Scarlett stopped at a booth in the corner and took a seat, with her coat in her hand. "What's the matter?" Raymond looked at Scarlett. 'Just within a year, Scarlett treatsin a totally different manner.” The three-year marriage between him and Scarlett was completely nominal, as they didn't sleep with each other even for one night after the wedding.
She lived in the Shaw family villa while he was in his own apartment.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIn those three years, he had no other impression of her except that she worshiped money.
He mistakenly regarded her love for him as her desire for money and status. But now, she didn't love him. When they were sitting face to face at present, Scarlett seemed to be unwilling to smile at him.
Raymond felt a pain in his heart. "I should apologize t o you for what happened between us." Scarlett stopped flipping the menu and raised her head to look at Raymond. "Mr. Shaw, it is unnecessary. Love means sacrifice. When | loved you, | naturally did whatever | could do for you. Although it was a bit silly, | was willing to do those things. You needn't feel obligated." Then she smiled. "It'swho should feel sorry for myself." Although Scarlett was smiling, her expression was not happy. The look on her face alienated others.
Her every word, like a sharp knife, stabbed him in the heart.
It was the first tthat Raymond had loved someone. It was also the first tthat he had been tortured by love.
Alexander said that both he and Raymond owed Scarlett an apology. Although Alexander was usually a man of straw, he was right on this point.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmRaymond had been preparing for the apology for a long time. He finally seized the opportunity to apologize to her today. But all his words were blocked by Scarlett's words, "It'swho should feel sorry for myself." She bid farewell to him in the most detached and emotionless manner. She said the most rational and sober words to make him hopeless.
Even if he didn't behave arrogantly now, he didn't know how to tell Scarlett that he fell in love with her.
In the past, it was Scarlett who didn't dare show her love for him. But now, it was him.
Seeing that he fell silent, Scarlett raised her eyebrows. "It's getting late. If there's nothing else, I'll leave." "Wait." Raymond took the folder beside him. "We had a three-year marriage. It's too unfair for you if | don’t give you anything." Scarlett didn't notice that he had taken a document until now.
Glancing at the document on the table, Scarlett flipped through it and chuckled lightly. "Do you think I'm short of money?" Raymond frowned, "I don't mean that." Scarlett clicked her tongue. "Then you are really generous. This villa is worth 50 million at least. And if | sell the villa and the five percent of Teuton’s shares, | can gain no less than 2 billion." As she said, she closed the document with a snap and gave Raymond a cool look. "You may be disappointed. I'm really not short of money." Scarlett gave the document to him. "I forced you to marryback then. You don't have to feel guilty for the three years. And you don't oweanything." The smile on her face faded away. Then she picked up the coat and stood up. "The scenery in Chatbury City deserves visiting. Find a professional guide. | wish you a pleasant journey." Then she immediately left. "But you owe me, Scarlett." There were only a dozen or so people in the bar. With the pleasing folk songs, the atmosphere was peaceful. But Raymond's loud voice broke the tranquility. Everyone present heard it.
