Scarlett drove back to the villa after coming out of the hotel. She had just parked the car in the garage when the doorbell rang.
Scarlett walked out of the garage, raising her eyebrows slightly. She wondered who cto her at this hour.
The monitor was upstairs. Scarlett didn't bother to go up to watch it. She opened the door and stepped out.
The sky was clear in Juanton City these two days, but the wind at night was still cold.
The lights inside the garden illuminated the path. She walked along the stone path.

"Why are you here?" Wasn't he at the hotel? Raymond hadn't appeared in front of her for a few days.
She had thought that Raymond had given up, but now i t seemed that she had underestimated him.
Raymond drove here. He didn't appear in front of Scarlett these days just because he wanted to give Scarlett tto think about it.
"Haste makes waste". If he was too aggressive, she would hate him.
If Emelia hadn't appeared and Scarlett hadn't happened to see them, Raymond wouldn't have ct o Scarlett again so soon.
He didn't remove the trending topic about him at the airport because he wanted to make Scarlett jealous, but it didn't mean that there was something between him and Emelia.
Alexander told him that when he and Emelia cout of the elevator, Scarlett was standing on the side watching. Thus, she must have heard what Emelia said.
Raymond didn't dare to take the risk. He drove over from the hotel.
Now they were separated by the door. Scarlett looked a t him calmly.
Raymond frowned slightly. "I missed you." The weather today was very good, and the moon was beautiful.
Scarlett didn't expect Raymond to say this. She was inexperienced in love and not as thick-skinned as Raymond.

Yet Scarlett regained her composure quickly. "Since you've met me, you can go now." "Scarlett." He called her, his mellow voice full of tenderness and resignation. "You've misunderstood." Scarlett couldn't help laughing. "It sounds a bit strange. What do you mean?" Raymond stared at her, his eyes gleaming. "Emelia." Scarlett's right hand hanging at her side trembled slightly, but she kept smiling. "I don't care about these things." He had nothing to do with her.
Raymond looked at Scarlett, saying after a pause, "Can you open the door?" Scarlett didn't want to open the door. "What's the matter? Just say it. I'm alone at home. It's not convenient to let you in." "I need to go to the toilet." Scarlett was surprised. "Cin." She unlocked the door and took a step back. After pulling open the door, Scarlett turned around and walked into the villa.
She stood on the second step of the stairs looking at Raymond who cin. "There is a toilet on the first floor over there." She said, pointing to the left.
Raymond didn't move. He wasn't here to go to the toilet.
Scarlett walked up to the second floor. She then realized that Raymond was following her. She subconsciously turned back and was held by him.
"I have nothing to do with Emelia. | didn't hug her. She lost her footing and fell on me." Scarlett's face turned cold. She looked up at him indifferently. "Let go of me." Raymond withdrew his arms and took a jewelry box out of his pocket. "I saw it at the auction the night before last, and at first sight, | thought it matched you."
