Chapter 1043At night, Scarlett had fallen asleep in bed. Raymond carefully moved his arm off Scarlett's body and tucked her in. And then he got out of bed and went outside the room and called Frank. Raymond had informed Frank in advance that he was back, so Frank was not surprised to receive Raymond's call. "What’s the matter, Mr. Shaw?" "I need you to investigate a man for me." Frank was confused for a moment, but he quickly responded, "No problem. What's the name?" "Devin Roach." Hearing the name, Frank immediately understood. Someone had been investigating Scarlett in secret. Frank was afraid that the person was going to do harm to Scarlett, so he blocked most of Scarlett's information. "Okay, Mr. Shaw. I'll email his file to you later." "OK," Raymond responded. Then he hung up the phone. Scarlett had never told Raymond about Devin. Raymond believed Scarlett didn't mean to keep it f
Chapter 1044Seeing Raymond’s appearance, Scarlett raised her eyebrows and said, "Why not go back to sleep?""I think I've had my fill."He stirred slightly and looked in the mirror, which reflected him with Scarlett in his arms.Such intimate movement made him feel real and warm, and he hugged her even tighter, "Could you spare me a few days, honey?"On hearing that, Scarlett snorted, "Do you have any plans, Mr. Shaw?""Of course, we haven't taken our wedding photos yet."Scarlett recalled that their wedding photos had been ordered but never taken as he said this.Scarlett turned her head, held his gaze, and blushed, "I see.""I've finished washing," she said as she parted his hand from her waist.With that, she bent down and moved out of his arms. As she reached the door, she turned to look at him, "I’m going down to make sandwiches."Although she was not a good cook, sandwiches were not difficult for her."You don't have to do that. I've asked Frank to bring breakfast."
Chapter 1045Raymond was anxious to come back because he had an ulterior motive.Scarlett had never dated someone seriously. She liked Raymond by accident. She fell in love with him at first sight. Her passion for him made her blind to everything else.Scarlett said that she wanted to marry Raymond actively. It seemed that she was enthusiastic and bold towards feelings, but she was reserved to express her feelings. That was the reason why she finally divorced Raymond after three years.Now she remarried Raymond and didn't care about others' opinions, but she was still shy to express her feelings to him in private.Probably it was because Pearl always taught Scarlett that she was a girl and should be reserved when she was a little girl. Scarlett pursued love boldly, but she was reserved to express her feelings.Couple's Day was a traditional holiday for couples. Many shops started advertising last week.Scarlett was a girl. Of course, she liked romance.But Raymond was abroad. E
Chapter 1046Since her parents passed away, Scarlett had never eaten cotton candy.Scarlett didn't like cotton candy, but when his father gave her cotton candy with an expectant and happy look, she felt that cotton candy were not that bad. She could eat them once a week.After many years, the person who bought her cotton candy had left her forever."What are you looking at?"Aware that Scarlett was absent-minded, Raymond couldn't help asking.He found that Scarlett was staring at a cotton candy machine in front of a snack bar."Do you want to eat cotton candy?"Scarlett came out of her trance, withdrew her eyes, and glanced at Raymond with a smile. "Are you going to buy me some?"It was the first time she had asked Raymond for something. Seeing Scarlett's dazzling smile, he overflowed with tenderness."Yes."Even if Scarlett wanted that snack bar, he would buy it for her.Yet the street was crowded. A long line of people were queuing for cotton candy outside the snack bar.
Chapter 1047The girl who shared the table with Scarlett was enthusiastic. Even if Scarlett didn't talk much, she didn't mind, "You are very pretty. Your skin is so fair and smooth, and your eyelashes look very nice. What mascara do you use?" Scarlett was a little embarrassed. "I did not use mascara." Today, she only put on light make-up, no eye makeup at all. When the girl heard Scarlett's words, her eyes immediately lit up, "Wow, natural?" Scarlett smiled, "Hmm." "Ooh, I’m so envious!" The girl looked at Scarlett and didn't even want to talk to her boyfriend, who was just next to her and wanted to chat with her. She was so annoyed that she pointed to the drinks shop across the street, "I want cotton candy. Can you buy one for me?" Of course, her boyfriend agreed and happily left. Once he left, the girl became more lively, "Hello, are you an artist? May I take a photo with you?" It was not the first time Scarlett had been asked these questions, so she was able to face
Chapter 1048Scarlett reached out to take the cotton candy. "Thank you."Raymond touched Scarlett's head. "You are welcome."He then turned his head and looked at the boy coldly. "My wife's taste in men cannot be so bad."The boy's face changed for a moment. Now he realized he had misunderstood Scarlett. After all, he was too young. The arrogance on his face vanished immediately. He looked embarrassed, but he did not want to lose face, so he still stubbornly said, "She does have a bad taste. I cannot believe she actually likes an old guy."Raymond, who was under the age of thirty-five, was lost for words. He thought, "Why does this guy sound more annoying than Alexander?"Raymond's face darkened instantly. Scarlett reached out and tugged at his sleeve. When she saw him lower his head, she raised her hand and put a small piece of cotton candy she had just pulled to his lips."What…"Before he could finish his words, Raymond felt something sticky on his lips. He pressed his li
Chapter 1049Scarlett didn't like cotton candy. They walked for a while, and she just took several bites. Raymond bought her a rabbit-shaped cotton candy. It looked cute. Scarlett attracted many people's attention with it in her hand.It was hot. The cotton candy began to melt and flew to Scarlett's hand. Yet she felt it was too sweet to eat.A couple went past them. The girl also held cotton candy and shared it with her boyfriend. They quickly ate it up.Scarlett blinked and looked at Raymond beside her.Feeling her gaze, Raymond looked down at her. "What's up?"Scarlett raised the cotton candy to his mouth with a smile, saying, "I'm full."Raymond raised his eyebrows and took a bite in silence.Scarlett knew that he didn't like sweet food, so she ate the the cotton candy with him.They finished it while walking.It was Couple's Day. There were many couples on the street. Some of them wore couple clothes.They looked pretty.It was past 4 p.m. The street became more and mo
Chapter 1050The woman took another look at Scarlett and sighed again as she held her cheeks. "A girl as good looking as her has probably been discovered by many talent scouts long ago, but she's not a celebrity. She's not an ordinary person."Scarlett watched the woman running back inside the studio before she slowly withdrew her eyes and looked down at the brochure in her hand.She thought the gowns shown in the brochure were very pretty and the page design was beautiful.She was a little reluctant to throw the brochure away.Smiling at the thought of the owner running away, Scarlett didn't throw the brochure away and put it in her handbag.At six o'clock in the evening, there were more than twice as many people on the street as there had been at noon.There were people all around. And people were walking almost as if they were being pushed by the crowd.Raymond raised his hand and took Scarlett directly into his arms. They walked to the end of the street, went straight aroun
