The incident came to Scarlett's mind when she came back to the school. She usually didn’t remember such trivial things.
Seeing that Alexis got worried, Scarlett smiled and asked, with a deliberately slow tone, "Didn't you say that after you got married, you would tell your husband about your history at school to let him know how popular you were among guys then? Now that you're married and pregnant, | think it's time to tell Justin the stories." "No, no. | was silly. Forget about it! I'm begging you." A few days ago, a guy who used to chase Alexis called and asked Alexis to shoot a promotional ad for his company. Right after Alexis hung up the phone, Justin leaned over on the couch and asked her if it was that guy.
Alexis admitted it. Then Justin sneered, "You have a good memory." Alexis had nothing to say. If she hadn't been pregnant, she thought she probably wouldn't have been able to get out of bed that day.
If Justin knew that Alexis still kept those love letters, she dreaded to think what Justin would do out of jealousy.

"How could | forget about it?" Scarlett said with a smug on her face. Noticing the waiter coming over to serve the food, Scarlett moved her cutlery aside. She added, "We have plenty of time anyway. Since you brought up the gossip, why not we reminisce about the sweet past?" Alexis instantly got abashed. She was afraid Scarlett would tell Justin about the two hundred love letters. She begged, "I was silly, Lettie. You and Raymond were made for each other!" "Well, you're getting smarter." Inexplicably, Alexis felt a sense of mockery in Scarlett's words, "I'm not that stupid." "Who is the one keeping secret love letters behind her husband's back?” "Well, | just haven't gotten disposal of it." Scarlett looked at Alexis and dropped the subject. "Food’s coming up. Let's get started.
Alexis was relieved. She didn’t dare to bring up any gossip anymore.
After lunch, the two went shopping.
Alexis took a fancy to a purse. She asked Scarlett to buy it for her as a gift for her baby, and in the same way, she got Scarlett to buy her a bracelet.
Alexis couldn't stay at leisure all the time. She easily got bored. But in the latter months of her pregnancy, she spent most of her days at home. Today she finally got the chance to come out, and she got so many things on her mind that she wanted to eat.
If Justin hadn't called, Alexis would have taken Scarlett to a barbecue. After hanging up the phone, Scarlett took Alexis to a bench to rest for a while.
When Justin came down the escalator, Alexis was sucking a cup of milkshake. Until Justin walked up to them, Alexis shoved the milk tea into Scarlett's hand and explained, "Lettie ordered it. | just took a sip." Scarlett sat there and watched Alexis playing pity. She was amused, and then she shook the milkshake in her hand.
'Oh, it's half-empty. Alexis’s sip was like an elephant’s." Just as Scarlett was about to put the straw in her mouth to taste the milkshake, Justin took it away from her hand.

Scarlett raised an eyebrow and Justin glanced at her, "Alexis had already drunk it.
Immediately Alexis got unhappy. She gave Justin a punch in his chest, "What's the problem with me drinking it? | don't have a disease!” Justin didn't say anything but put the straw in his mouth and took a sip. He felt it was too sweet and he frowned slightly. He then handed the milkshake back to Alexis," Here you go. You can't have so much sugar next time." Alexis immediately stopped complaining and beamed. Then Justin took Alexis' hand and the two left.
Scarlett sat there, watching the two leaving.
'Do they need to be so clingy to each other?’ They are showcasing too much!"
