GoodRead"Miss. | can't accept it. Just keep it. | know young people have many friends. You can invite your friends to cto visit this beautiful city, Chatbury City. You can give this card to your friends!" Scarlett smiled and put it directly on the chair in front of the security guard. "I have a lot of this kind of card.
They will go to waste if nobody uses them." "Well, then thank you." Scarlett said no more. She took the small gift and walked into the neighborhood.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBuilding C was in the south of the neighborhood, so Scarlett needed to walk for a while.
It was windy at sunset. Scarlett pulled her scarf to cover her mouth. Just as she turned a corner, an older woman suddenly asked her, "Are you Scarlett?" The woman in front of Scarlet was not a stranger. She was Mrs. Wilson, who had been Scarlett's neighbors for eighteen years. Although they had not met for almost ten years, Scarlett still recognized Mrs. Wilson immediately.
Scarlett paused. "Happy Hometown Day, Mrs. Wilson." "Happy Hometown Day! | haven't seen you for almost ten years, right? You are still so beautiful. Do you live here too?" Scarlett shook her head. "No, my friend lives here." "Oh, | see. You're 26 years old, right? Are you married? Do you have a kid?" Scarlet did not think that Mrs. Wilson was a bad woman. But Mrs. Wilson was as gossipy as all neighbors.
Scarlett was not going to catch up. "Sorry, Mrs. Wilson. My friend is waiting for me. | have to go." "Hey! What is your phone number? It doesn't matter if you're not married. My nephew graduated with a PhD this year! How about | introduce you to him?" But Scarlett turned a deaf ear to Mrs. Wilson's words. She soon disappeared from Mrs. Wilson's sight.
Mrs. Wilson snorted. "What's the big deal with you? You are twenty-six years old and still not married! What a wild girl!" "Hello." Mrs. Wilson just cdownstairs to take out the garbage, but she didn't expect to run into Scarlett, the daughter of her old neighbor. Now, she ran into a strange man.
If the man in front of her was not handsome, Mrs. Wilson would have wondered if he was a thief! "Oh, hello. Why are you?" "I'm Scarlett's... husband." Raymond paused for a moment. Among the four title options--ex-husband, suitor, boyfriend, husband, he decisively chose the last one.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Oh. So Scarlett is married!" Mrs. Wilson thought about her sneer just now and said awkwardly, "I didn't mean anything just now. I just... I just have a sharp tongue! Sorry!" Raymond nodded his head. He took out his wallet and withdrew all the money inside. "I'm not here to argue with you. | just want to learn Scarlett's previous experiences from you." Stephen had investigated Scarlett, but he did not get detailed information, as if someone had helped Scarlett cover up her experiences. Therefore, Raymond only knew that Scarlett's parents died in a car accident in her freshman year. He didn't know anything more.
However, he was moved by Scarlett's expression when she received the small gift given by the security guard.
His heart ached for her.
Mrs. Wilson looked at the stack of money in Raymond's hand, her eyes widening. "No problem! | can tell you anything you want to know! I've been Scarlett's neighbor for over ten years. | know everything about her family!" Raymond had to patiently reply, "Good. | don’t need you to say everything. Just tellabout her parents’ accident." It was an easy question for Mrs. Wilson. "You cto the right person! That day, | happened to..."
