Raymond didn't let go of Scarlett in about five or six seconds. "Do you have a late supper?” Scarlett averted her eyes and answered softly, "Yes." This was the first time she and Raymond had come out for a late supper.
Raymond stroked Scarlett's cheek and then leaned over to help her fasten the seat belt. Then he got out and walked to the other side of the car and started it.
The car drove slowly out of the hospital. It was not long before Scarlett saw a lively night food street.
Scarlett turned to Raymond, "Shall we park nearby?" "Okay." Raymond also saw the long street lined with snack stalls.
This area was so different from the hospital. It was quiet at the hospital, while here it was very busy and full of liveliness.
There was no parking lot nearby, so Raymond drove along to a square and parked there.

After the car was parked, the two got out of the car and headed for the snack stalls street.
The square parking lot was not far from the street. They just had to cross the street and walk two hundred meters to the right.
Across the street were a variety of snack stalls.
It was over eleven o'clock at night, a good hour for a late-night snack.
Scarlett asked Raymond, "Shall we have crab porridge?" It was late. It was better to eat something digestible.
"Sure." Hearing Raymond's answer, Scarlett couldn't help but laugh, "Have you ever had food at one of these places?" Raymond looked down at her, "Yes." Raymond was born into a wealthy family, and his life in every aspect, food, costume, and so on, was superior. It didn't seem like he would come to a roadside food stall like this.
But actually, Raymond had come to such places before. He recalled the first time he came to such a place for supper, he was alone.
Raymond didn't like to think about the past. But at the moment, with Scarlett, he felt like telling her about his past. "In my sophomore year, | had a fight with my grandfather about me going abroad to study. Then | drove out of the house at about ten o'clock one night. My car ran out of gas halfway through, so | left the car by the roadside. | walked for more than half an hour to the Southern Market and saw a lot of late-night snack stalls, and | somehow walked into one of them." Raymond grew up in a very strange environment. His life looked good on the surface. He never lacked anything.
He was born with a golden spoon in his mouth and had the wealth that many people might not make in their whole lifetime.
But Jean didn't love him. She just used him to marry Raymond's father. And Raymond's father had many affairs with other women for as long as he could remember.
Raymond's grandfather loved him the most. The old man had devoted himself to Raymond's education and had great expectations of him.
Raymond's grandfather was very strict with him. Before Sally passed away, Raymond's life was fine. Sally had no children of her own, so she treated Raymond as if he were her own son. But the kind woman did not live long.

Sally died when Raymond was in elementary school. Afterward, Raymond married Jean and brought Tiffany and Thomas into their family house.
Raymond's grandfather never liked those three. The old man intended that Tenton was destined to be handed over to Raymond. Ever since Jean came into the family, Raymond's life had been shadowed under the cloud of "heir of Tenton".
Raymond's grandfather was very strict with his grandson about everything to ensure that Raymond would inherit the family business smoothly. That night, Raymond was like having a late adolescent rebel. He went to a roadside snack stall and had more than thirty skewers of kebabs.
Raymond had sensitive taste buds. The cheap ingredients, despite being heavily seasoned, were found not fresh.
The kebabs weren't as good as people said to be, but Raymond had more than 30 of them and ended up in the hospital for three days with acute gastroenteritis.
Alexander asked Raymond what he had done that night, and Raymond told him he had gone for kebabs. Then Alexander laughed so hard he couldn't breathe. "If you want to have kebabs, tell me! | can take you to a good restaurant. How can you eat at a roadside food stall?" But Alexander wouldn't know that although the kebabs weren't good and weren't clean, and Raymond ended up in the hospital because of it, Raymond didn't regret it.
If Raymond hadn't been to the hospital that night, he wouldn't have secretly gotten out of the hospital and that he would not have met Scarlett who was in danger, and saved her.
