After all, she and Scarlett were not good friends.However, Scarlett gave them a surprise.Many people in Juanton City knew that Darrell's grandma was a Catholic. She admired the Pope, but the Pope was always visiting other countries. Thus, she had been wanting to see him but failed.Scarlett gave Darrell's grandma the Pope's letter and his rosary. Even the Lancelot family couldn't do that.Libby knew that Scarlett was powerful. It might be easy for her to find a person. Yet it was very thoughtful of Scarlett to prepare this gift.

Chapter 1041The moment Scarlett looked up, she saw Raymond walking toward her.She looked at him as her eyes lit up.Soon, Raymond walked up to Scarlett. He took her into his arms with one hand as if he had laid his claim on her. He kissed Scarlett on the forehead in front of Devin, as if no one was watching. "I'm back, honey."Scarlett blushed slightly. However, she looked calm, "Hmm."Scarlett responded and then looked at Devin who was in front of her. "Mr. Roach, my husband is here to pick me up."Devin had seen situations like that many times. However, in the past, it was those girlfriends of his who had taken him to make out in front of others to show that he belonged to them.Devin tsked and looked at Raymond. "Mr. Shaw, I've heard a lot about you."Raymond took a cold glance at Devin. "I don't know you."Raymond's words were like a slap in the face to Devon.The smile on Devin's face faded for a moment, and then he glanced at Scarlett. "Since your husband is here, I w
Chapter 1042Scarlett snorted. "You’re the same."Raymond gave a smile. "She's looking at you, and you're more attractive than me."Scarlett took a sip of the water. "She's a woman. I don’t mind her staring at me.""Even if she is a woman, I dislike her gazing at you."Raymond raised his hand and put her hair behind her ear. His behavior was gentle, and his eyes were tender, but he said stern words.Feeling embarrassed, Scarlett changed the subject. "Why did you come back suddenly?""I miss you."Scarlett felt her cheeks burning. "Really?"She lowered her head and slightly raised the corners of her lips."Yeah."Raymond responded. With his eyes falling on the ring on Scarlett's finger, his smile became wider.After the meal, they drove back to the villa.When they arrived home, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening.After Scarlett took a shower, she read the gossip about the showbiz sent by Alexis.Alexis felt more and more bored after she got pregnant. Every day she
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
