple-leaf red, which was the perfect complement to her dress. Even she didn’t wear any other makeup, her complexion looked rosy.As soon as Chris hung up the phone and looked up, he saw Scarlett walking out.He blinked his black eyes and didn't hesitate to praise her, saying, "You look gorgeous."Scarlett smiled, "Thanks."Then, she picked up her phone and followed Chris out of the room.Chris‘s room was at the top floor, and Scarlett lived only two floors below him. No one came in the elevat
Chapter 876At the end of the game, a tall blond girl came over and asked, "Sir, miss, good evening. The gentleman over there wants to invite you over. Would you like to play with him?"Scarlett followed the girl's gaze and found the man was Asian.She took her eyes off him, turned to look at Chris, and asked, "Mr. Wilson?""It’s up to you."Scarlett glanced at the Asian man again, lowered her eyes for a while, then raised her head, and replied with a smile, "OK."After Chris put the chips in her little basket, Scarlett glanced at him, smiled, and followed the blonde up."Good evening, Ms. Reed."The man directly called Scarlett’s name. But she didn’t remember she had met the middle-aged man before, so she asked, "Good evening,may I have your name?""Dewey Shepard."Although Scarlett had never met Dewey, she was familiar with the name, so she replied, "Mr. Shepard, I'm very pleased to meet you."If she remembered correctly, the chairman of the company that had competed with
Chapter 877Scarlett curled her lips slightly, took the chips out of the basket, and placed them in front of her.Chris also took out his chips. Seeing this, Dewey smiled, "Your relationship is as good as ever."Scarlett looked at the hole cards and smiled lightly, "Mr. Shepard, thanks for your concern."Chris didn't join their conversation. He tapped on the table and told the dealer his decision.Dewey started talking about the things in the business circle, and Scarlett chatted casually with him.When Dewey tried to induce Chris into joining them, Chris always said, "Let's talk about it another day."When Dewey asked a question, if Scarlett answered, Chris would keep silent, and if Chris answered, Scarlett would keep silent.They were too stubborn, so Dewey felt bored and gradually stopped talking.After playing a few hands, Dewey felt it was dull, so after he answered a call, he said, "Would you please excuse me? Let’s play together next time. Mr. Shaw and Ms. Reed, please
Chapter 878After coming here, Scarlett did not sleep late either."Do you have any plan tomorrow?""I’m flying back to Liechtho tomorrow evening."Chris frowned, "What about we have breakfast together?""OK."After they two exchanged the chips for cash, they entered the elevator and were about to go back to their rooms.Chris escorted her to the door of her room. When Scarlett opened the door, Chris's phone rang.Scarlett pushed the door open, leaned slightly against it, and said "I'm going in. Good night."Chris took out his phone and smiled, "Good night."Scarlett glanced at him one last time, closed the door, took off her jacket, and went into the bathroom.Alexis was hanging out with Justin and had sent a lot of pictures to her.Scarlett turned on the faucet of the bathtub, sat on the couch in the living room, and skimmed through the messages from Alexis.Suddenly, Scarlett found Alexis had asked about Raymond.If Scarlett were a careless person, she would have misse
Chapter 879Early in the morning, Scarlett was awakened by Alexis' call.It was still dark. It was cloudy, as if it was going to rain.Picking up the phone that kept vibrating, Scarlett squinted at the caller ID, "What's up, Lexi?""Scarlett! Chris is Raymond, right?"Scarlett rubbed her temples and got out of bed. She couldn't help but smile, "Yes."Scarlett put on her slippers and went into the bathroom, "I'm going to wash up."After saying that, she directly hung up the phone.Hearing Scarlett's words, Alexis sat up directly from the bed, "Oh, my god!"She looked at Justin next to her in shock, "Raymond is not dead."Justin looked at her and raised his eyebrows, "The person you met yesterday was Raymond?""Yes, Scarlett said so. She admitted it just now!"Justin froze. After a moment, he held the excited Alexis into his arms, "You should not bother Scarlett."Alexis sneered but didn't say anything. Only the sound of their increasingly heavy breathing remained in the roo
Chapter 880Chris frowned, "Why did we divorce?"Scarlett looked at him, narrowed her beautiful eyes, and said, "Because you don't love me."He asked puzzledly, "Why did I marry you if I don't love you?""I threatened you."Chris snorted, "I can't imagine what you could use to threaten me."He paused for a while and continued, "But it's all over. I don't remember it anymore. I don’t think you should remember those things either."Looking at him, Scarlett smiled faintly.Looking at her smiling pretty eyes, Chris felt his heart skip a beat. He couldn't help lowering his head and kissing her on the lips.Scarlett blinked, bit his lips lightly, and backed away, saying, "The doorbell is ringing."The doorbell did ring, and their breakfast was delivered.Chris frowned, secretly complaining the hotel staff had come at bad timing.He glanced at Scarlett, who was smiling with her head down, and said, "Let’s have breakfast first."Scarlett froze for a moment. After she realized what
Chapter 881Justin didn't know much about Scarlett and Raymond's marriage, but Alexis knew a lot. Scarlett was their friend, so Alexis had often complained to him about Raymond treating Scarlett badly back thenWhen Justin remembered the old things, the look in his eyes turned a lot colder, and he said, "You did not treat Scarlett well."Chris frowned, "Did I cheat on her?"Justin glanced at him and replied, "You didn't cheat on her, but the things you did to her are as awful as cheating."Justin paused, thinking this was probably a once-in-a-blue-moon opportunity that he could teach Raymond a lesson for Scarlett. As Scarlett's friend, Justin didn't know much about their three-year marriage, but he still felt sorry for Scarlett.Although it had been three years, and he didn’t hate Raymond that much, he would not miss this rare opportunity."Before your accident, most of the people around Scarlett didn't approve of you two getting back together," Justin said, and Chris's face bec
