Chapter 306Larry’s grandma was diagnosed with lung cancer five years ago. In order to see her missing daughter in her lifetime, she had been suffering from chemotherapy and radiotherapy because she believed that Pearl was still alive.In September last year, Larry’s grandma was sent abroad for treatment due to the deterioration of her condition. Just two months ago, the hospital informed her family that any further treatment was meaningless, and Larry’s grandma was sent back home.Back then, the doctor said that she could only live for another month at most, but now, Larry’s grandma was still lying in the ICU, waiting for her poor and lovely daughter to come home!The Tank family had been looking for Pearl for so many years, and they always believed that Pearl was still alive. When seeing Scarlett today, Larry was shocked.Scarlett looked so much like Pearl. Over the years, he took Pearl’s photo and asked people to help look for her. Larry was so familiar with his aunt’s appearance th
Chapter 307As soon as Scarlett opened the door, she could smell wine on Raymond, which was quite awful. She had never seen him so drunk.“Scarlett.”Putting his hand against the door to support himself up, Raymond looked down at her. Then he raised his hand and pointed to his throat. “I’m very thirsty. Would you please pour me a glass of water?”Scarlett raised her eyebrows in surprise. Thinking that he was heavily drunk, she didn’t expect him to still be aware of his physical state and even come here to ask for water.It was so quiet in the hotel’s corridor at midnight. Scarlett stood for a few seconds before taking a step back and said, “Please come in and sit down.”Without Hilla around, she had to boil some water for him.Raymond followed Scarlett into the room. After sitting down, he looked up at Scarlett, who was putting the kettle on at the entrance. He was somewhat absent-minded.He had thought she would kick him out.After pressing the button on the kettle, Scarlett leaned ag
Chapter 308The overhead lights cast a soft radiance over them. Raymond bowed his head, causing the shadow to fall on Scarlett’s face, but he still clearly saw the coldness in her beautiful eyes.He avoided her gaze and fixed his eyes on her red lips.Driven by impulse, Raymond could no longer hold his deep affection towards Scarlett. He lowered his head and was about to kiss her lips.However, Scarlett turned her face away in time, and his kiss fell on her left cheek.Her smile instantly disappeared. She pushed him away and snapped, “Fuck off.”Raymond looked down at her. He put his hands away from her waist, and his eyes had turned a little red. He said in a pitiful voice, “I know I did a wrong thing. Scarlett, could you please forgive me and don’t leave me?”“Fuck off.”She looked at him coldly, stretched out her hand and wiped her left cheek.Her action was undoubtedly like a knife sticking straight into Raymond’s heart.He came to his senses in an instant, and after apologizing in
Chapter 309Scarlett couldn’t sleep well all night, and the alarm clock rang for a long time before she reached her mobile phone and turned it off.The curtains in the room were closed so tight that she couldn’t tell the weather outside.Scarlett frowned, rubbed her temples and got out of bed to open the curtains.The sunshine at eight o’clock was dazzling enough, and Scarlett raised her hand to block it. After her eyes adjusted to the light, she put down her hand and stood in front of the French window to look at the tall buildings outside.When she first came to Juanton City at the age of fifteen, she was almost deceived by its bustling appearance.When Henry knocked at the door, Scarlett was going downstairs for breakfast.“Did you have a good sleep last night?”Henry, who was standing at the door, seemed to be in high spirits. Obviously, he slept well last night.But Scarlett didn’t sleep well.Scarlett looked at him and answered, “I can hardly sleep in a strange bed.”Henry raised
Chapter 310Scarlett swallowed the milk. Then she took the cake on the plate and smiled. "Thank you."She was not modest.Henry also smiled. And then the two did not continue to talk.After breakfast, Scarlett went back to the hotel to put her things in the suitcase and then followed Henry downstairs to the airport.Because she didn't sleep well last night, she closed her eyes and fell asleep on the way to the airport.After the security check, the two were waiting in the VIP room, as there were forty minutes before the airplane took off."What do you think of my dad's proposal?"Scarlett raised her eyebrows. "I thought Mr. Anderson was just joking."Henry stared at her. "How could it be a joke? My father said that before so many people."Scarlett knew that was not a joke, but she was shocked.Seeing that she fell silent, Henry explained, "Everything my dad said last night was true. He kept saying in front of me, how wonderful it would be if I was a girl! He really wants a d
Chapter 311It was time to board the plane, so Scarlett stood up with the ticket and went out of the VIP waiting room.She didn't walk very fast and didn't look back.Henry suddenly felt that Raymond was really capable, as it was the first time that he had seen Scarlett was so angry.Henry didn’t follow her immediately, but waited for Raymond and Alexander to approach. He looked at Raymond with a half-smile. "Mr. Shaw, Mr. Smith, what a coincidence. Do you also take this flight? So do Scarlett and I."As Raymond didn't want to talk with Henry, he didn’t look at Henry until Henry mentioned Scarlett.Alexander was afraid that Raymond would say something unpleasant, so he answered quickly, "Hahaha, it's really a coincidence. I didn't expect Scarlett to take the same flight as us."Alexander ignored mentioning Henry deliberately.Henry snorted coldly. "I’ll go first. Scarlett will worry if she doesn’t find me."Then he waved his hand and walked out.Looking at Henry's back, Raymo
Chapter 312The stewardess pushed a dining cart to sell food. Henry signaled her to keep silent. Then he said in a low voice, "Please fetch me a blanket.""Okay, Sir. Please wait a minute."The stewardess brought Henry a blanket soon.Henry put it over Scarlett.Looking at Henry, Alexander said, "Henry is really considerate. He especially covers Scarlett with a blanket."Hearing this, Raymond felt unhappy.He even wanted to pull Henry away and sit next to Scarlett himself!But he restrained himself, as he had done something that annoyed Scarlett last night. If he pulled Henry away, she would get very angry.Raymond looked away and stared coldly at Alexander. "Do you still eat this? If not, I'll throw it away."Alexander, who hadn't eaten breakfast, prevented Raymond from doing so. "Don't do this. I'm so hungry that my stomach hurts!"Raymond sneered. "You seem not hungry at all."‘He is so noisy.’Alexander. "..."‘Can I not express my thoughts now?’‘Well. Now that Ray
Chapter 313Scarlett didn't sleep well last night, so she slept deeply on the plane. When she woke up, the plane was ready to land.As soon as she moved, Scarlett realized that she was covered with a blanket. Without thinking, she knew that Henry covered it over her.Although the business seat was spacious, it was uncomfortable to sleep on it, as Scarlett had a sore neck now.Noticing her wake up, Henry turned his head to look at her. "Wake up?"Scarlett nodded. "Thanks."Henry raised his eyebrows and said, "The plane is landing."Scarlett looked out of the window. "The weather isn’t good today."March was the rainy season in Juanton City.Raymond had closed his eyes. But now, he was staring at Henry and Scarlett.The plane would land at the airport twenty minutes later."Scarlett, what a coincidence!"When getting off the plane, Alexander suddenly called her.Scarlett turned her head and glanced at him and Raymond, without saying anything.As she was in a bad mood, she d
