The overhead lights cast a soft radiance over them. Raymond bowed his head, causing the shadow to fall o n Scarlett’s face, but he still clearly saw the coldness i n her beautiful eyes.
He avoided her gaze and fixed his eyes on her red lips.
Driven by impulse, Raymond could no longer hold his deep affection towards Scarlett. He lowered his head and was about to kiss her lips.
However, Scarlett turned her face away in time, and his kiss fell on her left cheek.
Her smile instantly disappeared. She pushed him away and snapped, "Fuck off.” Raymond looked down at her. He put his hands away from her waist, and his eyes had turned a little red. He said in a pitiful voice, "I know I did a wrong thing.
Scarlett, could you please forgive me and don’t leave m e?" "Fuck off." She looked at him coldly, stretched out her hand and wiped her left cheek.
Her action was undoubtedly like a knife sticking straight into Raymond's heart.

He came to his senses in an instant, and after apologizing in a low voice, he took another look at Scarlett and wanted to say something. However, when seeing the coldness in her eyes, he froze for a moment and turned to leave without saying anything.
After the door was closed, Scarlett was alone in the room again.
She glanced at the cup on the table and walked into her bathroom. After washing her face again, Scarlett got onto the bed.
Raymond didn't return to his own room after leaving Scarlett’s. Instead, he leaned against the door of her room.
In the corridor, only some floor lights were still 0 n, giving off a faint gleam.
At this time, most people were asleep, so no one would care why he still leaned against the door.
He knew he wasn't drunk. Just now, at the thought that he didn’t even take the initiative to hug Scarlett during his three-year marriage with her, he wanted so badly to hug and kiss her.
He had had this idea for a long time, but he directly put it into practice today.
He knew exactly whether he was drunk or not.
Actually, he wasn’t drunk at all. He just got bolder under the influence of alcohol, thinking that maybe she wouldn't blame him under such a situation.
Raymond knew that he had gone too far tonight.
He stood at the door for more than half an hour and then turned to leave. He walked to the end of the corridor, raised his hand and pushed open the window.
The night wind blew on his face. Raymond narrowed his eyes, pulled out a cigarette case from his coat pocket, took one cigarette out, and then bowed his head to light it.
The cold wind and nicotine made him more clear-minded, and what happened just now was replayed in his mind over and over again.

Raymond was filled with despair, for he knew that Scarlett would be more alienated from him from tonight.
Compared with his bad mood, Alexander was too excited to sleep.
Raymond and Scarlett were now in the same room, and under the influence of alcohol, Raymond would definitely muster up his courage and do something to Scarlett. Thinking of this, Alexander felt that his decision to knock on Scarlett’s door was really wise! He expected that when he got up early tomorrow morning, he should be able to see Raymond in high spirits.
Thinking of this, he got a little excited.
Alexander looked at the clock and found that it was already 1:00 in the morning. He hurriedly turned off his cell phone and night lights and was about to go to sleep.
Staying up late really does great harm to one’s health.
Of course, if he knew that at
., Raymond was still smoking beside the window, he would definitely stay up tonight! But Alexander didn’t know all this. He had been soundly asleep, and he even set the alarm clock before going to bed, for he planned to get up at 8 o'clock tomorrow and ask for a compliment from Raymond.
