GoodReadAt 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 from him. She probably felt that Devin was irrelevant, and there was no need to bring it up to Raymond.
However, a few hours earlier, in the hotel lobby, Raymond sensed that Devin had hideous intentions for Scarlett.
How could anyone in Juanton City dare to have any intentions on Raymond Shaw's wife? How bold Devin was! The Roach family was a piece of cake to Raymond.

Raymond curled the corner of his mouth and went back into the room with his phone.
Scarlett was probably tired. She was sleeping like a log.
Raymond sat on the edge of the bed and watched Scarlett. He wasn't sleepy at all because of the jet lag.
Things in Bomsville were almost done. Only a few more formalities were to be proceeded. Raymond hadn't seen Scarlett for over a month and he couldn't wait to come back to see her.
This time the purpose he came back home was to marry Scarlett.
Raymond lifted his hand and touched the ring on Scarlett's middle finger. The custom ring should be ready soon.
The wedding dress had been flown in, and their wedding photos...
So many things he had prepared. At their first wedding, he had done nothing for Scarlett. This time, Raymond wanted to give her the best.
Raymond watched Scarlett sleeping on the bed for a while. Then he picked up his phone and sent a text message to Frank.
The next morning, when Scarlett woke up, it was almost eight o'clock.
She had an alarm clock that went off at seven every morning, but she didn't hear it this morning. Raymond should have turned it off.
Scarlett looked at Raymond and she couldn't help but smile.
'It’s so nice to see your beloved one lying next to you on waking up in the morning." Raymond was still sleeping deeply, and Scarlett knew he probably slept past midnight last night because of jet lag.

Scarlett didn't want to wake him up, so she moved carefully.
Nevertheless, when Scarlett had just gone into the bathroom, Raymond woke up and opened his eyes.
The curtains were still shut, and the room was dim.
Raymond rubbed his eyes and sat up.
The water was running in the bathroom, and Scarlett was in there brushing her teeth.
Raymond got out of bed and went into the bathroom.
Scarlett had just finished washing her face. She was surprised to see Raymond come in, "Did the noise disturb you?" "No," Raymond answered. He walked up to Scarlett and wrapped his arms around her from behind.
Scarlett looked at Raymond in the mirror. His chin rested on her shoulder, and his eyes slightly closed. He was still sleepy.
