Raymond and Scarlett had been divorced for more than eight months, but no one hooked up with him. Though depressed, they were comforted.
However, Raymond said affectionately that he liked Scarlett in front of so many people, completely not as cold and proud as before. Scarlett scolded him. He submissively answered that he wouldn't do that again.

Henry grunted and intended to take Scarlett away. "I'll take you to the lounge." She caused trouble as soon as she chere. Scarlett knew she should get rid of the crowd so that things could quiet down.

Alexander sighed. "She's gone." Hearing this, Raymond inclined his head and glanced at him, walking to the rest area with a sullen face.
Alexander hurriedly followed him. A waiter carrying drinks passed. Alexander took two glasses of champagne and handed one of them to Raymond. "It's okay. Drown your sorrows. | won't laugh at you." Raymond coldly looked askance at him. Alexander was scared. "Then I'll drink myself." He tilted his head and drank the two glasses of champagne.
After that, Alexander found that Raymond was leaving.

In the past few days, his mind was full of what Scarlett said when she cto him with the divorce agreement. "Don't worry. I'm serious this time, but | should tell you. This is your last chance to get rid of m e, you must cherish it." At that time, he thought that she was just trying to win his heart, but it turned out that she didn't want his heart at all.
She gave up on him. He couldn't even touch her anymore.
