GoodReadScarlett didn't look at Raymond, "No." "| remember! Scarlett, | had saved you." The traffic light turned red. The car slowed to a stop.
Scarlett tilted her head to look at him, "So Mr. Shaw, you wantto return the favor now?" "Now | know why you loved me." Most women would admire powerful men. And mostly, such admiration would develop into adoration.
A handsguy saving a pretty girl was a cliche. Teenage girls were naive and full of fantasies of romance.
Scarlett stiffened. Raymond's words revealed her last secret. All she felt was embarrassment.
She wanted to be as nonchalant as ever, but she couldn't be.
Usually, when people see her, she looked calm, strong, and composed. However, she also had a soft and vulnerable part in her heart.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThere were things she cared about, like Raymond, like the very past event that she had been hiding from him.
Her grip on the steering wheel tightened, and blue veins showed on the back of her fair hands.
Raymond did not expect his words to make Scarlett so emotional. He put his hand over hers and said, "I'm sorry, Scarlett." He had said sorry to her countless times. Actually, he felt most sorry for the young girl he saved a decade ago.
The girl went through all the difficulties and cto him with the barest of heart. She stuck on for three years for that one day but a few minutes of crush.
"Don't say sorry to me, Raymond. I'll never forgive you." Then she closed her eyes and suppressed all her emotions.
The traffic light turned green. Scarlett waved Raymond's hand off. "I'm driving." Raymond didn't say anything else. He looked down at his palm, which had just touched Scarlett's fingers.
Her hand was soft and delicate. Once he could easily hold it, but now she was so cold to him that he could not even touch it.
One must always pay for his mistakes.
As the car sped down the road, Raymond remembered many things from their three years of marriage.
However, unfortunately, he and Scarlett did not spend much ttogether in the three years.
All he could think of were the few family dinners or sessential party occasions.
He had never cared for her. Now that he thought about it, he was surprised he couldn't recall anything between them.
Raymond felt upset. He closed his eyes and leaned back in the seat, thinking back to the day he saved Scarlett's life.
That incident was not really special in his memory. If i t was not he saw the picture of her as a girl that day and found familiar with the face that had stunned him once, he wouldn't have remembered it.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe car finally stopped. Raymond opened his eyes.
They had been silent for more than half an hour. Scarlett now calmed down, "Get out of the car." "What could | do to make you forgive me?" Scarlett laughed at his question, "I will forgive you if it snows this summer in Juanton City." It was June in summer. How could it possibly snow? It was impossible.
Scarlett looked at him, "Get out of the car." Raymond kept his eyes on her for a while. Then he got out of the car.
Just as he closed the car door, suddenly, Scarlett called out to him, "Raymond." Raymond was standing outside the car door, and his heart flipped. He leaned down and asked, "What's up?" "Giveyour cell phone." He didn't hesitate and held out the phone and handed it to her.
Scarlett took the phone and spoke again, "Take a few steps back." Then Raymond took a few steps back. Just as he stopped, the black car drove away in no second.
Raymond frowned. It was then that he realized that he had been dropped in the countryside. And Scarlett had taken away his cell phone.
This woman was a bit ruthless.
Watching Scarlett's car drive away, Raymond had a wry smile.
